A human rights group named The Global Network for Human Rights (GNHR), has handpicked Aisha Yesufu, Falz, DJ Switch, and few other celebrities for investigation after accusing them of Instigating campaign that allegedly led to the killing of policemen across the nation during the #Endsars protest.

According to GNHR, Aisha Yesufu and others contributed in one way or the other in ramping up public anger before the protests began. They then intensified the incitement of people in multiple folds in the early days of the protests such that their actions can be directly linked to the outbreak of violence.

Few notable Nigerians to be investigated on GNHR list are Chief Femi Falana, Falz (Folarin Falana), Nnamdi Kanu, Obianuju Catherine Udeh (DJ Switch), Aisha Yesufu, Reno Omokri, Deji Adeyanju, Dino Melaye, David Oyedepo, BurnaBoy, Paul Okoye, Ayo Makun amongst others.
