Speaker 1: Family of Stephen obum Neme and Wosu has accused the

2
00:00:03,359 –> 00:00:07,960
Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN, led by General Olafemi Oliadae,

3
00:00:08,400 –> 00:00:11,759
the Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, of attempted acts to

4
00:00:11,800 –> 00:00:14,839
cover up a soldier who allegedly murdered a young man,

5
00:00:15,160 –> 00:00:19,879
Stephen obum Nemmee and Wosu on February fourteen, twenty twenty six,

6
00:00:20,320 –> 00:00:24,719
Valentine’s Day along Beni Agbor Road around Amufi Junction in

7
00:00:24,920 –> 00:00:28,600
Edo State. This according to the family member, who pleaded

8
00:00:28,640 –> 00:00:31,079
for her names not to be mentioned in the press,

9
00:00:31,519 –> 00:00:34,039
said her brother was shot dead by the soldier after

10
00:00:34,079 –> 00:00:36,799
the deceased refused to hand over his car key to

11
00:00:36,880 –> 00:00:40,479
the soldier as demanded, saying her brother only went out

12
00:00:40,520 –> 00:00:44,000
with his friend she identified as Godwin Coco to get

13
00:00:44,079 –> 00:00:47,159
chicken feed when they encountered the soldier at the failed

14
00:00:47,200 –> 00:00:50,840
portion of the road that is currently under construction, saying

15
00:00:51,240 –> 00:00:54,399
the Nigerian Army has refused to disclose the names of

16
00:00:54,479 –> 00:00:57,560
the soldier who allegedly committed the act of murder or

17
00:00:57,640 –> 00:01:01,759
take appropriate lawful actions against the suspected murderer and in

18
00:01:01,799 –> 00:01:05,920
a swift reaction when our reporter contacted the public Relations

19
00:01:06,079 –> 00:01:10,200
Officer of four Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Captain Kennedy

20
00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:14,079
and Yan muvaa phone call on Thursday evening. The military

21
00:01:14,120 –> 00:01:17,000
authority said it is not true that the soldier in

22
00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:21,680
question has not been identified, saying the matter has been settled,

23
00:01:21,879 –> 00:01:24,920
and when our reporter demanded to know how the alleged

24
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:28,640
murder case was settled with the family, the military authority

25
00:01:28,680 –> 00:01:32,719
refused to give details. Also, when our reporter contacted the

26
00:01:32,879 –> 00:01:36,879
Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police Forced Public Relations

27
00:01:36,879 –> 00:01:41,319
Officer asp no Acodium, the police authority said the matter

28
00:01:41,439 –> 00:01:44,480
is under investigation and there is no way such matter

29
00:01:44,519 –> 00:01:48,159
can be swept under the carpet. According to the bereaved

30
00:01:48,200 –> 00:01:51,879
family member, on the fourteenth of February twenty twenty six,

31
00:01:51,959 –> 00:01:55,319
at about ten a m my brother, Stephen Ovum Neme

32
00:01:55,480 –> 00:01:58,200
and Wosu went to get chicken feed with his friend

33
00:01:58,640 –> 00:02:01,959
Godwin Coco along the bi Uine Agbor Express Road, the

34
00:02:02,040 –> 00:02:06,159
failed portion that is under construction at Amuphi junction in Benin, Citi,

35
00:02:06,319 –> 00:02:10,400
Edo State. Specifically, the friends said they were discussing and

36
00:02:10,479 –> 00:02:13,560
did not see the road demarcation on time and when

37
00:02:13,560 –> 00:02:16,240
they sighted it and were about to reverse. A soldier

38
00:02:16,280 –> 00:02:18,719
blocked them and told them to hand over the car key,

39
00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:20,840
but they told him that they are sorry and will

40
00:02:20,879 –> 00:02:25,520
turn back, so immediately he started turning the car. That

41
00:02:25,680 –> 00:02:28,759
got the soldier angry and the soldier started following him.

42
00:02:29,560 –> 00:02:32,599
My brother reversed the car and joined the other lane,

43
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:35,560
and from the side mirror, my brother noticed that the

44
00:02:35,599 –> 00:02:38,599
soldier was running towards them. At this time, they were

45
00:02:38,599 –> 00:02:41,080
two on a bike, but one left while the soldier

46
00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:43,800
that they had the conversation with was still following them

47
00:02:43,800 –> 00:02:47,400
with the bike man. At this point, he started using

48
00:02:47,439 –> 00:02:49,919
his belt on the car and even shot at the car,

49
00:02:50,599 –> 00:02:53,159
but my brother and his friend were still driving, and

50
00:02:53,240 –> 00:02:55,639
when they got to hold up, they packed at a

51
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:59,759
fuel station and started running by foot. While they were running,

52
00:03:00,120 –> 00:03:02,599
the soldier fired shots at them, and the bullet landed

53
00:03:02,639 –> 00:03:06,240
on my brother’s leg, and on a closed range, the

54
00:03:06,319 –> 00:03:09,800
soldier shot him again on the same leg. People around

55
00:03:09,879 –> 00:03:12,439
said that when the soldier shot my brother again at

56
00:03:12,439 –> 00:03:15,960
close range, they gathered him, but the soldier told them

57
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:18,159
that the boy he shot was a robber, so they

58
00:03:18,159 –> 00:03:21,400
did not touch the soldier man. The soldier was the

59
00:03:21,479 –> 00:03:24,280
same person that carried the victim to the hospital. But

60
00:03:24,400 –> 00:03:27,719
the hospital they mentioned. When we went there, the doctor

61
00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:31,080
said he had no such patient. We the family wants

62
00:03:31,159 –> 00:03:33,520
to hear the soldier’s side of the story and who

63
00:03:33,560 –> 00:03:36,120
sent him to murder that young man with bright future,

64
00:03:36,520 –> 00:03:39,159
with a pregnant wife and a two years old child,

65
00:03:39,199 –> 00:03:42,919
and his aged mother, the only male child in my family,

66
00:03:43,319 –> 00:03:46,360
the only one that speaks for us. We are fine, girls.

67
00:03:46,680 –> 00:03:49,759
This is too painful for us. We all died that

68
00:03:49,919 –> 00:03:52,840
same day. Don’t know if we can bear this Lassou.

69
00:03:53,639 –> 00:03:57,240
We just want to get the soldiers name Barrick he

70
00:03:57,439 –> 00:04:01,400
is from. Indeed, Nigeria has happened to us. We had

71
00:04:01,439 –> 00:04:04,360
access to see his body on the fifteenth of February

72
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:07,840
twenty twenty six. I think there are many stories about this,

73
00:04:07,960 –> 00:04:10,719
one which only the soldier and police needs to give.

74
00:04:11,520 –> 00:04:14,840
I need justice for my brother. That same mortuary that

75
00:04:14,879 –> 00:04:18,079
the police said we can’t visit that the fourteenth of February.

76
00:04:18,480 –> 00:04:21,720
I have visited it many times since that fifteenth. They

77
00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:25,199
showed us the place. So much evil is happening with

78
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:28,720
our security offices. A guy with the two years old

79
00:04:28,800 –> 00:04:32,199
child and a pregnant wife just three years in marriage.

80
00:04:32,439 –> 00:04:35,519
What should I explain to his wife, a lot is

81
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:45,480
going on under the military uniforms. Guini, Heado State Command

82
00:04:45,519 –> 00:04:49,319
of the Nigeria Police Force NPF, has announced the arrest

83
00:04:49,399 –> 00:04:52,920
of some serving and already dismissed police officers who work

84
00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:56,199
together as a criminal gang terrorizing members of the public

85
00:04:56,240 –> 00:05:00,439
in Edo State. The State Commissioner of Police, Monday hat Bernica,

86
00:05:00,519 –> 00:05:03,399
who made this known in a press release made available

87
00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:06,160
a few hours ago, said the arrest was a major

88
00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:10,199
breakthrough against the suspected criminal elements pretending to be law

89
00:05:10,399 –> 00:05:14,720
enforcement offices to perpetrate heinous crimes within the state capitol,

90
00:05:15,160 –> 00:05:18,240
Benin City and its environs. It may be recalled that

91
00:05:18,279 –> 00:05:21,240
there have been outcry by residents in Edo State that

92
00:05:21,319 –> 00:05:26,120
law enforcement officers are committing or participating in criminal activities

93
00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:30,160
in the state. Specifically, in August twenty twenty five, some

94
00:05:30,240 –> 00:05:33,800
of policemen alongside some civilians were accused of abducting a

95
00:05:33,839 –> 00:05:36,920
resident in Benin City. The syndicate was said to have

96
00:05:37,040 –> 00:05:41,079
used the silver Toyota Yaris to terrorisee citizens, seizing their

97
00:05:41,120 –> 00:05:45,120
phones and belongings through intimidation and armed robbery. In December

98
00:05:45,160 –> 00:05:49,120
twenty twenty five, four policemen were accused of extorting nine

99
00:05:49,199 –> 00:05:53,399
hundred eighty thousand niras from a local artisan goodness on

100
00:05:53,519 –> 00:05:57,759
Jeka after assaulting him earlier. In September twenty twenty five,

00:05:58,240 –> 00:06:00,959
the Edo State Police Commander of bar tartedly recovered and

102
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:05,560
returned three hundred thousand niras extorted from a furniture maker

103
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:10,040
by offices attached to the Obermarket Area Command in Benin City.

104
00:06:10,439 –> 00:06:14,839
May twenty twenty five, six offices, including a Chief Superintendent

105
00:06:14,920 –> 00:06:19,000
of Police CSP, were summoned to Abuja after a viral

106
00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:23,519
video showed them demanding either five thousand niras or five

107
00:06:23,639 –> 00:06:27,759

109
00:06:33,399 –> 00:06:37,279
Also in August twenty twenty five, six offices were disciplined

110
00:06:37,319 –> 00:06:40,639
for extorting two million niras from members of the National

111
00:06:40,720 –> 00:06:44,560
Association of Sea Dogs near Benin City after they reportedly

112
00:06:44,720 –> 00:06:48,759
used the point of sale POS machine to withdraw the

113
00:06:48,800 –> 00:06:52,680
funds unlawfully. According to the press statement signed by the

114
00:06:52,920 –> 00:06:58,439
Edo State Police Command Public Relations Officer Aspeno Acoding, the

115
00:06:58,639 –> 00:07:02,000
Edo State Police Command under the leadership of the Commissioner

116
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:07,519
of Police Heado’s State Command, CP. Monday Agbonica FDC wishes

117
00:07:07,560 –> 00:07:10,240
to inform the general public of a major breakthrough in

118
00:07:10,279 –> 00:07:14,319
the fight against criminal elements disguising as law enforcement offices

119
00:07:14,360 –> 00:07:18,160
to perpetrate heinous crimes within Benin City and its environs.

120
00:07:18,920 –> 00:07:23,079
The Command had in recent times received several complaints from

121
00:07:23,079 –> 00:07:27,199
members of the public alleging harassment, abduction and extortion by

122
00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:32,399
individuals posing as police officers. These suspects reportedly operate along

123
00:07:32,439 –> 00:07:37,360
Teburger Axis off Aduawa, where they unlawfully stop unsuspecting citizens,

124
00:07:37,800 –> 00:07:41,759
forcefully convey them around various roads within Benin City, and

125
00:07:41,839 –> 00:07:45,279
eventually take them to point of sale POS operators to

126
00:07:45,319 –> 00:07:49,600
fraudulently extort money from them under duress. Disturbed by the

127
00:07:49,639 –> 00:07:54,199
gravity of these allegations, the Commissioner of Police CP. Monday

128
00:07:54,240 –> 00:07:59,639
Agbonica FDC immediately ordered a discreet and intelligence driven investigation

129
00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:05,439
into the matter. Through sustained surveillance, technical intelligence and coordinated

130
00:08:05,480 –> 00:08:09,199
operations by operatives of the Command, the criminal network was

131
00:08:09,240 –> 00:08:13,759
successfully busted. The following suspects have been arrested in connection

137
00:08:44,559 –> 00:08:49,000
reveals that the suspects, including some serving and dismissed police personnel,

138
00:08:49,480 –> 00:08:53,240
formed a well organized criminal syndicate responsible for a series

139
00:08:53,279 –> 00:08:57,360
of serious crimes, including abduction and extortion of innocent citizens.

140
00:08:58,159 –> 00:09:02,120
They exploited police accute truments to deceive victims and carried

141
00:09:02,120 –> 00:09:05,720
out their operations with impunity, thereby bringing the name of

142
00:09:05,759 –> 00:09:09,960
the Nigeria Police Force into disrepute. Those that are serving

143
00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:15,720
personnel are currently undergoing internal disciplinary procedures, including orderly room trials.

144
00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:20,840
Upon conclusion of these processes and the ongoing investigation, they

145
00:09:20,879 –> 00:09:23,799
will be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction to

146

face the full weight of the law. The Command hereby

147
00:09:27,320 –> 00:09:30,360
calls on all victims who may have encountered or fallen

148
00:09:30,440 –> 00:09:33,360
prey to this organized criminal gang to come forward and

149
00:09:33,399 –> 00:09:36,679
assist the police with useful information that will aid further

150
00:09:36,759 –> 00:09:42,200
investigation and prosecution. Furthermore, the Edo State Police Command uses

151
00:09:42,240 –> 00:09:46,240
this medium to strongly warn or POS operators and merchants

152
00:09:46,279 –> 00:09:50,600
to be wary of any individual, including persons in police uniform,

153
00:09:50,720 –> 00:09:54,759
who attempt to use their facilities for unlawful transactions or extortion.

154

00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:20,679
large scale combat actions between fourth to the sixth of

172
00:11:20,759 –> 00:11:23,759
March twenty twenty six against the men of the Armed

173
00:11:23,799 –> 00:11:29,000
Forces of Nigeria AFN overran the Africa Country Military base

174
00:11:29,039 –> 00:11:33,440
of Engosh, killing several soldiers, a figure the Nigeria authority

175
00:11:33,559 –> 00:11:37,279
disputed to be fourteen after several reports indicated that more

176
00:11:37,360 –> 00:11:40,799
than forty soldiers were killed during the attack, in addition

177
00:11:40,879 –> 00:11:44,320
to more than one hundred civilians, including Chief Imman of

178
00:11:44,519 –> 00:11:48,399
Ingosh alongside the community elders killed during the co ordinated

179
00:11:48,440 –> 00:11:52,240
attacks that lasted days of Ngosh community in Guosa local

180
00:11:52,320 –> 00:11:56,960
Government Area of Borno State. This During the attacks, numbers

181
00:11:56,960 –> 00:12:00,519
of people were also taken hostage by the insurgents, with

182
00:12:00,639 –> 00:12:04,679
speculations indicating that the hostages were apparently being held at

183
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:07,919
the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, which sit wide

184
00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:11,799
across the Nigeria border with Cameroon. That aside, one of

185
00:12:11,840 –> 00:12:15,440
the spokespersons of the Boko Harum group said they decided

186
00:12:15,480 –> 00:12:18,000
to release a proof of life video of the four

187
00:12:18,120 –> 00:12:21,960
hundred and sixteen women and children in their captivity following

188
00:12:22,000 –> 00:12:24,720
the demands made across to them by the Borno South

189
00:12:24,799 –> 00:12:28,559
Youths Alliance BOSSIA and according to the statement issued by

190
00:12:28,600 –> 00:12:32,000
the BOSSIA when they made the video public on Friday,

191
00:12:32,159 –> 00:12:35,960
April tenth, twenty twenty six, the youth’s group called on

192
00:12:36,120 –> 00:12:39,559
federal government and governments at all level to ensure the

193
00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:44,000
hostages are released, saying specifically that we have witness cases

194
00:12:44,039 –> 00:12:48,279
in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kebbi Ware

195
00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:53,720
abducted victims regained freedom following interventions by individuals such as

196
00:12:53,799 –> 00:12:57,879
Shaikh Ahmed Gumi. We therefore expect equal urgency and commitment

197
00:12:57,919 –> 00:13:01,320
in addressing the plight of being gosh victims. No region

198
00:13:01,399 –> 00:13:04,360
or group of citizens should be treated with less priority.

199
00:13:05,120 –> 00:13:08,480
In the footage, several women and elderly men were interviewed

200
00:13:08,480 –> 00:13:13,080
by the Boko Haram spokesperson. The kidnapped victims please centered

201
00:13:13,159 –> 00:13:17,039
on three main points directly addressed to President Bola Tanubu,

202
00:13:17,320 –> 00:13:21,559
Vice President Kashim Shatima and Governor Babigala Zulam, begging the

203
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:24,000
President and Governor to find a way to bring them

204
00:13:24,000 –> 00:13:28,360
home within the shortest possible time. The captives expressed fear

205
00:13:28,440 –> 00:13:31,000
that a direct military assault on the camp where they

206
00:13:31,039 –> 00:13:34,519
are being held could result in the deaths. They echoed

207
00:13:34,519 –> 00:13:38,080
the bossier apparent sentiment asking the government to use the

208
00:13:38,159 –> 00:13:43,639
same negotiation channels used in northern states like Zamfara, Katsina, Kevi,

209
00:13:44,080 –> 00:13:48,120
Sokoto and Kaduna states. While the terrorists claimed in the

210
00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:51,279
video that they are not torturing the victims, the captives

211
00:13:51,360 –> 00:13:53,879
highlighted that many children are falling ill due to the

212
00:13:53,919 –> 00:13:56,639
harsh conditions of the forest and the lack of proper

213
00:13:56,720 –> 00:14:01,399
food and medicine. The Borno South Youth Phalia Bossier, in

214
00:14:01,440 –> 00:14:05,320
a statement signed by its president Samila Ibrahem Kaigammer and

215
00:14:05,559 –> 00:14:09,000
made available on Friday alongside the Proof of Life video,

216
00:14:09,519 –> 00:14:12,120
said it wishes to inform the public that we have

217
00:14:12,240 –> 00:14:15,240
been actively and discreetly mediating for the release of our

218
00:14:15,279 –> 00:14:19,000
Southern Borno brothers and sisters who were abducted when insurgents

219
00:14:19,039 –> 00:14:25,320
over anning Gosh. Following days of engagement, discussions and humanitarian appeals,

220
00:14:25,759 –> 00:14:28,399
we were provided with an official figure of four hundred

221
00:14:28,440 –> 00:14:32,320
and sixteen victims currently alive in captivity by the abductors.

222
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:36,799
This figure differs from earlier reports circulated by sections of

223
00:14:36,879 –> 00:14:40,519
the media which underestimated the true scale of the situation.

224
00:14:41,399 –> 00:14:45,039
Bossier remains the voice of Southern Borno youths and Inda genes.

225
00:14:45,440 –> 00:14:49,039
As such, we are committed to continuing all possible efforts

226
00:14:49,080 –> 00:14:53,480
through mediation, advocacy and engagement to secure the safe release

227
00:14:53,519 –> 00:14:56,919
of our people. Our actions are guided solely by the

228
00:14:57,000 –> 00:15:01,399
need to protect lifes and restore dignity to affected families.

229
00:15:01,679 –> 00:15:04,799
We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that Bossia does

230
00:15:04,840 –> 00:15:10,759
not support terrorism, insurgency or the abduction of innocent civilians. However,

231
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:14,600
as representatives of our people, we are prepared to take

232
00:15:14,639 –> 00:15:19,200
bold and necessary steps in pursuit of solutions, especially lasting solutions,

233
00:15:19,240 –> 00:15:23,320
to the persistent insecurity affecting our region. The voices of

234
00:15:23,399 –> 00:15:27,399
the kidnapped victims must be heard, not just nationally, but globally.

235
00:15:28,120 –> 00:15:31,159
We therefore call on the following leaders and authorities to

236
00:15:31,320 –> 00:15:35,240
urgently intervene. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

237
00:15:35,519 –> 00:15:39,960
Bola Ahmed to Nubu, Asswaju bolah Ahmed t Nubu, the

238
00:15:40,039 –> 00:15:45,440
Vice President Kashim Shatima, Kashim Shatima, the Distinguished Senator representing

239
00:15:45,519 –> 00:15:50,360
Southern Borno Mohammad Ali in Dume, all relevant government officials

240
00:15:50,360 –> 00:15:54,159
and stakeholders at both federal and state levels. We have

241
00:15:54,279 –> 00:15:59,240
witnessed cases in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and

242
00:15:59,320 –> 00:16:04,000
keb Ware abducted victims regained freedom following interventions by individuals

243
00:16:04,039 –> 00:16:08,440
such as Shaikhamed Gumi. We therefore expect equal urgency and

244
00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:12,320
commitment in addressing the plight of the ngosh victims. No

245
00:16:12,519 –> 00:16:16,000
region or group of citizens should be treated with less priority.

246
00:16:16,759 –> 00:16:20,559
The freedom, safety and well being of the abducted victims

247
00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:24,879
from Woza, particularly those from Ngosha, non negotiable. We urge

248
00:16:24,879 –> 00:16:27,960
the government to act decisively, just as they have been

249
00:16:28,000 –> 00:16:31,799
doing in other parts of the country. Furthermore, we call

250
00:16:31,840 –> 00:16:36,840
on the Nigerian government, international partners, the United Nations, and

251
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:40,399
global leaders including Donald Trump, to support efforts toward the

252
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:44,399
safe and immediate release of all abducted victims, among them

253
00:16:44,399 –> 00:16:49,840
the vulnerable groups including infants, young children, elderly individuals and

254
00:16:49,919 –> 00:16:53,879
women in extremely fragile conditions. Let it be known to

255
00:16:53,919 –> 00:16:57,360
the world that Bossier is actively mediating and advocating for

256
00:16:57,399 –> 00:17:01,960
the release of Southern Borno indigenes held. We also call

257
00:17:02,039 –> 00:17:05,359
on both the Nigerian government and the Borno State Government

258
00:17:05,440 –> 00:17:10,880
to demonstrate visible and measurable efforts in securing their freedom.

259
00:17:10,920 –> 00:17:16,240
