Nnamdi Kanu
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has distanced himself from any form of violence that erupted in Lagos during the 2020 End SARS protests against police brutality.
TVC reports that in a video recording played in court, Nnamdi Kanu, in an Interview with Mr BBB, who is the prosecution’s 2nd witness, Mr Kanu in his words admitted to being the leader of IPOB and ESN. The IPOB leader also admitted to making a series of broadcasts during the Endsars protests.
However, in the interview, Mr Kanu said;
“Any form of violence that occurred in Lagos during the protest can not be attributed to him as Lagos is not a Biafran state. IPOB is a non violent movement, your interpretation of my broadcast is different from my understanding. I have no idea what happened to police officers” he said.
The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, adjourned the case till 14th, 21st and 22nd May for continuation of hearing.
