00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,759
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police PAUST has disagreed with Ammesty International on the

2
00:00:03,839 –> 00:00:06,599
claim of thirteen protesters killed in the ongoing en Bad

3
00:00:06,639 –> 00:00:10,800
governance protests in Nigeria, only attributing the killing of protesters

4
00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:13,560
to accidents and swapped terrorists at ack which it put

5
00:00:13,599 –> 00:00:16,120
the total death figure at seven as at detO of

6
00:00:16,120 –> 00:00:19,320

00:00:26,399 –> 00:00:30,000

00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:33,359

00:00:41,079 –> 00:00:44,520
Nigeria Police Pause in the statement issued on Saturday indicated

14
00:00:44,560 –> 00:00:47,119
that two protesters were killed by his and rown driver.

15
00:00:48,000 –> 00:00:51,119

l whom you are at a jobie reads below in

26
00:01:24,760 –> 00:01:29,079
flodes the Nigeria Police Force times is necessary to refute

27
00:01:29,079 –> 00:01:33,120
a recent report publicized by Amnesty International which claims that

28
00:01:33,159 –> 00:01:36,719
thirteen thirteen individuals have lost their lives due to the

29
00:01:36,760 –> 00:01:39,959
protests in Nigeria that began on the first of August.

30
00:01:39,680 –> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four.

31
00:01:41,359 –> 00:01:46,439
Speaker 1: Amnesty International further alleges that security personnel deliberately employed tactics

32
00:01:46,480 –> 00:01:49,680
designed to kill while managing gatherings and use firearms as

33
00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:51,799
a tactical tool for protest management.

34
00:01:52,680 –> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: The Nigeria Police Force wishes to.

35
00:01:54,680 –> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Provide an accurate account of incidents from the first two

36
00:01:58,079 –> 00:02:03,079
days of the nationwide protests. In bonnustet four four individuals

37
00:02:03,079 –> 00:02:06,359
thus their lives and thirty four thirty four were severely

38
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:10,080
injured in a terrorist attack by suspected bokoharam Is swap

39
00:02:10,120 –> 00:02:13,599
elements who infiltrated the crowd of protesters and detonated and

40
00:02:13,719 –> 00:02:19,199
improvised exclusive device wide. Additionally, an incident occurred involving an

41
00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:23,199
unregistered under free LUCA that ran into the protesters, resulting

42
00:02:23,240 –> 00:02:27,360
in the deaths of two civilians. The driver abandoned the

43
00:02:27,479 –> 00:02:31,159
vehicle and fled the scene. Although the vehicle was vandalized

44
00:02:31,199 –> 00:02:34,319
after the incident, it has been recovered and is currently

45
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:37,800
in police cost body efforts are all going to trust

46
00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:41,319
the driver and bring him to justice. There was another

47
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:45,759
incident reported in Yaari in Yari Local Government area of Kreviystate,

48
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:48,639
where a group of individuals mobilized to loose a shot.

49
00:02:49,400 –> 00:02:52,400
In the process, a local vigilante man shot and killed

50
00:02:52,439 –> 00:02:55,960
one of the looters. The Commissioner of Police in charge

51
00:02:55,960 –> 00:03:00,479
of Keevistats is currently investigating the incidents. This brings the

52
00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:04,240
total number of death recorded during the protests to seven.

53
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:07,280
It is important to state that there were no other

54
00:03:07,319 –> 00:03:10,719
recorded fatalities during the protests apart from those mentioned a

55
00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:16,319
l However, incidences of armed robbery, assen mischief, looting of

56
00:03:16,360 –> 00:03:20,879
public institutions and private businesses destructions of both public and

57
00:03:20,960 –> 00:03:25,120
private property were recorded during the protests. Arrests were met

58
00:03:25,199 –> 00:03:28,039
with respect to these criminal incidences and a number of

59
00:03:28,080 –> 00:03:31,199
recoveries made from these suspects while the protest was going on.

60
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:35,199
The Nigeria Police personnel deployed to manage the protests have

61
00:03:35,319 –> 00:03:37,599
acted professionally, refraining from.

62
00:03:37,479 –> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Using lethal weapons.

63
00:03:39,520 –> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: In instances where protesters became rioters, the police employed tiagers

64
00:03:43,840 –> 00:03:47,759
to disperse them, even when our officers on lawful duty

65
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:52,639
were attacked and injured. Play police affected arrests using only tigers,

66
00:03:52,680 –> 00:03:54,960
demonstrating utmost restrends.

67
00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: In an efforts to combat the trend of.

68
00:03:56,960 –> 00:04:00,479
Speaker 1: Crimes and criminality, the police have arrested it total of

69
00:04:00,520 –> 00:04:04,000
six hundred and eighty one six at one individuals who

70
00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:08,639
committed various criminal offenses such as ambrowbury, passing, mischief and

71
00:04:08,759 –> 00:04:14,080
destructions of both public and private property. Dangerous weapons including

72
00:04:14,120 –> 00:04:18,560
to eighteen forty seven rifles and assorted life ammunition were

73
00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:23,560
recovered from the so called protesters. Additionally, stolen items such

74
00:04:23,600 –> 00:04:28,560
as furniture, electronics, foms, other various shop items and vital

75
00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:33,120
infrastructures worth billions of Nira were recovered from the arrested persons.

76
00:04:33,680 –> 00:04:37,959
Contrary to circulating news, organizers of the protests or protesters

77
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:42,319
were not arrested. Those in police custody are under investigation

78
00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:47,720
for clear connections to criminal activities. Furthermore, nine nine police

79
00:04:47,759 –> 00:04:50,759
officers sustained various degrees of injuries.

80
00:04:50,399 –> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: During attacks by protesters.

81
00:04:52,759 –> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: One of them who initially was reported deare miraculously survived

82
00:04:56,519 –> 00:05:00,560
but remains in critical condition. They all going through has

83
00:05:00,560 –> 00:05:05,240
obviously turned violence. We therefore advised while abiding citizens taking

84
00:05:05,279 –> 00:05:08,399
part in the protests across the country to immediately withdraw

85
00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:12,120
from it. This a price becomes necessary in view of

86
00:05:12,160 –> 00:05:15,000
the violence that has characterized the protests in the last

87
00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:19,480
two days. It is reasonably expected that peaceful protesters would

88
00:05:19,480 –> 00:05:23,000
have withdrawn from the protest that has turned violence. The

89
00:05:23,120 –> 00:05:26,879
Nigeria Police Force is committed to providing accurate information and

90
00:05:27,079 –> 00:05:30,399
ensuring the safety and security of all citizens during these

91
00:05:30,439 –> 00:05:34,920
challenging times. It is essential to recognize that the strategic

92
00:05:35,000 –> 00:05:38,480
deployment by the Nigeria Police Pause in collaboration with other

93
00:05:38,519 –> 00:05:43,199
security agencies, and the decisive complown on criminal elements exploiting

94
00:05:43,240 –> 00:05:46,879
the protest for unlawful activities has been highly effective in

95
00:05:46,959 –> 00:05:50,240
coal intension and cabbing the violence and anarchy witness on

96
00:05:50,319 –> 00:05:54,160
the first day of the protests. During this challenging period,

97
00:05:54,319 –> 00:05:57,720
the Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its commitments to performing its

98
00:05:57,759 –> 00:06:02,160
lawful duties with professionalism, maintaining law and order and preventing

99
00:06:02,199 –> 00:06:06,639
anarchy throughout the country. The Nigeria Police urges all citizens

100
00:06:06,639 –> 00:06:11,439
and residents to disregard unfounded and psychologically manipulative reports circulating

101
00:06:11,519 –> 00:06:15,959
about incidents during these protests. We had earlier reported on

102
00:06:16,000 –> 00:06:19,720
Friday that over twenty persons, including nineteen protesters and one

103
00:06:19,759 –> 00:06:21,839
policeman who are on first they are killed in soft

104
00:06:21,839 –> 00:06:23,480
states as the nationwide.

105
00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: And bad governance protests began in Nigeria. Most of the

106
00:06:26,879 –> 00:06:28,040
dead victims.

107
00:06:27,639 –> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Were killed by security operators as more than two hundred

108
00:06:30,720 –> 00:06:33,959
protesters were arrested across the country with billions of narra

109
00:06:34,079 –> 00:06:37,360
wos of goods and properties destroyed by their grieved Nigerians

110
00:06:37,399 –> 00:06:40,199
us to the street following what many called under in

111
00:06:40,240 –> 00:06:42,399
the land due to the high cost living by being

112
00:06:42,439 –> 00:06:45,120
more hard in the countries since President but Latin Book

113
00:06:45,160 –> 00:06:48,839
came into power on May twenty nine, twenty twenty three.

114
00:06:48,879 –> 00:06:52,759
Since Tymbo came into power, prices of foodstuffs have continued

115
00:06:52,759 –> 00:06:55,319
to be on the increased side, apparently due to some

116
00:06:55,399 –> 00:06:59,360
political decisions the presidents suit to address the economic situation

117
00:06:59,519 –> 00:07:01,639
in the const ride from the day he was sworn

118
00:07:01,639 –> 00:07:05,839
into power. Vidos and official statements from various states in

119
00:07:05,879 –> 00:07:09,240
the country on Thursday indicated that three protesters were killed

120
00:07:09,240 –> 00:07:12,360
in Carnustads, six killed in Nijer States, three killed in

121
00:07:12,439 –> 00:07:16,000

00:07:16,000 –> 00:07:20,000
and four protesters were killed allegedly by bomb explosion in Bonustads.

123
00:07:20,839 –> 00:07:24,040
Some Nigerians on social media believed the four persons in

124
00:07:24,040 –> 00:07:27,399
Bonustet were killed by security operatives, but the Inspector of

125
00:07:27,480 –> 00:07:30,680
General of Police AGT at the press briefing on Thursday

126
00:07:30,720 –> 00:07:34,759
evening said the protesters were killed by bomb exclusion. The

127
00:07:34,879 –> 00:07:39,079
four protesters were killed at Barori junction along Bagar Road

128
00:07:39,120 –> 00:07:43,240
in Bannustad. The IIGT said one police officer was modeled

129
00:07:43,279 –> 00:07:46,439
with several others injured by some protesters he described as

130
00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:50,000
would loose. It was either that now fewer than fifty

131
00:07:50,040 –> 00:07:53,759
persons in Katsinasteds suspected to be responsible for the hijack

132
00:07:53,800 –> 00:07:56,079
of the protests in the state which led to virulence

133
00:07:56,199 –> 00:07:59,639
have been arrested by the State Police command. The State

134
00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:04,319
Police public relations officer Algobaka Sadi told journalists on Thought

135
00:08:04,360 –> 00:08:06,959
Dead that the states is relatively calm as the protest

136
00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:11,360
has been concerned. Nigeria Police Force confirms it had arrested

137
00:08:11,399 –> 00:08:14,600
over one hundred and fifty seven persons in candles steads.

138
00:08:15,319 –> 00:08:19,199
Amnesty International has condemned the killing of protesters allegedly by

139
00:08:19,279 –> 00:08:25,120
security personnel across Nigeria, describing the incidents as unjustified and unacceptable.

140
00:08:25,839 –> 00:08:29,839
Inspect of General of Police, Kyode Adele Whu abtokunduring the

141
00:08:29,879 –> 00:08:32,639
press briefing, said in quotesess it is with great sense

142
00:08:32,679 –> 00:08:36,200
of responsibility that I address you this evening. You will

143
00:08:36,240 –> 00:08:39,600
recall that, upon several indications by various groups of their

144
00:08:39,639 –> 00:08:42,320
intent to commence a nationwide protest on the first of

145
00:08:42,360 –> 00:08:45,679
August twenty twenty four, we rolled out several warnings based

146
00:08:45,679 –> 00:08:49,679
on actionable intelligence at our disposal, indicating that some groups

147
00:08:49,720 –> 00:08:52,720
were mobilizing our youth for violent protests with intents to

148
00:08:52,759 –> 00:08:56,279
create anarchy in the country, while some groups came in

149
00:08:56,360 –> 00:08:59,240
to be mobilizing for peaceful protests. We’re doing so with

150
00:08:59,360 –> 00:09:03,200
violent ones refusing to cooperate with the police, ownedagers to

151
00:09:03,279 –> 00:09:07,120
be taken to guarantee peaceful protests. On the basis of

152
00:09:07,120 –> 00:09:10,279
these intelligence, the police advised that the protests should be

153
00:09:10,320 –> 00:09:14,240
shelved at the instant time. Where the organizers insisted on

154
00:09:14,360 –> 00:09:16,799
going on with the protests, they were advised to state

155
00:09:16,879 –> 00:09:20,759
the protests and confined locations. This would have enabled the

156
00:09:20,799 –> 00:09:24,399
police provide adequate protection for the protesters and isolate the

157
00:09:24,440 –> 00:09:27,320
criminals whose intention was to loose and destroy in the

158
00:09:27,399 –> 00:09:28,440
name of a protest.

159
00:09:29,240 –> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: This we were doing in furtherance.

160
00:09:30,840 –> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Of our duty to protect lives and property and maintaining

161
00:09:34,039 –> 00:09:37,840
law and order. While we affirmed the constitutional rights of

162
00:09:37,919 –> 00:09:41,000
citizens to assemble and express their views on issues of

163
00:09:41,120 –> 00:09:44,399
national importance, we were worry about the dangers posed by

164
00:09:44,440 –> 00:09:48,559
agitation instigated by some individuals who have shown tendencies to

165
00:09:48,559 –> 00:09:53,000
be disloyal to the government of the day. Despite our suspicions,

166
00:09:53,080 –> 00:09:56,600
we showed good firth through professional conduct by providing security

167
00:09:56,679 –> 00:10:01,240
at strategic locations all aimed as ensuring peaceful during the protest.

168
00:10:01,320 –> 00:10:05,320
As the promoter’s pledge, our amended Pollit nationwide went out

169
00:10:05,360 –> 00:10:07,399
with a clear brief to ensure that no one is

170
00:10:07,440 –> 00:10:12,279
unnecessarily harassed or intimidated. In places where there were caught orders,

171
00:10:12,360 –> 00:10:16,919
we gave instructions for observance of sem Regrettably, events in

172
00:10:17,000 –> 00:10:20,240
some major cities to theassued that what was being instigated

173
00:10:20,360 –> 00:10:24,320
was mass uprising and looting, not protests. Those who were

174
00:10:24,360 –> 00:10:26,919
in the forefront of promoting the idea of the protests

175
00:10:26,960 –> 00:10:30,320
were not around to leave it. Kudenoos have been led

176
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:33,399
to use on innocent Nigerians and their handerned businesses and

177
00:10:33,519 –> 00:10:38,120
property rooted and destroyed. The motive of varietors was basically

178
00:10:38,200 –> 00:10:42,279
to root and destroy both private and government property. The

179
00:10:42,440 –> 00:10:45,840
destruction so far has been mind boggling. There has been

180
00:10:45,879 –> 00:10:51,720
destruction in Cano, Beru, Yobe, Kadduna, Gumbey, Bachhi, Fcity, Abuja,

181
00:10:52,000 –> 00:10:56,600
Niger Jegawa. Police stations have been destroyed. There has been

182
00:10:56,679 –> 00:11:01,159
attempts to take over government houses, looting of government infrastructures.

183
00:11:01,360 –> 00:11:04,360
Several warehouses and shops have so far been looted and

184
00:11:04,600 –> 00:11:09,200
in several instances completely destroyed. In spite of the refusal

185
00:11:09,279 –> 00:11:12,360
of the protesters, for instance in f City, to adhere

186
00:11:12,399 –> 00:11:15,000
to a court or their requesting that protests in Abuja

187
00:11:15,039 –> 00:11:17,840
should be at the National Stadium. The troops into the

188
00:11:17,879 –> 00:11:21,559
streets and yet the police provided security for them at

189
00:11:21,600 –> 00:11:25,039
no point. Day We break here fundamental rites, even as

190
00:11:25,080 –> 00:11:28,840
the breached court order. In classes like f City, Carduna,

191
00:11:29,039 –> 00:11:33,039
Canoe and Gombert, among others, we recorded incidents of unprovoked

192
00:11:33,080 –> 00:11:36,840
attacks on security personnel where one policeman has been reported

193
00:11:36,919 –> 00:11:40,759
modered and others seriously injured. We are lettered earlier on

194
00:11:40,840 –> 00:11:43,559
that terror elements may take advantage of the protest to

195
00:11:43,639 –> 00:11:48,639
infiltrate the crowd of protesters with suicide bombers. Yesterday, in Legos,

196
00:11:48,679 –> 00:11:51,600
our un Day team was informed of a suspected idea

197
00:11:51,600 –> 00:11:55,480
on Bank Anthony with Igeja. The team responded swiftly and

198
00:11:55,559 –> 00:11:58,600
rendered itself what turned out to be an improvised exclusive

199
00:11:58,639 –> 00:12:02,919
device wife Together in Busted, we recorded one incident of

200
00:12:03,039 –> 00:12:06,120
explosion which accord in the crowd of protesters killing four

201
00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:09,759
instantly and severely injuring thirty four others, many of whom

202
00:12:09,799 –> 00:12:11,440
are presently on danger lists.

203
00:12:12,240 –> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: We wish to advise law abiding.

204
00:12:14,080 –> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: Citizens of Nigeria to hid and not dismiss warnings given

205
00:12:17,399 –> 00:12:20,320

206
00:12:20,360 –> 00:12:24,840
on credible and actionable security intelligence. In the light of

207
00:12:24,879 –> 00:12:28,360
the current situation, the Nigeria Police Force has clearsed all

208
00:12:28,440 –> 00:12:29,679

214
00:12:43,799 –> 00:12:47,399
Speaker 2: Across the nation. Groups who are hiding under the guise of.

215
00:12:47,480 –> 00:12:51,039
Speaker 1: Exercise of a right provided in the Constitution to destabilize

216
00:12:51,080 –> 00:12:54,200
the country should remember that the same constitution impoes on

217
00:12:54,320 –> 00:12:56,480
them the duty to obey the laws of the land

218
00:12:56,480 –> 00:13:00,120
and respect the rights of other citizens. The Police is

219
00:13:00,120 –> 00:13:03,639
equipped to respond appropriately to the unfolding situation and will

220
00:13:03,639 –> 00:13:07,759
get assistance from other security agencies, including the military, if

221
00:13:07,759 –> 00:13:11,320
the need arises. We are killed to all citizens to

222
00:13:11,360 –> 00:13:14,360

priority and we will continue to take all necessary imagers

to ensure continued peace and stability in our country.

226
00:13:26,080 –> 00:13:26,519
Speaker 2: Thank you.

227
00:13:26,759 –> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: The igpiece started the director of Mobilization Check is Back Movement,

228
00:13:31,799 –> 00:13:35,799
the Amlaria Agennola said the protest would continue until President

229
00:13:35,919 –> 00:13:40,200
Golla Tmabo acceded to their demands. The protesters said they

230
00:13:40,240 –> 00:13:43,039
are demanding the reversal of petual comp price to one

231
00:13:43,080 –> 00:13:46,120
hundred narras their litter and and two in security, the

232
00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:48,960
closing of idity camps, and electoral.

233
00:13:48,440 –> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: Reform, among other things.

234
00:13:50,879 –> 00:13:54,519
Speaker 1: Adenola said the various orders of count restricting protesters to

235
00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:59,080
particular locations are an aberration. Our presence here today is

236
00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:01,600
an announcement that we have been oppressed for the law.

237
00:14:02,399 –> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: So deare we have reason?

238
00:14:04,240 –> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: We are saying that unless President Balatinogo acceded to our demands,

239
00:14:08,399 –> 00:14:11,559
we will remain on the streets. We want to see

240
00:14:11,559 –> 00:14:14,879
the president on the streets during the protest, he was

241
00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:18,120
on the streets. One of the organizers of the protest,

242
00:14:18,320 –> 00:14:21,960
Michael Lenning, said it would continue on Friday to get

243
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:26,519
regardless of the intimidation by the security agencies. He told

244
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:30,320
reporters that the protest will continue. We are not intimidated

245
00:14:30,360 –> 00:14:33,879
by what the security agencies do. This government does not

246
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:36,679
appear like one ready to listen to the citizens. With

247
00:14:36,759 –> 00:14:40,320
the way protesters we’re attacked today, we are resolute.

248
00:14:40,440 –> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Until we meet our demands.

249
00:14:42,159 –> 00:14:47,759
Speaker 1: We will remain on the streets day in
