00:00:36,240 –> 00:00:38,719

00:01:32,760 –> 00:01:36,239
fifty persons in Katsina States suspected to be responsible for

Speaker 2: Stead In quotesus.

41
00:02:14,719 –> 00:02:17,439
Speaker 1: It is with great sense of responsibility that I address

42
00:02:17,520 –> 00:02:21,439
you this evening. You will recall that, upon several indications

43
00:02:21,439 –> 00:02:24,360
by various groups of their intents to commence a nationwide

44
00:02:24,360 –> 00:02:27,080
protest on the first of August twenty twenty four, we

45
00:02:27,199 –> 00:02:31,360
rolled out several warnings based on actionable intelligence at our disposal,

46
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:34,599
indicating that some groups were mobilizing our youth for violent

47
00:02:34,680 –> 00:02:38,400
protests with intent to create anarchy in the country, while

48
00:02:38,479 –> 00:02:41,759
some groups claiming to be mobilizing for peaceful protests, we’re

49
00:02:41,759 –> 00:02:45,159
doing so with violent undertones, refusing to cooperate with the

50
00:02:45,199 –> 00:02:48,879
police own mergers to be taken to guarantee peaceful protests.

51
00:02:49,319 –> 00:02:52,360
On the basis of this intelligence, the police advised that

52
00:02:52,439 –> 00:02:54,879
the protests should be shelved at the instant time.

53
00:02:55,599 –> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: Where the organizers insisted on going.

54
00:02:57,719 –> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: On with the protests, they were advised instead protests and

55
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:05,199
confined locations. This would have enabled the police provide adequate

56
00:03:05,240 –> 00:03:08,719
protection for the protesters and isolate the criminals whose intention

57
00:03:09,039 –> 00:03:11,520
was to loose and destroy in the name of a protest.

58
00:03:12,319 –> 00:03:14,680
This we were doing in further rands of our duty

59
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:17,879
to protect lives and property and maintaining law and order.

60
00:03:18,719 –> 00:03:21,680
While we have firmed the constitutional rights of citizens to

61
00:03:21,759 –> 00:03:25,319
assemble and express their views on issues of national importance,

62
00:03:25,439 –> 00:03:28,840
we were worry about the dangers posed by agitation instigated

63
00:03:28,919 –> 00:03:32,319
by some individuals who have shown tendencies to be disloyal

64
00:03:32,479 –> 00:03:36,240
to the government of the day. Despite our suspicions, we

65
00:03:36,319 –> 00:03:40,000
showed good first through professional conduct by providing security at

66
00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:44,479
strategic locations all m as and showing peacefull conduct during

67
00:03:44,479 –> 00:03:45,080
the protests.

68
00:03:45,080 –> 00:03:46,919
Speaker 2: As the promoter’s plage.

69
00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:49,759
Speaker 1: Our main deploydation wise went out with a clear brief

70
00:03:49,840 –> 00:03:53,319
to ensure that no one is unnecessarily harassed or intimidated.

71
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:57,159
In places where there were court orders, we gave instructions

72
00:03:57,199 –> 00:04:01,719
for observance of sem Regrettably, events in some major cities

73
00:04:01,719 –> 00:04:04,960
TODAS showed that what was being instigated was mass uprising

74
00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,759
and looting, not protests. Those who were in the forefront

75
00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:11,439
of promoting the idea of the protests were not around

76
00:04:11,479 –> 00:04:14,439
to leave it. Kudlooms have been led to loose on

77
00:04:14,479 –> 00:04:18,920
innocent Nigerians and their harderned businesses and property rooted and destroyed.

78
00:04:19,639 –> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: The motive of the rioters was.

79
00:04:21,240 –> 00:04:25,199
Speaker 1: Basically too loot and destroy both private and government property.

80
00:04:25,959 –> 00:04:29,319
Their destruction so far has been mind boggling. There has

81
00:04:29,399 –> 00:04:35,439
been destruction in Cano, Bernu, Yobi, Krduna, Gumbay, Bakshi, Et City, Abuja,

82
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:37,000
Niger Jegawa.

83
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:39,639
Speaker 2: Police stations have been destroyed.

84
00:04:39,759 –> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: There has been attempts to take over government houses, looting

85
00:04:43,199 –> 00:04:47,279
of government infrastructures. Several warehouses and shops have so far

86
00:04:47,360 –> 00:04:52,120
been looted and in several instances completely destroyed. In spite

87
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:55,480
of the refusal of the protesters, for instance in It City,

88
00:04:55,560 –> 00:04:58,160
to adhere to a court of their requesting that protests

89
00:04:58,199 –> 00:05:01,399
in Abuja should be at the nationals the troops into

90
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:04,920
the streets, and yet the police provided security for them

91
00:05:05,120 –> 00:05:07,920
at all points day we breached their fundamental rights, even

92
00:05:07,959 –> 00:05:12,240
as the bridge court order. In classes like that City, Cardunna,

93
00:05:12,439 –> 00:05:16,480
Canoe and Gouget, among others, we recorded incidents of unprovoked

94
00:05:16,480 –> 00:05:20,240
attacks on security personnel where one policeman has been reported

95
00:05:20,319 –> 00:05:24,160
modered and others seriously injured. We are lettered earlier on

96
00:05:24,240 –> 00:05:27,000
that terror elements may take advantage of the protest to

97
00:05:27,079 –> 00:05:31,959
infiltrate the crowd of protesters with suicide bombers. Yesterday, in Legos,

98
00:05:32,079 –> 00:05:35,000
our Ill Day team was informed of a suspected idea

99
00:05:35,040 –> 00:05:38,879
on bank Anthhony with Ikeja. The team responded swiftly and

100
00:05:38,959 –> 00:05:42,399
rendered itself what turned out to be an improvised exclusive device.

101
00:05:42,480 –> 00:05:47,000
Wide together in Bonnustet, we recorded one incident of explosion

102
00:05:47,040 –> 00:05:50,160
which occurred in the crowd of protesters, killing four instantly

103
00:05:50,199 –> 00:05:53,319
and severely injuring thirty four others, many of whom are

104
00:05:53,360 –> 00:05:57,399
presently on danger list. We wish to advise low abiding

105
00:05:57,480 –> 00:06:00,759
citizens of Nigeria to head and not dismissed warnings given

106
00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:03,720
by the police and other security agencies which were best

107
00:06:03,759 –> 00:06:08,240
on credible and actionable security intelligence. In the lights of

108
00:06:08,279 –> 00:06:11,759
the current situation, the Nigeria Police Force has placed all

109
00:06:11,879 –> 00:06:13,120
units on red alerts.

110
00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:15,319
Speaker 2: Our officers are fully.

111
00:06:15,079 –> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: Mobilized and prepared to respond sweetly and decisively to any

112
00:06:18,639 –> 00:06:22,480
further threats to public safety and order. We remain committed

113
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:25,839

114
00:06:25,959 –> 00:06:28,000
law and other are maintained across the nation.

115
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: Groups who are hiding under the guise of exercise of

116
00:06:31,639 –> 00:06:34,439
a right provided in the Constitution to destabilize.

117
00:06:34,480 –> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: The countries should remember that the same constitution impores on

118
00:06:37,720 –> 00:06:39,680
them the duty to obey the laws.

119
00:06:39,399 –> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: Of the land and respect the rights of other citizens.

120
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:45,959
Speaker 1: The police is equate to respond appropriately to the unfolding

121
00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:50,279
situation and will get assistance from other security agencies, including

122
00:06:50,279 –> 00:06:52,120
the military, if the need arises.

123
00:06:53,000 –> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: We are killed to all citizens to remain.

124
00:06:55,160 –> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: Come and cooperate with the police and other security agencies

125
00:06:58,439 –> 00:06:59,879
during this challenging period.

126
00:07:00,680 –> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 2: Your safety is our top priority.

127
00:07:02,879 –> 00:07:05,759
Speaker 1: And we will continue to take all necessary meagers to

128
00:07:05,920 –> 00:07:10,879
ensure continuities and stability in our country. Thank you, the IGPs,

129
00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:15,279

Milleray Adenola, said the protests would continue until President Balatinobo

131
00:07:20,160 –> 00:07:24,240
acceded to their demands. The protesters said they are demanding

132
00:07:24,240 –> 00:07:27,240
the reversal of petrol pump price to one hundred narras

133
00:07:27,319 –> 00:07:31,000
per litter and a two insecurity, the closing of IDP camps,

134
00:07:31,079 –> 00:07:36,360
end electoral reform, among other things. Adenola said the various

135
00:07:36,439 –> 00:07:40,160
orders of count restricting protesters to particular locations are an

136
00:07:40,160 –> 00:07:44,120
aberration our presence here today is an announcement that we

137
00:07:44,199 –> 00:07:45,600
have been oppressed for the law.

138
00:07:46,360 –> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Today we have reason.

139
00:07:48,199 –> 00:07:52,319
Speaker 1: We are selling that unless President Balatinobo acceded to our demands,

140
00:07:52,360 –> 00:07:55,519

Michael Lenning, said it would continue on Friday to get

regardless of the intimidation by the security agencies. He told

145
00:08:10,560 –> 00:08:14,279
reporters that the protest will continue. We are not intimidated

146
00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:17,839
by what the security agencies do. This government does not

147
00:08:17,959 –> 00:08:20,560
appear like one ready to listen to the citizens.

148
00:08:20,600 –> 00:08:22,639
Speaker 2: With the word protesters were attacked today.

00:08:26,480 –> 00:08:32,039

00:08:32,039 –> 00:08:33,279
a mort logical way.
