The Minister of Justice disclosed this last month while addressing a press conference in Abuja, stating that Kanu used the EndSARS protest last year to incite violence which led to the loss of life and properties.
Alloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the Lagos State EndSARS panel report.
Ejimakor said contrary to claims by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, the report exonerated Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, of any involvement in the protest.
Reacting, Ejimakor berated Malami for failing to mention those killed during the protest.
Ejimakor said: “The report exonerated my client, Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.“If you recall, on October 22, a day after the last two hearings, after which my client pleaded not guilty to the seven amended charges, the Attorney General came out with a press release, where he reeled out very wild allegations that were not on the amended charges.“One of the principal allegations he made against Nnamdi Kanu was that he was a ring leader in the EndSARS protest.
He claimed that Kanu sent his members, IPOB, to burn the palace of the Oba of Lagos.“Malami made a lot of allegations against Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB regarding the EndSARS, and was silent on the innocent citizens that were massacred.“Now, this report that came out has confirmed that innocent citizens as high as 11 were massacred.
I have a copy of the report and I went through it. There is no single indictment of Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB members.”
