the last three weeks, lamenting the repeated distress, US calls

90
00:06:00,560 –> 00:06:04,839

00:06:04,879 –> 00:06:08,279
the local and state governments for help, but nothing concrete

92
00:06:08,319 –> 00:06:12,240

due to its editorial policy, it would not publish the image. Soon,

170
00:16:35,159 –> 00:16:38,559
the image of the kidnap brigadier general became available to

171
00:16:38,600 –> 00:16:42,559
some media through a mag news agency publication that claimed

172
00:16:42,600 –> 00:16:47,039
that the brigadier general was executed shortly after being interrogated

173
00:16:47,120 –> 00:16:50,879
by the Icewap terrorists. The imag only presented a photo

174
00:16:50,960 –> 00:16:55,240
evidence of the brigadier general being captured, but any material

175
00:16:55,279 –> 00:16:59,200
evidence if the Brigadier General has been killed was not provided.

176
00:16:59,600 –> 00:17:03,960
Following the apparent unfortunate development in the Nigeria army community.

177
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:08,680
Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar on Monday, in

178
00:17:08,720 –> 00:17:12,799
a statement personally signed called on President Bola Ahmed Tanubuta

179
00:17:12,839 –> 00:17:16,319
admitting competence and the President should either ask for help

180
00:17:16,440 –> 00:17:20,319
or tended a letter of resignation immediately. According to the

181
00:17:20,359 –> 00:17:25,079
former Nigeria Vice President, Atiku abu Baka, I am deeply

182
00:17:25,119 –> 00:17:28,240
saddened and extremely shocked and disturbed by news making the

183
00:17:28,319 –> 00:17:31,440
rounds of the killing of Brigadier General Musa Uber by

184
00:17:31,559 –> 00:17:34,880
terrorists and the failure of the military hierarchy to clearly

185
00:17:34,920 –> 00:17:38,279
explain how it happened or what went wrong, as initial

186
00:17:38,279 –> 00:17:42,079
official denials indicated that this was not the case. This

187
00:17:42,200 –> 00:17:45,519
for me is unequivocally a failure of political leadership, as

188
00:17:45,519 –> 00:17:49,319
the President seems only more interested in decimating the opposition

189
00:17:49,519 –> 00:17:53,119
by all means possible while forgetting his crucial role as

190
00:17:53,160 –> 00:17:57,480
commander in chief of our armed forces. General Mus’s death,

191
00:17:57,519 –> 00:17:59,640
along with the deaths of some of the troops he

192
00:17:59,720 –> 00:18:02,119
was leading, is one death to many in a bold

193
00:18:02,200 –> 00:18:06,559
terrorist resurgence. Our dear country cannot afford. I urge all

194
00:18:06,640 –> 00:18:10,000
citizens and our military leaders to take heart as even

195
00:18:10,039 –> 00:18:15,119
this season shall pass away. To mister President, the security

196
00:18:15,119 –> 00:18:18,279
of the lives of our people is your primary responsibility

197
00:18:18,319 –> 00:18:20,079
and you must live up to it or be humble

198
00:18:20,200 –> 00:18:24,039
enough to admit incompetence and either ask for help or resign.

199
00:18:24,880 –> 00:18:27,599
If I were president, I would order the military to

200
00:18:27,640 –> 00:18:31,359
occupy Borno’s State or any state under siege by bandits

201
00:18:31,440 –> 00:18:35,319
or armed groups until they clear those areas. We must

202
00:18:35,359 –> 00:18:37,640
care enough for the men and women who put their

203
00:18:37,640 –> 00:18:40,559
lives on the line for our sake. I offer my

204
00:18:40,680 –> 00:18:44,799
condolences to the Nigerian Armed Forces, the family of the bereaved,

205
00:18:44,839 –> 00:18:48,960
and indeed to all Nigerians. May this dark period pass

206
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:53,279
over us as a nation sooner than later. Premium Times,

207
00:18:53,279 –> 00:18:57,160
in later report on Monday evening, stated that the brigade

208
00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:01,839
commander M m Uber, earlier declared by the Nigerian Army

209
00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:05,680
after fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province is

210
00:19:05,920 –> 00:19:10,359
SWAP ambushed his team along the Dambo Abue axis in

211
00:19:10,440 –> 00:19:14,559
Borno State, has now been reported dead. The terror group

212
00:19:14,839 –> 00:19:18,759
ICEWAP has announced that it captured mister Uber and killed him.

213
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:22,440
The group also shared photos to prove its criminal act.

214
00:19:22,880 –> 00:19:27,880
Pr Nigeria, a news platform close to security agencies, also

215
00:19:27,960 –> 00:19:31,200
confirmed that the general was kidnapped and killed after military

216
00:19:31,240 –> 00:19:35,039
authorities thought he was safe after surviving the initial ambush.

217
00:19:35,559 –> 00:19:40,039
On Sunday, citing a humangle story, Premium Times reported that

218
00:19:40,079 –> 00:19:44,119
mister Uber was kidnapped after ICEWAP terrorists ambushed his team

219
00:19:44,200 –> 00:19:49,079
alongside operatives of the Civilian Joint Task Forced CJTF on

220
00:19:49,200 –> 00:19:53,759
Friday night. The army, however, denied that he was kidnapped

221
00:19:53,799 –> 00:19:57,480
and said he was safe after soldiers successfully repelled the ambush.

222
00:19:58,240 –> 00:20:02,359
ICEWAP claims it executed mister Uber in an Arabic statement

223
00:20:02,440 –> 00:20:06,680
published in its propaganda newsletter magazine, A mack I Swap

224
00:20:06,759 –> 00:20:09,839
senate had captured mister Uber and executed him after he

225
00:20:09,960 –> 00:20:14,680
was interrogated. The twenty sixteen breakaway faction of Boco Harrim

226
00:20:14,759 –> 00:20:18,240
attached to picture collage of mister Uber showing when he

227
00:20:18,319 –> 00:20:21,559
was in office and when he was captured, a picture

228
00:20:21,599 –> 00:20:24,359
of the brigade commander from inside his office, and a

229
00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:27,480
picture of him after he was captured by the Islamic State.

230
00:20:27,839 –> 00:20:31,920
The group captured the picture Islamic State fighters over through

231
00:20:31,960 –> 00:20:35,400
a senior officer in the Nigerian Army after a successful

232
00:20:35,440 –> 00:20:39,000
ambush on a military force in Borno, the group said,

233
00:20:39,359 –> 00:20:42,480
adding that the commander was captured after he fled from

234
00:20:42,519 –> 00:20:46,599
the Wajiiko attack. ICEWAP said as soon as it received

235
00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:49,960
until that mister Uber had escaped, a unit of fighters

236
00:20:50,319 –> 00:20:53,400
set out to search for him and succeeded in capturing

237
00:20:53,440 –> 00:20:56,799
him on Saturday near a village after he was wounded.

238
00:20:57,519 –> 00:21:01,279
The purported picture of his capture shows Miss Uber’s camouflage

239
00:21:01,319 –> 00:21:05,720
stained with blood around his legs. IESWAP said it interrogated

240
00:21:05,799 –> 00:21:09,319
mister Uber before killing him on the spot. The terror

241
00:21:09,319 –> 00:21:13,440
group further taunted the Nigerian Army, describing its statement as

242
00:21:13,480 –> 00:21:18,880
an outright lion a miserable security failure. Pr Nigeria reports

243
00:21:18,920 –> 00:21:22,519
that mister Uber earlier confirmed his safety to his superiors

244
00:21:22,559 –> 00:21:26,240
after an aerial operation that helped him escape the ICEWAP attack,

245
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:30,119
but the event took a tragic turn. Reports of his

246
00:21:30,240 –> 00:21:33,960
location compelled the terrorists to track him down, leading to

247
00:21:34,000 –> 00:21:38,039
his capture and subsequent summary execution after an interrogation. The

248
00:21:38,079 –> 00:21:43,599
platform reported mister Uber’s killings, according to experts, marked the

249
00:21:43,640 –> 00:21:46,519
first time the insurgents would kill an officer with such

250
00:21:46,559 –> 00:21:50,480
a high rank. His killing was blamed on insecure military

251
00:21:50,480 –> 00:21:56,160
communications within the Northeast Theater pr Nigeria, reported Hume Angle

252
00:21:56,240 –> 00:21:59,720
in an earliest news report on Monday morning, stated that

253
00:22:00,160 –> 00:22:04,200
the Nigerian Army’s statement that Brigadier General M. Muber the

254
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:08,759
Brigade Commander twenty five Task Force Brigade, successfully led troops

255
00:22:08,759 –> 00:22:12,759
back to base after an ambush last Friday, November fourteenth

256
00:22:13,039 –> 00:22:17,319
in the Dambo area of Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, has

257
00:22:17,359 –> 00:22:21,559
been challenged by an exclusive, verified image obtained by Hume Angle.

258
00:22:22,279 –> 00:22:26,400
The image shows the senior officer alive but held by insurgents,

259
00:22:26,480 –> 00:22:31,319
contradicting the military’s official account. The ambush by ICEWAP fighters

260
00:22:31,359 –> 00:22:34,599
on a joint military and Civilian Joint Task Force c

261
00:22:34,880 –> 00:22:38,519
j TF convoy on View Road resulted in the deaths

262
00:22:38,519 –> 00:22:41,640
of several soldiers and c j t F members, with

263
00:22:41,759 –> 00:22:46,440
the general’s whereabouts initially reported as unknown. Hume Angle’s early

264
00:22:46,519 –> 00:22:49,519
report cited sources on the ground who said the general

265
00:22:49,599 –> 00:22:53,160
was abducted during the attack. We later reported that he

266
00:22:53,240 –> 00:22:56,559
had escaped on foot and returned to base after several

267
00:22:56,599 –> 00:23:00,920
security sources insisted on this. The nigeria An Army also

268
00:23:01,000 –> 00:23:04,799
issued a statement denying the abduction, insisting the general had

269
00:23:04,839 –> 00:23:08,480
safely led his men back too Bason that the incident

270
00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:13,559
was an ambush causing casualties but no kidnapping. However, the

271
00:23:13,640 –> 00:23:16,880
military provided no evidence to back this claim at the time.

272
00:23:17,680 –> 00:23:21,119
A verified image Humanngle has seen shows the commander in

273
00:23:21,160 –> 00:23:24,640
the custody of ICEWAP insurgents with the gunshot wound to

274
00:23:24,680 –> 00:23:30,319
the leg. Verification was carried out through detailed frame analysis, geolocation,

275
00:23:30,480 –> 00:23:35,000
cross checking, and confirmation from independent security sources familiar with

276
00:23:35,079 –> 00:23:38,799
the region and the incident. The image shortly after the

277
00:23:38,839 –> 00:23:43,519
ambush shows the general surrounded by armed fighters, appearing fatigued

278
00:23:43,559 –> 00:23:47,920
but alive. Hume Angle, in line with our editorial policies,

279
00:23:48,319 –> 00:23:51,359
has made the editorial decision not to publish the picture.

280
00:23:52,119 –> 00:23:56,720
This new evidence directly challenges the army’s public statement, highlighting

281
00:23:56,759 –> 00:24:01,400
a significant discrepancy in the information being shared about frontline realities.

282
00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:06,519
The contradictory accounts raise concerns about communication gaps within the

283
00:24:06,559 –> 00:24:10,759
military and the potential consequences of misinformation for public trust

284
00:24:10,799 –> 00:24:15,200
and operational security. The capture of a serving commander marks

285
00:24:15,240 –> 00:24:18,359
a rare and serious development in the ongoing conflict with

286
00:24:18,480 –> 00:24:23,759
insurgent groups in Nigeria’s northeast. In recent months, ICEWAP has

287
00:24:23,799 –> 00:24:28,440
intensified attacks around Damboa and the wider Borno region, escalating

288
00:24:28,480 –> 00:24:33,240
the dangers faced by both military personnel and civilians. Security

289
00:24:33,279 –> 00:24:36,559
analysts who reviewed the image described the abduction as both

290
00:24:36,599 –> 00:24:40,440
an operational setback and a symbolic blow to Nigerian forces

291
00:24:40,559 –> 00:24:45,039
fighting the insurgency. Families of soldiers deployed in the area

292
00:24:45,119 –> 00:24:49,240
have expressed frustration and anxiety over the conflicting reports about

293
00:24:49,240 –> 00:24:53,359
their loved one safety. Efforts to secure fresh comments from

294
00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:56,920
the Nigerian Army have been ongoing, but as a publication,

295
00:24:57,400 –> 00:24:59,759
no new statement has been issued addressing them.

aircraft as the plane was about to depart from a

304
00:25:37,279 –> 00:25:40,920

release issued and made available by the airlines public relations

306
00:25:44,640 –> 00:25:50,119
Officer Chibui k Uloka, the United Nigeria Airlines confirms that

307
00:25:50,160 –> 00:25:55,200
an altercation occurred between two passengers identified as Martin’s Vincentotts

308
00:25:55,559 –> 00:26:00,480
Veridogman and Freedom og Patriots Aspoy mister Joloff during the

00:26:03,799 –> 00:26:06,920
a Saber International Airport on the morning of the seventeenth

311
00:26:07,000 –> 00:26:11,279
of November twenty twenty five. In full compliance with global

312
00:26:11,319 –> 00:26:16,400
aviation safety protocols, our crew responded immediately and professionally to

313
00:26:16,440 –> 00:26:21,079
deescalate the situation. Both passengers were deboarded without delay to

314
00:26:21,240 –> 00:26:25,319
ensure the safety, comfort and security of all other passengers

315
00:26:25,319 –> 00:26:29,279
and crew members. They were subsequently handed over to airport

316
00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:34,680
security for further investigation. United Nigeria Airlines places the highest

317
00:26:34,680 –> 00:26:38,480
priority on safety and maintains a zero tolerance policy for

318
00:26:38,559 –> 00:26:41,680
any conduct that threatens the security or well being of

319
00:26:41,759 –> 00:26:46,599
passengers or crew. After all standard procedures were completed, the

320
00:26:46,680 –> 00:26:50,279
flight departed safely, while the passengers involved in the altercation

321
00:26:50,440 –> 00:26:54,359
were still with the authorities. We remain firmly committed to

322
00:26:54,440 –> 00:26:59,519
providing a safe, respectful, and secure travel experience across our network.

323
00:27:00,279 –> 00:27:03,599
Videos made online by co passengers on the plane showed

324
00:27:03,720 –> 00:27:08,160
Veridarkman threatening to slap mister Joloff, and mister Joloff advanced

325
00:27:08,160 –> 00:27:10,759
towards him in a manner that was initially and apparently

326
00:27:10,839 –> 00:27:14,200
perceived by others inside the plane as a joke, until

327
00:27:14,240 –> 00:27:17,720
the situation escalated into a mild rawle as crew members

328
00:27:17,759 –> 00:27:21,279
and passengers tried to intervene. It is gathered that the

329
00:27:21,319 –> 00:27:24,799
fight occurred as a result of misunderstanding both had Since

330
00:27:24,880 –> 00:27:28,960
twenty twenty four we’rein Verdarkman had reportedly vowed to attack

331
00:27:29,039 –> 00:27:34,039
mister Joloff anytime, anywhere. Shortly after the fight, Verdarkman, in

332
00:27:34,079 –> 00:27:37,440
a video statement, said that Idon chop Joloff father for
