00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: There is apparent tension in Nigeria over the arrest of

2
00:00:03,080 –> 00:00:08,320
a popular human rights activist, Martin’s Vincent aka Veri Darkmann

3
00:00:08,439 –> 00:00:12,240
or vd M, who was allegedly seized by Nigeria security

4
00:00:12,279 –> 00:00:15,960
operatives in a manner that have kept many wondering suspecting

5
00:00:16,039 –> 00:00:19,800
acts of oppression and intimidation based on threats issued by

6
00:00:19,839 –> 00:00:24,280
the ruling political party All Progressives Congress a PC against

7
00:00:24,320 –> 00:00:28,199
the human rights activist after the activists condemned the Nigeria

8
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:32,640
Senate President, Godswill Actavio for traveling to Vatican in Italy

9
00:00:32,679 –> 00:00:37,000
to attend Pope Francis burial ceremony, while he said the

10
00:00:37,039 –> 00:00:40,600
Senate President has failed to visit states where almost daily

11
00:00:40,600 –> 00:00:46,039
burial ceremonies are often held in some states like Plateau, Bernu, Kuara,

12
00:00:46,359 –> 00:00:49,719
Enugu and Ogan states where gunman bandits are killing the

13
00:00:49,759 –> 00:00:54,439
Senate President fellow citizens in large numbers unabated in recent

14
00:00:54,640 –> 00:00:58,240
time in Nigeria and angered by the talks. The APC

15
00:00:58,439 –> 00:01:03,039
South South Sonal organizing Secretary Blessing agbom Here issued seven

16
00:01:03,119 –> 00:01:07,159
days ultimatum to Aridarkman to apologize to the Senate President,

17
00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:10,879
who led five man federal government delegation to Rome to

18
00:01:10,920 –> 00:01:15,760
attend the late Catholic head funeral ceremony, but immediately Veridartmann

19
00:01:15,799 –> 00:01:18,640
in a video issued the public apology to the victims

20
00:01:18,680 –> 00:01:22,159
of insecurity in the West Africa country and in the

21
00:01:22,239 –> 00:01:25,439
video he further accused and condemned the Senate President and

22
00:01:25,560 –> 00:01:30,879
other Nigeria leaders for being insensitivity to their institutional responsibilities

23
00:01:30,920 –> 00:01:35,799
of protecting lives, saying insecurity killing hundreds of people often

24
00:01:35,879 –> 00:01:39,200
in Nigeria is as a result of leadership failure on

25
00:01:39,319 –> 00:01:41,719
the part of the Senate President and members of the

26
00:01:41,760 –> 00:01:47,200
Bolah Ahmed Tenubu led government and surprisingly, Dejiadiyanju, the lawyer

27
00:01:47,239 –> 00:01:50,840
to the activist, said that Veridartmann was arrested at Guarantee

28
00:01:50,840 –> 00:01:54,319
Trust Bank GTB in Abuja on Friday in a more

29
00:01:54,359 –> 00:01:57,799
dehumanizing manner and after he was trapped at the exit

30
00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:01,280
door at the GTB premises for five five minutes, some

31
00:02:01,439 –> 00:02:04,680
security operatives came and cover his face with a black

32
00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:07,400
cloth before he was led away and for more than

33
00:02:07,480 –> 00:02:11,439
forty eight hours. Nigeria authority is yet to issue statement

34
00:02:11,560 –> 00:02:14,439
over the arrest of the human rights activist, who had

35
00:02:14,479 –> 00:02:17,599
on Friday went with her mother to the GTB Bank

36
00:02:17,719 –> 00:02:22,120
to get clarification over the unauthorised withdrawals constantly done on

37
00:02:22,199 –> 00:02:26,039
his mother savings account, after the activists suspected that someone

38
00:02:26,120 –> 00:02:30,039
may have used his mother national identification number an in

39
00:02:30,159 –> 00:02:34,879
to take loan from the GTB bank. CCTV footage apparently

40
00:02:34,919 –> 00:02:38,159
made available by the bank indicated that Veri Dartmann was

41
00:02:38,240 –> 00:02:41,639
obviously intercepted at the bank exit gate, as he was

42
00:02:41,680 –> 00:02:44,159
seen coming out from a vehicle and entering the bank’s

43
00:02:44,159 –> 00:02:47,360
security house with passersby who were about to enter the

44
00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:50,479
bank banking hall looking back with a feeling of surprise.

45
00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:55,039
The arrest has sparked outrage online and raised questions about

46
00:02:55,080 –> 00:02:58,280
the bank’s alleged complicity in what critics describe as a

47
00:02:58,319 –> 00:03:01,319
targeted crackdown to repress the voice that can speak and

48
00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:06,520
speak louder. According to his legal representative, activist lawyer Degi

49
00:03:06,560 –> 00:03:11,080
Adi Andrew, Veri Dagmann was ambushed by EFCC operatives right

50
00:03:11,199 –> 00:03:16,319
inside GTE Bank premises. In a statement posted online, Adi

51
00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:19,919
Andrew revealed that VDM was trapped inside the bank’s exit

52
00:03:19,960 –> 00:03:22,960
door for over five minutes, a move he claims was

53
00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,039
a deliberate ploy to enable EFCC offices affect the arrest.

54
00:03:27,919 –> 00:03:31,599
VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over

55
00:03:31,680 –> 00:03:35,240
five minutes to enable EFCC arrest him and his friend.

56
00:03:35,599 –> 00:03:39,639
Adi Andrew said, we will be taking legal actions against

57
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:43,159
GTB for the inhumane treatment meted out to our client.

58
00:03:43,960 –> 00:03:47,560
We will issue a public statement soon. Adi Andrew further

59
00:03:47,599 –> 00:03:51,680
disclosed that his legal team, led by Marvin Homorogbe, had

60
00:03:51,719 –> 00:03:55,039
already located the detained activist and were working to secure

61
00:03:55,080 –> 00:03:58,560
his release. Our lawyers, led by the head of our firm,

62
00:03:58,639 –> 00:04:02,639
Marvin Homorogbe, just met VDM’s friend who was arrested together

63
00:04:02,719 –> 00:04:07,599
with him in EFCC custody. VDM refused to come out

64
00:04:07,599 –> 00:04:11,159
of the cell that he won’t see anyone. Adi Andrew said,

65
00:04:11,879 –> 00:04:16,079
we have located VDM and are working on getting him out.

66
00:04:16,839 –> 00:04:19,879
Our lawyers are now with him. He added, it would

67
00:04:19,920 –> 00:04:23,160
be recalled that the South South Sonal Organizing Secretary of

68
00:04:23,199 –> 00:04:28,800
the All Progressives Congress APC, Blessing Agbob here Esquire has

69
00:04:28,879 –> 00:04:33,160
worn the social media influencer Martin’s Vincent OTTs, popularly known

70
00:04:33,199 –> 00:04:37,000
as Darkmann, to immediately tender an unreserved apology to the

71
00:04:37,040 –> 00:04:40,399
President of the Senate and number three Citizen of Nigeria,

72
00:04:40,879 –> 00:04:45,319
Senator Godswill Acpabio, following what he described as OS’s unwarranted

73
00:04:45,360 –> 00:04:48,439
and slanderous verbal attack on the person of Acpabo for

74
00:04:48,560 –> 00:04:52,000
leading a five man federal government delegation to the funeral

75
00:04:52,040 –> 00:04:55,319
of Pope Francis at the Vatican. In a three minute

76
00:04:55,439 –> 00:05:00,000
viral video on social media, Veri Dargmann described Acpabio’s vision

77
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:03,199
to Rome as shameful, insisting that the President of the

78
00:05:03,240 –> 00:05:06,480
Senate lacked the morals standing to attend the Pope’s funeral

79
00:05:06,560 –> 00:05:10,839
when he would have used less time to visit Banu, Plateau, Kwara,

80
00:05:11,279 –> 00:05:14,480
Hogan and Enugu states that are currently bedeviled by large

81
00:05:14,480 –> 00:05:18,160
scale insecurity as a result of attacks by marauding herdsman

82
00:05:18,240 –> 00:05:21,439
which has led to the death of scores of innocent Nigerians.

83
00:05:22,240 –> 00:05:26,279
The South South Zonal Organizing Secretary of the APC issued

84
00:05:26,279 –> 00:05:29,920
a stern warning to Beidarkman, urging him to desist from

85
00:05:29,959 –> 00:05:34,560
slandering law abiding and critical stakeholders in Project Nigeria, all

86
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:38,759
in the name of activism. This individual, known as Veridarkman,

87
00:05:38,879 –> 00:05:43,079
is now notorious for blackmail, slander and character assassination while

88
00:05:43,120 –> 00:05:46,439
pretending to be an advocate for the masses and social crusader.

89
00:05:47,160 –> 00:05:50,199
The unwarranted verbal attack on the President of the Senate

90
00:05:50,279 –> 00:05:54,319
is yet another of such aimless, baseless and uninformed diatribe,

91
00:05:54,519 –> 00:05:58,079
this time targeted at the number three citizen of Nigeria,

92
00:05:58,160 –> 00:06:01,040
who did not send himself to own but was duly

93
00:06:01,079 –> 00:06:04,600
nominated by President Bola Tanubu to lead a strong five

94
00:06:04,720 –> 00:06:08,920
man delegation to represent Nigeria at the Pope’s funeral. What

95
00:06:09,120 –> 00:06:12,480
exactly is wrong in that? Being a devout Catholic and

96
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:17,120
family man with unblemished character, President Tanubu saw in Akpavio

97
00:06:17,199 –> 00:06:20,160
a worthy ambassador of Nigeria to such an event as

98
00:06:20,199 –> 00:06:23,199
the Pope’s funeral and wasted no time in thrusting that

99
00:06:23,360 –> 00:06:27,839
responsibility on him. Just like the scriptures admonished Christians to

100
00:06:27,920 –> 00:06:30,639
celebrate with those that are celebrating and to mourn with

101
00:06:30,720 –> 00:06:34,560
those that are bereaved, the Nigerian delegation, led by Akpavio

102
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:37,040
joined the rest of the world to mourn the passing

103
00:06:37,079 –> 00:06:39,720
of the head of the Catholic Church. What is wrong

104
00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:44,279
in that? I am with this statement issuing Varidargmann a

105
00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:48,120
one week ultimatum to immediately tender an unreserved apology to

106
00:06:48,199 –> 00:06:51,040
the President of the Senate for the slanderous comments and

107
00:06:51,120 –> 00:06:54,279
to desist from further bringing the integrity of the President

108
00:06:54,360 –> 00:06:58,160
Bola to Nubu led administration into disrepute in the eyes

109
00:06:58,199 –> 00:07:02,639
of the global community. The statement read in parts, agbam

110
00:07:02,759 –> 00:07:06,839
Here urged Nigerians to ignore the uninformed granting of Varidakman,

111
00:07:07,279 –> 00:07:10,800
adding that the current administration is working assiduously behind the

112
00:07:10,839 –> 00:07:14,240
scene to tackle the pervasive insecurity across the country which

113
00:07:14,240 –> 00:07:19,240
it inherited from previous administrations. Upon his return from France

114
00:07:19,279 –> 00:07:23,360
and the United Kingdom, President Tanubu met with security chiefs

115
00:07:23,360 –> 00:07:25,959
and during the meeting, he gave the marching orders to

116
00:07:26,079 –> 00:07:28,839
ensure that a different approach is deployed in the fight

117
00:07:28,879 –> 00:07:32,000
against insecurity. Does this sound like a man who is

118
00:07:32,040 –> 00:07:35,759
not serious about protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.

119
00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:40,199
Mind you, the complex security problems in the country cannot

120
00:07:40,240 –> 00:07:42,680
be wished away with a wave of the hand. It

121
00:07:42,720 –> 00:07:45,120
takes time to achieve as semblance of peace and that

122
00:07:45,240 –> 00:07:48,319
is a commitment that the Tanubu led administration made to

123
00:07:48,399 –> 00:07:52,040
Nigerians while assuming office and is still committed to achieving.

124
00:07:52,399 –> 00:07:57,600
The statement concludes the Senate President led delegation which included

125
00:07:57,680 –> 00:08:03,360
Minister biancho odemegu Juk and prominent clerics like Archbishop’s Lucius Ugurgi,

126
00:08:03,879 –> 00:08:08,600
Matthew Kakhar and Ignacious Kaigamma, delivered to Nubu’s condolences to

127
00:08:08,639 –> 00:08:11,800
the Vatican following the Pope’s death on April twenty first,

128
00:08:11,839 –> 00:08:15,480
twenty twenty five, a day after he led Easter mass.

129
00:08:15,920 –> 00:08:19,439
President Tanubu, who hailed the late pope as a humble

130
00:08:19,519 –> 00:08:24,000
servant of God and tireless champion of the poor, stated

131
00:08:24,040 –> 00:08:28,040
his passing post Easter symbolizes a sacred return to his maker,

132
00:08:28,399 –> 00:08:32,759
offering hope to Christians globally. A Nigerian wrote on social

133
00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:36,759
media account that the APC’s fiery rebuttal failed to quell

134
00:08:36,840 –> 00:08:40,919
public outrage, with critics accusing the ruling party of prioritizing

135
00:08:40,919 –> 00:08:45,720
optics over action. Complex security problems can’t be wished away

136
00:08:45,799 –> 00:08:49,000
with a wave of the hand, the party conceded, even

137
00:08:49,039 –> 00:08:52,799
as it doubled down on silencing Baridatman. With the clock

138
00:08:52,879 –> 00:08:57,240
ticking on the apology deadline, Nigeria’s political arena braces for

139
00:08:57,279 –> 00:09:00,559
a showdown. Will the influence about a pressure all will

140
00:09:00,639 –> 00:09:04,200
this spark a broader revolt against perceived government in sensitivity.

141
00:09:04,960 –> 00:09:08,759
