1
00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I am really shocked by the way some unpatriotic Nigerians

2
00:00:03,560 –> 00:00:07,440
have gone on social media misrepresenting Isho Speed’s visit to

3
00:00:07,519 –> 00:00:10,359
Nigeria and using it to project a negative image of

4
00:00:10,439 –> 00:00:13,679
their very own country while attempting to spoil what was

5
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:17,679
a good narrative of a very successful visit. First of all,

6
00:00:18,079 –> 00:00:21,480
Isho Speed never said or implied that Nigeria is Smelli.

7
00:00:22,199 –> 00:00:25,800
The young man perhaps achieved his most successful stream during

8
00:00:25,839 –> 00:00:29,679
his African tour in Nigeria, reaching a milestone of fifty

9
00:00:29,719 –> 00:00:34,159
million YouTube subscribers whilst in our dearly beloved country. He

10
00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:37,560
is the first black streamer to achieve that milestone, and

11
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:42,079
it occurred in Nigeria, boosted by Nigerian subscribers appreciative of

12
00:00:42,079 –> 00:00:46,640
his visit. What these few unpatriotic Nigerians who have a

13
00:00:46,679 –> 00:00:50,320
grudge against their own country fed by a separatist agenda,

14
00:00:50,719 –> 00:00:53,399
have done is take a screenshot of a particular stream

15
00:00:53,479 –> 00:00:57,119
where mister Darren Jason Watkins Junior made of face for

16
00:00:57,159 –> 00:00:59,719
a few seconds, which he often does all over the

17
00:00:59,759 –> 00:01:04,560
world world. Upon citing something interesting and peculiar using that

18
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,239
snap shot, they painted a false narrative claiming that Legos

19
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:12,159
is Smellian, but Darren Jason Watkins Junior aka is Show

20
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,359
Speed did not enjoy his time there and found nothing

21
00:01:15,439 –> 00:01:19,920
interesting or cultural to do. Sadly, their claims have gone

22
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:23,719
wildly viral. In fact, as evidenced by his streams and

23
00:01:23,799 –> 00:01:27,840
media coverage, Isho Speed had perhaps the most eventful moments

24
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,120
of his speed As Africa tour in Nigeria, which is

25
00:01:31,120 –> 00:01:33,879
why he chose to spend his twenty first birthday in

26
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,519
our country. He drew his biggest crowds here and was

27
00:01:37,519 –> 00:01:40,959
so impressed by that that he testified about it. He

28
00:01:41,040 –> 00:01:45,959
had gastronomical and cultural experiences, including visiting Freedom Park and

29
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:51,480
eating the world famous Nigerian Joloff rice, which he raved about. Thereafter,

30
00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:55,079
he had a belated Debty December moment by interacting with

31
00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:58,760
street dances in a carnival like manner and had intermittent

32
00:01:58,840 –> 00:02:02,879
encounters and conversation with street performers, including a man whose

33
00:02:02,879 –> 00:02:06,439
physical strength he celebrated after attempting and failing to match

34
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:11,360
his iron bending skills. Isho Speed also enjoyed Nigerian cature

35
00:02:11,439 –> 00:02:14,599
when he got to wear the special Nigerian hat known

36
00:02:14,639 –> 00:02:17,759
as a Feeler, made in Nigeria, from entirely from maid

37
00:02:17,879 –> 00:02:22,479
in Nigeria fabric, something that I have been promoting worldwide.

38
00:02:22,919 –> 00:02:26,599
His decision to blend in culturally with Nigerians through fashion

39
00:02:26,680 –> 00:02:29,520
made him so excited that he asked street vendors and

40
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:34,560
onlookers whether he looked Nigerian. And on his twenty first birthday,

41
00:02:34,879 –> 00:02:38,919
Isho Speed was surrounded by school children in their school uniforms,

42
00:02:38,960 –> 00:02:42,439
singing the famous Happy Birthday song to him, almost bringing

43
00:02:42,520 –> 00:02:46,680
him to tears. At Freedom Park, Isho Speed interacted with

44
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:50,639
various Legos street performers who taught the quick learner several

45
00:02:50,719 –> 00:02:54,240
dance steps particularly suited to the Nigerian music genre of

46
00:02:54,280 –> 00:02:58,360
afrobeats that has taken the world by storm. Isho Speed

47
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,439
then visited the Nike Art gasp in Lek where the

48
00:03:01,479 –> 00:03:05,479
management fated him and gifted him a traditional Lukumi yoruber outfit,

49
00:03:05,800 –> 00:03:09,960
which left him in awe. Mister Watkins next met Afrobeat’s

50
00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:13,599
singers alat Adibile, who surprised him with a birthday cake,

51
00:03:13,960 –> 00:03:16,800
prompting Isho Speed to shockingly reveal that that was the

52
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:20,919
first birthday cake he had ever received. Hard to believe

53
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:24,000
his time in Nigeria has become one of the most

54
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,280
discussed pop culture moments of the year so far, and

55
00:03:27,360 –> 00:03:29,800
he was surpleased with Nigeria that one of the first

56
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:33,000
things he did when he visited neighboring Benin Republic was

57
00:03:33,039 –> 00:03:36,319
to seek out Nigerian’s there to continue catching the fund

58
00:03:36,319 –> 00:03:40,560
that mesmerized him in Nigeria. Finally, it is not true

59
00:03:40,599 –> 00:03:43,639
that the streamer left Nigeria in a hurry after spending

60
00:03:43,680 –> 00:03:47,159
only a day in our beautiful country. The truth is

61
00:03:47,199 –> 00:03:49,719
that he has only twenty eight days to visit twenty

62
00:03:49,759 –> 00:03:54,039
African countries, and other than South Africa, where he spent

63
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:58,240
three days, he spent approximately twenty four hours in each country.

64
00:03:58,919 –> 00:04:01,840
At the beginning of the ti when he had more time,

65
00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:04,840
he spent more days in countries, but as the tour

66
00:04:04,879 –> 00:04:08,120
wore on and he observed the logistical challenges of visiting

67
00:04:08,159 –> 00:04:12,159
the proposed twenty nations, pragmatism forced him to allocate his

68
00:04:12,280 –> 00:04:16,199
time more prudently. In no other country did mister Watkins

69
00:04:16,319 –> 00:04:19,560
enjoy such an action packed twenty four hours, which is

70
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:22,439
why he claimed he was a Nigerian, even saying he

71
00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:26,240
was likely igboked and named himself a Mecca. From the above,

72
00:04:26,519 –> 00:04:29,879
it is clear that the narrative crafted by some unpatriotic

73
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:33,560
Nigerians and blown out of proportion by fellow Africans who

74
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:37,120
do not understand Pan Africanism is nothing but a pathetic

75
00:04:37,240 –> 00:04:39,800
light told by people who have already failed in their

76
00:04:39,879 –> 00:04:43,800
unfortunate attempts at setting the United States against Nigeria and

77
00:04:43,879 –> 00:04:47,519
are desperate to reignite their negative agenda for Nigeria after

78
00:04:47,519 –> 00:04:51,519
seeing the Trump administration cooperating with our great country instead

79
00:04:51,519 –> 00:05:03,040
of invading it. Qui Abu bakh Malami, a former Minister

80
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:06,040
of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation who was

81
00:05:06,040 –> 00:05:10,040
in office from November twenty fifteen till May twenty twenty three,

82
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,800
when the then President Mohammadu Buhari completed his eight years

83
00:05:13,879 –> 00:05:18,600
tenure in office, under which courts of competent jurisdiction granted

84
00:05:18,680 –> 00:05:23,199
several detained Nigerian’s bail, but the Buhari government refused to

85
00:05:23,279 –> 00:05:26,120
release them and even re arrested some of them after

86
00:05:26,199 –> 00:05:30,160
they had perfected their bail conditions. The then Minister of Justice,

87
00:05:30,399 –> 00:05:33,639
Abu Bakhar Malami, who was saddled with the responsibility of

88
00:05:33,720 –> 00:05:37,920
protecting citizens’ rights, came out openly and apparently justified the

89
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:41,720
violations of court orders by the then Buhari led government

90
00:05:42,160 –> 00:05:46,480
and during the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari, Abu Bakhar

91
00:05:46,560 –> 00:05:50,519
Malami frequently defended the actions of the government’s refusal to

92
00:05:50,560 –> 00:05:54,680
obey court’s orders of bail granted to high profile individuals

93
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:59,800
by asserting that national security and public interests superseded individual rights.

94
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:04,160
Some of the high profile individuals included Colonel Sambo Dasuki,

95
00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:07,800
the former National Security adviser in the era of President

96
00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:10,680
good Luck A. Beleet Jonathan, who was held for four

97
00:06:10,759 –> 00:06:15,279
years from December twenty fifteen to December twenty nineteen. Despite

98
00:06:15,319 –> 00:06:18,920
being granted bail by at least four different Nigerian high

99
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:21,759
courts and the echo As Court, he was repeatedly re

100
00:06:21,879 –> 00:06:25,959
arrested by the Department of State Services the SS immediately

101
00:06:26,079 –> 00:06:30,319
after fulfilling bail conditions. Shaik Ibrahim el Zakaki and his

102
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,680
wife Zina detained from December twenty fifteen until they were

103
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:38,560
released in July twenty twenty one. Were refused bail after

104
00:06:38,639 –> 00:06:42,600
Federal Court declared the attention illegal in twenty sixteen and

105
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:46,600
ordered their release by January twenty seventeen, but the government

106
00:06:46,759 –> 00:06:50,199
under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister, did not

107
00:06:50,399 –> 00:06:54,040
comply until they were eventually acquitted of all charges by

108
00:06:54,079 –> 00:06:57,720
a Kaduna State High Court in twenty twenty one. Also,

109
00:06:58,079 –> 00:07:01,160
Armiele Saware, an act of vis and a journalist who

110
00:07:01,240 –> 00:07:04,399
is the founder of Sahara, a Reporter’s News Media, remained

111
00:07:04,439 –> 00:07:08,319
in DSS custody for several months in twenty nineteen, despite

112
00:07:08,360 –> 00:07:12,600
fulfilling bail conditions set by Justice Hijeyamurrijuku. He was re

113
00:07:12,759 –> 00:07:15,759
arrested within the court room just twenty four hours after

114
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:20,560
a temporary release. Nandi Karu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous

115
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,879
People of Biafra IPOB leader, was refused bail during his

116
00:07:24,959 –> 00:07:29,639
initial trial in twenty fifteen. President Buhari then publicly stated

117
00:07:29,759 –> 00:07:32,879
during a media chat that Karnu, among others, would not

118
00:07:32,920 –> 00:07:35,759
be allowed to go on bail due to the nature

119
00:07:35,879 –> 00:07:40,079
of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings. In addition was

120
00:07:40,199 –> 00:07:43,800
Navy Captain Dadar Labinjo, who was detained by the Nigeria

121
00:07:43,879 –> 00:07:48,120
military from September twenty eighteen until at least late twenty nineteen,

122
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:51,360
despite a Federal High Court order for his release, and

123
00:07:51,439 –> 00:07:57,120
during these periods Abubakhar Malami provided several justifications for these detentions,

124
00:07:57,560 –> 00:08:01,879
most notably during his twenty nineteen minutes Exterial Screening, Malamy

125
00:08:01,959 –> 00:08:04,639
stated that the office of the AGF is meant to

126
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:08,720
protect the public interest and where the individual interest conflicts

127
00:08:08,759 –> 00:08:11,480
with the public interest, the interest of one hundred and

128
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:15,959
eighty million Nigerians must naturally prevail. He cited the Supreme

129
00:08:16,040 –> 00:08:20,319
Court case of Asari Dokubo versus Federal Republic of Nigeria,

130
00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:25,240
arguing it established that national security could supersede personal liberty

131
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:28,519
in specific contexts, and when Dusuki and sir War were

132
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:32,799
finally released in December twenty nineteen, Malamy claimed the government

133
00:08:32,879 –> 00:08:37,480
did so on compassionate grants and in compliance with court orders,

134
00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:41,919
while denying that international pressure from the United States US

135
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:46,200
influenced the decision. Currently, but then apparent defender and justifier

136
00:08:46,279 –> 00:08:49,679
of government disobedient to court orders is now calling on

137
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,080
Nigerians and begging them to help him get justice since

138
00:08:53,159 –> 00:08:57,399
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e FCC kept him

139
00:08:57,440 –> 00:09:00,399
in custody against court order that he had said earlier

140
00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:04,320
granted him bail and after perfecting his bail conditions, he

141
00:09:04,480 –> 00:09:06,919
was re arrested by the DS and since he has

142
00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:12,879
remained in detention. According to Mohammad Belodoka, special assistant on

143
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:16,200
Media to Abu Bakhar Malamy, the Office of Abu Bakhar

144
00:09:16,279 –> 00:09:21,039
Malamy SAN expresses grave concern over a series of actions

145
00:09:21,080 –> 00:09:25,559
by state agencies, which, taken together, amount to a deliberate

146
00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:28,919
attempt to frustrate his constitutional right to fare, hearing and

147
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:33,759
effective legal defense. Following charges filed by the Economic and

148
00:09:33,879 –> 00:09:37,960
Financial Crimes Commission e f c C, the Federal High

149
00:09:37,960 –> 00:09:43,279
Court granted mister Malamy bail. However, the EFCC delayed the

150
00:09:43,279 –> 00:09:46,519
submission of his international passports to the court for about

151
00:09:46,559 –> 00:09:49,879
one week, despite the passport’s being a key condition for

152
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:54,399
the perfection of bail. This delay unnecessarily prolonged his detention

153
00:09:54,519 –> 00:09:58,799
and obstructed the execution of a valid court order. Immediately

154
00:09:58,879 –> 00:10:02,799
after mister Malamy eventually perfected his bail and was released

155
00:10:02,799 –> 00:10:06,080
from cou Jay Custodial Center, he was re arrested by

156
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:10,679
the Department of State Services DSS. He was thereafter detained

157
00:10:10,679 –> 00:10:13,799
for five days without access to his lawyers or family,

158
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:17,159
and was only allowed to meet his legal team on Friday,

159
00:10:17,240 –> 00:10:21,960
after prolonged isolation, delays, and brave violations of his fundamental

160
00:10:22,039 –> 00:10:26,120
human rights. This detention occurred at a critical time when

161
00:10:26,159 –> 00:10:30,039
mister Malamy was required to prepare and open his defense

162
00:10:30,120 –> 00:10:33,639
in an EFCC in from forfeiture proceeding before the Federal

163
00:10:33,720 –> 00:10:37,759
High Court. Denying him access to counsel during this period

164
00:10:37,879 –> 00:10:43,240
directly impaired his ability to consult, prepare filings, and give instructions,

165
00:10:43,279 –> 00:10:47,519
amounting to a clear frustration of due process. This sequence

166
00:10:47,559 –> 00:10:51,360
of events clearly suggests a pattern where arrest procedes investigation,

167
00:10:51,919 –> 00:10:55,080
with evidence sought after detention, an approach that is a

168
00:10:55,080 –> 00:10:59,200
blatant violation of the rule of law and constitutionally guaranteed rights.

169
00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:02,720
It is deeply troubling that the DSS appears to be

170
00:11:02,759 –> 00:11:07,279
adopting a similar practice of arrest, detention, and then evidence gathering.

171
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:11,039
The office stresses that bail granted by a court must

172
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:15,399
have meaning. No agency should be permitted to neutralize judicial

173
00:11:15,519 –> 00:11:19,960
orders through coordinated delays, re arrests, or denial of access

174
00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:24,559
to legal representation. Such actions undermine the authority of the

175
00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:28,120
court’s and pose a serious threat to fundamental human rights.

176
00:11:28,919 –> 00:11:32,679
Mister Malami remains ready to defend himself fully in court

177
00:11:32,679 –> 00:11:35,320
and in accordance with the law, and calls on all

178
00:11:35,399 –> 00:11:39,960
state institutions to respect court orders, constitutional guarantees and the

179
00:11:40,080 –> 00:11:44,080
rule of law. In earlier press releases issued by Mohammad

180
00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:48,919
Bello dooka Special Assistant on Media to Abubakhar Malami San.

181
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:53,399
In December twenty twenty five, the office of Abubakar Malami San,

182
00:11:53,919 –> 00:11:57,559
former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,

183
00:11:57,879 –> 00:12:01,320
formally alert the Nigerian public and the US international community

184
00:12:01,360 –> 00:12:05,120
to the brazen, contemptuous and lawless conduct of the Economic

185
00:12:05,159 –> 00:12:08,799
and Financial Crimes Commission e f c C in its

186
00:12:08,879 –> 00:12:13,519
handling of matters concerning mister Malamy following the clear and

187
00:12:13,639 –> 00:12:16,519
unequivocal court order granted by the High Court of the

188
00:12:16,519 –> 00:12:21,000
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on the twenty third of December

189
00:12:21,039 –> 00:12:25,559
twenty twenty five, admitting Abubakar Malamy Sam to bail on

190
00:12:25,679 –> 00:12:29,000
already fulfilled conditions. Officials of the e f c C

191
00:12:29,240 –> 00:12:33,080
were formerly served with the court process. Rather than comply

192
00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:36,279
with the authority of the court, the Commission refused to

193
00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:39,559
accept the court back letter, chased away the bailiff and

194
00:12:39,679 –> 00:12:43,879
insisted on the continued detention of mister Malamy in blatant

195
00:12:43,960 –> 00:12:47,919
defiance of the law. This conduct represents nothing short of

196
00:12:47,960 –> 00:12:53,440
institutional lawlessness. The ef CC, an agency created by statute

197
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:57,039
and bound by the Constitution, has chosen to elevate itself

198
00:12:57,039 –> 00:13:00,240
above the courts, arrogating to its self powers. It does

199
00:13:00,279 –> 00:13:03,960
not possess in treating binding judicial orders with open disdain.

200
00:13:04,799 –> 00:13:08,279
More troubling is the fact that, despite revoking bail and

201
00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:14,960
detaining mister Malamy for over fourteen days, the EFCC has failed, refused,

202
00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:19,600
or neglected to arraign him before any court of competent jurisdiction.

203
00:13:20,039 –> 00:13:25,240
This prolonged detention without arraignment is illegal, unconstitutional, and oppressive,

204
00:13:25,559 –> 00:13:30,600
and amounts to a gross violation of mister Malamy’s fundamental rights.

205
00:13:30,799 –> 00:13:33,840
It is worthy of note that the EFCC is currently

206
00:13:33,879 –> 00:13:37,960
detaining abubac Ar Malamy Sam solely on the strength of

207
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:40,559
a High Court order that permitted his detention for a

208
00:13:40,559 –> 00:13:44,639
maximum period of fourteen days, an order which expires today.

209
00:13:45,440 –> 00:13:48,679
Even without regard to the separate bail granted by another

210
00:13:48,799 –> 00:13:53,399
high court of competent jurisdiction. The EFCC was legally obligated

211
00:13:53,440 –> 00:13:57,120
to either release him immediately or arraign him before a court. Today,

212
00:13:57,919 –> 00:14:01,120
it has done neither. This deliberate action is a further

213
00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:06,080
undamning confirmation of the EFCC’s vendetta, its platant disregard for

214
00:14:06,120 –> 00:14:09,240
the rule of law, and its dangerous descent into tyranny

215
00:14:09,279 –> 00:14:13,399
and abuse of power. Rather than submit itself to due process,

216
00:14:13,799 –> 00:14:17,639
the EFCC has instead embarked on an orchestrated media trial,

217
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:21,320
feeding selective narratives to the press in a deliberate attempt

218
00:14:21,399 –> 00:14:26,080
to poison public opinion, destroy reputations, and secure convictions in

219
00:14:26,120 –> 00:14:28,759
the court of public sentiment after failing to doce her

220
00:14:28,759 –> 00:14:31,919
in a court of law. This is a dangerous abuse

221
00:14:31,960 –> 00:14:36,039
of power and a direct assault on the principles of justice, fairness,

222
00:14:36,279 –> 00:14:39,799
and the rule of law. The Commission’s actions leave no

223
00:14:39,919 –> 00:14:43,000
doubt that it has abandoned its statutory mandate and allowed

224
00:14:43,039 –> 00:14:46,240
itself to be deployed as a tool of political persecution.

225
00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:50,720
When an anti corruption agency begins to disobey court orders,

226
00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:55,480
detain citizens indefinitely, and weaponize the media, it ceases to

227
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:57,879
be an instrument of justice and becomes a threat to

228
00:14:57,919 –> 00:15:02,080
democracy itself. Remind the e f c C that court

229
00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:06,240
orders are not suggestions their binding commands of the law.

230
00:15:06,679 –> 00:15:11,039
Selective obedience to judicial authority is the clearest pathway to anarchy,

231
00:15:11,399 –> 00:15:14,000
and Nigeria must not be allowed to descend into a

232
00:15:14,039 –> 00:15:17,519
state where security agencies choose which laws to obey and

233
00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:22,720
which to ignore. Abu Bakhar Malami San has repeatedly stated

234
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:25,879
his readiness to submit himself fully to due process and

235
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:29,279
to have any allegation determined strictly by a court of law.

236
00:15:30,039 –> 00:15:34,639
What he rejects rightly so is trial by detention, trial

237
00:15:34,679 –> 00:15:38,840
by media, and trial by political vendetta. The Office of

238
00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:43,519
Abu Bakar Malami San therefore calls on the judiciary to

239
00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:47,399
take urgent notice of this open contempt of court, relevant

240
00:15:47,440 –> 00:15:50,559
oversight bodies to hold the e f c C accountable

241
00:15:50,639 –> 00:15:54,120
for its serial violations of the law, and Nigerians of

242
00:15:54,159 –> 00:15:57,480
conscience to speak out against the dangerous precedent being set

243
00:15:57,519 –> 00:16:02,360
by the Commission’s actions. No agency, no matter how powerful,

244
00:16:02,759 –> 00:16:06,240
is above the law. The Office of Abu Bakar Malami

245
00:16:06,639 –> 00:16:11,120
San reiterates that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e

246
00:16:11,360 –> 00:16:14,919
f c C and its legal representatives have been properly

247
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:18,120
served with the order of the Honorable court. A day

248
00:16:18,159 –> 00:16:22,759
after the order was issued, the court bailiff, Mister Abiodin

249
00:16:22,840 –> 00:16:27,799
Kolawolee attempted service on the EFCC, which refused to receive

250
00:16:27,840 –> 00:16:31,919
the order. This refusal does not negate service nor diminish

251
00:16:31,960 –> 00:16:35,799
the authority of the court. Later that same evening, the

252
00:16:35,799 –> 00:16:40,960
office of ARCHITECPA San received the court order conclusively establishing

253
00:16:41,039 –> 00:16:45,240
notice and awareness on behalf of the e FCC. Meanwhile,

254
00:16:45,559 –> 00:16:49,600
emieleesa War has said he will never support extra judicial

255
00:16:49,639 –> 00:16:54,080
measures against anyone. I urged the Economic and Financial Crimes

256
00:16:54,120 –> 00:16:57,240
Commissioned to obey the court order granting bail to form

257
00:16:57,279 –> 00:17:02,840
a Nigerian Attorney General Abubakharm Malami San that said, we

258
00:17:02,919 –> 00:17:06,079
must also speak honestly about the despicable conduct of the

259
00:17:06,119 –> 00:17:09,960
Mohammadu Buhari and the Malami who governed with arrogance and impunity,

260
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:12,640
acting as though there would be no tomorrow and no

261
00:17:12,680 –> 00:17:17,279
accountability for their actions. In twenty nineteen, after four months

262
00:17:17,279 –> 00:17:21,559
of detention under the Mohammadu Buhari regime, I was granted bail,

263
00:17:21,920 –> 00:17:25,799
but Abu Bakar Malami San and the useless d SSDG.

264
00:17:25,960 –> 00:17:29,319
Yusuf Bicchi demanded that my sureties appear at the DSS

265
00:17:30,160 –> 00:17:33,759
offers for profiling, a request I refused to comply with.

266
00:17:41,440 –> 00:17:45,319
Nigeria Military Authority has confirmed the death of five soldiers

267
00:17:45,359 –> 00:17:48,680
and one police officer in an ambush launched by terrorists

268
00:17:48,720 –> 00:17:52,799
on Monday at Giddenwagni area of Zamfara State. The incident

269
00:17:52,880 –> 00:17:55,839
may be a reminder of incessant cases of high rates

270
00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:59,960
of Nigeria losing its soldiers and other security operatives in ambush,

271
00:18:00,640 –> 00:18:03,640
especially as observed as a worsening situation in the year

272
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,960
twenty twenty five, with the ambush of army barracks and

273
00:18:07,039 –> 00:18:09,839
killing of the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria

274
00:18:10,279 –> 00:18:13,519
AFN by terrorists in large number began as early as

275
00:18:13,599 –> 00:18:17,319
January twenty twenty five. It may be recalled that in

276
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:21,200
January twenty twenty five, terrorists launched an attack on the

277
00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:25,519
one hundred and forty nine Battalion in Malam Forturi, Borno State,

278
00:18:25,880 –> 00:18:29,319
leading to the killing of over twenty military personnel, including

279
00:18:29,359 –> 00:18:33,680
a battalion commander and senior offices. Within the first quarter,

280
00:18:34,079 –> 00:18:36,839
A careful review of news reports showed that more than

281
00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:40,400
one hundred Nigeria soldiers were reportedly killed in the first

282
00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:44,279
quarter of twenty twenty five by terrorists, mostly in ambush.

283
00:18:45,039 –> 00:18:49,000
In June twenty twenty five, terrorists attacks on three army

284
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,599
bases in central and northwestern Nigeria resulted in the killing

285
00:18:52,640 –> 00:18:57,200
of at least seventeen soldiers, and in September twenty twenty five,

286
00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:00,000
a major ambush on the barger made a Guri road

287
00:19:00,359 –> 00:19:03,359
was reported where at least forty soldiers were killed and

288
00:19:03,440 –> 00:19:07,680
sixty five went missing, while in October twenty twenty five,

289
00:19:08,119 –> 00:19:10,920
at least four soldiers were killed in the Boco Haram

290
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:15,039
ambush in Borno State, while another encounter in Camche resulted

291
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:18,319
in one soldier killed, and by November twenty twenty five,

292
00:19:18,799 –> 00:19:22,160
the Nigerian Army confirmed the death of Brigadier General Mussa

293
00:19:22,319 –> 00:19:25,319
Uber and two other soldiers following an ambush by IS

294
00:19:25,559 –> 00:19:30,160
swap terrorists near Wijeroco town in Borno State, which some

295
00:19:30,279 –> 00:19:34,319
local media reported that several soldiers were killed during the ambush.

296
00:19:34,640 –> 00:19:37,240
Even some of the local media stated that those who

297
00:19:37,359 –> 00:19:40,480
escaped the ambush, like the Brigadier general, were traced and

298
00:19:40,559 –> 00:19:43,920
killed by the terrorists, apparently after hours of no rescue

299
00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:48,880
or prompt reinforcement by the Nigeria Military Authority. According to

300
00:19:48,920 –> 00:19:54,079
Captain David Adassi, the Media Information Officer of Operation Fansan Yama,

301
00:19:54,519 –> 00:19:57,200
the five soldiers and the police officer were killed while

302
00:19:57,240 –> 00:20:00,799
the troops were returning from a successful operation and responding

303
00:20:00,839 –> 00:20:03,759
to a distress call of terrorists attack in a community

304
00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:08,839
in Zamfara State. In his words, Captain David Adalssi said,

305
00:20:09,279 –> 00:20:13,839
troops of Operation fans and Yama opf Y joined Tasks

306
00:20:13,960 –> 00:20:20,279
Forced Northwest have demonstrated exceptional bravery, professionalism and resilience following

307
00:20:20,279 –> 00:20:23,720
a terrorist ambush along the Bingi keken Wadje Gussa Road

308
00:20:23,799 –> 00:20:27,599
in Zamfara State on the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six.

309
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,680
The ambush followed a series of successful offensive operations conducted

310
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:36,319
from seventeen to the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six,

311
00:20:36,759 –> 00:20:40,400
when troops of Sector two opf Y, in conjunction with

312
00:20:40,440 –> 00:20:44,440
the opf Y Mobile Strike Team and DEA Tactical Support Team,

313
00:20:44,839 –> 00:20:49,640
carried out co ordinated raids, ambushes and fighting patrols across Burnon,

314
00:20:49,759 –> 00:20:54,559
Megaji and Anchor areas of Zamfara State. During these operations,

315
00:20:54,880 –> 00:21:00,839
three suspects IC Aquakutawa Ibrahem, Dan Mussulu and makhaw Lambergoma

316
00:21:01,200 –> 00:21:04,680
were arrested, while four terrorists were neutralized and others fled

317
00:21:04,720 –> 00:21:09,519
into the forest. Items recovered included one PKT machine gun,

318
00:21:09,880 –> 00:21:14,279
five a K forty seven rifles, three Act forty seven magazines,

319
00:21:14,640 –> 00:21:18,000
other items a rounds of seven point six two millimeters

320
00:21:18,039 –> 00:21:23,960
special ammunition, Baufeng radios, three motorcycles. While returning from these

321
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:27,279
operations and responding to a distress call on a terrorist

322
00:21:27,279 –> 00:21:30,839
for a prisal attack, troops of OPF Y Combat Team

323
00:21:30,920 –> 00:21:34,359
I came under attack by terrorists at gidden Wagni while

324
00:21:34,519 –> 00:21:37,920
en route to Keke and Wage. Despite the surprise of

325
00:21:37,960 –> 00:21:42,079
the ambush, the troops responded gallantly, engaging the terrorists and

326
00:21:42,160 –> 00:21:47,400
preventing further harm to nearby communities. Regrettably, five soldiers and

327
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:51,119
one police officer paid the supreme sacrifice during the encounter.

328
00:21:52,079 –> 00:21:55,839
Upon receipt of the distress report, the OPF Y Mobile

329
00:21:55,960 –> 00:21:59,240
Strike Team, in conjunction with troops of one Brigade Quick

330
00:21:59,279 –> 00:22:04,079
Reaction Forms from Forward Operating Bases Carnoma and Kekenwadge, swiftly

331
00:22:04,880 –> 00:22:08,720
mobilized to the scene. The reinforcement was personally led by

332
00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:11,960
the Commander one Brigade, underscoring the high level of co

333
00:22:12,160 –> 00:22:17,160
ordination and commitment within the operation. The combined force mounted

334
00:22:17,160 –> 00:22:20,559
a robust counter ambush which forced the terrorists to withdraw,

335
00:22:20,960 –> 00:22:25,079
with credible intelligence indicating the notorious bandits king Pin Janguya

336
00:22:25,119 –> 00:22:28,640
and Alhaji Bello. The two icee to catch Alla Soldier Series.
