00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: President Bulla Ahmed Tenubu of Nigeria has commended the governors
2
00:00:04,160 –> 00:00:07,799
of Kaduna and Plato States after citizens were massacred by
3
00:00:07,919 –> 00:00:12,039
terrorists almost simultaneously on Sunday in the two states, with
4
00:00:12,080 –> 00:00:15,839
the President claiming Governor Caleb Matuan contained the situation in
5
00:00:15,960 –> 00:00:19,719
Joss without specifically stating what the governor did, even when
6
00:00:19,879 –> 00:00:24,519
armed terrorists scenes successfully invaded and massacred citizens or brutally
7
00:00:24,559 –> 00:00:28,640
and indiscriminately shot sporadically and killed numbers of persons at
8
00:00:28,679 –> 00:00:32,439
gary yar Way quarters in the Anguin Recouba community of
9
00:00:32,600 –> 00:00:37,280
Joss North Local Government area of Plato State on Sunday night,
10
00:00:37,359 –> 00:00:40,359
which was also the Christians last day of the Holy
11
00:00:40,439 –> 00:00:43,200
week of Lend known as Palm Sunday leading up to
12
00:00:43,280 –> 00:00:47,600
Easter celebration. Residents said the terrorists raided the community and
13
00:00:47,679 –> 00:00:51,039
operated for a long period of time that lasted after
14
00:00:51,079 –> 00:00:55,079
an hour without resistance or any action from government. Some
15
00:00:55,200 –> 00:00:59,159
even accused men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN
16
00:00:59,200 –> 00:01:03,439
of allegedly aid and giving cover to the terrorists to escape. Specifically,
17
00:01:03,719 –> 00:01:06,439
one of the youth’s leaders in Platau State, who spoke
18
00:01:06,519 –> 00:01:11,200
with a prominent Nigeria social media personality Martin’s Vincent totze
19
00:01:11,359 –> 00:01:14,319
k a Veridarkmann, who visited the scene of the crime,
20
00:01:14,719 –> 00:01:18,519
said Nigeria’s soldiers prevented the youths from going after the
21
00:01:18,640 –> 00:01:21,640
terrorists and stood in between the gaps, shooting at the
22
00:01:21,680 –> 00:01:25,359
youths while the terrorists escaped. But in a swift reaction
23
00:01:25,480 –> 00:01:29,480
on Tuesday, Nigeria Army authority debunked the claim that the
24
00:01:29,519 –> 00:01:33,640
soliders gave the terrorists a cover, saying the soldiers arrived
25
00:01:33,640 –> 00:01:36,200
the scene with four gun trucks after the terrorists have
26
00:01:36,359 –> 00:01:40,120
left due to long distance and acted professionally, without stating
27
00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:45,000
what the soldiers did professionally before the Sunday massacre. On Friday,
28
00:01:45,280 –> 00:01:47,680
in one of the burial ceremonies of the people that
29
00:01:47,760 –> 00:01:51,359
were previously killed by terrorists in Platau State during the
30
00:01:51,439 –> 00:01:56,519
Christians Holy week of Lent, Reverend Ezekiel Dacamo, while speaking said,
31
00:01:56,920 –> 00:02:00,879
in this village riming Ream local government area alone, we
32
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:04,439
have received attacks from the Islamic terrorists more than twenty
33
00:02:04,480 –> 00:02:08,080
four times, and many residents said the Sunday massacre was
34
00:02:08,120 –> 00:02:11,599
premeditated and the governor and the president apparently failed to
35
00:02:11,639 –> 00:02:15,759
put proactive measures in place to prevent the attacks that aside.
36
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:19,039
Almost at the same time, on Sunday, another group of
37
00:02:19,159 –> 00:02:23,479
terrorists attacked Kahir Village in Kagako Local Government Area of
38
00:02:23,560 –> 00:02:27,680
Kaduna State, shot sporadically at residence and killed and kidnapped
39
00:02:27,719 –> 00:02:32,039
several numbers of wedding guests, a crime. According to Punch newspaper,
40
00:02:32,319 –> 00:02:35,560
a resident said the attack is operated freely and successfully
41
00:02:35,639 –> 00:02:39,639
up to an hour without resistance. But President Bola Ahmed
42
00:02:39,639 –> 00:02:42,919
to Nubu in a press statement on Tuesday, specifically said
43
00:02:43,319 –> 00:02:46,400
I commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Platau State for his
44
00:02:46,520 –> 00:02:50,080
efforts in containing the situation in Joss and Governor Uber
45
00:02:50,199 –> 00:02:54,120
Sani of Kaduna State for supporting the rescue and containment efforts,
46
00:02:54,840 –> 00:02:59,360
apparently reacting to the worsening security situation in Nigeria. Shortly
47
00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:02,599
after the president saident press release was published on Tuesday,
48
00:03:03,039 –> 00:03:07,599
Lieutenant General to Kubra Attie, former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff,
49
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:11,680
posted a video in his verified Facebook social media account
50
00:03:11,879 –> 00:03:17,280
with a statement history Maida, Guri, Nigeria, year twenty seventeen.
51
00:03:18,120 –> 00:03:21,719
For the first time in years, the Nigerian Army conducted
52
00:03:21,759 –> 00:03:25,000
military drills in the Sambi Sir Forest, which previously had
53
00:03:25,039 –> 00:03:30,000
been a stronghold for Bokoharam. Voice of America VOA was
54
00:03:30,080 –> 00:03:34,680
given rare access to the exercises. Formations of the Nigerian
55
00:03:34,840 –> 00:03:38,439
Army performed their twenty seventeen annual drill in Borno State
56
00:03:38,879 –> 00:03:43,159
in northeast Nigeria. The location in Sambi Sir Forest was
57
00:03:43,199 –> 00:03:47,719
no accident. The Nigerian Army retick Sambisir late twenty sixteen
58
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:51,840
and moved its annual exercises there. The event was attended
59
00:03:51,840 –> 00:03:55,680
by leaders from the military and the Nigerian government. In
60
00:03:55,719 –> 00:03:59,919
contrast to the commendation of Plateau and Kaduna States governor,
61
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:03,360
it would be recalled that President Bola Tanoubu declared a
62
00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:07,280
state of emergency in Rivers State on March eighteenth, twenty
63
00:04:07,360 –> 00:04:11,639
twenty five, and gave six months suspension to the governor. Similarly,
64
00:04:11,719 –> 00:04:14,960
Fabara and his deputy and the State House of Assembly
65
00:04:15,039 –> 00:04:18,040
on the grounds that the Fabara administration was failing to
66
00:04:18,079 –> 00:04:23,360
protect critical infrastructure, specifically regarding the reported vandalization of oil
67
00:04:23,480 –> 00:04:28,000
pipelines like Trans Niger Pipeline without intervention, even in the
68
00:04:28,040 –> 00:04:32,360
face of verifiable facts that on February eighteenth, twenty twenty five,
69
00:04:32,920 –> 00:04:36,720
exactly one month before his suspension, Fabara met with the
70
00:04:36,759 –> 00:04:41,199
General Officer Commanding GOOC of the sixth Division, pledging full
71
00:04:41,240 –> 00:04:45,160
support for military efforts to curb pipeline vandalism and protect
72
00:04:45,240 –> 00:04:51,519
national infrastructure, and invested in operational equipment, including donating vehicles, gunboats,
73
00:04:51,680 –> 00:04:54,920
and an AW one hundred thirty nine helicopter to the
74
00:04:55,000 –> 00:04:58,560
Nigerian Air Force on March fifth, twenty twenty five, to
75
00:04:58,720 –> 00:05:03,279
enhance their efficiency in patrolling oil facilities, while Fabara also
76
00:05:03,399 –> 00:05:07,040
publicly charged traditional rulers to actively work for peace in
77
00:05:07,079 –> 00:05:10,000
the domains and help stem the tide of oil bunkering
78
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:15,360
and vandalism. According to American humanitarian and people’s rights activists
79
00:05:15,720 –> 00:05:19,040
Alex Barbeer, if you have no right to breathe, what
80
00:05:19,160 –> 00:05:22,639
right do you have While people are fighting for elections
81
00:05:22,959 –> 00:05:26,480
and painting banners of Tenubu and everybody’s worrying about a
82
00:05:26,639 –> 00:05:32,040
PC PDP LP, you are being killed. At what point
83
00:05:32,079 –> 00:05:35,600
will the people care about life? Alex Barbeer made this
84
00:05:35,720 –> 00:05:39,040
in reaction to the Sunday massacre at gary Yarwey area
85
00:05:39,120 –> 00:05:42,079
in Jos while speaking with the locals at the scene
86
00:05:42,079 –> 00:05:46,240
of the crime, while Reverend Ezekiel Dacamo called on President
87
00:05:46,319 –> 00:05:49,560
Donald Trump of the United States US to send a
88
00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:53,000
small unit of U S soldiers alongside US drones to
89
00:05:53,040 –> 00:05:55,800
Plateau State, else the people in the state would be
90
00:05:55,839 –> 00:06:00,000
wiped out by the Islami terrorists reacting to soldiers gas
91
00:06:00,000 –> 00:06:04,759
giving the terrorists cover to escape. Captain Chenonso Polycarpote, the
92
00:06:04,839 –> 00:06:09,360
Media Information Officer of Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace,
93
00:06:09,439 –> 00:06:13,079
in a rebuttal on Tuesday, stated in quotes that the
94
00:06:13,120 –> 00:06:17,279
attention of Headquarters Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace has
95
00:06:17,360 –> 00:06:19,879
been drawn to a false comment by one of the
96
00:06:19,920 –> 00:06:24,560
youth leaders of Angwin Rocouba community circulating on various social
97
00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:28,800
media platforms, alleging the troops provided cover for the perpetrators
98
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:32,399
of palm Sunday unprovoked attack at Angwin Rocouba community in
99
00:06:32,519 –> 00:06:37,279
Jos North Local Government Area of Platau State. Ordinarily, the
100
00:06:37,360 –> 00:06:39,920
reply to the comment made by the youth leader would
101
00:06:39,959 –> 00:06:43,319
not have been necessary, especially in this moment of grief.
102
00:06:43,639 –> 00:06:46,000
But for the purpose of clarity in the benefit of
103
00:06:46,040 –> 00:06:49,839
well meaning Nigerians, it is expedient to state unequivocally that
104
00:06:49,920 –> 00:06:52,959
at no point, did troops provide any form of cover
105
00:06:53,040 –> 00:06:56,240
for the terrorists elements who carried out the unfortunate attack
106
00:06:56,319 –> 00:07:00,720
that claimed the lives of innocent citizens. Rather, troops, on
107
00:07:00,839 –> 00:07:04,879
receiving a distress call on the unfortunate incident, swiftly mobilized
108
00:07:04,879 –> 00:07:07,199
to the scene, which was far away from where they
109
00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:11,079
were deployed, and observed that the attackers had fled. Troops
110
00:07:11,120 –> 00:07:14,480
acted professionally to avert what could have spiral to endless
111
00:07:14,480 –> 00:07:17,560
bloodshed and pursued the fleeing criminals, as can be attested
112
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,319
too by so many survivors who were at the scene
113
00:07:20,319 –> 00:07:24,759
of the attack. Specifically, four gun trucks mounted by troops
114
00:07:24,759 –> 00:07:27,879
were despatched to the incidents seen and they acted professionally
115
00:07:27,879 –> 00:07:31,759
on arrival, as confirmed by other security agencies as well
116
00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:35,360
as eye witnesses at the scene of the attack. Nonetheless,
117
00:07:35,639 –> 00:07:39,279
the allegation was promptly investigated and confirmed to be false.
118
00:07:40,120 –> 00:07:44,000
The comment by the youth leader is false, misleading, and unfortunate,
119
00:07:44,439 –> 00:07:48,279
capable of demoralizing troops and causing disaffection between the military
120
00:07:48,279 –> 00:07:52,439
and its host community. The public is requested to discountenance
121
00:07:52,480 –> 00:07:56,639
the comment, remain calm, law abiding, and continue to support
122
00:07:56,680 –> 00:08:02,160
troops with credible and actionable information on terrorists’ activities. Troops,
123
00:08:02,160 –> 00:08:06,600
in conjunction with other security agencies, have adopted effective strategies
124
00:08:06,639 –> 00:08:10,040
to unravel and apprehend the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
125
00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:14,759
Troops will continue to deal decisively with criminals while maintaining
126
00:08:14,839 –> 00:08:19,120
peace in every part of Plato State, Nigeria Presidency. In
127
00:08:19,160 –> 00:08:22,319
a statement signed and made available by bao on Anuga,
128
00:08:22,759 –> 00:08:26,160
the Special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy,
129
00:08:26,199 –> 00:08:31,120
on Tuesday, President Bolatanubu has strongly condemned the barbarican coward
130
00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:35,759
the attacks by gunmen in Anguin Rekuba District, Jos, Plato State.
131
00:08:36,519 –> 00:08:40,000
He equally condemned the attacks in Cahir Village in Kagako
132
00:08:40,080 –> 00:08:44,279
Local Government Area of Kaduna State, describing the attack on
133
00:08:44,360 –> 00:08:46,879
the community in Jos and the killing and abduction of
134
00:08:46,960 –> 00:08:49,440
wedding guests in Kaduna as an affront of all that
135
00:08:49,600 –> 00:08:54,360
Nigeria stands for. President Tanubu assured Nigerians that the barbaric
136
00:08:54,480 –> 00:08:58,360
acts will not go unpunished. Anyone who will sneak under
137
00:08:58,399 –> 00:09:01,039
the cover of the knight and killed off defence’s citizens
138
00:09:01,039 –> 00:09:04,039
as done in Jos and Kaheir Village is a heartless
139
00:09:04,080 –> 00:09:08,600
coward by attacking soft targets in Jos. Their objective is
140
00:09:08,639 –> 00:09:11,320
not only to cause harm, but also trigger a spiral
141
00:09:11,360 –> 00:09:15,320
of reprisal attacks and further blood letting. He said. He
142
00:09:15,399 –> 00:09:19,679
has directed security agencies to intensify all efforts to pursue
143
00:09:19,679 –> 00:09:23,720
the perpetrators and those spreading misinformation that can inflame tensions
144
00:09:23,720 –> 00:09:27,879
and further endanger lives. He cautioned some sections of the
145
00:09:27,919 –> 00:09:33,799
media insinuating the attacks were religiously motivated. President Tanubu reaffirmed
146
00:09:33,799 –> 00:09:37,720
that security agencies are actively addressing the situation and stress
147
00:09:37,799 –> 00:09:41,480
that public cooperation is vital to maintaining peace and protecting
148
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:45,200
lives and property. He stressed the need for communities to
149
00:09:45,279 –> 00:09:51,000
comply with evacuation, relocation and related advice and processes. He
150
00:09:51,120 –> 00:09:54,120
hailed the safe return of two of the Kaduna victims.
151
00:09:54,519 –> 00:09:57,799
I urge our security agencies to be more proactive in
152
00:09:57,879 –> 00:10:02,279
preventing these attacks by acting on Earth warning intelligence. All
153
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:06,200
the remaining abductees from Khir Village must be rescued immediately,
154
00:10:06,559 –> 00:10:10,679
the President said, I commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plato
155
00:10:10,799 –> 00:10:13,919
State for his efforts in containing the situation in Joss
156
00:10:13,919 –> 00:10:17,559
and Governor Ubersani of Kaduna State for supporting the rescue
157
00:10:17,600 –> 00:10:21,399
and containment efforts. I assure the people and government of
158
00:10:21,440 –> 00:10:25,000
the two states of my support. I commiserate with the
159
00:10:25,039 –> 00:10:27,919
families of those killed and pray for the quick recovery
160
00:10:27,960 –> 00:10:32,360
of the injured. Our government is currently acquiring more sophisticated
161
00:10:32,360 –> 00:10:36,159
equipment to enable our security agencies to track and smash
162
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:41,879
criminals in real time wherever they are. Meanwhile, Vanguard newspaper
163
00:10:41,960 –> 00:10:46,679
reported on Tuesday that the United States Congressman Riley Moore
164
00:10:47,039 –> 00:10:51,080
warned yesterday that continued attacks on Christians in Nigeria could
165
00:10:51,080 –> 00:10:55,120
strain diplomatic relations with the US, following reports of a
166
00:10:55,240 –> 00:10:59,960
deadly palm Sunday killings in Jos, Plato State and Kaduna State.
167
00:11:00,879 –> 00:11:03,919
Recall that no fewer than forty persons were killed by
168
00:11:03,919 –> 00:11:07,159
gunmens suspected to be terrorists on Sunday night at anger
169
00:11:07,240 –> 00:11:10,919
Rakuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plato
170
00:11:11,039 –> 00:11:14,600
State and Cahir Village in Kagaco Local Government Area of
171
00:11:14,679 –> 00:11:19,000
Kaduna State. While twenty seven were killed at Rakuba community
172
00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:22,320
in Plato, thirteen wedding guests were mowed down by the
173
00:11:22,399 –> 00:11:27,159
attackers in Kaduna. The police in Plato, however, said only
174
00:11:27,240 –> 00:11:30,399
fourteen persons were killed in the attack that marred Palm
175
00:11:30,480 –> 00:11:34,000
Sunday in the community. Reacting to the killings, in a
176
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:37,399
post on x Yesterday, More condemned the reported killing of
177
00:11:37,480 –> 00:11:41,159
Christians in Angu and Racoba, describing the incident as part
178
00:11:41,200 –> 00:11:45,720
of a troubling pattern of violence targeting worshippers during religious observances.
179
00:11:46,480 –> 00:11:49,879
The congressman, who was part of a United States fact
180
00:11:49,919 –> 00:11:54,320
finding delegation on alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, added that
181
00:11:54,360 –> 00:11:58,799
such attacks had become frequent during Christian Holy Days, urging
182
00:11:58,960 –> 00:12:03,279
Nigerian authority to take decisive action to prevent further bloodshed.
183
00:12:03,639 –> 00:12:07,399
This Palm Sunday. Reports from Nigeria indicate that at least
184
00:12:07,399 –> 00:12:11,279
ten Christians were martyred in the city of Jos. Radical
185
00:12:11,320 –> 00:12:15,039
Islamic terrorists open fire on the Christians before hacking them
186
00:12:15,080 –> 00:12:19,480
to pieces with machetes. This is sickening and unacceptable, but
187
00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:23,399
it’s not surprising. This tragedy follows a pattern of radical
188
00:12:23,440 –> 00:12:28,960
Islamic terrorists massacring Christians on Holy Days. In fact, terrorists
189
00:12:28,960 –> 00:12:32,519
have attacked Christians in Nigeria on every single holy day
190
00:12:32,600 –> 00:12:36,440
in recent memory, except for last Christmas when President Trump
191
00:12:36,559 –> 00:12:40,519
sent twelve Tomahawk cruise missiles to stop them. He added
192
00:12:41,320 –> 00:12:44,679
more called on the federal government led by President Bola
193
00:12:44,759 –> 00:12:48,639
to Nubu to urgently strengthen security measures ahead of upcoming
194
00:12:48,679 –> 00:12:52,919
religious events. Abuja knows this pattern and they must massively
195
00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:56,519
ramp up security for the tradeuerm and Easter. If they
196
00:12:56,559 –> 00:12:59,840
don’t take this threat seriously and mobilized to defend our
197
00:12:59,840 –> 00:13:03,360
brothers and sisters in Christ, blood of these martyrs will
198
00:13:03,360 –> 00:13:06,480
be on their hands and there will be significant consequences
199
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:11,559
for Nigeria’s relationship with the United States, he warned. Meanwhile,
200
00:13:11,840 –> 00:13:14,759
the attackers of the Plateau community, said to be in
201
00:13:14,879 –> 00:13:18,960
large numbers, stormed the densely populated community at about seven
202
00:13:19,080 –> 00:13:22,440
thirty pm on Palm Sunday and opened a sporadic fire
203
00:13:22,519 –> 00:13:27,320
on residents, throwing the area into panic. Punch newspaper also
204
00:13:27,399 –> 00:13:31,240
reported that at least thirteen persons have been killed and
205
00:13:31,360 –> 00:13:35,120
several others abducted after suspected bandits attacked a wedding ceremony
206
00:13:35,159 –> 00:13:39,240
in Cahir Village, Kagaco local government area of Kaduna State.
207
00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:43,360
The incident, which occurred late Sunday night at about eleven
208
00:13:43,480 –> 00:13:47,879
forty seven pm, has triggered fresh fears over rising insecurity
209
00:13:47,960 –> 00:13:52,320
in rural communities across the state. Eyewitnesses said the gunmen,
210
00:13:52,639 –> 00:13:56,320
who arrived in large numbers and were armed with sophisticated weapons,
211
00:13:56,679 –> 00:14:00,279
stormed the wedding venue and opened fire indiscriminately on guests.
212
00:14:00,960 –> 00:14:04,639
A resident of the area, Chehu Bala, said the incident
213
00:14:04,720 –> 00:14:08,559
planned the community into chaos as guests scampered for safety.
214
00:14:09,320 –> 00:14:13,320
They came in large numbers and started shooting sporadically. People
215
00:14:13,360 –> 00:14:17,120
were running in different directions. Many were hit by bullets,
216
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:21,679
Bala said. He added that several victims sustained gunshot injuries
217
00:14:21,679 –> 00:14:24,879
and were rushed to the General Hospital in Kagago, while
218
00:14:24,879 –> 00:14:28,200
those in critical condition were referred to facilities in Kaduna
219
00:14:28,279 –> 00:14:32,519
for advanced medical attention. Bala further noted that the exact
220
00:14:32,600 –> 00:14:36,159
number of abducted persons could not be immediately ascertained due
221
00:14:36,159 –> 00:14:40,080
to the confusion that trailed the attack. A community leader
222
00:14:40,360 –> 00:14:44,279
who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the assailants operated
223
00:14:44,279 –> 00:14:48,039
for nearly one hour without any resistance from security forces.
224
00:14:48,799 –> 00:14:51,720
They attacked the wedding and later moved around the village,
225
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:55,840
looting shots and carting away food items, provisions, and even
226
00:14:55,840 –> 00:15:00,240
medical supplies, the source said. According to him, med any
227
00:15:00,279 –> 00:15:03,600
residents fled into nearby bushes as the sound of gunshots
228
00:15:03,639 –> 00:15:07,480
echoed throughout the community. It was gathered that the victims
229
00:15:07,480 –> 00:15:11,080
have since been buried, while efforts to establish contact with
230
00:15:11,120 –> 00:15:15,000
the abductors have not yielded results. He gave the names
231
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:18,080
of some of those killed as Baker Dan Jumma, Williams,
232
00:15:18,159 –> 00:15:24,679

00:15:30,919 –> 00:15:33,480

235
00:15:34,720 –> 00:15:40,519
Speaker 2: Little Kabu just murdered over ten people, innocent Christians on

00:21:39,720 –> 00:21:43,200
ask you yes, whether they keep people for Jos, people
330
00:21:43,200 –> 00:21:45,160
will be fast up to they get sense. They don’t
331
00:21:45,160 –> 00:21:46,160
they keep people for Joss.
332
00:21:46,319 –> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: Yes.
333
00:21:46,839 –> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 7: The question will ask the government is when does this stop?
334
00:21:49,960 –> 00:21:52,799
Speaker 5: If you have no right to breathe, what right do
335
00:21:52,920 –> 00:21:53,200
you have?
336
00:21:59,119 –> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: What people are? I think for elections and take the
337
00:22:01,599 –> 00:22:05,960
vans of Tanuku and everybody’s worrying you about APC, MEDP, LIBERD.
338
00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:07,839
Speaker 5: You are being killed.
339
00:22:09,440 –> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: At what point will the people care about life? Islam
340
00:22:13,119 –> 00:22:16,759
says that I should be arrested by DSS. They say,
341
00:22:16,839 –> 00:22:19,759
how can this person come here and speak? How can
342
00:22:19,839 –> 00:22:22,599
this person be allowed into Nigeria? Can I tell you
343
00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:24,640
The only reason I’m here is because you guys are
344
00:22:24,680 –> 00:22:27,880
being killed and right now, the Nigerian Christians do not
345
00:22:27,920 –> 00:22:31,519
have a voice. You are being silenced and you are
346
00:22:31,599 –> 00:22:35,240
expected to comply with injustice. But the Lord does not
347
00:22:35,440 –> 00:22:39,680
only reserve justice for heaven. Justice is not only reserved
348
00:22:39,720 –> 00:22:43,279
for when Jesus comes back. Yes, justice has called Christians
349
00:22:43,519 –> 00:22:48,240
to establish justice on this earth. Justice here and now. Yeah,
350
00:22:48,839 –> 00:22:50,200
not in five years.
351
00:22:51,640 –> 00:22:51,799
Speaker 3: Years?
352
00:22:54,640 –> 00:22:56,039
Speaker 7: If you have no right to live?
353
00:22:56,119 –> 00:22:56,519
Speaker 2: What right?
354
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: And how long would we tolerate this?
355
00:23:02,519 –> 00:23:03,319
Speaker 5: My heart is with you.
356
00:23:03,400 –> 00:23:04,079
Speaker 3: That’s why I’m here.
357
00:23:04,799 –> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: Yes, if there is no killing, if there is no.
358
00:23:06,799 –> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: Injustice, I wouldn’t.
359
00:23:07,680 –> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 5: Be speaking now.
360
00:23:09,440 –> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: It pains me and it’s shameful.
361
00:23:11,039 –> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: That I even have to speak, and they want me
362
00:23:15,039 –> 00:23:17,960
to be silent. They want me to not talk about
363
00:23:17,960 –> 00:23:21,559
what is happening. I would rather die than be silent.
364
00:23:21,880 –> 00:23:26,039
Speaker 8: Yes, I’m more.
365
00:23:28,000 –> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: I mean it’s disgusting. When I was there last night,
366
00:23:31,559 –> 00:23:33,680
there were roughly eleven or twelve bodies, and by the
367
00:23:33,720 –> 00:23:36,079
time we come here today, it’s almost triple. There’s thirty
368
00:23:36,160 –> 00:23:39,960
people that were killed, and it’s pure evil, and nobody’s
369
00:23:40,000 –> 00:23:42,759
coming to defend them. Nobody’s speaking out about how many
370
00:23:43,319 –> 00:23:46,359
absolutely evil was done by terrorists. They only care about
371
00:23:46,400 –> 00:23:48,720
if someone’s speaking the truth, if someone’s posting picius.
372
00:23:48,519 –> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: Someone’s there.
373
00:23:49,759 –> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: It’s just I don’t know how this can continue to
374
00:23:52,720 –> 00:23:56,279
be tolerated. It. I can’t even breathe in that room
375
00:23:56,519 –> 00:24:01,000
because the bodies corps is the news. Gosh, we just
376
00:24:01,039 –> 00:24:02,640
came for where where these people were killing.
377
00:24:02,880 –> 00:24:05,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had to walk on the weight they’re assuring.
