#Issues #Dss #facebook #Jonathan #Sowore #Tinubu #X ©September 17th, 2025 ®September 17, 2025 2:27 pm It may be true that there are certain things people do to others, they may not take the same from anyone, this assertion appeared to have come into play in the current administration of Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who in the era of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan apparently used spin logic to always make false statements, incite the public against the government, destroy the reputation and personality of the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as you may know, spin logic in communication is a Public Relations campaign strategy that uses deliberate biased or misleading interpretations of events and information to influence public perception, in one of the viral videos between 2012 and 2014 in the history of politics in Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was then a Chieftain of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and later All Progressives Congress, APC, allegedly told a gathering of thousands of people that the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should face death or starve to death, directly or indirectly saying that the then President Jonathan did not care about the wellbeing of his people, till date, Tinubu has not shown any evidence to back up his claim that “the people are hungry, President Jonathan said they should face death”, and in some occasions, Tinubu called on the police not to attack protesters, specifically, on November 29, 2013, Tinubu tweeted via Tweeter now X social media platform that: “Police, Do not attack protesters, Your children are involved, Your lives are involved, Your Children’s future lie here”, and urged millions of Nigerians to protest peacefully against the Jonathan led government and in one of the protests, ‘Occupy Naija’ allegedly sponsored by Bola Ahmed Tinubu according to Reno Omokri who was then a media spokesperson to Jonathan, the then President Jonathan’s photo was placed on a coffin as a dead man and the coffin was labelled R.I.P meaning Rest In Peace, also, in February 2011 as reported by Nigeria media, Tinubu described the then-President Goodluck Jonathan as a ‘drunkard-sinking fisherman’ a word that appears to falsely described the then President Jonathan as a man that always take too much of alcohol to the extent of losing control of his behaviour, but, under the same Tinubu who is now the President of Nigeria, the State Security Service, SSS also known as the Department of State Service, DSS has filed a court case against Facebook and X social media companies over a post published separately on August 25 and 26 2025 by a well known human rights activist and anti government critic, Omoyele Sowore and his online media, SaharaReporters, and in the five count charges, the DSS accused Omoyele Sowore of making defamatory or false statements against the person of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for describing the president as a criminal after the president allegedly said there is no more corruption in Nigeria, in the legal battle, Omoyele Sowore has also gone to court to stop Facebook, X social media from deleting his posts and sued the DSS for unconstitutional media censorship. #OsazuwaAkonedo

#Issues #Dss #Sowore #Tinubu ©September 13th, 2025 ®September 13, 2025 5:37 pm As people of Nepal in South Asia country took to the streets in an unprecedented manner to protest an end to corruption and bad leadership in the country during the week after a short-lived ban on social media by the Nepalese government, Nigeria secret police known as Department of State Security Services, DSS appeared to have doubled efforts apparently to avert the unpleasant Nepal situation in the West Africa country, a situation where some politicians in the South Asia country tasted the bitter side of their citizens like never before, this, the DSS has appeared to be on the neck of X social media management to ensure the deletion of a post tweeted by the founder of SaharaReporters news media and a well known anti government critic, Omoyele Sowore that allegedly described the Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a criminal, a statement Sowore made in reaction to the words of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over corruption in Nigeria while the President was on official visit in Brazil, the DSS said Sowore misrepresented the President statement and as such, the supporters of the President are not happy over it, hence, the Security Service demanded a retracted publication from Omoyele Sowore, but, in a swift reaction, Omoyele declined and accused the DSS of always acting illegally.

#Nigeria Police Force #Delta #Hundeyin #Lagos #Olumuyiwa #Police ©September 4th, 2025 ®September 4, 2025 7:19 pm
Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has officially announced the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin as the new Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, after him, the former Police Force Spokesperson was promoted, reassigned and redeployed to Delta State as the Deputy Commissioner of Police incharge of Operations, a sensitive position that has generated massive reactions from members of the public, especially those who widely believed that DCP Olumuyiwa used his office as Force spokesperson to suppress freedom of speech by arresting and detaining people on grounds of alleged cyber talking and violence instigation against the Nigeria Police Force, while, many accused him of abandoning the main security challenges affecting Nigeria, and created more time for himself to be reading through comment sections on social media to harass innocent young Nigerians over mere comments, and the new posting may offer DCP Olumuyiwa the opportunity to always lead a team of combat joint security Squads to battle fields where he may have direct contact with some of the deadly and well armed gunmen in the South-South and South-East geopolitical zones, like, he’s expected to lead offensive and defensive operations against militants and armed robbers who have killed several policemen, sometimes in mass numbers in recent years in the Oil rich Delta State where his new job function required him as the police field combat commander of the state to develop combat strategies to address cases of oil bunkering, kidnapping and more strategies to confront and push back Biafra secessionist armed groups widely believed have good positions and camps in Delta State. #OsazuwaAkonedo

Speaker 1: President Donald Trump of the United States US has announced
2
00:00:04,200 –> 00:00:06,679
plans to meet one on one with the President of
3
00:00:06,799 –> 00:00:11,400
China she Jimping at Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC meeting
4
00:00:11,439 –> 00:00:15,400
coming this November in South Korea, and according to President Trump,
5
00:00:15,640 –> 00:00:18,160
he had a phone call with President Sheet to also
6
00:00:18,239 –> 00:00:20,879
pay a state visit to China early next year to
7
00:00:20,920 –> 00:00:24,480
discuss and find a possible solution to end Russia Ukraine
8
00:00:24,519 –> 00:00:27,280
War and the U S issue with the Chinese owned
9
00:00:27,359 –> 00:00:31,280
social networking company TikTok that may face complete ban in
10
00:00:31,320 –> 00:00:35,240
the United States if agreement is not reached on December sixteen,
11
00:00:35,439 –> 00:00:39,520
twenty twenty five. That aside, the United States government is
12
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:43,600
currently being considered as a pseudo practitioner of free trade
13
00:00:43,640 –> 00:00:47,840
and free speech and freedom of association. Some observers accused
14
00:00:47,960 –> 00:00:51,399
U S government of monopoly in the technology industry that
15
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:55,079
it wants to remain superior in the social networking business. Hence,
16
00:00:55,159 –> 00:00:58,960
the U S Government is demanding to own and control TikTok,
17
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:02,719
trying to use all manners of manipulative and deceptive ways
18
00:01:02,799 –> 00:01:05,640
to force by dance to sell TikTok to Oracle and
19
00:01:05,719 –> 00:01:09,719
silver Lake, among others. Because of China government alleged control
20
00:01:09,799 –> 00:01:13,439
of TikTok algorithm and also allegedly having access to the
21
00:01:13,519 –> 00:01:16,799
data of US uses, interesting as it may be in
22
00:01:16,879 –> 00:01:20,439
the aspect of trying to apparently abuse freedom of association.
23
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:25,040
United States government under President Donald Trump has revoked and
24
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:30,000
denied visa to Palestinian President Mamoodabis and eighty other Palestinian
25
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:33,319
authorities inider for them probably not being able to attend
26
00:01:33,359 –> 00:01:36,879
the United Nations General Assembly meeting to speak out their
27
00:01:36,959 –> 00:01:41,079
minds against israel war in Gaza and other Palestinian territory,
28
00:01:41,359 –> 00:01:44,439
but other world leaders on Friday, in a vote of
29
00:01:44,519 –> 00:01:48,120
one hundred and forty five against five, permitted the Palestinian
30
00:01:48,159 –> 00:01:52,480
President Mamoodabbis to address the World Assembly via video call
31
00:01:52,599 –> 00:01:56,000
next week. China is one of the biggest economies in
32
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:59,159
the world, has been on loggerhead with its major trade rival,
33
00:01:59,519 –> 00:02:03,000
the United States since twenty eighteen during the first tenure
34
00:02:03,040 –> 00:02:06,280
of President Donald Trump, and its loggerhead with US has
35
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:10,360
probably made China to maintain a strategic pro Russian position
36
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:14,439
on the war in Ukraine, publicly claiming neutrality while allegedly
37
00:02:14,479 –> 00:02:19,840
providing essential economic and diplomatic support to Moscow. Reports indicated
38
00:02:19,879 –> 00:02:23,280
that Chinese officials privately admit that a Russian defeat would
39
00:02:23,319 –> 00:02:27,639
not serve Beijing’s interests, which center on its geopolitical rivalry
40
00:02:27,680 –> 00:02:33,080
with the United States. Also China’s state controlled media Shinwan
41
00:02:33,199 –> 00:02:38,199
News Agency, People’s Daily, China Central Television, which include China
42
00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:43,639
Global Television, China National Radio CNR, and China Radio International CREE,
43
00:02:44,039 –> 00:02:47,479
some of them always using the prominent social networking platform
44
00:02:47,560 –> 00:02:51,360
in China, the Waibo social media are frequently and apparently
45
00:02:51,439 –> 00:02:55,599
always amplifying Russian talking points, such as blaming and accusing
46
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:59,879
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO of expansionist agenda and
47
00:03:00,039 –> 00:03:03,240
the U S for allegedly creating the conflict between Russia
48
00:03:03,240 –> 00:03:07,639
and Ukraine. On TikTok. As of September twenty twenty five,
49
00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:11,400
TikTok continues to operate in the US, while its owner,
50
00:03:11,680 –> 00:03:15,400
by Dance, negotiates a deal with American buyers to avoid
51
00:03:15,400 –> 00:03:19,240
a van. The social networking app, which has since become
52
00:03:19,319 –> 00:03:22,240
one of the most used social media platforms in the
53
00:03:22,280 –> 00:03:25,919
world due to its favorable algorithm that challenged older existing
54
00:03:26,039 –> 00:03:30,439
social media platforms for low distribution of users contents, was
55
00:03:30,520 –> 00:03:34,680
temporarily inaccessible in January twenty twenty five following a Supreme
56
00:03:34,800 –> 00:03:38,479
Court ruling, but was restored after President Donald Trump delayed
57
00:03:38,479 –> 00:03:42,280
the ban. A key deadline is set for December sixteenth,
58
00:03:42,360 –> 00:03:46,759
twenty twenty five, for a sale to be finalized. According
59
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:50,560
to a close watcher, TikTok’s U S operations be severed
60
00:03:50,560 –> 00:03:54,240
from Chinese ownership. The Pecurium opinion position the case as
61
00:03:54,319 –> 00:03:59,479
one of new technologies with transformative capabilities. In truth, the
62
00:03:59,560 –> 00:04:02,879
case and the law it was ruling on represents more
63
00:04:03,639 –> 00:04:07,960
than that, regardless of how the implementation unfolds. The legal
64
00:04:08,039 –> 00:04:11,680
van on Chinese ownership of social media apps operating in
65
00:04:11,719 –> 00:04:14,639
the United States is an inflection point in the U
66
00:04:14,719 –> 00:04:19,399
S China tech rivalry, with implications that extend beyond national security,
67
00:04:19,759 –> 00:04:24,000
data privacy, and the First Amendment. It signals a broader
68
00:04:24,120 –> 00:04:28,480
U S strategy to counter China’s technological influence across industries
69
00:04:28,720 –> 00:04:34,600
like semiconductors, artificial intelligence AI, electric vehicles, and five G.
70
00:04:35,480 –> 00:04:38,120
We learned that a framework deal has been reached that
71
00:04:38,199 –> 00:04:41,800
would give American investors control of eighty percent of tik Tok,
72
00:04:42,199 –> 00:04:47,639
with Chinese firms retaining twenty percent ownership. Proposed buyers include Oracle,
73
00:04:47,959 –> 00:04:51,279
which already host tik Tok’s U S data and private
74
00:04:51,279 –> 00:04:54,920
equity firms like silver Lake, it would be recalled that.
75
00:04:54,959 –> 00:04:58,399
In April twenty twenty four, the U S. Congress pastor
76
00:04:58,439 –> 00:05:02,800
bipartisan law and by then President Joe Biden that requires
77
00:05:02,879 –> 00:05:07,199
Chinese parent company by Dance to divest TikTok’s US operations
78
00:05:07,279 –> 00:05:10,920
or face a nationwide ban. The law was prompted by
79
00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:15,680
national security concerns over potential Chinese government access to American
80
00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:20,920
uses data and its ability to influence the platform’s algorithm. Wikipedia,
81
00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:23,480
in the summary of the China U S Trade War,
82
00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:27,879
indicated that an economic conflict between China and the United
83
00:05:27,879 –> 00:05:31,879
States has been ongoing since January twenty eighteen, when U
84
00:05:31,920 –> 00:05:35,560
S President Donald Trump began imposing tariffs and other trade
85
00:05:35,600 –> 00:05:38,240
barriers on China with the aim of forcing it to
86
00:05:38,279 –> 00:05:41,199
make changes to what the US has said along standing
87
00:05:41,319 –> 00:05:46,040
unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft. The first Trump
88
00:05:46,079 –> 00:05:49,800
administration stated that these practices may contribute to the U
89
00:05:49,879 –> 00:05:53,519
S China trade deficit and that the Chinese government requires
90
00:05:53,560 –> 00:05:57,600
the transfer of American technology to China. In response to
91
00:05:57,639 –> 00:06:03,120
the trade measures, CCP Secretary Shi Jinping’s administration accused the
92
00:06:03,160 –> 00:06:07,959
Trump administration of engaging in nationalist protectionism and took retaliatory action.
93
00:06:08,879 –> 00:06:12,879
Following the trade war’s escalation through twenty nineteen, the two
94
00:06:13,040 –> 00:06:17,839
sides reached a tense Phase one agreement in January twenty twenty. However,
95
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:21,199
a temporary collapse in goods trade around the globe during
96
00:06:21,240 –> 00:06:25,120
the COVID nineteen pandemic, together with a short recession, diminished
97
00:06:25,160 –> 00:06:28,160
the chance of meeting the target. China failed to buy
98
00:06:28,199 –> 00:06:31,959
the two hundred billion dollars worth of additional imports specified
99
00:06:31,959 –> 00:06:35,600
as part of it. By the end of Trump’s first presidency,
100
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:39,800
the trade war was widely characterized by American media outlets
101
00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:43,759
as a failure for the United States. The Biden administration
102
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:46,920
kept the tariffs in place and added additional levies on
103
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:51,240
Chinese goods such as electric vehicles and solar panels. In
104
00:06:51,319 –> 00:06:55,560
twenty twenty four, the Trump presidential campaign proposed a sixty
105
00:06:55,600 –> 00:07:00,000
percent tariff on Chinese goods. Twenty twenty five marked as
106
00:07:00,079 –> 00:07:04,079
significant escalation of the conflict. Under the second Trump administration,
107
00:07:04,959 –> 00:07:08,279
a series of increasing tariffs led to the US imposing
108
00:07:08,279 –> 00:07:11,480
a one hundred and forty five percent tariff on Chinese
109
00:07:11,560 –> 00:07:14,800
goods and China imposing a one hundred and twenty five
110
00:07:14,839 –> 00:07:18,680
percent tariff on American goods in response. These measures of
111
00:07:18,720 –> 00:07:21,759
forecast to cause a zero point two percent loss of
112
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:27,240
global merchandise trade. Despite this, both countries have excluded certain
113
00:07:27,279 –> 00:07:30,160
items from their tariff lists and continued to try and
114
00:07:30,279 –> 00:07:33,839
find a resolution to the trade war. In a statement
115
00:07:33,920 –> 00:07:38,000
through his Truth social media network on Friday, President Trump
116
00:07:38,040 –> 00:07:41,439
said in quotes that I just completed a very productive
117
00:07:41,519 –> 00:07:45,079
call with President Shi of China. We made progress on
118
00:07:45,199 –> 00:07:49,480
many very important issues, including trade, fentanyl, the need to
119
00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:51,959
bring the war between Russia and Ukraine to an end,
120
00:07:52,279 –> 00:07:55,720
and the approval of the TikTok deal. I also agreed
121
00:07:55,759 –> 00:07:58,079
with President Shee that we would meet at the APEX
122
00:07:58,120 –> 00:08:01,199
summit in South Korea, that I would go to China
123
00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:03,959
in the early part of next year, and the President
124
00:08:04,000 –> 00:08:07,199
she would likewise come to the United States at an
125
00:08:07,240 –> 00:08:10,959
appropriate time. The call was a very good one. We
126
00:08:11,040 –> 00:08:14,759
will be speaking again by phone. Appreciate the TikTok approval,
127
00:08:15,040 –> 00:08:18,959
and both look forward to meeting at APEX. On u
128
00:08:19,079 –> 00:08:23,319
S visa denial to Palestine President Mahmoud Abbess, it would
129
00:08:23,319 –> 00:08:27,000
be recalled that Mahmood Abbess became the President of Palestine
130
00:08:27,040 –> 00:08:30,160
in two thousand and five, and barely two years into
131
00:08:30,160 –> 00:08:34,159
his administration, the Hamas started governing the Gaza Strip after
132
00:08:34,159 –> 00:08:37,679
the Hamas took over the Palestinian Gaza Strip territory from
133
00:08:37,720 –> 00:08:41,919
the rival Fatto ruled Palestinian Authority PA on the fourteenth
134
00:08:42,039 –> 00:08:45,360
of June two thousand and seven, until the current Israel
135
00:08:45,440 –> 00:08:48,919
War in Gaza that started since October twenty twenty three,
136
00:08:49,360 –> 00:08:52,320
during which Hamas appeared to have lost control of most
137
00:08:52,360 –> 00:08:56,840
of the territory. The administration of United States President Donald
138
00:08:56,879 –> 00:08:59,960
Trump announced in August twenty twenty five it was denial
139
00:09:00,159 –> 00:09:04,360
and revoking visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization
140
00:09:04,960 –> 00:09:09,120
PLO and the Palestinian Authority PA before the United Nations
141
00:09:09,159 –> 00:09:14,279
General Assembly UNNGA in September. The announcement was made in
142
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:17,279
a statement released by the U S Department of State.
143
00:09:18,080 –> 00:09:21,960
According to the statement, the Trump Administration has been clear
144
00:09:22,399 –> 00:09:25,159
it is in our national security interests to hold the
145
00:09:25,159 –> 00:09:28,960
PLO and PER accountable for not complying with their commitments
146
00:09:29,240 –> 00:09:33,559
and for undermining the prospects for peace. The Palestinian government
147
00:09:33,639 –> 00:09:37,679
responded in the Abbess’s office called the visa decision astonishing
148
00:09:38,120 –> 00:09:42,080
and a violation of the nineteen forty seven UN Headquarters Agreement,
149
00:09:42,440 –> 00:09:45,960
which requires the US to allow access for foreign diplomats.
150
00:09:46,720 –> 00:09:51,279
Reuter’s International News Agency on Friday reported that the United
151
00:09:51,399 –> 00:09:55,360
Nations General Assembly voted on Friday to allow Palestinian President
152
00:09:55,440 –> 00:09:58,720
Mahmoud Abvis to address the annual gathering of World leaders
153
00:09:58,799 –> 00:10:02,039
next week via video after the United States said it
154
00:10:02,080 –> 00:10:04,799
would not give him a visa to travel to New York.
155
00:10:05,559 –> 00:10:08,960
The resolution received one hundred and forty five votes in
156
00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:13,600
favor and five votes against, while six countries abstained. It
157
00:10:13,720 –> 00:10:17,480
also allows ABIs and any other high level Palestinian officials
158
00:10:17,519 –> 00:10:20,440
to take part in U N meetings or conferences via
159
00:10:20,559 –> 00:10:23,159
video over the next year if they are prevented from
160
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:27,240
traveling to the United States. The US said last month
161
00:10:27,279 –> 00:10:30,519
that Abbis and about eighty other Palestinians would be affected
162
00:10:30,559 –> 00:10:33,639
by its decision to deny and revoke visas from members
163
00:10:33,639 –> 00:10:37,600
of the Umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization and the West Bank
164
00:10:37,720 –> 00:10:42,639
based Palestinian Authority. US opposition to this resolution should come
165
00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:48,120
as no surprise. US diplomat Jonathan Schreier said before the vote.
166
00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:51,679
The Trump administration has been clear, we must hold the
167
00:10:51,720 –> 00:10:55,759
PLO and Palestinian authority accountable for not complying with their
168
00:10:55,759 –> 00:10:59,279
commitments under the Oslo Accords, some of them very basic,
169
00:10:59,519 –> 00:11:02,960
and for an undermining the prospects for peace. Under a
170
00:11:03,080 –> 00:11:07,399
nineteen forty seven U n Headquarters agreement, the US is
171
00:11:07,480 –> 00:11:10,519
generally required to allow access for foreign diplomats to the
172
00:11:10,639 –> 00:11:14,840
UN in New York. However, Washington has said it can
173
00:11:14,879 –> 00:11:20,200
deny visaes for security, extremism and foreign policy reasons. Abbess
174
00:11:20,240 –> 00:11:22,720
will also be allowed to appear via video at a
175
00:11:22,759 –> 00:11:26,480
summit opens New tab at the United Nations on Monday,
176
00:11:26,960 –> 00:11:30,480
convened by France and Saudi Arabia that seeks to rally
177
00:11:30,480 –> 00:11:34,840
support for a two state solution. Several countries are expected
178
00:11:34,879 –> 00:11:38,759
to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the meeting. The
179
00:11:38,840 –> 00:11:42,120
one hundred and ninety three member General Assembly agreed on
180
00:11:42,200 –> 00:11:46,919
Friday by consensus without a vote, that Saudi Crown Prince
181
00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:50,720
Muhammad bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto ruler, could appear
182
00:11:50,840 –> 00:12:00,279
via video at Monday’s meeting. Quindi, it may be true
183
00:12:00,279 –> 00:12:03,120
that there are certain things people do to others, they
184
00:12:03,200 –> 00:12:06,480
may not take the same from anyone This assertion appeared
185
00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:09,960
to have come into play in the current administration of Nigeria.
186
00:12:10,039 –> 00:12:13,759
President Bola Hmed Talubu, who in the era of President
187
00:12:13,879 –> 00:12:18,600
Goodluck of Ballet Jonathan, apparently used spin logic to always
188
00:12:18,679 –> 00:12:23,039
make false statements, incite the public against the government, destroy
189
00:12:23,120 –> 00:12:26,559
the reputation and personality of the then President good Luck
190
00:12:26,600 –> 00:12:29,840
of Beallet Jonathan. As you may know, spin logic in
191
00:12:29,879 –> 00:12:34,960
communication is a public relations campaign strategy that uses deliberate, biased,
192
00:12:35,159 –> 00:12:40,080
or misleading interpretations of events and information to influence public perception.
193
00:12:40,559 –> 00:12:43,360
In one of the viral videos between twenty twelve and
194
00:12:43,440 –> 00:12:47,279
twenty fourteen in the history of politics in Nigeria, President
195
00:12:47,320 –> 00:12:50,080
Bolah Hmed Talubu, who was then a chieftain of the
196
00:12:50,120 –> 00:12:54,919
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria ACN and later All Progressives
197
00:12:54,919 –> 00:12:59,399
Congress APC, allegedly told a gathering of thousands of people
198
00:12:59,440 –> 00:13:03,399
that the then President good Luck Abelet Jonathan said Nigeria
199
00:13:03,480 –> 00:13:08,120
citizens should face death or starve to death directly or indirectly,
200
00:13:08,200 –> 00:13:11,480
saying that the then President Jonathan did not care about
201
00:13:11,480 –> 00:13:14,840
the well being of his people. Till date, Tanubu has
202
00:13:14,879 –> 00:13:17,679
not shown any evidence to back up his claim. That
203
00:13:17,960 –> 00:13:21,480
the people are hungry, President Jonathan said they should face death,
204
00:13:21,799 –> 00:13:24,759
and in some occasions, Tanubu called on the police not
205
00:13:24,879 –> 00:13:29,559
to attack protesters. Specifically, on November twenty ninth, twenty thirteen,
206
00:13:29,960 –> 00:13:33,840
Tanubu tweeted by a tweeta now ex social media platform,
207
00:13:33,879 –> 00:13:37,919
that police do not attack protesters. Your children are involved,
208
00:13:38,240 –> 00:13:42,120
your lives are involved, Your children’s future lie here, and
209
00:13:42,360 –> 00:13:46,399
urged millions of Nigerians to protest peacefully against the Jonathan
210
00:13:46,559 –> 00:13:50,279
led government and in one of the protests, Occupy Niger,
211
00:13:50,639 –> 00:13:54,960
allegedly sponsored by Bola Ahmed Tanubu. According to Reno Omakri,
212
00:13:55,159 –> 00:13:58,639
who was then a media spokesperson to Jonathan, the then
213
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,759
President Jonathan’s folk was placed on a coffin as a
214
00:14:01,799 –> 00:14:05,279
dead man and the coffin was labeled IP, meaning rest
215
00:14:05,320 –> 00:14:09,240
in peace. Also in February twenty eleven, as reported by
216
00:14:09,320 –> 00:14:13,600
Nigeria Media, Tanubu described the then President good Luck Jonathan
217
00:14:13,639 –> 00:14:17,159
as a drunkard sinking fisherman, a word that appears to
218
00:14:17,200 –> 00:14:20,360
falsely describe the then President Jonathan as a man that
219
00:14:20,519 –> 00:14:23,440
always take too much of alcohol to the extent of
220
00:14:23,519 –> 00:14:27,399
losing control of his behavior. But under the same Tanubu
221
00:14:27,480 –> 00:14:31,039
who is now the President of Nigeria. The State Security
222
00:14:31,120 –> 00:14:35,840
Service SSS, also known as the Department of State Service DSS,
223
00:14:35,879 –> 00:14:39,320
has filed a court case against Facebook and EX social
224
00:14:39,399 –> 00:14:44,159
media companies over a post published separately on August twenty
225
00:14:44,159 –> 00:14:47,679
fifth and twenty six, twenty twenty five by a well
226
00:14:47,759 –> 00:14:52,399
known human rights activist and anti government critic, Omiele Saware
227
00:14:52,519 –> 00:14:55,799
and his online media Salara A Reporters. And In the
228
00:14:55,840 –> 00:14:59,919
five count charges, the DSS accused Omiele Saware of making
229
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,639
being defamatory or false statements against the person of President
230
00:15:03,679 –> 00:15:07,480
Bola Ahmed Tanubu for describing the President as a criminal
231
00:15:07,600 –> 00:15:10,840
after the President allegedly said there is no more corruption
232
00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:15,000
in Nigeria. In the legal battle, Omiyelee Saware has also
233
00:15:15,159 –> 00:15:18,679
gone to court to stop Facebook x social Media from
234
00:15:18,679 –> 00:15:23,360
deleting his posts and sued the DSS for unconstitutional media censorship.
235
00:15:24,039 –> 00:15:29,840
The DSS, in the sub market fhc ABJ CR four
236
00:15:29,919 –> 00:15:34,519
hundred and eighty four two than twenty fifths also joined Meta,

the parent company of Facebook, and Ex Corporation as defendants
238
00:15:38,399 –> 00:15:42,240
at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The criminal charges
239
00:15:42,320 –> 00:15:46,639
filed and dated September sixteenth, was filed by Mohammad Abubakhar,
240
00:15:47,120 –> 00:15:51,279
Director of Public Prosecutions, Federal Ministry of Justice after the
241
00:15:51,360 –> 00:15:54,600
DSS road to Facebook X and Saware to delete the
242
00:15:54,639 –> 00:15:57,919
post and deactivate saware account, but the parties appeared to
243
00:15:57,960 –> 00:16:01,639
have refused to honor the DSS requests. In the five
244
00:16:01,799 –> 00:16:06,440
count charge, Saware, the publisher of SATA Reporters, was alleged
245
00:16:06,480 –> 00:16:08,799
to have made a false claim against the person of
246
00:16:08,840 –> 00:16:12,919
the president by referring to him as a criminal. Saware,
247
00:16:13,279 –> 00:16:18,000
the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress AAC in
248
00:16:18,120 –> 00:16:21,840
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three, in the charges accused
249
00:16:21,879 –> 00:16:26,480
of contravening the provisions of the Cyber Crimes Prohibition Prevention, Etc.
250
00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:31,480
Amendment Act twenty twenty four. Count one of the charge
251
00:16:31,480 –> 00:16:35,559
alleged that Saware Honor about August twenty fifth did use
252
00:16:35,600 –> 00:16:38,960
his official ex handle page and yellow Saware to send
253
00:16:38,960 –> 00:16:42,159
out a message tweet. The message is said to be
254
00:16:42,639 –> 00:16:45,639
this criminal at official pea bat actually went to Brazil
255
00:16:45,759 –> 00:16:48,200
to state that there is no more corruption under his
256
00:16:48,320 –> 00:16:53,440
regime in Nigeria. What audacity to lie shamelessly? The message,
257
00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:56,320
which he knew to be false, was posted for the
258
00:16:56,360 –> 00:16:59,080
purpose of causing a breakdown of law and order in
259
00:16:59,120 –> 00:17:03,480
the country, especially among individuals who hold divergent views on
260
00:17:03,559 –> 00:17:06,680
the personality of the President and Commander in Chief of
261
00:17:06,759 –> 00:17:10,400
the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola
262
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:15,200
Ahmed Tenubu GCFR. The offense is said to be contrary
263
00:17:15,200 –> 00:17:19,079
to Section twenty four one b of the Cyber Crimes
264
00:17:19,240 –> 00:17:27,119
Prohibition Prevention Etc. Amendment Act twenty twenty four, among other counts. Meanwhile,
265
00:17:27,359 –> 00:17:31,200
Omile Saware also filed a lawsuit against the DSS and
266
00:17:31,279 –> 00:17:34,960
owners of Meta and X Corporation not to delete his posts,
267
00:17:35,000 –> 00:17:40,200
saying the issue is about principles not personality. Sware originating
268
00:17:40,279 –> 00:17:44,839
summon reads on behalf of our client, Omile Saware. We
269
00:17:44,960 –> 00:17:48,680
have filed two fundamental rights actions of the Federal High Court,
270
00:17:48,920 –> 00:17:54,119
Abuja against the State Security Service SSS, META, owners of
271
00:17:54,160 –> 00:17:58,839
Facebook and X Corporation formerly Twitter. These suits were filed
272
00:17:58,880 –> 00:18:02,880
to challenge the unconcer institutional censorship initiated by the DSS
273
00:18:03,279 –> 00:18:07,680
SSS against Sauare’s accounts maintained with Meta and X. The
274
00:18:07,759 –> 00:18:11,039
lawsuit states categorically that this is about the survival of
275
00:18:11,119 –> 00:18:15,240
free speech in Nigeria. If state agencies can dictate to
276
00:18:15,279 –> 00:18:18,440
global platforms who may speak and what may be said,
277
00:18:18,599 –> 00:18:22,079
then no Nigerian is safe. Their voices will be silenced
278
00:18:22,079 –> 00:18:25,640
at the whim of those in power. Censorship of political
279
00:18:25,680 –> 00:18:29,720
criticism is alien to democracy. The Constitution of the Federal
280
00:18:29,759 –> 00:18:34,480
Republic of Nigeria, in section thirty nine, guarantees every citizen
281
00:18:34,519 –> 00:18:39,839
the right to freedom of expression without interference. No security agency,
282
00:18:40,319 –> 00:18:44,079
no matter how powerful, can suspend or delete those rights.
283
00:18:44,880 –> 00:18:48,400
Meta and X must also understand this. When they vouter
284
00:18:48,559 –> 00:18:53,680
unlawful censorship demands, they become complicit in the suppression of liberty.
285
00:18:53,720 –> 00:18:58,160
They cannot hide behind neutrality while authoritarianism is exported onto
286
00:18:58,200 –> 00:19:02,319
their platforms. Our prayers before the court are simple that
287
00:19:02,440 –> 00:19:05,759
the SSS has no power in law to censor Nigerians
288
00:19:05,799 –> 00:19:09,119
on social media, that Metter and X must not lend
289
00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:12,640
their platforms as tools of repression, and that our client’s
290
00:19:12,759 –> 00:19:16,279
rites them by extension the rights of all Nigerians be
291
00:19:16,359 –> 00:19:20,880
fully protected against unlawful censorship. We call on all lovers
292
00:19:20,880 –> 00:19:25,720
of freedom, journalists, human rights defenders and the Nigerian people
293
00:19:25,799 –> 00:19:30,000
to stand firm. Today it is saware, tomorrow it may
294
00:19:30,039 –> 00:19:33,960
be you. This struggle is not about personalities. It is
295
00:19:34,000 –> 00:19:37,440
about principle and we shall resist every attempt to turn

00:19:37,559 –> 00:19:43,039
Nigeria into a digital dictatorship. Signed Toue Temo Kanov Toue
297
00:19:43,079 –> 00:19:47,960
Temokin Chambers, Lagos, Esquire. On the sixteenth of September twenty
298
00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:51,599
twenty five, we had reported that as people of Nepal
299
00:19:51,680 –> 00:19:54,119
in South Asia country took to the streets in an
300
00:19:54,200 –> 00:19:57,599
unprecedented manner to protest an end to corruption and bad
301
00:19:57,680 –> 00:20:00,480
leadership in the country. During the week after a short
302
00:20:00,519 –> 00:20:04,599
lived ban on social media by the Nepalese government, Nigeria
303
00:20:04,759 –> 00:20:09,240
secret police known as Department of State Security Service DSS,
304
00:20:09,279 –> 00:20:12,559
appeared to have doubled efforts, apparently to avert the unpleasant
305
00:20:12,640 –> 00:20:16,799
Nepal situation in the West Africa country, a situation where
306
00:20:16,839 –> 00:20:20,519
some politicians in the South Asia country tasted the bitter
307
00:20:20,640 –> 00:20:24,519
side of their citizens like never before. This, the DSS
308
00:20:24,559 –> 00:20:26,680
has appeared to be on the neck of ex social
309
00:20:26,720 –> 00:20:29,880
media management to ensure the deletion of a post tweeted
310
00:20:29,920 –> 00:20:33,599
by the founder of Sahara Reporters news media and a
311
00:20:33,680 –> 00:20:38,400
well known anti government critic, Armiele Saware that allegedly described
312
00:20:38,440 –> 00:20:42,440
the Nigeria President Bola armed Tulubu as a criminal, a
313
00:20:42,559 –> 00:20:45,839
statement Saware made in reaction to the words of President
314
00:20:45,880 –> 00:20:50,400
Bola armed Telubu over corruption in Nigeria while the President
315
00:20:50,559 –> 00:20:53,960
was on official visit in Brazil. The DSS said Saware
316
00:20:54,000 –> 00:20:57,720
mis represented the President’s statement and as such the supporters
317
00:20:57,720 –> 00:21:01,319
of the president are not happy over it. The Security
318
00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:05,319
Service demanded a attracted publication from homil A Swarry, but
319
00:21:05,759 –> 00:21:09,119
in a swift reaction, Omi declined and accused of the
320
00:21:09,160 –> 00:21:11,039
accessor always acting illegally.
321
00:21:11,960 –> 00:21:14,079
Speaker 2: Guys increasing the age of work.
322
00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:19,279
Speaker 3: Unapplin man is a cause, they say, yes, we know.
323
00:21:21,200 –> 00:21:25,039
Speaker 4: Why the people agrees and lend them faced with death.
324
00:21:27,359 –> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 5: That is what is in a buda.
325
00:21:30,680 –> 00:21:38,319
Speaker 4: Today in the current way of donat lesson.
326
00:21:39,079 –> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 5: Don’t be impossible what it.
327
00:21:41,839 –> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Does and the quality and the arison.
328
00:21:44,640 –> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 5: Of just process in every.
329
00:21:48,680 –> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: We have got that at the hour in this place.
330
00:21:53,079 –> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 6: To put the names of imagine of.
331
00:21:55,240 –> 00:22:03,279
Speaker 4: Corrosion and perhaps we are to bring a new name.
332
00:22:22,119 –> 00:22:25,079
Speaker 1: As people of Nepal in South Asia, country took to
333
00:22:25,119 –> 00:22:28,119
the streets in an unprecedented manner to protest and end
334
00:22:28,160 –> 00:22:31,039
to corruption and bad leadership in the country. During the
335
00:22:31,079 –> 00:22:34,079
week after a short lived ban on social media by
336
00:22:34,119 –> 00:22:38,440
the Nepalese government. Nigeria secret police known as Department of
337
00:22:38,519 –> 00:22:43,200
State Security Services ESS appeared to have doubled efforts apparently
338
00:22:43,279 –> 00:22:47,440
to revert the unpleasant Nepal situation in the West Africa country,
339
00:22:47,759 –> 00:22:51,839
a situation where some politicians in the South Asia country
340
00:22:51,880 –> 00:22:55,960
tasted the bitter side of their citizens like never before. This,
341
00:22:56,559 –> 00:22:58,559
the DSS has appeared to be on the neck of
342
00:22:58,640 –> 00:23:02,000
ex social media management to ensure the deletion of a

post tweeted by the founder of Sahara Reporters news media
344
00:23:06,039 –> 00:23:09,799
and a well known anti government critic, Omiele Sawarre, that
345
00:23:09,880 –> 00:23:14,519
allegedly described the Nigeria President Bulla Hmed Tanubu as a criminal,
346
00:23:14,839 –> 00:23:17,759
a statement Saware made in reaction to the words of
347
00:23:17,799 –> 00:23:22,400
President Bulla Ahmed Tanubu over corruption in Nigeria while the
348
00:23:22,400 –> 00:23:26,000
president was on official visit in Brazil. The DSS said
349
00:23:26,039 –> 00:23:30,240
sawaremus represented the President’s statement and as such, the supporters
350
00:23:30,240 –> 00:23:33,200
of the president are not happy over it. Hence the
351
00:23:33,279 –> 00:23:38,000
security service demanded a retracted publication from Amile Saware, but
352
00:23:38,519 –> 00:23:42,319
in a swift reaction, Omiele declined and accused the DSS
353
00:23:42,319 –> 00:23:45,839
of always acting illegally. In a letter written during the
354
00:23:45,880 –> 00:23:48,759
week and address to the Director General of the Department
355
00:23:48,839 –> 00:23:53,200
of State Services, Omiyele said, I acknowledge receipt of your
356
00:23:53,279 –> 00:23:56,319
letter which you stealthily dumped with a security guard at
357
00:23:56,359 –> 00:24:00,359
the office of my attorneys in Abuja, addressed to Abu Bakhma.
358
00:24:01,119 –> 00:24:04,359
I find your horrendous attempt at holding an unwarranted brief
359
00:24:04,400 –> 00:24:08,640
for the President not only insidious, but fundamentally defective, flawed
360
00:24:08,640 –> 00:24:13,599
in principle and absolutely unlawful. The State Security Service was
361
00:24:13,640 –> 00:24:18,279
not created as a security institution. The SSS, now self
362
00:24:18,319 –> 00:24:23,759
styled as the DSS, began as the e Department Special Branch,
363
00:24:24,039 –> 00:24:27,480
an office established in nineteen forty eight and initially located
364
00:24:27,519 –> 00:24:30,799
in the office of the Inspector General at Police. It
365
00:24:30,920 –> 00:24:35,559
was later renamed the National Security Organization NSO, but on
366
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:39,920
June fifth, nineteen eighty six, the Federal Military government issued
367
00:24:39,960 –> 00:24:43,920
Decree number nineteen dissolving the NSO and unbundling it into
368
00:24:44,000 –> 00:24:48,400
three entities, the SSS for domestic intelligence, the NIA for
369
00:24:48,519 –> 00:24:53,440
external intelligence and counterintelligence, and the DEER for military related intelligence.
370
00:24:54,240 –> 00:24:57,960
While the NEAR and DIA largely kept faith with their mandates,
371
00:24:58,279 –> 00:25:02,960
the SSS under successive Director Generals has consistently acted bullishly,
372
00:25:03,279 –> 00:25:07,160
illegally and unlawfully, serving as a ready tool of oppression
373
00:25:07,240 –> 00:25:10,880
for dictatorial regime spent on breaking rules and repressing the
374
00:25:10,960 –> 00:25:15,079
rights of the Nigerian people. Thus, it is no surprise
375
00:25:15,160 –> 00:25:18,440
that you have once again resumed repressive hostility against me.
376
00:25:19,319 –> 00:25:23,079
In nineteen ninety three, while I was student union president
377
00:25:23,119 –> 00:25:26,720
at the University of Legos, policemen abducted me from the
378
00:25:26,839 –> 00:25:31,240
university gate during a peaceful pro democracy protest. I was
379
00:25:31,279 –> 00:25:34,359
taken to your Legos office after being driven around with
380
00:25:34,480 –> 00:25:37,799
my head tucked under a seat from our lower way
381
00:25:37,839 –> 00:25:41,039
in Akoi. I was detained unlawfully for weeks at the
382
00:25:41,079 –> 00:25:45,519
notorious inter center near Akoi Cemetery. It took several days
383
00:25:45,519 –> 00:25:48,200
of lecture boycotts to force your hand to release me
384
00:25:48,319 –> 00:25:53,160
without charges. Again. In January and June nineteen ninety six,
385
00:25:53,559 –> 00:25:56,680
during and after my National Youth Service Corps in Yola
386
00:25:57,000 –> 00:26:00,559
Adamawa State, your men detained me and later tried transferred
387
00:26:00,599 –> 00:26:03,440
me to the Nigerian Air Force base where I was
388
00:26:03,480 –> 00:26:05,920
held in hand and leg chains for over a week
389
00:26:06,000 –> 00:26:11,960
before release again without charges. My NYSC discharge certificate has
390
00:26:12,039 –> 00:26:14,160
been denied to me to this day because of your
391
00:26:14,240 –> 00:26:19,599
unlawful detention. In August twenty nineteen, the ss agents invaded
392
00:26:19,680 –> 00:26:23,400
my hotel room, abducted me and detained me for months
393
00:26:23,440 –> 00:26:28,599
over trumped up allegations of treasonable felony, money laundering and cybercrime.
394
00:26:29,359 –> 00:26:32,519
It was your first attempt to falsely accuse me of
395
00:26:32,559 –> 00:26:36,599
insulting a sitting president that failed, as did every other
396
00:26:36,720 –> 00:26:40,039
false accusation advanced against me by the government through the
397
00:26:40,200 –> 00:26:45,839
SSS and police. During that period, you flouted several court judgments.
398
00:26:46,160 –> 00:26:50,119
Most disgracefully, your men invaded a Federal High Court presided
399
00:26:50,119 –> 00:26:53,519
by Justice Ijayoma Adjukuta have dug me even after bail
400
00:26:53,680 –> 00:26:57,680
conditions were met. To this day, you continued to refuse
401
00:26:57,720 –> 00:27:00,519
to obey two court judgments ordering the return of my
402
00:27:00,680 –> 00:27:05,519
confiscated properties, including several mobile phones, and payment of damages.
403
00:27:06,279 –> 00:27:09,680
You and URILK have dragged me through unscrupulous abuse and
404
00:27:09,759 –> 00:27:14,240
gross violations of rights for decades without remorse. In twenty
405
00:27:14,279 –> 00:27:18,839
twenty one, during the inglorious Buhari years, your agency propped
406
00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:22,599
up a sham group, the incorporated Trustees of Global Integrity
407
00:27:22,599 –> 00:27:26,200
Crusade Network, to sue Sahara reporters and me on behalf
408
00:27:26,279 –> 00:27:30,359
of the criminally minded Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakhar
409
00:27:30,440 –> 00:27:33,880
Malami Sam. They prayed the court to compel me and
410
00:27:33,960 –> 00:27:37,640
others to pay Malami two billion nairas for alleged trauma
411
00:27:37,720 –> 00:27:42,039
and emotional stress caused by Sahara reporters publications. In July
412
00:27:42,119 –> 00:27:47,160
twenty twenty, in his judgment, Justice Abiora Eguat awarded one
413
00:27:47,240 –> 00:27:51,279
hundred thousand nairas against the litigants, affirming the argument of
414
00:27:51,319 –> 00:27:54,920
our Attorney Marshal Abubaka that they had no right to
415
00:27:54,960 –> 00:27:57,799
sue on Malami’s behalf, just as you have no right
416
00:27:57,880 –> 00:28:02,079
to act as proxy for President Bolah arm Met to Nubu. Defamation,
417
00:28:02,559 –> 00:28:06,720
the judge reminded, is a personal taught The AGF should
418
00:28:06,720 –> 00:28:10,240
have gone to court himself if he felt defamed. It
419
00:28:10,319 –> 00:28:14,240
is elementary that only the person to fame can sue. Therefore,
420
00:28:14,640 –> 00:28:17,559
your attempt to demand a retraction is an incompetent and
421
00:28:17,640 –> 00:28:22,039
unlawful attempt to hold the president’s brief. Section twenty two
422
00:28:22,079 –> 00:28:25,480
of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution requires the press to
423
00:28:25,559 –> 00:28:30,319
uphold the government’s responsibility and accountability to the people. Section
424
00:28:30,480 –> 00:28:34,240
thirty nine guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of expression,
425
00:28:34,599 –> 00:28:38,880
to hold opinions and to receive an impart information without interference.
426
00:28:39,759 –> 00:28:42,960
Article nine of the African Charter on Human and People’s
427
00:28:43,039 –> 00:28:47,240
Rights provides the same. Even in the UK, sedition and
428
00:28:47,319 –> 00:28:50,200
libel laws have been repealed as archaic relics of a
429
00:28:50,240 –> 00:28:54,519
bygone era. The UN Human Rights Committee, in General Comment
430
00:28:54,680 –> 00:28:58,839
number thirty four has declared a free unsensed media essential
431
00:28:58,839 –> 00:29:04,200
to democracy. Courts across Africa, including Zimbabwe’s Supreme Court and
432
00:29:04,279 –> 00:29:08,079
the African Court in isir Canate versus Bukina Faso, have
433
00:29:08,240 –> 00:29:13,279
ruled the criminal defamation is unjustifiable in a democracy. Nigeria’s
434
00:29:13,319 –> 00:29:17,359
own Court of Appeal in Arthur Awanquo versus State nineteen
435
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:21,440
eighty five, struck down sedition laws when Nawanquo was convicted
436
00:29:21,480 –> 00:29:25,359
for criticizing Governor jim In Wobodo. The court held that
437
00:29:25,440 –> 00:29:30,799
sedition was unconstitutional and animical to free speech. Justice Adikae
438
00:29:31,039 –> 00:29:34,519
in ig P versus a n p P asked how
439
00:29:34,559 –> 00:29:38,920
long Nigerians must suffer under colonial era public order ordinances
440
00:29:38,960 –> 00:29:43,680
designed to gag descent. Criticism is indispensable in a democracy.
441
00:29:44,079 –> 00:29:46,880
Freedom of speech includes the right to say what those
442
00:29:46,920 –> 00:29:52,039
in power find uncomfortable justice. Olatowra reminded us that citizens
443
00:29:52,119 –> 00:29:55,440
must defend their hard one freedom of expression and that
444
00:29:55,519 –> 00:29:58,680
those in public office must not be intolerant of criticism.
445
00:29:59,359 –> 00:30:02,920
Where boundary is across, the remedy is civil libel, not
446
00:30:03,079 –> 00:30:07,519
unlawful repression. The dss is desire to please the powers
447
00:30:07,559 –> 00:30:11,759
that be has always destroyed institutions while building strong men.
448
00:30:12,519 –> 00:30:15,279
But where are those strong men to day after your
449
00:30:15,319 –> 00:30:19,279
service broke laws and trampled rights to protect them. Rather
450
00:30:19,359 –> 00:30:22,519
than vilification, we should be commended for living up to
451
00:30:22,559 –> 00:30:27,480
our constitutional responsibility to hold leaders accountable. I am glad
452
00:30:27,519 –> 00:30:30,759
you made reference to my constant desire to seek change,
453
00:30:31,200 –> 00:30:33,079
the very drive that led me to run for the
454
00:30:33,119 –> 00:30:36,880
position of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, even
455
00:30:36,920 –> 00:30:41,799
though my commitments and convictions predate partisan political endeavors. It
456
00:30:41,920 –> 00:30:44,839
is from that same line of conviction that I have
457
00:30:44,920 –> 00:30:49,000
adopted an uncompromising stance ensuring that this country does not
458
00:30:49,079 –> 00:30:52,799

590
00:39:57,679 –> 00:40:01,519
avoidable and strongly cautioned drivers to to exercise outmost care,
591

592
00:40:06,079 –> 00:40:10,000
and accidents are more frequent. He reminded motorists that no
593
00:40:10,159 –> 00:40:13,119

594
00:40:13,159 –> 00:40:18,039

to prevent further tragedies. Sp Deniland Duque, the police public
596
00:40:22,519 –> 00:40:27,559
relations officer Enugu State Command, stated in a statement signed
597
00:40:27,639 –> 00:40:32,239
by its management on Wednesday, Dangotte Group said the vehicle
598
00:40:32,320 –> 00:40:36,360
with Dangotte inscription was operated by a third party. We
599
00:40:36,400 –> 00:40:39,719
are engaging with the appropriate agencies to find out why
600
00:40:39,760 –> 00:40:42,199
the truck was carrying our logo when it is not
601
00:40:42,360 –> 00:40:46,239
part of our fleet. Going forward, we will apply more
602
00:40:46,280 –> 00:40:50,440
scrutiny to the unauthorized use of our brand identity, especially
603
00:40:50,480 –> 00:40:53,199
the misuse of our logo on vehicles not linked to
604
00:40:53,239 –> 00:40:57,119
the group. Ordinarily, it is our policy not to comment
605
00:40:57,199 –> 00:41:00,840
on individual cases, but the spread of massines information linking
606
00:41:00,880 –> 00:41:04,440
these incidents to the Dangotte Group without evidence has compelled
607
00:41:04,519 –> 00:41:07,440
us to respond. We call on the public and the
608
00:41:07,480 –> 00:41:11,840
media to avoid spreading unverified claims. The statement partly read,
609
00:41:12,559 –> 00:41:16,039
we are committed to cooperating fully with the relevant authorities
610
00:41:16,079 –> 00:41:18,920
and insist that investigations should be allowed to run the
611
00:41:19,000 –> 00:41:24,039
course without interference. We strongly reject attempts to exploit tragedies
612
00:41:24,119 –> 00:41:27,679
like this for malicious or financial gain. The Dangotte Group
613
00:41:27,760 –> 00:41:30,599
stated in the company maintained that it remains committed to
614
00:41:30,639 –> 00:41:35,960
the highest standards of corporate responsibility, safety and integrity. We

00:41:44,679 –> 00:41:47,960

they do, he would report the video to the management
620
00:41:54,199 –> 00:41:59,079

00:42:19,239 –> 00:42:22,400
was alive, the sister of The Big Brother Nigeria season
628
00:42:22,519 –> 00:42:27,000
seven winner i Juma Ottibor aka Feena, who allegedly needed
629
00:42:27,039 –> 00:42:30,559
more attention and care from Dangotte Group of company owned
630
00:42:30,599 –> 00:42:35,000
by africa richest man Aliko Dangotte, whose truck hit Ruth Ottobor.
631
00:42:35,079 –> 00:42:38,800
Few days after the accident, victim, Ruth Ottibor rounded off
632
00:42:38,840 –> 00:42:42,880
her examinations as a final year student of Federal Polytechnic
633
00:42:42,960 –> 00:42:46,679
in Auchi, but according to Veri Dutman, soon after the
634
00:42:46,719 –> 00:42:50,400
death of the accident victim was announced on Sunday, bloggers
635
00:42:50,440 –> 00:42:55,079
started publishing the news stories massively continuing. Veri Dutman accused
636
00:42:55,079 –> 00:42:58,639
Fena of being a greedy person, saying Fena wrote a
637
00:42:58,639 –> 00:43:02,280
demand list of one billion naira to Dangotte even when
638
00:43:02,320 –> 00:43:05,519
she has not visited her sister in the hospital to
639
00:43:05,639 –> 00:43:08,960
know the true picture of her condition. In a swift reaction,
640
00:43:09,360 –> 00:43:12,599
a well known sex educator who uses raw words to
641
00:43:12,679 –> 00:43:17,639
pass across her teachings, iziegbeog Bede aka Ekia Queen, condemned
642
00:43:17,679 –> 00:43:20,639
the act of Veridartman, saying it was the alleged greed
643
00:43:20,679 –> 00:43:24,679
of Fena that killed her sister, with Echiaquein accusing Veridartmun
644
00:43:24,679 –> 00:43:27,119
of being a liar who is trying to cause more
645
00:43:27,159 –> 00:43:29,960
pains to the bereaved Fena even when he knows her
646
00:43:30,000 –> 00:43:34,000
sister just died. Less than forty eight hours ago, we

all necessary efforts to fly the accident victim abroad for

00:43:52,079 –> 00:43:55,519
the continuation of her medical treatment, but the company was
653
00:43:55,559 –> 00:43:59,079
waiting for her doctors to certify her fit for air travel.
654
00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:02,760

Bolah Ahmed Tenubu has said that the West Africa country
664
00:44:42,679 –> 00:44:45,639
has no fear over whatever the President of the United

00:44:45,679 –> 00:44:50,000
States Donald Trump is doing, although the Nigeria president did
666
00:44:50,039 –> 00:44:53,239
not give details what the U s President is doing

its revenue target for twenty twenty five from non oil
671
00:45:07,320 –> 00:45:11,719
revenue sources, saying if Nigeria as at August has already
672
00:45:11,840 –> 00:45:15,559
met revenue target from non oil products, the country has
673
00:45:15,599 –> 00:45:18,480
no fear of whatever the President of the United States
674
00:45:18,920 –> 00:45:22,440
US is doing, adding that the economy of the country
675
00:45:22,599 –> 00:45:26,880

676
00:45:26,920 –> 00:45:29,760
well in the foreign exchange market, with a claim he

00:45:29,840 –> 00:45:33,360

678
00:45:33,400 –> 00:45:36,920

nyras to one thousand, four hundred and fifty nyrus per
683
00:45:50,159 –> 00:45:53,559

684
00:45:53,920 –> 00:45:57,519
We observed the President Bola Tanubu on May twenty ninth,

00:46:35,119 –> 00:46:38,639
one dollar in his twenty twenty four budget, which made

since made cost of foodstuffs and other basic necessities in

Nigeria to increase outrageously more than seven hundred percent with
704
00:47:08,239 –> 00:47:12,159
no reduction till date. Like a sachet water that used

X any more. The economy is now predictable. You do
723
00:48:27,280 –> 00:48:31,199
not need to know the CBN Governor Yemi Cardoso to
724
00:48:31,280 –> 00:48:35,320
obtain foreign exchange or import goods. What we need now
725
00:48:35,400 –> 00:48:37,880
is building the ship and the vessels for the export
726
00:48:37,920 –> 00:48:40,679

build capacity, expand cultivation and harvest and guarantee food sovereignty.
730
00:48:54,719 –> 00:48:58,000

00:48:58,079 –> 00:49:03,000
path to food sovereignty. Reflecting on his long standing relationship
732
00:49:03,039 –> 00:49:07,880

participate in the government. Thank you for your patients until now.
740
00:49:35,079 –> 00:49:37,920

platforms the video or videos were published, and ensured the
795
00:54:11,480 –> 00:54:15,239
video or videos abroad down or removed. He stated this
796
00:54:15,400 –> 00:54:18,480
on Tuesday noon in a nine minutes video wherein he
797
00:54:18,519 –> 00:54:21,920
accused the media, especially those he referred to as bloggers,
798
00:54:22,239 –> 00:54:24,719
of not joining hands with him and others to launch
799
00:54:24,760 –> 00:54:28,440
massive campaign and awareness when Ruth Ottibor was alive, the
800
00:54:28,519 –> 00:54:31,880
sister of The Big Brother Nigeria season seven winner i
801
00:54:32,039 –> 00:54:35,599
Juma Ottibor a k a. Fena, who allegedly needed more
802
00:54:35,639 –> 00:54:39,079
attention and care from Dangotte Group of company owned by
803
00:54:39,159 –> 00:54:43,280
africa richest man Aliko Dangotte, whose track hit Ruth Ottebor.
804
00:54:43,400 –> 00:54:47,119
Few days after the accident victim, Ruth Ottibor rounded off
805
00:54:47,119 –> 00:54:51,199
her examinations as a final year student of Federal Polytechnic
806
00:54:51,239 –> 00:54:55,239
in Auchi, but according to Berridockman, soon after the death
807
00:54:55,280 –> 00:54:59,119
of the accident victim was announced on Sunday, bloggers started
808
00:54:59,119 –> 00:55:03,719
publishing the new stories massively continuing. Veri Dartmun accused Fena
809
00:55:03,719 –> 00:55:07,280
of being a greedy person, saying Fina wrote a demand
810
00:55:07,320 –> 00:55:10,679
list of one billion naira to Dangotte even when she
811
00:55:10,920 –> 00:55:14,000
has not visited her sister in the hospital to know
812
00:55:14,119 –> 00:55:17,239
the true picture of her condition. In a swift reaction,
813
00:55:17,599 –> 00:55:20,840
a well known sex educator who uses raw words to
814
00:55:20,960 –> 00:55:25,920
pass across her teachings, iziegbeog Bede aka Ekia Queen, condemned
815
00:55:25,960 –> 00:55:28,920
the act of Veridarkmun, saying it was the alleged greed
816
00:55:28,960 –> 00:55:32,920
of Fena that killed her sister, with echiaquein accusing Veridarkmun
817
00:55:33,000 –> 00:55:35,400
of being a liar who is trying to cause more
818
00:55:35,440 –> 00:55:38,239
pains to the bereaved Fena, even when he knows her
819
00:55:38,280 –> 00:55:42,599
sister just died less than forty eight hours ago. Earlier
820
00:55:42,639 –> 00:55:46,679
before today, when the accident victim Ruth Ottibor was still alive,
821
00:55:47,079 –> 00:55:51,079
Veri Darkmann published a video narrating how Fena allegedly betrayed
822
00:55:51,119 –> 00:55:54,639
him when Dangotte Group invited her for possible settlement. After
823
00:55:54,719 –> 00:55:57,800
Veridartmann and many others in the society took to their
824
00:55:57,880 –> 00:56:01,480
social media page to campaign and protest over the Dangotte
825
00:56:01,599 –> 00:56:05,360
truck accident, reportedly leading to immediate amputation of the two
826
00:56:05,440 –> 00:56:10,519
legs of the female victim, Ruthottobre. Verid Archmann said, when
827
00:56:10,559 –> 00:56:13,960
Fina got the attention of Dangotte Group, Fina sent a
828
00:56:13,960 –> 00:56:16,800
message to him that the Dangotte group requested that they
829
00:56:16,840 –> 00:56:21,599
don’t want him, Veridartmann in the discussion, an action Veridartman
830
00:56:21,719 –> 00:56:24,360
considered to be that Fena was the one that betrayed him,
831
00:56:24,400 –> 00:56:27,840
apparently because of money. It is yet to be ascertained
832
00:56:27,840 –> 00:56:31,519
if truly the Dangotte Group rejected verid Artman in the discussion,
833
00:56:31,960 –> 00:56:34,960
but if the claim is confirmed to be true, we
834
00:56:35,039 –> 00:56:38,760
believe the Dangotte Group may have rejected Veridartmann because verd
835
00:56:38,840 –> 00:56:43,159
Artmann apparently insulted the person and the personality of Aliko Dangotte,
836
00:56:43,400 –> 00:56:46,239
the founder of the Dangotte Group, while he was protesting
837
00:56:46,280 –> 00:56:50,000
over the accident. In the nine minute video. On Tuesday,
838
00:56:50,360 –> 00:56:53,679
Veridarkman withdrew his earlier statement and a threat he had
839
00:56:53,679 –> 00:56:57,639
issued that if anything happened to Fena’s sister, he would
840
00:56:57,639 –> 00:57:01,119
travel to Rauchi and insure Dangotte operations were shut down
841
00:57:01,159 –> 00:57:04,239
in Auchi. He said on Tuesday that he would no
842
00:57:04,360 –> 00:57:08,000
longer travel to Auchi because of Feena’s sister, adding that
843
00:57:08,360 –> 00:57:11,320
if Dangotte track hit another person, he would do what
844
00:57:11,360 –> 00:57:14,559
he had earlier said. He said he decided not to
845
00:57:14,639 –> 00:57:17,440
travel to Auchi to keep to his words so that
846
00:57:17,480 –> 00:57:20,199
people will not accuse him of creating contents for the
847
00:57:20,199 –> 00:57:25,320
purpose of making money on social media. Indirectly, Veri Dutmann
848
00:57:25,360 –> 00:57:28,199
was apparently referring to Echia Queen, who had accused and
849
00:57:28,280 –> 00:57:32,000
described Verdarkmann as a mere content’s creator, whom she also
850
00:57:32,079 –> 00:57:36,480
accused of being a manipulator. Hechia Queen called out Veridartmann
851
00:57:36,519 –> 00:57:40,519
with a sustained day and night social media campaign describing
852
00:57:41,360 –> 00:57:45,360
Veridarkman as a mere content creator after she accused Verdarkman
853
00:57:45,440 –> 00:57:50,320
of requesting YouTube to remove her video, allegation. Veridartmann did
854
00:57:50,360 –> 00:57:54,119
not deny. Veridarkmann said she was the one that violated
855
00:57:54,119 –> 00:57:58,480
the copyright law by using his video, but Hechia Queen
856
00:57:58,559 –> 00:58:01,599
said the video was a meaning for the enhanced video content,
857
00:58:01,719 –> 00:58:04,880
which she did voiceover in reaction to the statements made
858
00:58:04,960 –> 00:58:09,440
by Veridarkman in the video. Reacting to the veridarkmun statement
859
00:58:09,480 –> 00:58:13,119
against Fena on Tuesday, in a five minute video, Hechia
860
00:58:13,159 –> 00:58:15,880
Queen said that one should pray that someone whose words
861
00:58:15,880 –> 00:58:18,920
are widely accepted in the society should not tell lies
862
00:58:18,960 –> 00:58:22,159
against you the way and manner. Veridarkman on Tuesday took
863
00:58:22,199 –> 00:58:25,920
to his social media page to allegedly tell lies against Fena.
864
00:58:26,639 –> 00:58:31,280
According to Hechia Queen, the situation Fena found herself, anybody
865
00:58:31,320 –> 00:58:34,719
would definitely demand money as compensation in order for the
866
00:58:34,760 –> 00:58:38,400
family to be able to take care of their sister. Hence,
867
00:58:38,679 –> 00:58:42,239
she described the Veri Darkmann’s statement as emotional blackmail made
868
00:58:42,280 –> 00:58:45,119
with intent to cause more pains to Fena even when
869
00:58:45,159 –> 00:58:48,400
Fina is still in the period of mourning. We have
870
00:58:48,559 –> 00:58:51,719
reported that the management of Dangotte Group says they are
871
00:58:51,760 –> 00:58:55,000
saddened over the death of Ruthotibor, the sister of Big
872
00:58:55,039 –> 00:58:59,840
Brother Niger season seven winner i Jumahotibor aka Fena, saying
873
00:59:00,199 –> 00:59:03,880
they had concluded all arrangements and made all necessary efforts
874
00:59:03,880 –> 00:59:07,320
to fly the accident victim abroad for the continuation of
875
00:59:07,360 –> 00:59:10,559
her medical treatment, but the company was waiting for her
876
00:59:10,599 –> 00:59:14,199
doctors to certify her fit for air travel. The company
877
00:59:14,239 –> 00:59:18,239
owned by Aliko Dangotte, the Africa richest man according to Forbes,
878
00:59:18,679 –> 00:59:21,159
made the statement in a press release issued a few
879
00:59:21,239 –> 00:59:24,360
minutes ago after the death of the new graduate from
880
00:59:24,400 –> 00:59:28,119
Federal Polytechnic in Auchi was announced by her family through

their lawyer, Barrister Justice schegen Ogunau of Echo Solicitors and Advocates,
882
00:59:33,440 –> 00:59:37,079

Speaker 1: Solomon he g at all As may be the true
1113
01:15:35,479 –> 01:15:38,880
definition of the popular saying that police is your friend
1114
01:15:39,239 –> 01:15:41,920
if only you are a good character police officer. The
1115
01:15:42,039 –> 01:15:46,000
former Inspector General of Police, Solomon E. G. A. Tour As,
1116
01:15:46,359 –> 01:15:50,000
apparently validated the aforesaid statement to be true when his
1117
01:15:50,239 –> 01:15:54,560
death was announced on Sunday, August thirty first, twenty twenty five.
1118
01:15:55,039 –> 01:15:59,239
The death sparked uncommon good words of condolences from many Nigerians.
1119
01:15:59,680 –> 01:16:04,079
Unlike before, millions of Nigerians make negative comments against dead
1120
01:16:04,159 –> 01:16:07,800
top government officials, but in the case of Arasy, millions
1121
01:16:07,840 –> 01:16:11,399
of Nigerians took to their social media pages and comments
1122
01:16:11,479 –> 01:16:15,279
sections to say good things about the IGP that police
1123

as the first Edo son to ascend to the exalted
1244

with uncommon dignity, and in that high office, he served
1246
01:24:46,039 –> 01:24:51,399

with a deep sense of duty to his people. He

land grabbing with firmness and fairness, restoring order, sanity and
1257
01:25:25,119 –> 01:25:29,079
justice to our communities. Doctor Rasay was much more than
1258
01:25:29,119 –> 01:25:32,199
a public servant. He was a man of deep humanity,
1259
01:25:32,640 –> 01:25:36,520
humble yet brilliant, firm yet compassionate, a leader whose life
1260
01:25:36,560 –> 01:25:39,640
reflected his abiding belief in justice and the common good.
1261

you know, and we all try to struggle to make

01:27:26,479 –> 01:27:29,199
sure that you know, we’re able to eak out a living.
1289
01:27:29,800 –> 01:27:32,760
So I want to appeal to all the young men there.
1290
01:27:34,239 –> 01:27:37,119
Whenever these guys call you out to come and you know,
1291
01:27:37,840 –> 01:27:40,920
become destructive, you should also think that they have most
1292
01:27:40,960 –> 01:27:43,720
of their children in the Ivy League schools, you know,
1293
01:27:43,840 –> 01:27:46,000
who are out there, you know, doing their own things,
1294
01:27:46,239 –> 01:27:50,359
so don’t don’t allow yourself to be used. There’s always
1295
01:27:50,479 –> 01:27:51,159

1299
01:28:16,439 –> 01:28:20,039

1300
01:28:20,119 –> 01:28:23,560
fly the accident victim abroad for the continuation of her
1301
01:28:23,640 –> 01:28:27,119
medical treatment, but the company was waiting for her doctors
1302
01:28:27,239 –> 01:28:30,600
to certify her fit for air travel. The company, owned
1303
01:28:30,600 –> 01:28:34,279
by A Leko Dangotte, the Africa richest man according to Forbes,
1304

made the statement in a press release issued a few
1305
01:28:37,319 –> 01:28:40,319
minutes ago after the death of the new graduate from
1306
01:28:40,399 –> 01:28:44,079

1308
01:28:49,399 –> 01:28:53,079
saying the graduan who was knocked down alongside her motorcycle
1309
01:28:53,199 –> 01:28:56,159
rider by a truck owned by Dangotte Group in Auchi
1310
01:28:56,319 –> 01:29:00,000
community earlier this month, passed on exactly six thirty hours
1311
01:29:00,039 –> 01:29:04,239
hours on Sunday. According to Dangotte Group, we are deeply
1312
01:29:04,319 –> 01:29:07,439
saddened by the passing of Ruth Ottobor, who was injured
1313
01:29:07,439 –> 01:29:10,439
in the recent road incident involving one of our trucks
1314
01:29:10,520 –> 01:29:15,159

we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and
1316
01:29:19,720 –> 01:29:23,920
loved ones at this difficult time. Since the accident, our
1317
01:29:24,039 –> 01:29:27,720
officials and insurance partners have been by her side, covering
1318
01:29:27,800 –> 01:29:32,399

1319
01:29:32,479 –> 01:29:34,600
have been made for her to be flown to India
1320
01:29:34,720 –> 01:29:39,720
for advanced treatment, pending medical clearance from her doctors. Sadly,
1321
01:29:40,159 –> 01:29:43,239
despite these efforts and Ruth’s brave fight to live, we
1322
01:29:43,399 –> 01:29:49,159

near au Chipolytechnic in Edo State, where she was struck
1340
01:30:54,359 –> 01:30:57,880

1341
01:30:57,920 –> 01:31:01,399
that the accident occurred barely six days after Ruth celebrated
1342
01:31:01,880 –> 01:31:05,439

1343

A reporters News Media Emiele Sware said the lady’s life
1357
01:31:56,600 –> 01:31:59,960

01:32:00,239 –> 01:32:04,920
truck drivers. In statement issued few minutes after the death announcement,
1359

1366
01:32:28,000 –> 01:32:31,680
future was stolen by the recklessness of a Dangotte truck driver.
1367
01:32:32,560 –> 01:32:35,840
This death was not inevitable. It could have been prevented.
1368
01:32:36,319 –> 01:32:39,199
It could have been avoided if drivers were properly trained,
1369
01:32:39,560 –> 01:32:42,840
if Nigeria’s terrible rogues were fixed, and if after the
1370
01:32:42,920 –> 01:32:47,880
accident there had been timely and humane intervention. Instead, another
1371
01:32:48,000 –> 01:32:51,880
family is left grieving, another young life wasted, and another
1372
01:32:52,000 –> 01:32:55,359
reminder is written in blood that Nigeria continues to fail
1373
01:32:55,399 –> 01:33:00,359
its people while powerful corporation’s escape accountability. May roof soul
1374
01:33:00,479 –> 01:33:03,359

1498
01:41:57,760 –> 01:42:01,880
the Nigerian Railway Corporation NRC, stated in a press release
1499
01:42:01,920 –> 01:42:07,119
signed by its Managing Director, Kiyode Opeifa. NRC had earlier,
1500
01:42:07,199 –> 01:42:10,159
in a statement on Tuesday, said that the train derailed
1501
01:42:10,199 –> 01:42:13,479
around eleven a m at Asham community in Kaduna State.
1502
01:42:14,359 –> 01:42:17,920
Videos made available online by victims of the train accident
1503
01:42:18,039 –> 01:42:21,520
indicated that some of the train coaches overturned as passengers
1504
01:42:21,560 –> 01:42:24,119
and crew members on board stood at the hilling part
1505
01:42:24,199 –> 01:42:27,840
of the bush waiting for rescue. Close observers said that
1506
01:42:27,960 –> 01:42:30,960
the latest train accident adds to the troubled history of
1507
01:42:30,960 –> 01:42:35,279
the Kaduna Abuja rail line, which has experienced several incidents
1508
01:42:35,319 –> 01:42:38,880
in recent years, including the deadly Bandits attack in March
1509
01:42:39,000 –> 01:42:41,279
twenty twenty two that led to the killing of some
1510
01:42:41,439 –> 01:42:43,920
of the passengers on board the train, with many of
1511
01:42:44,000 –> 01:42:47,439
them also kidnapped and held hostage for months till ransom
1512
01:42:47,600 –> 01:42:51,279
was paid. The latest derailment comes just a week after
1513
01:42:51,359 –> 01:42:56,239
the Nigerian Railway Corporation NRC reported another fault on the
1514
01:42:56,319 –> 01:42:59,680
same corridor when one of the train’s coach wheels developed
1515
01:42:59,680 –> 01:43:03,159
a hot to axle near Rigassa station in Kaduna. The
1516
01:43:03,399 –> 01:43:07,319
NRC explained that the fault caused by excessive heat, was
1517
01:43:07,399 –> 01:43:10,600
quickly managed and the train was returned safely to Kaduna.
1518
01:43:11,319 –> 01:43:14,960
In a statement issued on August twenty first, twenty twenty five,
1519
01:43:15,399 –> 01:43:20,039
the NARC had said, the Nigerian Railway Corporation has confirmed
1520
01:43:20,079 –> 01:43:22,800
that one of the coaches wheel on the Abuja Kaduna
1521
01:43:22,920 –> 01:43:28,119
Train Service AKTS experienced hot axle some kilometers to Rigas
1522
01:43:28,359 –> 01:43:32,840
station in Kaduna. The incident, which happened on Wednesday evening,
1523
01:43:32,960 –> 01:43:35,199
is due to hot wheels friction as a result of
1524
01:43:35,239 –> 01:43:39,920
abnormal temperature due to excessive heat on the journal housing. However,
1525
01:43:40,439 –> 01:43:43,840
the situation was immediately brought under control and the train
1526
01:43:44,000 –> 01:43:48,239
marshaled to Kaduna and to safety. Consequent upon this incident,
1527
01:43:48,680 –> 01:43:52,399
the train service will experience some capacity issues which may
1528
01:43:52,479 –> 01:43:56,479
affect some customers booked on the business class. Passengers who
1529
01:43:56,520 –> 01:43:59,479
were booked on the affected coach for Thursday have all
1530
01:43:59,560 –> 01:44:04,000
been concted through the details they provided online. We have
1531
01:44:04,159 –> 01:44:08,520
also made alternative arrangements to accommodate them. The management is
1532
01:44:08,600 –> 01:44:11,640
working to ensure the disruption is minimal and that normal
1533
01:44:11,760 –> 01:44:16,239
service would resume before the afternoon services. We assure all
1534
01:44:16,319 –> 01:44:20,119
our customers and passengers of their safety on our train services,
1535
01:44:20,199 –> 01:44:22,800
as we are determined to continue to provide the best
1536
01:44:22,880 –> 01:44:27,319
travel experience on all our train networks. We apologize and
1537
01:44:27,439 –> 01:44:31,880
regret all the inconvenience, NRC stated in a statement signed
1538
01:44:31,880 –> 01:44:35,079
and made available by Chief Public Relations Officer of the
1539
01:44:35,159 –> 01:44:40,840
Railway Corporation Callistas Honeymadu. Punch newspaper reported on Wednesday that
1540
01:44:40,960 –> 01:44:45,960
while the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Kyode Opeyfer,
1541
01:44:46,079 –> 01:44:49,359
was speaking during an appearance on Channels televisions the morning
1542
01:44:49,439 –> 01:44:53,279
brief Are pay For assured Nigerians that the ongoing investigation
1543
01:44:53,439 –> 01:44:57,760
into the incident would be thorough and transparent. Beyond apologizing
1544
01:44:57,800 –> 01:45:01,439
to Nigerians, I want to state clearly as the Managing
1545
01:45:01,560 –> 01:45:06,159
Director and Chief Executive I take full responsibility when it
1546
01:45:06,279 –> 01:45:10,319
comes to safety. There is no room for indifference. Once
1547
01:45:10,439 –> 01:45:13,880
something like this happens, the chief executive must own it
1548
01:45:14,359 –> 01:45:18,199
and I do, he said. The ND said the injuries
1549
01:45:18,239 –> 01:45:21,600
of four of the Abuja Kaduna train passengers were serious.
1550
01:45:22,359 –> 01:45:25,920
Our paper stated coming to the fatality and the casualties,
1551
01:45:26,319 –> 01:45:30,000
there was no fatality. We thank god that was a
1552
01:45:30,079 –> 01:45:33,000
near miss, because for this kind of accident or incident,
1553
01:45:33,439 –> 01:45:36,159
you see some level of fatality. But we thank God
1554
01:45:36,239 –> 01:45:39,479
for this and for those who were injured. Four are
1555
01:45:39,560 –> 01:45:43,239
serious and another two or so were discharged immediately, and
1556
01:45:43,359 –> 01:45:45,439
we will follow up on those that might still be
1557
01:45:45,560 –> 01:45:48,479
in the hospital. I don’t know as of this moment.
1558
01:45:48,920 –> 01:45:52,000
We’ll follow up. So we’ll also follow up with the
1559
01:45:52,079 –> 01:45:55,319
remaining six hundred and eighteen people on the train because
1560
01:45:55,359 –> 01:45:59,359
of the post traumatic experience. We have the full contacts
1561
01:45:59,399 –> 01:46:03,000
and we’ll do that. He however, said that though the
1562
01:46:03,079 –> 01:46:06,479
incident should not have happened, the NRC would ensure that
1563
01:46:06,560 –> 01:46:10,159
there was no recurrence. I want to assure Nigerians that
1564
01:46:10,239 –> 01:46:13,640
an incident like this is not expected, is not prayed for,
1565
01:46:14,159 –> 01:46:16,960
should not be happening, but where it does, it is
1566
01:46:17,039 –> 01:46:19,920
to bring out the best in US and I assure
1567
01:46:20,000 –> 01:46:22,560
Nigerians that just as we are doing currently on the
1568
01:46:22,640 –> 01:46:26,560
Warrior Tack Pay which he the analyst also mentioned, we
1569
01:46:26,680 –> 01:46:29,560
shut down the Warrior Tack Pay route three weeks ago.
1570
01:46:30,399 –> 01:46:33,359
I ordered the shutdown for safety reasons and if you
1571
01:46:33,439 –> 01:46:35,560
see the level of work the men have been doing
1572
01:46:35,640 –> 01:46:38,079
on the track, cutting it off and replacing it, is
1573
01:46:38,159 –> 01:46:41,399
to make sure things like this don’t happen, he added.
1574
01:46:42,239 –> 01:46:45,720
Asked whether there was any suspicion around sabotage regarding the
1575
01:46:45,840 –> 01:46:49,399
incident ORPEIFA said, it would be premature for me to
1576
01:46:49,479 –> 01:46:52,439
speak on that because that will be undermining the authority
1577
01:46:52,520 –> 01:46:55,800
that is meant to do the investigation. But I want
1578
01:46:55,840 –> 01:46:59,119
to assure Nigerians that our tracks are safe from vandals
1579
01:46:59,199 –> 01:47:03,560
and terrorists. This particular track is being monitored by the military.
1580
01:47:04,000 –> 01:47:07,880
You can see that immediately it the derailment happened within
1581
01:47:08,079 –> 01:47:12,960
five ten minutes. The helicopter was their hovering. The Nigerian
1582
01:47:13,000 –> 01:47:15,560
Air Force and the Nigerian Army are all along this
1583
01:47:15,720 –> 01:47:19,319
corridor and I think for the record, we’ve not had
1584
01:47:19,359 –> 01:47:23,640
any issue of banditry terrorism attack along that corridor, but
1585
01:47:23,800 –> 01:47:27,600
you can’t wish anything away. The investigation will tell us
1586
01:47:27,680 –> 01:47:30,640
what happened, and I wouldn’t want to comment because I’m
1587
01:47:30,680 –> 01:47:35,199
a party to the investigation. The NRC chief executive said
1588
01:47:35,239 –> 01:47:38,239
that NSIV would have to declare the site open for
1589
01:47:38,319 –> 01:47:41,760
reconstruction before the corporation would do a safety audit to
1590
01:47:41,840 –> 01:47:45,520
determine when services on the route would be reopened. The
1591
01:47:45,640 –> 01:47:48,720
first thing that will happen is that the NSIV will
1592
01:47:48,800 –> 01:47:53,239
determine when the site is open for reconstruction. So from
1593
01:47:53,279 –> 01:47:55,760
the time they tell us that it’s ready for reconstruction,
1594
01:47:56,239 –> 01:47:59,560
I don’t see us spending more than thirty days, so
1595
01:47:59,760 –> 01:48:03,720
it depends on when they declare the site opened for reconstruction.
1596
01:48:04,159 –> 01:48:08,800
Opeifa stated. The incident occurred on Tuesday along the Kaduna Corridor,
1597
01:48:08,920 –> 01:48:11,720
shortly after the train left Abuja at about eleven a
1598
01:48:12,000 –> 01:48:15,600
m en route to Kaduna. A passenger on board the
1599
01:48:15,680 –> 01:48:19,800
train described the scene as chaotic, with people scrambling to safety.
1600
01:48:20,640 –> 01:48:24,760
Following the incident, the NRC suspended train operations on the
1601
01:48:24,840 –> 01:48:29,840
Abuja Kaduna route till further notice. Apeifa had, while briefing
1602
01:48:29,960 –> 01:48:34,239
journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, hours after the incident, said
1603
01:48:34,279 –> 01:48:38,319
that some technical staff of the corporation, alongside the Nigeria
1604
01:48:38,399 –> 01:48:43,840
Safety Investigation Bureau NSIB and other relevant agencies were on
1605
01:48:43,920 –> 01:48:47,319
the ground at the train derailment site carrying out an investigation.
1606
01:48:48,239 –> 01:48:51,000
He also dismissed claims that the trains were not in
1607
01:48:51,119 –> 01:48:53,800
good condition and said the refund of the ticket fees
1608
01:48:53,880 –> 01:48:58,079
had been initiated for all passengers on board. In January
1609
01:48:58,159 –> 01:49:01,800
twenty twenty three, an abu Uja Kaduna train derailed in
1610
01:49:01,840 –> 01:49:05,840
the Kugwe area of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, a
1611
01:49:05,960 –> 01:49:09,039
few minutes from its destination Kugwa.
1612
01:49:13,960 –> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 8: Qui.
1613
01:49:17,399 –> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 1: Apparently angered by the continuous mass killings in Imho State.

1692
01:54:38,840 –> 01:54:42,359
reports indicated that Major General Gentle Yao kinsmen from a
1693
01:54:42,439 –> 01:54:45,840
Coup community have distanced themselves from the activities of the
1694
01:54:45,880 –> 01:54:50,520
Biafra fighter. The reports circulated on social media few days
1695
01:54:50,560 –> 01:54:54,079
ago indicated that the people of a Cou Autonomous Community
1696
01:54:54,159 –> 01:54:57,119
in a Kingwei Local Government area of Imhost State have
1697
01:54:57,279 –> 01:55:01,000
publicly dissociated themselves from the criminal act activities linked to
1698
01:55:01,079 –> 01:55:06,079
Afhani Opegl or Cramentales, popularly known as Gentle Devil Yahoo.
1699
01:55:06,800 –> 01:55:09,279
In a statement issued under the banner of the aku
1700
01:55:09,359 –> 01:55:13,479
A Kigwe Restoration Movement, the community condemned what they described
1701
01:55:13,520 –> 01:55:18,680
as years of terrorism, kidnapping, organ harvesting, arson and other
1702
01:55:18,760 –> 01:55:22,359
heinous crimes that have plagued the region for over four years.
1703
01:55:23,199 –> 01:55:26,359
The group stress that Gentle Devil Yahoo’s actions do not
1704
01:55:26,560 –> 01:55:30,279
represent the people of Akup or the wider southeast, dismissing
1705
01:55:30,359 –> 01:55:34,720
claims that he is fighting for the actualization of Biafra. Instead,
1706
01:55:35,119 –> 01:55:38,600
they described him as a devil in human form, feeding
1707
01:55:38,680 –> 01:55:42,840
on human flesh and bringing untold pain and suffering. Residents
1708
01:55:42,960 –> 01:55:46,159
noted that many families have fled their homes since twenty
1709
01:55:46,239 –> 01:55:50,279
twenty one, living in helplessness as a result of repeated attacks,
1710
01:55:51,079 –> 01:55:54,119
They insisted that the time has come for urgent intervention
1711
01:55:54,319 –> 01:55:58,079
from the federal, state and local governments, as well as
1712
01:55:58,159 –> 01:56:03,640
non governmental organizations and philanthropists. Among the pressing needs identified
1713
01:56:03,720 –> 01:56:07,800
by the communitia road construction. They appealed for the opening
1714
01:56:07,840 –> 01:56:11,359
of access roads, noting that the absence of motorable routes
1715
01:56:11,399 –> 01:56:14,960
has made it nearly impossible for security agencies to respond
1716
01:56:15,000 –> 01:56:20,399
to crises. They listed key road networks requiring construction, including
1717
01:56:20,439 –> 01:56:24,359
a hube Aku Yumoaibu Road, a Ku a Moosuahube Road
1718
01:56:24,680 –> 01:56:29,560
and a Ku Lomarra Road. Rehabilitation of public infrastructure, the
1719
01:56:29,640 –> 01:56:33,159
rebuilding of local markets such as in Quo Ureer and
1720
01:56:33,319 –> 01:56:39,119
Yulo nkw Uaku markets. Education and health, the reconstruction of
1721
01:56:39,159 –> 01:56:44,000
Aku Secondary School, Community School, Central Primary School and the
1722
01:56:44,119 –> 01:56:49,119
restoration of Aku Health Center. Provision of essential utilities, the
1723
01:56:49,239 –> 01:56:53,479
installation of electricity, which they said the community has never enjoyed,
1724
01:56:53,760 –> 01:56:57,039
as well as access to clean water. The convener of
1725
01:56:57,079 –> 01:57:02,520
the Aku Restoration Movement, mister Yugochuku Godwin Ike, who signed
1726
01:57:02,560 –> 01:57:06,000
the statement on behalf of the people, emphasized that addressing
1727
01:57:06,079 –> 01:57:09,560
these long neglected infrastructure projects would not only improve the
1728
01:57:09,680 –> 01:57:13,119
quality of life, but also help restore peace and security
1729
01:57:13,279 –> 01:57:17,039
in the troubled area. We urge all stakeholders to support
1730
01:57:17,159 –> 01:57:19,680
us in this critical effort to end in security and
1731
01:57:19,800 –> 01:57:21,560
bring lasting peace to our land.
