Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has come out to say that he never ordered for the destruction of properties belonging to the people of the South-West geopolitical zone.

He recently revealed that his recent statements have been twisted by those who do not like him to suit their purposes.

According to him, his followers and Igbos should try as much as possible to avoid any destruction in the ongoing #EndSARS protests across Nigeria.

He added that FG agents should stop altering his broadcast to create the impression that he is instigating violence on Yorubas amid the protests.

His words, “#EndSARS is not an ethnic protest, stop the propaganda to make it one.”

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is a Nigerian Police Force unit under the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Anthony Ogbizi. Since 2012, SARS has come under controversy for being linked to acts of extortion, torture, framing and blackmail.

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad was founded in 1992 by former police commissioner Simeon Danladi Midenda. The major reason SARS was formed was when Col. Rindam, a Nigerian Army Colonel was killed by police officers at a checkpoint in Lagos.

SARS is one of the 14 units in the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department which was established to detain, investigate and prosecute people involved in crimes like armed robbery, kidnapping and other forms of crimes.

During its formation the Special Anti-Robbery Squad was known to operate covertly. SARS operatives were not allowed to wear police uniform, publicly carry guns or have walkie-talkies. They were given unmarked vehicles with sometimes no license plates or private plate numbers during duty.
