00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: Well known human rights activist and a humanitarian Martin’s Vincent

2
00:00:04,559 –> 00:00:09,439
dots aka Veridartman has apparently threatened the media, especially those

3
00:00:09,480 –> 00:00:12,080
he referred to as bloggers, not to use his video

4
00:00:12,279 –> 00:00:15,160
contents on their page and if they do, he would

5
00:00:15,160 –> 00:00:19,120
report the video to the management of social media platforms

6
00:00:19,280 –> 00:00:23,800
like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok among other online platforms the video

7
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:27,280
or videos were published and ensured the video or videos

8
00:00:27,320 –> 00:00:30,760
are broad down or removed. He stated this on Tuesday

9
00:00:30,800 –> 00:00:34,039
noon in a nine minutes video wherein he accused the media,

10
00:00:34,520 –> 00:00:37,640
especially those he referred to as bloggers, of not joining

11
00:00:37,679 –> 00:00:40,439
hands with him and others to launch massive campaign and

12
00:00:40,520 –> 00:00:43,679
awareness when ruth Ottobor was alive, the sister of the

13
00:00:43,679 –> 00:00:48,439
Big Brother Nigeria season seven winner i Juma Ottibor aka Feena,

14
00:00:48,799 –> 00:00:52,439
who allegedly needed more attention and care from Dangotte Group

15
00:00:52,520 –> 00:00:56,560
of company owned by Africa richest man Aliko Dangotte, whose

16
00:00:56,600 –> 00:00:59,960
truck hit rufe Ottebor. Few days after the accident, victim

17
00:01:00,399 –> 00:01:03,920
ruthoto Or rounded off her examinations as a final year

18
00:01:04,040 –> 00:01:08,840
student of Federal Polytechnic in Auchi, but according to Baridotmann,

19
00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:11,879
soon after the death of the accident victim was announced

20
00:01:11,879 –> 00:01:16,599
on Sunday, Bloggers started publishing the news stories massively continuing.

21
00:01:16,920 –> 00:01:21,159
Veridartmund accused Fina of being a greedy person, saying Fina

22
00:01:21,200 –> 00:01:24,200
wrote a demand list of one billion naira to Dangotte

23
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:27,680
even when she has not visited her sister in the

24
00:01:27,760 –> 00:01:30,879
hospital to know the true picture of her condition. In

25
00:01:30,959 –> 00:01:34,400
a swift reaction, a well known sex educator who uses

26
00:01:34,599 –> 00:01:38,719
raw words to pass across her teachings, iziogbeog Bede a

27
00:01:38,840 –> 00:01:42,439
k A Echiaqueen, condemned the act of Veridartmund, saying it

28
00:01:42,560 –> 00:01:45,159
was the alleged greed of Fena that killed her sister,

29
00:01:45,560 –> 00:01:48,760
with Echioquin accusing Veridarkmun of being a liar who is

30
00:01:48,840 –> 00:01:51,920
trying to cause more pains to the bereaved Fena, even

31
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:55,000
when he knows her sister just died less than forty

32
00:01:55,079 –> 00:01:59,439
eight hours ago. Earlier before to day, when the accident victim,

33
00:01:59,640 –> 00:02:03,359
ruthof Dottibor was still alive, Veri Dartmann published a video

34
00:02:03,799 –> 00:02:07,599
narrating how Fena allegedly betrayed him when Dangotte group invited

35
00:02:07,599 –> 00:02:10,919
her for possible settlement. After Veri Dartmann and many others

36
00:02:10,960 –> 00:02:13,879
in the society took to their social media page to

37
00:02:13,960 –> 00:02:18,000
campaign and protest over the Dangotte truck accident, reportedly leading

38
00:02:18,039 –> 00:02:22,719
to immediate amputation of the two legs of the female victim, Ruthottibor.

39
00:02:23,479 –> 00:02:27,520
Veri Dartman said, when Fina got the attention of Dangotte Group,

40
00:02:27,879 –> 00:02:30,479
Fina sent a message to him that the Dangotte Group

41
00:02:30,560 –> 00:02:34,159
requested that they don’t want him, Veri Dartmann in the discussion,

42
00:02:34,879 –> 00:02:37,919
an action Veridartman considered to be that Fina was the

43
00:02:37,919 –> 00:02:41,319
one that betrayed him, apparently because of money. It is

44
00:02:41,439 –> 00:02:44,560
yet to be ascertained if truly the Dangotte Group rejected

45
00:02:44,599 –> 00:02:48,080
verid Artman in the discussion, but if the claim is

46
00:02:48,159 –> 00:02:51,199
confirmed to be true, we believe the Dangotte Group may

47
00:02:51,240 –> 00:02:55,560
have rejected Veridartmann because Veredartman apparently insulted the person and

48
00:02:55,599 –> 00:02:59,639
the personality of Aliko Dangotte, the founder of the Dangotte Group,

49
00:02:59,680 –> 00:03:03,120
while he was protesting over the accident. In the nine

50
00:03:03,120 –> 00:03:07,319
minute video. On Tuesday, Veri Dargmann withdrew his earlier statement

51
00:03:07,400 –> 00:03:10,719
and a threat he had issued that if anything happened

52
00:03:10,719 –> 00:03:13,680
to Fena’s sister, he would travel to Auchi and insure

53
00:03:13,759 –> 00:03:17,680
Dangotte operations were shut down in Auchi. He said on

54
00:03:17,759 –> 00:03:20,680
Tuesday that he would no longer travel to Auchi because

55
00:03:20,719 –> 00:03:25,000
of Fena’s sister, adding that if Dangotte track hit another person,

56
00:03:25,319 –> 00:03:28,159
he would do what he had earlier said. He said

57
00:03:28,159 –> 00:03:31,439
he decided not to travel to out. Solomon Ejigia tour

58
00:03:31,759 –> 00:03:34,599
Rasay may be the true definition of the populace saying

59
00:03:34,639 –> 00:03:37,479
that police is your friend if only you are a

60
00:03:37,479 –> 00:03:41,240
good character police officer. The former Inspector General of Police,

61
00:03:41,599 –> 00:03:46,479
Solomon Ejigia Tour Rasay, apparently validated the aforesaid statement to

62
00:03:46,520 –> 00:03:50,000
be true when his death was announced on Sunday, August

63
00:03:50,120 –> 00:03:54,039
thirty first, twenty twenty five. The death sparked uncommon good

64
00:03:54,080 –> 00:03:58,719
words of condolences from many Nigerians. Unlike before, millions of

65
00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:03,280
Nigerians make nega comments against dead top government officials, but

66
00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:06,599
in the case of Rasay, millions of Nigerians took to

67
00:04:06,639 –> 00:04:10,240
their social media pages and comments sections to say good

68
00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:14,360
things about the IGP that police the Nigeria States between

69
00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:18,920
April twenty fifteen and June twenty sixteen. Even human rights

70
00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:23,199
activists that always talk negative about the Nigeria Police Force.

71
00:04:23,439 –> 00:04:27,040
Like Barrister Adi andju Deji, was among the earliest mourners

72
00:04:27,040 –> 00:04:29,279
on Sunday to be at the residence of the late

73
00:04:29,360 –> 00:04:33,199
IGP to pay a condolence visit with a tribute saying,

74
00:04:33,639 –> 00:04:37,759
may the soul of former IGP Solomon Arasay rest in peace.

75
00:04:38,199 –> 00:04:41,240
In my about twenty years of knowing him, he helped

76
00:04:41,279 –> 00:04:44,639
us get freedom for many student union leaders and comrades

77
00:04:44,639 –> 00:04:48,680
who were unlawfully detained as IGP, and after his retirement,

78
00:04:49,079 –> 00:04:52,079
we remained close and continued to seek his help whenever

79
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:56,000
citizens’ rights were abused. We also observed that many serving

80
00:04:56,120 –> 00:05:01,079
and retired police officers like DCP Aluminima added Jobi had

81
00:05:01,079 –> 00:05:04,279
took to their personal social media accounts to tell the

82
00:05:04,360 –> 00:05:08,480
world how good Solomon Ego tour Rasay was during and

83
00:05:08,600 –> 00:05:12,759
after service. This a Nigerian citizen by name a Luasian

84
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:17,079
Dataio took to the Nigeria Police Force Facebook comments section

85
00:05:17,199 –> 00:05:21,439
and said, hope the current IGP and all other aigps

86
00:05:21,480 –> 00:05:25,720
and diigps and all Nigeria Police Force offices are online

87
00:05:25,759 –> 00:05:29,240
and reading comments. Hopefully we would get something like this

88
00:05:29,399 –> 00:05:31,920
to be written for them too when their own time

89
00:05:32,040 –> 00:05:36,000
comes President Bola Tanubu, in a statement signed by the

90
00:05:36,040 –> 00:05:40,879

95
00:06:00,319 –> 00:06:03,920
as IGP and later as Chairman of the Police Service Commission,

96
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:08,160
brought lasting changes to the force. The President acknowledges the

97
00:06:08,199 –> 00:06:12,040
dedication of the former IGP to enhancing security in the

98
00:06:12,040 –> 00:06:16,120
country through initiatives such as the Intelligence Response Team, the

99
00:06:16,160 –> 00:06:21,519
Complaint Response Unit and Safer Highway patrols. Reflecting on arassays

100
00:06:21,639 –> 00:06:26,120
laudable service to the country, President Danubu remarks Arras served

101
00:06:26,120 –> 00:06:30,160

fly the accident victim abroad for the continuation of her

113
00:07:18,240 –> 00:07:21,759

made the statement in a press release issued a few

117
00:07:31,920 –> 00:07:34,959
minutes ago after the death of the new graduate from

00:07:56,319 –> 00:07:59,600
According to Dangotte Group. We are deeply saddened by the

partners have been by her side, covering all financial and

130

00:08:27,759 –> 00:08:30,439
for her to be flown to India for advanced treatment,

132
00:08:30,879 –> 00:08:35,840

00:09:04,320 –> 00:09:09,120
family lawyer said, we remain solicitors to Ruth Ottebor, Josephine Ottibor,

153
00:09:53,279 –> 00:09:57,159
occurred barely six days after Ruth celebrated of her becoming

00:10:10,759 –> 00:10:13,679
sudden loss has left the Ottagor family and fans in

the events that unfolded between Fena and Veri Dartmanova the matter.
