#Issues #Aguata #Anambra #Azuka #FishMagnet #Ihiala #oba #Okoye ©August 7th, 2025 ®August 7, 2025 5:57 am Anambra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom, specifically, our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Onitsha-Owerri Federal road in Anambra state, especially between Oba community and Ihiala town, as we gathered that, most victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small and medium-sized business owners who most of whom struggled out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders, this, we learnt, there maybe no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala-Orlu road left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers, while in Oba, wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions are paid in silence to the kidnappers, according to members of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the Oba New Road and Old Road junctions shortly after he visited his building construction site, while we also learnt that some people in the state do report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with their friends or co-traders, it may interest you to know that, the Anambra State Police Command recently arrested a 24-year-old male suspect, Muanaenye Victor, for allegedly luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang in Uli, Ihiala local government area of the state and they reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to ₦5.3 million with his gang members, just as gunmen in a not too long distance time, abducted a lawyer and two other persons in Nkpologwu, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra, in addition to previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Ebere Orji by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the new Oba-Nnewi road in Idemili South Local government area of Anambra State, with the number of those killed at the Porsche Nightclub said to be seven but one of the security operatives was beheaded, and another had his foot cut off and made away with by the invading deadly kidnappers, this occurred shortly after, a well known native doctor or witch doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu a.k.a Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki was kidnapped, after his two personal aides killed in the vicinity of his hotel at Oba community before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all, on May 21, 2022, shortly after Professor Chukwuma Soludo was sworn in as governor, gunmen abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata 2 Constituency in the state House of Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye, Okoye, also known as “Okey di okay”, represented Soludo’s state constituency, Isuofia, Okoye was killed and beheaded alongside his aide, Cyril Chiegboka, six days after they were abducted along Aguluzigbo Road, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, and their heads and bodies dumped along a roadside in the state, and in December 2024, another lawmaker in the state House of Assembly was kidnapped and killed, and the victim, the lifeless body of the member representing Onitsha North 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the 2nd Niger Bridge, with Azuka’s lifeless body, said to be already decomposing was found by a joint team of security operatives 44 days after he was kidnapped on December 24, 2024, along the Ugwunaobankpa Road in Inland Town, Onitsha, while returning home for Christmas, and the most prominent among the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state, is Martins Onyekesi well known as Fish Magnet, the kidnapping and subsequent killing of the young small business owner sparked protest and public awareness like never before, with a social right activist, Martins Otse a.k.a VeryDarkMan coming to the state earlier on Sunday and led a protest walk on Tuesday which was tagged Candlelight Procession march in honour of Fish Magnet, one of the most recent vict

00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls
2
00:00:04,960 –> 00:00:08,320
with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United
3
00:00:08,359 –> 00:00:12,320
States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will
4
00:00:12,359 –> 00:00:15,000
meet with him next week Friday in the U S
5
00:00:15,000 –> 00:00:18,719
state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the
6
00:00:18,719 –> 00:00:21,239
White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of
7
00:00:21,359 –> 00:00:25,440
territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically
8
00:00:25,480 –> 00:00:28,239
saying we will get some back and we will get
9
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:30,920
some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to
10
00:00:30,960 –> 00:00:34,280
the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently
11
00:00:34,359 –> 00:00:38,479
drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who
12
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:42,159
have issued series of video and written press releases since
13
00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:46,399
President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will
14
00:00:46,439 –> 00:00:48,920
not see any of its territory to Russia for the
15
00:00:48,960 –> 00:00:52,200
purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that
16
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:56,399
it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory
17
00:00:56,479 –> 00:00:59,880
in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders were
18
00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:03,960
without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war
19
00:01:04,079 –> 00:01:07,920
with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path
20
00:01:07,959 –> 00:01:11,400
to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine.
21
00:01:11,799 –> 00:01:15,159
This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and
22
00:01:15,239 –> 00:01:19,719
a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position,
23
00:01:20,120 –> 00:01:24,959
cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump,
24
00:01:25,359 –> 00:01:29,159
the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the
25
00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:33,640
United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia
26
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,719
will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five,
27
00:01:38,159 –> 00:01:42,000
in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow.
28
00:01:42,319 –> 00:01:45,599
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in
29
00:01:45,640 –> 00:01:49,400
a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have
30
00:01:49,519 –> 00:01:52,920
not heard any partners express doubts about America’s ability to
31
00:01:53,079 –> 00:01:56,599
ensure that the war ends. The President of the United
32
00:01:56,640 –> 00:02:00,920
States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported
33
00:02:00,959 –> 00:02:06,280
all of President Trump’s proposals starting back in February cease fire,
34
00:02:06,719 –> 00:02:10,240
all formats have been supported. What is needed now is
35
00:02:10,280 –> 00:02:13,759
not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece,
36
00:02:14,599 –> 00:02:17,719
not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,
37
00:02:17,960 –> 00:02:22,360
but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully
38
00:02:22,400 –> 00:02:25,240
support it. There must be a just end to the war,
39
00:02:25,599 –> 00:02:27,560
and it is Russia that must end the war it
40
00:02:27,639 –> 00:02:31,759
started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of
41
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:34,120
the need for a cease fire, for an end to
42
00:02:34,159 –> 00:02:38,439
the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.
43
00:02:38,919 –> 00:02:41,639
His only card is the ability to kill, and he
44
00:02:41,719 –> 00:02:44,120
is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the
45
00:02:44,199 –> 00:02:47,919
highest possible price. It is important that this does not
46
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:51,319
mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader’s level,
47
00:02:51,759 –> 00:02:55,719
dignified results, results that will save lives that the world
48
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:58,199
will value and for which it will be grateful to
49
00:02:58,240 –> 00:03:02,879
the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin’s tactics.
50
00:03:03,280 –> 00:03:06,520
He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.
51
00:03:06,919 –> 00:03:09,639
He wants to exchange appalls in the war in the
52
00:03:09,719 –> 00:03:13,120
killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.
53
00:03:13,599 –> 00:03:16,560
He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,
54
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,280
Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to
55
00:03:20,319 –> 00:03:24,639
the occupation in Daniesk and Luhnsk regions. He received no
56
00:03:24,800 –> 00:03:28,719
preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.
57
00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:31,800
This led to the full scale war and the occupation
58
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:35,639
of even more parts of Ukraine. Now Putin wants to
59
00:03:35,639 –> 00:03:39,680
be forgiven for seizing the south of our curson region Zaporigia,
60
00:03:40,080 –> 00:03:44,240
the entire territory of Luhansk and Danyesk regions, and Crimea.
61
00:03:44,680 –> 00:03:47,919
We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine,
62
00:03:48,280 –> 00:03:51,280
knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be
63
00:03:51,319 –> 00:03:55,039
a third. That is why we stand firm on clear
64
00:03:55,159 –> 00:03:58,840
Ukrainian positions. We must end the war with a dignified
65
00:03:58,879 –> 00:04:03,960
peace based on a clear and reliable security architecture. Our
66
00:04:04,039 –> 00:04:06,759
partners are ready to help us with this. We have
67
00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:09,439
just had a report from our team in the UK
68
00:04:09,960 –> 00:04:14,360
from Andrew Yermick. There were talks among the security representatives
69
00:04:14,360 –> 00:04:18,720
of the US and Europe, Ukraine, the US Vice President, Vance,
70
00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:26,040
the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Poland. The meeting was constructive.
71
00:04:26,319 –> 00:04:29,240
The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together
72
00:04:29,319 –> 00:04:33,720
with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint
73
00:04:33,720 –> 00:04:37,920
approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a
74
00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:42,959
consolidated position, cease fire, end of occupation, end of war.
75
00:04:43,360 –> 00:04:46,360
Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace.
76
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:50,000
Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are
77
00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:53,439
without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace,
78
00:04:54,240 –> 00:04:58,199
they will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They
79
00:04:58,199 –> 00:05:02,319
are unworkable decisions, and we all need real and genuine peace,
80
00:05:02,839 –> 00:05:07,160
peace that people will respect. President Trump announced preparations for
81
00:05:07,240 –> 00:05:10,639
his meeting with Putin in Alaska, very far away from
82
00:05:10,639 –> 00:05:14,480
this war which is raging on our land against our people,
83
00:05:14,759 –> 00:05:18,279
and which anyway can’t be ended without us without Ukraine.
84
00:05:18,839 –> 00:05:21,680
Putin did not believe in our people and therefore made
85
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:25,399
the hopeless decision to try to take Ukraine. This was
86
00:05:25,399 –> 00:05:29,720
his main mistake, not taking Ukrainians into account. I believe
87
00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:34,560
in our people. Ukrainians are strong. Ukrainians defend what’s theirs.
88
00:05:34,920 –> 00:05:38,079
Many in the world have sided with Ukraine during the war.
89
00:05:38,519 –> 00:05:40,879
Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is
90
00:05:40,920 –> 00:05:44,839
doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for
91
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:49,600
what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace, but
92
00:05:49,759 –> 00:05:53,680
all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This
93
00:05:53,759 –> 00:05:56,519
war must be brought to an end, and Russia must
94
00:05:56,680 –> 00:05:59,800
end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out,
95
00:06:00,160 –> 00:06:04,079
ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.
96
00:06:04,839 –> 00:06:08,360
The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in
97
00:06:08,399 –> 00:06:12,480
the constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this
98
00:06:12,959 –> 00:06:16,399
and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not
99
00:06:16,519 –> 00:06:19,319
give their land to the occupier. We are ready to
100
00:06:19,399 –> 00:06:23,040
work together with President Trump, together with all our partners,
101
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:27,639
for realand most importantly lasting peace, a piece that will
102
00:06:27,680 –> 00:06:31,399
not collapse because of Moscow’s desires. I thank all our
103
00:06:31,439 –> 00:06:35,160
people for being together. Ukraine is I thank all our
104
00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:40,079
soldiers for preserving our independence. Stand firm. This is our land.
105
00:06:40,399 –> 00:06:44,079
We are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. There is already a
106
00:06:44,120 –> 00:06:47,360
lot of support and it comes in the new circumstances.
107
00:06:47,680 –> 00:06:50,279
With a deadline now set for Russia to cease fire.
108
00:06:51,079 –> 00:06:53,879
So far we see that the Russians are ignoring it,
109
00:06:54,240 –> 00:06:58,120
at least for now. Today has once again brought killings
110
00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:01,360
and Russian shelling. Over a hun hundred strike drones were
111
00:07:01,399 –> 00:07:05,120
launched overnight against Ukraine, followed during the day by air
112
00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:08,560
bomb strikes, intense assaults on the front line, and yet
113
00:07:08,560 –> 00:07:12,120
more air raid alerts in our cities and communities. No
114
00:07:12,360 –> 00:07:15,040
orders to stop have been given to the Russian Army.
115
00:07:15,439 –> 00:07:18,399
We are speaking with our partners to ensure real steps
116
00:07:18,399 –> 00:07:22,959
are taken. We are in constant communication with the American side,
117
00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:26,639
and our partners, for their part, are also engaging with
118
00:07:26,720 –> 00:07:30,560
the United States. All are united in the understanding that
119
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:33,199
there is a chance to achieve at least a cease fire,
120
00:07:33,519 –> 00:07:36,319
and that everything depends on the right pressure on Russia.
121
00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:40,920
I had a good conversation with President of Finland Alexander Staff.
122
00:07:41,319 –> 00:07:44,839
We are coordinating positions for the most productive joint work
123
00:07:44,920 –> 00:07:49,000
with America. It is important that America has the determination
124
00:07:49,160 –> 00:07:51,800
and the ability to end the war, and we welcome
125
00:07:51,839 –> 00:07:55,600
President Trump’s desire to stop the killings. To respond to
126
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:59,519
Russia’s intention to prolong the war and seize territorial spoils,
127
00:08:00,120 –> 00:08:05,399
must act wisely and in coordination. Thank you for your support, Alexander.
128
00:08:05,879 –> 00:08:09,839
Ukraine and Finland have the longest borders with Russia in Europe,
129
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:13,040
and our people know very well what threats this brings.
130
00:08:13,839 –> 00:08:17,399
We agreed to continue working together for our common security.
131
00:08:17,839 –> 00:08:21,319
I spoke with uk Prime Minister kir Starmer. I am
132
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:24,439
grateful for the support. We share the same view on
133
00:08:24,519 –> 00:08:27,160
the need for a truly lasting piece for Ukraine and
134
00:08:27,199 –> 00:08:30,079
on the danger of Russia’s plan to reduce everything to
135
00:08:30,160 –> 00:08:34,360
discussing the impossible. Clear steps are needed as well as
136
00:08:34,399 –> 00:08:38,440
maximum co ordination between US and our partners. We value
137
00:08:38,480 –> 00:08:42,399
the determination of the United Kingdom, the United States, and
138
00:08:42,519 –> 00:08:45,799
all our partners to end the war. We are actively
139
00:08:45,840 –> 00:08:49,480
working for constructive diplomacy and to ensure that the decisions
140
00:08:49,519 –> 00:08:53,840
can work. We agreed on further contacts. I spoke with
141
00:08:53,960 –> 00:08:57,879
Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez. I am grateful for
142
00:08:57,919 –> 00:09:01,559
Spain’s support for Ukraine and our Pea. I informed about
143
00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:05,600
the diplomatic situation and our contacts with partners, and shared
144
00:09:05,639 –> 00:09:08,399
our vision of what the next steps should be. The
145
00:09:08,519 –> 00:09:11,000
main thing now is to ensure that Russia does not
146
00:09:11,120 –> 00:09:15,399
once again impose its unrealistic conditions on anyone. It is
147
00:09:15,480 –> 00:09:19,159
important that Pedro and I share the same view. Europe’s
148
00:09:19,240 –> 00:09:23,039
voice must be taken into account. We are coordinating our
149
00:09:23,080 –> 00:09:26,600
common European position. We are ready to move as quickly
150
00:09:26,639 –> 00:09:30,720
and constructively as possible toward a just piece. We also
151
00:09:30,799 –> 00:09:36,039
discussed Ukraine’s path toward European integration. Ukraine has fulfilled all
152
00:09:36,120 –> 00:09:39,000
its obligations and is fully ready to open the first
153
00:09:39,039 –> 00:09:44,120
negotiating cluster. We discussed possible options and will look for solutions.
154
00:09:44,559 –> 00:09:48,080
We agreed to stay in touch. Thank you. I spoke
155
00:09:48,159 –> 00:09:51,879
with President of France Emmanuel Macron. I am grateful for
156
00:09:51,960 –> 00:09:56,960
the support. We exchanged views on the diplomatic situation Ukraine,
157
00:09:57,159 –> 00:09:59,879
France and all our partners are ready to work as
158
00:10:00,039 –> 00:10:03,600
productively as possible for the sake of real peace. It
159
00:10:03,679 –> 00:10:06,639
is truly important that the Russians do not succeed in
160
00:10:06,720 –> 00:10:10,360
deceiving anyone again. We all need a genuine end to
161
00:10:10,399 –> 00:10:14,039
the war and reliable security foundations for Ukraine and other
162
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:19,600
European nations. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Denmark Metafredericksen.
163
00:10:20,039 –> 00:10:23,519
I am grateful for the support. We discuss the diplomatic
164
00:10:23,639 –> 00:10:28,639
situation and communication with partners both hours and metas these
165
00:10:28,759 –> 00:10:33,639
days diplomatic activity is extremely high. However, we see no
166
00:10:33,799 –> 00:10:37,480
changes in Russia’s position. The Russians still refuse to stop
167
00:10:37,519 –> 00:10:40,639
the killings, still invest in the war, and still push
168
00:10:40,720 –> 00:10:45,600
the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory with
169
00:10:45,759 –> 00:10:49,799
consequences that guarantee nothing accept more favorable positions for Russia
170
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:53,320
to resume the war. All our steps must bring us
171
00:10:53,360 –> 00:10:56,879
closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration,
172
00:10:57,720 –> 00:11:01,720
and our joint decisions with partners must serve our common security.
173
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:05,720
We also discussed with Meta our work toward EU membership
174
00:11:06,000 –> 00:11:09,120
and the progress on this path for both Ukraine and Moldova.
175
00:11:09,759 –> 00:11:11,799
We share the same view on the need for a
176
00:11:11,879 –> 00:11:15,080
fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for Ukraine and
177
00:11:15,120 –> 00:11:27,080
Moldova together. Thank you, Binni. Nigeria Police Force has refuted
178
00:11:27,080 –> 00:11:31,360
claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter’s publisher,
179
00:11:31,639 –> 00:11:35,799
Amile Saware inside cell after the media personnel honored the
180
00:11:35,840 –> 00:11:39,360
invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General
181
00:11:39,360 –> 00:11:43,759
of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation
182
00:11:43,840 –> 00:11:46,960
of characters, with the police stating in a press release
183
00:11:47,039 –> 00:11:50,480
signed and made available after the detained media publisher was
184
00:11:50,519 –> 00:11:54,919
released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside
185
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:58,000
other personal items when he came to the station to
186
00:11:58,080 –> 00:12:02,000
honor the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal
187
00:12:02,080 –> 00:12:06,200
investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured
188
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:09,840
as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the
189
00:12:09,919 –> 00:12:13,600
Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand
190
00:12:13,679 –> 00:12:15,960
he had claimed he suffered as a result of the
191
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:20,639
police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the
192
00:12:20,679 –> 00:12:24,919
time Sware was released on Friday night, bandages were still
193
00:12:24,960 –> 00:12:27,559
seen wrapped around one of his hands, a scene in
194
00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:30,399
the video while he was coming out from the IGP
195
00:12:30,720 –> 00:12:35,360
Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as
196
00:12:35,360 –> 00:12:39,360
stated by Sware in the video. Shortly after his release
197
00:12:39,399 –> 00:12:43,919
from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday,
198
00:12:44,320 –> 00:12:47,759
Saware posted on his social media handles and said that
199
00:12:48,159 –> 00:12:51,320
freedom is never given. It is not a gift from
200
00:12:51,320 –> 00:12:54,759
the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor.
201
00:12:55,480 –> 00:12:58,799
It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and
202
00:12:58,840 –> 00:13:02,399
with collective will. Those who sit in power never give
203
00:13:02,440 –> 00:13:05,960
it up willingly. That’s why we take it back, because
204
00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:08,440
freedom is ours and we will fight until it is
205
00:13:08,480 –> 00:13:12,840
no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force,
206
00:13:12,879 –> 00:13:16,000
in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five,
207
00:13:16,039 –> 00:13:20,039
and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police
208
00:13:20,039 –> 00:13:23,440
Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave
209
00:13:23,519 –> 00:13:27,159
of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest
210
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:31,480
and detention of mister on Yale Saware, a figure known
211
00:13:31,519 –> 00:13:35,799
for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state
212
00:13:35,879 –> 00:13:39,759
institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector
213
00:13:39,879 –> 00:13:44,799
General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister
214
00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:50,519
Sirware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal
215
00:13:50,519 –> 00:13:55,240
offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under
216
00:13:55,279 –> 00:13:59,600
active investigation. The arrest was effected in full compliance with
217
00:13:59,639 –> 00:14:04,559
extrame and legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards,
218
00:14:04,799 –> 00:14:08,840
due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear,
219
00:14:09,240 –> 00:14:13,080
Mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight
220
00:14:13,120 –> 00:14:17,200
hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section
221
00:14:17,279 –> 00:14:21,200
thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of
222
00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:25,320
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. He is fully
223
00:14:25,320 –> 00:14:28,200
aware of the nature of the allegations against him and
224
00:14:28,279 –> 00:14:32,039
has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected
225
00:14:32,080 –> 00:14:35,120
to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the
226
00:14:35,120 –> 00:14:38,080
coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful
227
00:14:38,159 –> 00:14:43,159
and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is
228
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:47,519
the narrative suggesting that mister Sare was tortured or subjected
229
00:14:47,519 –> 00:14:51,240
to any form of inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody.
230
00:14:51,919 –> 00:14:55,720
The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero tolerance policy for
231
00:14:55,799 –> 00:14:59,200
torture in alignment with the provisions of the Anti Torture
232
00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:03,879
Act twenty seventeen and in fulfillment of Nigeria’s obligations under
233
00:15:03,919 –> 00:15:08,679
applicable international human rights instruments. The viral image of mister
234
00:15:09,159 –> 00:15:12,559
s Ware with a bandaged arm has been mischievously presented
235
00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:16,960
to mislead the public and stir unwarranted outrage. For the record,
236
00:15:17,279 –> 00:15:20,320
the bandage was part of his personal belongings at the time.
237
00:15:20,399 –> 00:15:23,759
He honored the police’s invitation prior to his arrest and
238
00:15:23,840 –> 00:15:28,159
detention in any case, Upon receiving the report that mister
239
00:15:28,679 –> 00:15:32,399
s Ware was later seen wearing the bandage while in custody,
240
00:15:32,759 –> 00:15:36,519
the Inspector General of Police promptly ordered an internal investigation
241
00:15:36,639 –> 00:15:39,559
to ascertain how he had access to it during detention,
242
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:43,879
particularly in light of his consistent refusal to undergo medical
243
00:15:43,919 –> 00:15:48,399
examination by the independent teams deployed by the police. This
244
00:15:48,519 –> 00:15:54,679
proactive step underscores the igp’s unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism
245
00:15:54,919 –> 00:15:59,480
and strict adherents to established custodial protocols. In the spirit
246
00:15:59,519 –> 00:16:03,639
of accountability and transparency, the Force promptly responded to the
247
00:16:03,639 –> 00:16:07,519
claims of brutality by dispatching a medical team led by
248
00:16:07,559 –> 00:16:11,320
the medical Director of the Mahammadu Buhari Police Hospital to
249
00:16:11,399 –> 00:16:14,879
conduct an independent examination. On the seventh of August twenty
250
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:20,799
twenty five. Mister Sirware declined the evaluation. A second medical team,
251
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:24,279
this time led by the Force Medical Officer, was sent
252
00:16:24,360 –> 00:16:27,279
on the eighth of August twenty twenty five, and again
253
00:16:27,679 –> 00:16:32,799
access was denied by the suspect. These refusals are officially documented.
254
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:37,240
While the police respect the individual’s right to decline medical assessment,
255
00:16:37,679 –> 00:16:40,879
the record must show that the opportunity for independent medical
256
00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:46,440
verification was twice provided and twice rejected. Furthermore, his continued
257
00:16:46,440 –> 00:16:49,720
detention is not arbitrary. It is anchored on a valid
258
00:16:49,799 –> 00:16:54,159
remand order issued by a competent court of jurisdiction. Every
259
00:16:54,240 –> 00:16:57,320
action taken by the Nigeria Police Force in this matter
260
00:16:57,399 –> 00:17:01,679
has been underpinned by legal authority devoid of malice, bias
261
00:17:01,960 –> 00:17:06,839
or political undertones. The Force urges the media, civil society
262
00:17:06,880 –> 00:17:11,200
actors and the public to exercise greater diligence, restraint and
263
00:17:11,279 –> 00:17:17,440
professional responsibility in their reporting. Sensationalism, particularly when driven by
264
00:17:17,480 –> 00:17:21,400
those with personal vendettas against the police leadership, poses a
265
00:17:21,440 –> 00:17:25,480
clear risk to public trust and the integrity of ongoing investigations.
266
00:17:26,240 –> 00:17:29,960
The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the
267
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:33,319
protection of human rights, respect for the rule of law,
268
00:17:33,599 –> 00:17:37,880
and the pursuit of justice without fear or favor. No individual,
269
00:17:38,440 –> 00:17:43,440
regardless of their status, influence, or social media reach, is
270
00:17:43,519 –> 00:17:47,039
above the law. Further updates on this matter will be
271
00:17:47,079 –> 00:17:51,680
provided as investigations proceed in accordance with due process. We
272
00:17:51,799 –> 00:17:54,960
had reported that the human rights activist and founder of
273
00:17:55,000 –> 00:18:00,720
Sahaa Reporters News Network, Emiele Saware, has been reportedly unhandled
274
00:18:00,960 –> 00:18:04,720
on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices from
275
00:18:04,759 –> 00:18:09,039
the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the
276
00:18:09,119 –> 00:18:12,240
journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of
277
00:18:12,279 –> 00:18:15,359
the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated,
278
00:18:15,680 –> 00:18:19,200
but the media personnel working with Omi La Sware in

a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal
280
00:18:23,359 –> 00:18:27,279
social media handles of Saware said that the police presented
281
00:18:27,319 –> 00:18:31,720
two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and defamation of character,
282
00:18:32,160 –> 00:18:36,160
adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit
283
00:18:36,240 –> 00:18:39,440
as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Saware
284
00:18:39,680 –> 00:18:43,519
cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged
285
00:18:43,519 –> 00:18:46,839
pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when
286
00:18:46,880 –> 00:18:50,079
the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he
287
00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:53,519
was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen.

292
00:19:11,759 –> 00:19:16,079
personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted
293
00:19:16,119 –> 00:19:19,559
to these allegations, but the force in a press release
294

sponsoring deliberate falsehood to tarnish the image of the force,
300
00:19:44,640 –> 00:19:47,279
while also calling on offices and men of the force
301
00:19:47,359 –> 00:19:51,200
to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP
302
00:19:51,519 –> 00:19:54,480
has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get
303
00:19:54,519 –> 00:19:57,039

00:24:57,759 –> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: The human right activist and founder of Sahara Reporters News Network,
394
00:25:03,720 –> 00:25:08,400
Omila Saware has been reportedly man handled on Thursday early
395
00:25:08,480 –> 00:25:12,400
warning inside police cell by offices from the Inspector General
396
00:25:12,480 –> 00:25:16,480
of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the
397
00:25:16,599 –> 00:25:20,000
invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General
398
00:25:20,119 –> 00:25:23,440
of Police for a reason not stated, but the media
399
00:25:23,519 –> 00:25:27,200
personnel working with Omila Sware, in a statement on Thursday
400
00:25:27,640 –> 00:25:32,000
made available through the verified personal social media handles of Saware,
401
00:25:32,640 –> 00:25:35,960
said that the police presented two petitions against Sware over
402
00:25:36,039 –> 00:25:40,400
alleged forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police
403
00:25:40,440 –> 00:25:44,000
officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six
404
00:25:44,079 –> 00:25:47,559
a m. On Thursday entered Soware Cell at the Force
405
00:25:47,720 –> 00:25:51,440
Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the
406
00:25:51,559 –> 00:25:55,279
media publisher to court, but when the journalist demanded to
407
00:25:55,319 –> 00:25:58,839
see the charges against him, he was allegedly handled roughly
408
00:25:58,960 –> 00:26:02,880
by a team of armed policemen. This barrister Addi andju
409
00:26:02,960 –> 00:26:07,559
Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tenubu, demanding
410
00:26:07,599 –> 00:26:12,279
the immediate dismissal of the IGP, Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly
411
00:26:12,359 –> 00:26:16,160
abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office
412
00:26:16,279 –> 00:26:20,319
in the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores. Although
413
00:26:20,400 –> 00:26:24,000
the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations,
414
00:26:24,359 –> 00:26:27,519
but the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon,
415
00:26:27,920 –> 00:26:31,799
apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving
416
00:26:31,880 –> 00:26:36,559
the detained media publisher, Omiyele Saware by insisting and stating
417
00:26:36,640 –> 00:26:39,359
in the press statement that the recent promotions in the
418
00:26:39,519 –> 00:26:43,440
Nigeria Police Force was based on merit and not selective,
419
00:26:43,720 –> 00:26:48,480
accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods
420
00:26:48,519 –> 00:26:51,559
to tarnish the image of the force, while also calling
421
00:26:51,640 –> 00:26:54,160
on offices and men of the force to desist from
422
00:26:54,240 –> 00:26:58,119
lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that
423
00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:01,359
any police personnel court lobbying to get promotion will be
424
00:27:01,519 –> 00:27:05,720
made to face disciplinary action. According to the post published
425
00:27:05,799 –> 00:27:09,279
via saware social media handles, the media team of the
426
00:27:09,359 –> 00:27:12,960
publisher said this morning at six a m. A police
427
00:27:13,000 –> 00:27:15,799
team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the
428
00:27:15,920 –> 00:27:21,200
IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Saware cell
429
00:27:21,279 –> 00:27:24,920
at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming they were
430
00:27:24,960 –> 00:27:28,359
taking him to court. The team of nine offices, including
431
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:32,160
eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sawar roughly when he asked
432
00:27:32,240 –> 00:27:35,559
to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his
433
00:27:35,759 –> 00:27:39,599
arm in the process, before taking him to another police facility,
434
00:27:40,000 –> 00:27:44,200
the media team stated. In another post, the media said
435
00:27:44,440 –> 00:27:49,119
the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin fakaray Day presented
436
00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:53,200
two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp’s office, one
437
00:27:53,200 –> 00:27:57,200
alleged forgery and the second written by Bukolayemis Kuttie, who
438
00:27:57,319 –> 00:28:02,400
was promoted to ACP because she’s mistress, alleges criminal defamation.
439
00:28:03,319 –> 00:28:06,799
So Morrey had before honoring the police invitation on Wednesday,
440
00:28:06,920 –> 00:28:10,599
said in a number of posts previous day that the
441
00:28:10,759 –> 00:28:14,640
IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at
442
00:28:14,640 –> 00:28:17,440
eleven a m. Yet they have refused to provide a
443
00:28:17,519 –> 00:28:20,960
copy of the purported petition against me. It is now
444
00:28:21,119 –> 00:28:24,200
clear that their intention is to conceal the sinister plan
445
00:28:24,359 –> 00:28:29,119
of the Illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness. Despite this,
446
00:28:29,680 –> 00:28:33,359
I will honor the invitation good, not alone. I will
447
00:28:33,400 –> 00:28:37,319
be going with a full house to all our revolutionary comrades.
448
00:28:37,599 –> 00:28:42,359
As always we moved together. Let every freedom fighter, every
449
00:28:42,480 –> 00:28:46,720
citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance assemble early tomorrow
450
00:28:46,839 –> 00:28:51,720
at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja. Revolutiono hegg
451
00:28:51,799 –> 00:28:55,720
Beetoken Musco. They say the illegal IGP spoke to day
452
00:28:55,799 –> 00:28:59,079
and send fresh threats against us. We heard that the
453
00:28:59,119 –> 00:29:04,400
illegal Inspector General of Police, Coyode Eggbetoken has issued fresh threats.
454
00:29:05,200 –> 00:29:09,119
But even his voice betrays him. His voice was cracked
455
00:29:09,119 –> 00:29:15,640
by incompetence, weighed down by immorality, nepotism, favoritism, tribalism. It
456
00:29:15,880 –> 00:29:19,200
was worn thin by the burden of failed leadership. We
457
00:29:19,319 –> 00:29:23,640
are Nigerian citizens who have faced down tyrants, dictators and
458
00:29:23,799 –> 00:29:27,400
power drunk men in and out of uniform. We’ve survived
459
00:29:27,480 –> 00:29:32,519
worse and we’ve conquered no amount of intimidation, propaganda or
460
00:29:32,599 –> 00:29:36,000
empty threats can shake our resolve or derail our desire
461
00:29:36,079 –> 00:29:41,160
for a better, just and dignified society. Aluter Continuer. The
462
00:29:41,279 –> 00:29:44,720
Nigeria Police Force, in a statement signed and made available
463
00:29:44,799 –> 00:29:48,599
by the force spokesperson, DCP On Luminua had A Jobbi,
464
00:29:49,079 –> 00:29:52,759
said the Nigeria Police Force has observed with concern the
465
00:29:52,839 –> 00:29:56,000
growing wave of lobbying and unofficial requests directed at the
466
00:29:56,079 –> 00:29:59,400
Inspector General of Police and the Police Service commissioned by
467
00:29:59,480 –> 00:30:04,079
certain offs seeking special promotions. This surge was triggered by
468
00:30:04,119 –> 00:30:08,119
the misinformation being spread by certain media platforms following the
469
00:30:08,240 –> 00:30:11,960
recent approval of accelerated promotions for a number of deserving
470
00:30:12,039 –> 00:30:16,920
offices who have distinguished themselves through exemporary service. The Force
471
00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:21,359
wishes to categorically state that these accelerated promotions were not arbitrary,
472
00:30:21,440 –> 00:30:24,920
but were part of a well structured reward system set
473
00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:28,400
up by the police leadership aimed at recognizing offices who
474
00:30:28,480 –> 00:30:34,279
have demonstrated outstanding performance uncommon bravery, professional excellence and commitment
475
00:30:34,359 –> 00:30:36,880
to duty in the offices who benefited with those who
476
00:30:36,960 –> 00:30:41,599
met the standardized guidelines for such accelerated promotion. The recent
477
00:30:41,759 –> 00:30:45,000
exercise does not signify the commencement of a general or
478
00:30:45,079 –> 00:30:50,160
indiscriminate special promotion scheme. In light of recent misleading reports
479
00:30:50,200 –> 00:30:53,920
sponsored by a particular online platform suggesting that the Police
480
00:30:54,039 –> 00:30:58,799
Force has initiated arbitrary promotions, the Nigeria Police Force firmly
481
00:30:58,880 –> 00:31:03,039
cautions the public to deat disregard such falsehoods. These reports
482
00:31:03,079 –> 00:31:07,160
are baseless, misleading and intended to undermine the integrity of
483
00:31:07,200 –> 00:31:12,400
the force’s promotion process. The NPF remains committed to transparency,
484
00:31:12,880 –> 00:31:18,359
merit and due process in all personnel decisions. Furthermore, offices
485
00:31:18,400 –> 00:31:21,920
are strongly cautioned against lobbying or attempting to influence the
486
00:31:22,000 –> 00:31:27,960
promotion process through unofficial means. Such conduct is unethical, undermines
487
00:31:28,039 –> 00:31:32,119
the principles of meritocracy and professionalism, and will attract severe
488
00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:36,720
disciplinary action in accordance with extant laws and regulations. The
489
00:31:36,839 –> 00:31:40,880
Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to a promotion system
490
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:45,559
anchored on integrity, verifiable merit and honorable service to the nation.
491
00:31:46,440 –> 00:31:50,440
Offices and men are hereby urged to remain dedicated, maintain
492
00:31:50,559 –> 00:31:54,559
discipline and continue to discharge the duties with pride and distinction.
493
00:31:55,000 –> 00:31:59,799
The Police stated human rights lawyer Barrister Addi Andjudjji, in
494
00:31:59,880 –> 00:32:03,279
a reaction to the photograph of Omili A Sare’s hand
495
00:32:03,359 –> 00:32:07,680
wrapped with bandages of the police detention facility said, egg
496
00:32:07,720 –> 00:32:11,559
Beethoken the most useless IGP in the history of Nigeria.
497
00:32:11,680 –> 00:32:14,880
Police has ordered the detention of Sware for criticizing his
498
00:32:15,000 –> 00:32:20,200
incompetent and favoritism promotions and other numerous infractions. How do
499
00:32:20,319 –> 00:32:24,079
you promote your personal staff arbitrarily? Just like that? The
500
00:32:24,160 –> 00:32:27,880
police ACKed twenty twenty in Regulation three hundred and sixty
501
00:32:27,960 –> 00:32:31,920
seven of the Nigeria Police Regulations forbids a police officer
502
00:32:32,000 –> 00:32:35,960
from settling personal scores and vendetta via the instrumentalities of
503
00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:39,079
their offices. But egg Beethoken is too shameless to care
504
00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:43,519
and continue to abuse his office. President Tanubu must sack
505
00:32:43,599 –> 00:32:47,119
him now. Egg Beethoken must go. In an open letter
506
00:32:47,200 –> 00:32:51,240
and petition to President Bola Ahmed t Enubu, hadiyanju Deji
507
00:32:51,359 –> 00:32:55,079
said and in quotes that your Excellency, with utmost respect
508
00:32:55,160 –> 00:32:57,720
for the office you occupy, I write to draw your
509
00:32:57,759 –> 00:33:00,720
attention to the deepening rot within the niger Aerior Police
510
00:33:00,799 –> 00:33:06,240
Force NPF, which, if left unchecked threatens to completely erode
511
00:33:06,279 –> 00:33:10,759
public trust and destroy the very institution meant to protect us.
512
00:33:10,839 –> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 5: All.
513
00:33:11,519 –> 00:33:14,359
Speaker 1: Under the watch of the current Inspector General of Police,
514
00:33:14,759 –> 00:33:17,839
the force has become increasingly compromised by a pattern of
515
00:33:17,960 –> 00:33:22,519
conduct that has brought the institution into disrepute. The NPF
516
00:33:22,680 –> 00:33:26,480
has become personalized and weaponized, with growing reports of the
517
00:33:26,599 –> 00:33:30,759
force being used to settle personal scores and intimidate private citizens.
518
00:33:31,559 –> 00:33:34,400
The civic space has shrunk under a climate of fear.
519
00:33:34,880 –> 00:33:39,359
Peaceful expression, association, and lawful dissent are now treated with
520
00:33:39,440 –> 00:33:43,279
suspicion or outright hostility by an institution that should protect
521
00:33:43,359 –> 00:33:47,599
these freedoms. More disturbingly, the men and women who serve
522
00:33:47,680 –> 00:33:50,720
in the police force continue to operate under conditions that
523
00:33:50,799 –> 00:33:55,799
are nothing short of inhumane. Reports of nepotism, favoritism, and
524
00:33:55,880 –> 00:34:00,279
ethnic promotions above competence and institutional framework has become order
525
00:34:00,359 –> 00:34:05,440
of the day. Offices lack adequate welfare, modern equipment, proper
526
00:34:05,519 –> 00:34:09,719
housing and fair remuneration, resulting into the recent police protest.
527
00:34:10,519 –> 00:34:13,599
The morale of the average policeman is low, and yet
528
00:34:13,599 –> 00:34:17,000
they are still expected to perform optimally. A force that
529
00:34:17,159 –> 00:34:20,400
is deprived of dignity cannot enforce the law with dignity.
530
00:34:21,199 –> 00:34:25,360
The NPS urgently needs reform, but reform cannot happen under
531
00:34:25,440 –> 00:34:29,320
leadership that undermines its very principles. It is in light
532
00:34:29,440 –> 00:34:32,400
of this that I respectfully urge you to act decisively
533
00:34:32,519 –> 00:34:35,400
by relieving the current Inspector General of Police of his
534
00:34:35,599 –> 00:34:38,360
duties and appointing a leader with a clear commitment to
535
00:34:38,480 –> 00:34:44,360
constitutional order and human rights. Yours, faithfully, dejiadian U. Esquire
536
00:34:44,800 –> 00:34:49,239
Hunch newspaper reported that the Coalition of United Political Parties
537
00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:52,280
and the Arowa Youth Ambassadors have called for the immediate
538
00:34:52,320 –> 00:34:56,840
and unconditional release of pro democracy activist and journalist Amielle
539
00:34:56,960 –> 00:35:00,960
Sawarre following his recent arrest by the Nigeri Police Force.
540
00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:05,800
In separate statements on Thursday, both groups condemned the arrest,
541
00:35:06,239 –> 00:35:09,800
describing it as a violation of Saware’s constitutional rights and
542
00:35:09,840 –> 00:35:15,280
an abuse of police authority. National Secretary of CUPP Peter
543
00:35:15,400 –> 00:35:19,320
Amme said Sir wares detention flouts Section thirty nine of
544
00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:23,960
the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and opinion.
545
00:35:24,760 –> 00:35:27,280
He said the police had turned into an instrument of
546
00:35:27,360 –> 00:35:31,639
oppression and call for accountability. We strongly condemned the arrest
547
00:35:31,719 –> 00:35:35,119
of Omiene Saware by the Nigerian Police and act that
548
00:35:35,239 –> 00:35:39,559
flouts Section thirty nine of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees
549
00:35:39,599 –> 00:35:43,280
the fundamental right to freedom of expression, including the freedom
550
00:35:43,360 –> 00:35:47,960
to hold opinions and share ideas without interference. This arrest
551
00:35:48,079 –> 00:35:51,000
is not only unjust, but also a disturbing misuse of
552
00:35:51,079 –> 00:35:55,199
police power, turning an institution meant to protect Nigerians into
553
00:35:55,280 –> 00:35:59,280
a tool for oppression and personal vendettas. This arrest is
554
00:35:59,320 –> 00:36:01,599
a blatant to use of power and an affront to
555
00:36:01,639 –> 00:36:05,519
the principles of justice and accountability enshrined in the Constitution.
556
00:36:06,480 –> 00:36:10,199
The Nigerian Police own Nigerians a clear explanation for Sir
557
00:36:10,239 –> 00:36:14,079
Ware’s arrest. Denying him his right to bail is indefensible
558
00:36:14,159 –> 00:36:17,719
and further exposes the misuse of authority to silence descent.
559
00:36:18,559 –> 00:36:21,920
We demand his immediate and unconditional release and if the
560
00:36:22,000 –> 00:36:25,079
Inspector General believes there is a case to answer, Sir
561
00:36:25,159 –> 00:36:28,239
Warez should be charged to court without delay, he stated.
562
00:36:29,039 –> 00:36:32,719
The Arowa Youth Ambassadors, in a separate statement signed by
563
00:36:32,800 –> 00:36:38,239
their national coordinator, Yeheya Abdullahi, also condemned Sir Ware’s continued
564
00:36:38,280 –> 00:36:41,360
detention and gave the federal authorities a seventy two hour
565
00:36:41,480 –> 00:36:44,840
ultimatum to release him or face protests across the nineteen
566
00:36:44,960 –> 00:36:49,039
Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory. The group said
567
00:36:49,079 –> 00:36:51,760
Sir Ware’s arrest was part of a pattern of harassment,
568
00:36:52,199 –> 00:36:55,679
alleging that state institutions were being misused to suppress descent.
569
00:36:56,559 –> 00:36:59,440
They warned that a continued clamp down on critics could
570
00:36:59,440 –> 00:37:03,559
erode democratic values and civic freedoms. In line with this,
571
00:37:04,119 –> 00:37:08,159
the Arowa Youth Ambassadors hereby issue a seventy two hour
572
00:37:08,280 –> 00:37:12,119
ultimatum to the Nigerian authorities to release Saware or face
573
00:37:12,280 –> 00:37:15,880
nationwide protests in all nineteen Northern States and the Federal
574
00:37:16,000 –> 00:37:20,679
Capital Territory. We will mobilize peaceful mass action in solidarity
575
00:37:20,800 –> 00:37:23,679
with Saware and in defense of the fundamental rights of
576
00:37:23,719 –> 00:37:27,920
all Nigerians to freedom of expression and assembly. We call
577
00:37:28,039 –> 00:37:33,639
on all progressive forces, civil society groups, student unions, labor
578
00:37:33,719 –> 00:37:37,440
movements and the general public to rise in unity against
579
00:37:37,480 –> 00:37:41,519
the growing tyranny and misuits of state power. Nigeria belongs
580
00:37:41,559 –> 00:37:44,119
to us all, and no government has the right to
581
00:37:44,159 –> 00:37:48,519
crush dissent in a democratic society. The statement added the
582
00:37:48,599 –> 00:37:51,119
police are yet to issue an official response to the
583
00:37:51,199 –> 00:37:59,519
reason for Saware’s arrest. Gingi ingim A Number is no
584
00:37:59,679 –> 00:38:03,239
doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and
585
00:38:03,440 –> 00:38:06,239
very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do
586
00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:08,880
lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing
587
00:38:08,960 –> 00:38:12,320
of security operatives and some other persons around the scene
588
00:38:12,360 –> 00:38:16,760
of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically,
589
00:38:17,199 –> 00:38:20,000
our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week
590
00:38:20,159 –> 00:38:23,800
without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innichhare,
591
00:38:23,840 –> 00:38:27,480
a wary federal road in a Nambra State, especially between
592
00:38:27,599 –> 00:38:31,280
Ober community and Ihiala town. As we gathered that most
593
00:38:31,400 –> 00:38:34,519
victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small
594
00:38:34,639 –> 00:38:38,440
and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled
595
00:38:38,440 –> 00:38:42,719
out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we
596
00:38:42,880 –> 00:38:46,559
learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along
597
00:38:46,599 –> 00:38:49,480
the Ihiala all who road left to be kidnapped or
598
00:38:49,599 –> 00:38:52,800
forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober,
599
00:38:53,199 –> 00:38:56,960
wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions
600
00:38:57,000 –> 00:39:00,440
of pain in silence to the kidnappers. According to members
601
00:39:00,480 –> 00:39:04,400
of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently
602
00:39:04,480 –> 00:39:07,119
at a location between the ober New Road and Old
603
00:39:07,280 –> 00:39:11,320
Road junctions, shortly after he visited his building construction site.
604
00:39:11,760 –> 00:39:14,079
While we also learned that some people in the state
605
00:39:14,199 –> 00:39:17,320
to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to
606
00:39:17,400 –> 00:39:19,719
get a share from the ransom that will be paid
607
00:39:19,840 –> 00:39:23,320
afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with
608
00:39:23,400 –> 00:39:26,400
their friends or co traders. It may interest you to
609
00:39:26,519 –> 00:39:30,239
know that the Enambra State Police Command recently arrested a
610
00:39:30,320 –> 00:39:35,119
twenty four year old male suspect Muanaie Victor for allegedly
611
00:39:35,199 –> 00:39:37,960
luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang
612
00:39:38,039 –> 00:39:41,639
Innuli Ihiala local government area of the state, and they
613
00:39:41,760 –> 00:39:45,719
reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five point
614
00:39:45,920 –> 00:39:49,320
three million narers with his gang members, just as government
615
00:39:49,400 –> 00:39:52,599
in a not too long distance time abducted a lawyer
616
00:39:52,679 –> 00:39:56,480
and two other persons in in polgu Aguata local government
617
00:39:56,639 –> 00:39:59,960
area of Anambra. In addition to previous cases of kis
618
00:40:00,039 –> 00:40:03,079
knapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea
619
00:40:03,280 –> 00:40:06,719
Org by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of
620
00:40:06,840 –> 00:40:10,679
persons along the new Ober Newi Road in Idomili South
621
00:40:10,840 –> 00:40:14,159
Local Government area of a Nambra State, with the number
622
00:40:14,199 –> 00:40:17,119
of those killed at the Porsche nightclub said to be seven,
623
00:40:17,199 –> 00:40:20,599
but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another
624
00:40:20,719 –> 00:40:23,039
had his foot cut off and made away by the
625
00:40:23,159 –> 00:40:27,480
invading deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well known
626
00:40:27,559 –> 00:40:31,920
native doctor or which doctor chidos in nawangu Aka Aqua
627
00:40:32,079 –> 00:40:36,400
Okako Tiuuraki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed
628
00:40:36,519 –> 00:40:39,639
in the vicinity of his hotel at ober community before
629
00:40:39,719 –> 00:40:43,039
the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after
630
00:40:43,159 –> 00:40:46,920
ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all. On
631
00:40:47,079 –> 00:40:51,280
May twenty one, twenty twenty two, shortly after Professor Chukuma
632
00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:55,480
Saludo was sworn in as governor, gunman abducted the lawmaker
633
00:40:55,559 –> 00:40:59,840
representing Aguata to constituency in the State House of Assembly,
634
00:41:00,320 –> 00:41:04,519
hok Chukua Koye a Koye also known as Hoki Dioke
635
00:41:05,159 –> 00:41:10,159
represented Soludo’s state constituency Isoophia. A Koye was killed and
636
00:41:10,239 –> 00:41:14,440
beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril chi Eboka. Six days after
637
00:41:14,519 –> 00:41:19,079
they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road, Anaroka Local government area
638
00:41:19,159 –> 00:41:21,719
of the state and their heads and bodies dumped along
639
00:41:21,760 –> 00:41:25,239
a roadside in the state. And in December twenty twenty four,
640
00:41:25,599 –> 00:41:28,960
another lawmaker in the State House of Assembly was kidnapped
641
00:41:29,000 –> 00:41:31,880
and killed and the victim, the lifeless body of the
642
00:41:31,960 –> 00:41:36,280
member representing Anicha North one constituency in the Nambra State
643
00:41:36,360 –> 00:41:40,039
House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the Second
644
00:41:40,159 –> 00:41:44,559
Niger Bridge with Azuka’s lifeless body, said to be already decomposing,
645
00:41:44,760 –> 00:41:48,159
was found by a joint team of security operatives forty
646
00:41:48,239 –> 00:41:51,639
four days after he was kidnapped on December twenty fourth,
647
00:41:51,800 –> 00:41:55,920
twenty twenty four along the Ugunarabanko Road in Inland Town,
648
00:41:56,320 –> 00:42:01,159
Anischa while returning home for Christmas. And the most prominent
649
00:42:01,239 –> 00:42:04,599
among the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state is
650
00:42:04,719 –> 00:42:08,320
Martin’s on Yekse, well known as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping
651
00:42:08,400 –> 00:42:11,800
and subsequent killing of the young small business owner sparked
652
00:42:11,880 –> 00:42:15,599
protest and public awareness like never before, with a social
653
00:42:15,719 –> 00:42:20,360
right activist, Martinsotzka Veri Dartmann coming to the state earlier
654
00:42:20,440 –> 00:42:23,760
on Sunday and led a protest walk on Tuesday, which
655
00:42:23,920 –> 00:42:27,599
was tagged Candlelight Procession March in honour of Phish Magnet,
656
00:42:28,079 –> 00:42:31,159
one of the most recent victims of the unabated deadly
657
00:42:31,320 –> 00:42:35,079
monetary kidnapping business apparently thriving in an Ambra like some
658
00:42:35,280 –> 00:42:39,440
other states in Nigeria, with Veridartmund saying during the protest
659
00:42:39,519 –> 00:42:42,039
that it may be right to say that kidnappers killed
660
00:42:42,119 –> 00:42:45,559
Phish Magnet, but the actual killers are the administrative failures
661
00:42:45,599 –> 00:42:50,119
of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo, the state Governor, Senator Bolah
662
00:42:50,119 –> 00:42:54,639
Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria, General Christopher Musa, the
663
00:42:54,760 –> 00:42:59,519
Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken, the Inspector General
664
00:42:59,559 –> 00:43:02,679
of Police and the local government area chairman or mayor,
665
00:43:02,760 –> 00:43:06,440
and accused him of incompetence in managing security matters in
666
00:43:06,519 –> 00:43:09,199
the state and the country at large, while the Enambra
667
00:43:09,320 –> 00:43:14,360
State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who also joined the campaign,
668
00:43:14,800 –> 00:43:18,280
said the campaign walk was not only about Phish Magnet,
669
00:43:18,320 –> 00:43:21,360
but a bold statement collectively made by an Ambra youths
670
00:43:21,440 –> 00:43:23,920
in solidarity and in support of the efforts of the
671
00:43:24,000 –> 00:43:27,719
security agencies in the State against killings and other crimes.
672
00:43:28,599 –> 00:43:31,719
After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated in a post that
673
00:43:32,199 –> 00:43:34,320
I am glad I found this online and like I
674
00:43:34,440 –> 00:43:38,239
clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by Chukuma Charles Soludo.
675
00:43:39,039 –> 00:43:43,039
He was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu. Ellipsis Dot
676
00:43:43,480 –> 00:43:46,880
rest in peace. My name’s sake, Martin’s on ye kca
677
00:43:46,960 –> 00:43:50,639
Fessenachi deer at phish Magnet, you send me a DM
678
00:43:50,760 –> 00:43:53,599
and I didn’t see it. Even if I had seen it,
679
00:43:53,679 –> 00:43:56,760
I wouldn’t have responded because I have other priorities and
680
00:43:56,880 –> 00:43:59,880
a lot of issues going on, and I always think
681
00:44:00,079 –> 00:44:03,039
people give me things to have me advertise for them,
682
00:44:03,119 –> 00:44:06,199
so I don’t accept gift. When I saw your post
683
00:44:06,280 –> 00:44:09,960
on tunde ed nut page, I actually commented something funny
684
00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:12,480
to let you know I saw it. You were gone
685
00:44:12,599 –> 00:44:15,480
now and I sincerely wish I had collected the fish
686
00:44:15,559 –> 00:44:19,280
from you, Ellipsis dot dot. I will like to also
687
00:44:19,440 –> 00:44:24,000
beg Nigerians to support his business his legacy continues. It
688
00:44:24,079 –> 00:44:26,079
should not be a case where because he is no
689
00:44:26,239 –> 00:44:29,440
more and then people will stop the patronage. The office
690
00:44:29,480 –> 00:44:34,719
and businesses still operating follow at pish Magnet they deliver nationwide.
691
00:44:35,039 –> 00:44:37,880
Lolai finally did the advert for you and you won’t
692
00:44:37,960 –> 00:44:43,000
even see it. Rest on King my namesake Tochukuakenga, the
693
00:44:43,199 –> 00:44:47,639
Nambra State Police Command spokesperson in a post also said
694
00:44:48,079 –> 00:44:51,400
it was a walk for peace, a stand against violent crime.
695
00:44:52,199 –> 00:44:54,480
The use of a nambre came out in their numbers
696
00:44:54,559 –> 00:44:57,840
in a symbolic walk for peace, a collective stance against
697
00:44:57,960 –> 00:45:01,880
violent crime. It was not just a march for Phish Magnet.
698
00:45:02,239 –> 00:45:05,119
It was a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police
699
00:45:05,159 –> 00:45:08,880
and other security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all
700
00:45:09,039 –> 00:45:13,920
forms of criminality. Together, they echoed a clear message. Enough
701
00:45:14,079 –> 00:45:17,559
is enough. Criminals can no longer be allowed to terrorize
702
00:45:17,559 –> 00:45:21,119
an Amra’s state in the Southeast region. The time has
703
00:45:21,199 –> 00:45:25,159
come for unity, vigilance and community driven action for a
704
00:45:25,239 –> 00:45:30,199
safer Anambra. An Amera’s State Association of Town Union HASATU
705
00:45:30,639 –> 00:45:34,639
Youth President Comrade Kennicoli, as well as an Ambras State
706
00:45:34,679 –> 00:45:39,679
Commissioner for Youth Development, Mister Patrick Akeamber were also at
707
00:45:39,719 –> 00:45:42,639
the event, with almost all the protesters dressed in black
708
00:45:42,719 –> 00:45:45,440
and black matched from a Roma junction in the state
709
00:45:45,559 –> 00:45:49,280
capitol to the Fish Magnet factory in Orca. The protest
710
00:45:49,400 –> 00:45:52,599
did not take place without an earlier warning issued against
711
00:45:52,639 –> 00:45:56,719
forredarkmen by the police. The Nigeria Police Force had in
712
00:45:56,800 –> 00:46:00,480
a statement said the Commissioner of Police an Anna State
713
00:46:00,519 –> 00:46:06,719
Command CP iqia Oratugu f wcmn IPSPHD has issued a
714
00:46:06,800 –> 00:46:12,280
stern warning two social media influencer mister Martin’s Vincent Dodds
715
00:46:12,320 –> 00:46:16,639
popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning him against making statements or
716
00:46:16,719 –> 00:46:20,679
taking actions capable of inciting tension or breaching public peace
717
00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:24,199
within the state. The CP noted the decision of the
718
00:46:24,280 –> 00:46:29,440
family of the late mister Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of
719
00:46:29,519 –> 00:46:34,000
Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly dissociate themselves from any proposed
720
00:46:34,119 –> 00:46:37,960
or ongoing candlelight procession or memorial gathering being organized in
721
00:46:38,039 –> 00:46:41,280
his name. They therefore pleaded that they should allow the
722
00:46:41,400 –> 00:46:44,760
family to grieve privately while trusting the authorities to do
723
00:46:44,880 –> 00:46:48,920
their work. The CP emphasized that an Amorous State remains
724
00:46:49,000 –> 00:46:51,159
one of the most peaceful in the region due to
725
00:46:51,280 –> 00:46:54,639
the sustained efforts of the police and other security agencies
726
00:46:55,079 –> 00:46:59,719
in collaboration with critical stakeholders. He stressed that no individual,
727
00:47:00,199 –> 00:47:03,599
regardless of social status, would be allowed to disrupt the
728
00:47:03,679 –> 00:47:07,760
existing peace and security architecture of the state. C p
729
00:47:08,039 –> 00:47:11,239
Or tougu urged residents and visitors alike to go about
730
00:47:11,320 –> 00:47:15,440
their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to
731
00:47:15,519 –> 00:47:20,079
maintaining law and order. He further advised social media uses
732
00:47:20,119 –> 00:47:24,079
and public figures to exercise restraint and avoid spreading misinformation
733
00:47:24,360 –> 00:47:28,559
or making inciting remarks. The Command further warns that any
734
00:47:28,599 –> 00:47:32,559
one found undermining public peace, either on line or offline,
735
00:47:32,920 –> 00:47:35,719
will face the full weight of the law. We had
736
00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:38,920
reported that the Inambor State government under the leadership of
737
00:47:39,000 –> 00:47:42,239
Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is
738
00:47:42,360 –> 00:47:44,800
currently in search of justice over the killing of a
739
00:47:44,880 –> 00:47:48,800
young and creative fish farmer, Martin’s of Fessenachi on Ye
740
00:47:48,880 –> 00:47:52,280
k c well known by his business name as Fish Magnet,
741
00:47:52,599 –> 00:47:55,840
who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped
742
00:47:55,920 –> 00:47:59,119
on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five
743
00:47:59,519 –> 00:48:03,079
at his residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca,
744
00:48:03,440 –> 00:48:08,079
the Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour
745
00:48:08,159 –> 00:48:11,719
Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state,
746
00:48:11,840 –> 00:48:15,000
said that Anambra State is no longer safe, adding that
747
00:48:15,440 –> 00:48:18,639
people are being killed, sorted for their families to bury
748
00:48:18,840 –> 00:48:23,280
in silence, while the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo
749
00:48:23,400 –> 00:48:28,599
luks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically,
750
00:48:29,079 –> 00:48:32,679
Mogalu said, I must speak frankly, an Amber is no
751
00:48:32,840 –> 00:48:36,440
longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people
752
00:48:36,519 –> 00:48:40,239
are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the
753
00:48:40,320 –> 00:48:43,760
government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it
754
00:48:43,880 –> 00:48:47,840
is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in
755
00:48:47,960 –> 00:48:52,039
a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area.
756
00:48:52,519 –> 00:48:55,760
Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a
757
00:48:55,880 –> 00:48:59,559
visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings
758
00:48:59,559 –> 00:49:03,920
and politic endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mongolu stated,
759
00:49:03,960 –> 00:49:07,440
while the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biaffra
760
00:49:07,519 –> 00:49:11,519
agitation leader, Barrister afany g four, said the people of
761
00:49:11,599 –> 00:49:15,639
the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and
762
00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:20,039
painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify
763
00:49:20,199 –> 00:49:23,920
the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening
764
00:49:24,039 –> 00:49:28,440
part the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers.
765
00:49:28,880 –> 00:49:31,920
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you
766
00:49:32,079 –> 00:49:35,519
embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of
767
00:49:35,840 –> 00:49:38,599
ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the
768
00:49:38,719 –> 00:49:43,159
real external aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come
769
00:49:43,239 –> 00:49:45,079
when we are weakest and most divided.
770
00:49:47,599 –> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 5: Affective NAPAs fish magnets, when atwas sense it is magn.
771

00:50:39,039 –> 00:50:40,039
have the money.
781
00:50:41,639 –> 00:50:48,039
Speaker 5: To have more policeman with more amia sauce mats that
782
00:50:48,119 –> 00:50:49,360
can protect everybody.
783
00:50:51,119 –> 00:50:56,079
Speaker 3: But for some reason these people don’t care your children
784
00:50:56,119 –> 00:50:59,159
are living a bro. You don’t go to our schools.
785
00:50:59,800 –> 00:51:04,360
You just how our hospital? How your kids outside? I

Speaker 5: That’s your face was not checks.
790
00:51:22,280 –> 00:51:22,599

Indian number or the use of a number standing with

the security agencies to make sure that the killings and
854
00:55:57,679 –> 00:56:02,199

01:03:13,280 –> 01:03:16,719
government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it
957
01:03:16,880 –> 01:03:20,800
is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in
958
01:03:20,920 –> 01:03:25,000
a ghastly accident at Amchi Noi South Local government area.
959
01:03:25,440 –> 01:03:28,719
Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a
960
01:03:28,800 –> 01:03:32,559
visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings
961
01:03:32,599 –> 01:03:36,880
and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mogolu stated,
962
01:03:36,920 –> 01:03:40,400
while the former lawyer to Namdi Carlu, the detained Biafra
963
01:03:40,480 –> 01:03:44,440
agitation leader, Barrister afangy g four, said the people of
964
01:03:44,519 –> 01:03:48,599
the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and
965
01:03:48,719 –> 01:03:53,000
painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify
966
01:03:53,159 –> 01:03:56,880
the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening
967
01:03:56,960 –> 01:04:01,400
part the reckless energy our own people expect defending these killers.
968
01:04:01,840 –> 01:04:04,880
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you
969
01:04:05,039 –> 01:04:09,599
emboldenham when you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride,
970
01:04:09,880 –> 01:04:12,440
you leave the gates wide open for the real external
971
01:04:12,519 –> 01:04:16,480
aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we
972
01:04:16,559 –> 01:04:20,320
are weakest and most divided. A Nambra’s State Commissioner for
973
01:04:20,440 –> 01:04:24,360
Information Law Mepher made the government position known on Sunday
974
01:04:24,440 –> 01:04:27,679
after he led other government officials on a condolence visit
975
01:04:27,800 –> 01:04:30,159
to the bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to
976
01:04:30,239 –> 01:04:33,320
be the woman leader of the Enambra’s State All Progressives
977
01:04:33,360 –> 01:04:38,079
Grand Alliance APGA missus ester on Ya KC. According to
978
01:04:38,159 –> 01:04:41,800
Punch newspaper, Homyaker, a son of the woman leader of
979
01:04:41,840 –> 01:04:45,880
the Enambra’s State All Progressives Grand Alliance, was abducted by
980
01:04:45,920 –> 01:04:50,000
government and his residence in Zeniphied Community Opuno Orc, a
981
01:04:50,079 –> 01:04:53,599
South Local government area of Enamra State, in a late
982
01:04:53,719 –> 01:04:57,880
night attack on Saturday, July twenty sixth, and was subsequently killed.
983
01:04:58,599 –> 01:05:02,039
In a press statement release on Sunday, the State Commissioner
984
01:05:02,119 –> 01:05:07,039
for Information Law Mepha sympathized with the deceased’s family, assuring
985
01:05:07,079 –> 01:05:09,559
them that the state government is in search of justice
986
01:05:09,639 –> 01:05:14,199
while sustaining and strengthening security in the state. Mepher, who
987
01:05:14,320 –> 01:05:16,880
maintained that such a development is an affront to the
988
01:05:16,960 –> 01:05:22,280
Professor Chokuma Soludo Government’s new security architecture, also expressed delight
989
01:05:22,400 –> 01:05:24,840
that the police are on the heels of the perpetrators.
990
01:05:25,639 –> 01:05:28,440
The Commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he
991
01:05:28,559 –> 01:05:31,039
paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the
992
01:05:31,199 –> 01:05:35,559
Enambra’s State Apga ester On Yeakese. According to the statement,
993
01:05:36,400 –> 01:05:40,320
the statement read in part, the Enambra State Commissioner for Information,
994
01:05:40,880 –> 01:05:44,360
Doctor Law Mepher, recently paid a condolence visit to the
995
01:05:44,440 –> 01:05:48,239
woman leader of the Enambra State All Progressives Grand Alliance,
996
01:05:48,719 –> 01:05:52,840
Missus ester On Yeakese, whose only son, Martina fessenaci On
997
01:05:52,920 –> 01:05:56,440
yaks a prominent fish dealer in the state popularly known
998
01:05:56,519 –> 01:06:01,599
as Phish Magnet, was kidnapped and murdered recently in Enambre State. Meher,
999
01:06:02,000 –> 01:06:05,960
who described the fish dealer’s death as dastardly and heart wrenching,
1000
01:06:06,360 –> 01:06:09,719
sympathized with the deceased mother, assuring her that the state
1001
01:06:09,840 –> 01:06:12,920
government is with her in search of justice while sustaining
1002
01:06:13,000 –> 01:06:17,039
and strengthening security in an Ambra State. He maintained that
1003
01:06:17,159 –> 01:06:19,800
such a death is an affront to the Solution Government’s
1004
01:06:19,920 –> 01:06:23,519
new security architecture and expressed happiness that the police are
1005
01:06:23,559 –> 01:06:26,039
on the heels of the perpetrators and have issued a
1006
01:06:26,159 –> 01:06:29,159
statement on the matter after recovering the vehicle in which
1007
01:06:29,199 –> 01:06:32,320
they drove him away, adding that nobody can commit such
1008
01:06:32,360 –> 01:06:35,159
a dastardly act in an Ambra’s state and get away
1009
01:06:35,239 –> 01:06:38,960
with it. So may his sole rest in peace. We’ll
1010
01:06:39,039 –> 01:06:42,320
fight and get him justice. The mother will get justice,
1011
01:06:42,639 –> 01:06:46,000
the family will get justice, and an amoror will get justice.
1012
01:06:46,800 –> 01:06:49,519
It’s a very painful loss for all of us and
1013
01:06:49,639 –> 01:06:52,880
the government is always challenged when things like this happen
1014
01:06:53,000 –> 01:06:56,039
because it’s an affront to the new security architecture put
1015
01:06:56,119 –> 01:07:00,639
in place by the Solution Government led by Professor Chukou Soludo.
1016
01:07:01,400 –> 01:07:05,519
The Commissioner said security in Anambra has significantly improved since
1017
01:07:05,599 –> 01:07:09,679
Soludo launched a new security architecture on February eighteenth, twenty
1018
01:07:09,800 –> 01:07:13,679
twenty five. He noted that troubled areas are now receiving
1019
01:07:13,840 –> 01:07:17,320
proper attention and that anyone causing unrest must now face
1020
01:07:17,400 –> 01:07:23,320
the government’s security outfits Hagenekembrand, Operation Ludo Garachi and whoever
1021
01:07:23,519 –> 01:07:26,760
is constituting a security challenge in Anambra now knows that
1022
01:07:26,840 –> 01:07:31,440
they have the government’s new security outfits hagenekembrand Operation Ludo
1023
01:07:31,519 –> 01:07:35,800
Garachi to contend with the statement read. Also on the
1024
01:07:35,880 –> 01:07:39,159
condolence visit along with the Commissioner was the Chairman of
1025
01:07:39,199 –> 01:07:44,440
the Noui South Local Government Area Van Georgia z e Oged. Meanwhile,
1026
01:07:44,800 –> 01:07:48,159
the Enambra State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force
1027
01:07:48,280 –> 01:07:52,000
had said adjoint security operatives recovered the victim’s vehicle which
1028
01:07:52,079 –> 01:07:55,679
the assailants used to escape the scene. In a statement,
1029
01:07:56,079 –> 01:07:59,960
the police said the Commissioner of Police CP ikiye or
1030
01:08:00,000 –> 01:08:07,280
Oatugu f w C MNIPS PhD has directed all tactical
1031
01:08:07,360 –> 01:08:10,639
and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down
1032
01:08:10,719 –> 01:08:14,199
the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing
1033
01:08:14,280 –> 01:08:19,039
of Mista A Fessenachi Homnukera, the managing director of Phish
1034
01:08:19,119 –> 01:08:21,840
Magnet Outlet, who was attacked in the evening of the
1035
01:08:21,960 –> 01:08:25,600
twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence
1036
01:08:25,680 –> 01:08:30,600
in Zini Fitte Village, Opuno, Orca. This directive follows the
1037
01:08:30,680 –> 01:08:34,359
recovery of the victim’s Navy blue Toyota Corolla along a
1038
01:08:34,439 –> 01:08:38,199
kulu Igarium road by the joint security team comprising of
1039
01:08:38,239 –> 01:08:43,000
a number of vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations
1040
01:08:43,079 –> 01:08:46,399
revealed that the assailants had trailed the victim before launching
1041
01:08:46,479 –> 01:08:49,520
the violent attack, during which the deceased was shot in
1042
01:08:49,600 –> 01:08:53,640
the leg and forcibly taken away. He was later found lifeless,
1043
01:08:54,119 –> 01:08:57,720
sparking public outrage and deep concern among residents of Orca.
1044
01:08:58,479 –> 01:09:01,800
The CPE, while condemning them killing, assured that the criminal
1045
01:09:01,880 –> 01:09:04,800
elements behind this cowardly act will be brought to book.
1046
01:09:05,560 –> 01:09:08,119
He further stated that the policeo is to the family,
1047
01:09:08,520 –> 01:09:11,119
the people of Nambra and the memory of the deceased
1048
01:09:11,159 –> 01:09:13,840
to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of
1049
01:09:13,920 –> 01:09:18,600
the law. Further developments would be communicated accordingly. S P.

Tochekuakenga police public relations officer an Ambra State Police Command
1051
01:09:24,000 –> 01:09:28,199
stated in a press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship
1052
01:09:28,279 –> 01:09:33,000
candidate doctor George Moglou said, my heart is heavy. I
1053
01:09:33,199 –> 01:09:36,840
received with deep sorrow the devastating news of the brutal
1054
01:09:36,920 –> 01:09:39,560
murder of mister Martin on Ye k C, the only
1055
01:09:39,680 –> 01:09:43,359
son of missus esther on Yea k C. The Enambro
1056
01:09:43,479 –> 01:09:46,920
state woman, leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.
1057
01:09:47,720 –> 01:09:51,479
Martin was a promising young man, an industrious fish farmer
1058
01:09:51,560 –> 01:09:54,239
in his twenties, whose life was cut short in a
1059
01:09:54,319 –> 01:09:58,319
most cruel and senseless manner, abducted from his family home
1060
01:09:58,399 –> 01:10:01,319
in Orca, shot in the leg, egg and later found
1061
01:10:01,399 –> 01:10:04,520
dead despite ransom being paid. This is not just a
1062
01:10:04,600 –> 01:10:08,880
family’s tragedy. It is a painful reminder that our dear
1063
01:10:09,000 –> 01:10:12,159
state is in crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with
1064
01:10:12,279 –> 01:10:15,399
misses on ye Keesi and her entire family in this
1065
01:10:15,600 –> 01:10:19,159
moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should ever have to
1066
01:10:19,239 –> 01:10:24,319
bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances. I must
1067
01:10:24,359 –> 01:10:28,359
speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not even in
1068
01:10:28,439 –> 01:10:32,439
the state capital. Our people are being slorted, kidnapped and
1069
01:10:32,600 –> 01:10:35,439
buried in silence while the government looks the other way.
1070
01:10:36,319 –> 01:10:40,359
This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we
1071
01:10:40,520 –> 01:10:43,479
lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi
1072
01:10:43,960 –> 01:10:47,439
no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement,
1073
01:10:47,760 –> 01:10:52,359
no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead,
1074
01:10:52,760 –> 01:10:56,680
we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is
1075
01:10:56,720 –> 01:11:00,560
our conscience? This is not about political party. This is
1076
01:11:00,640 –> 01:11:04,159
about human life. This is about the safety of our people,
1077
01:11:04,560 –> 01:11:08,760
our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a father and
1078
01:11:08,800 –> 01:11:13,319
a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally. As a leader,
1079
01:11:13,680 –> 01:11:17,319
I cannot keep quiet. We must return empathy to governance.
1080
01:11:17,800 –> 01:11:21,520
We must put humanity before politics. The enamer of our
1081
01:11:21,640 –> 01:11:26,560
dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence and indifference. It
1082
01:11:26,720 –> 01:11:30,680
must be founded on compassion, courage and the result to act,
1083
01:11:31,199 –> 01:11:34,560
especially when it matters most. May the soul of young
1084
01:11:34,680 –> 01:11:37,520
Martin on ye k c find rest and may his
1085
01:11:37,680 –> 01:11:41,600
death not be in vain. Doctor George Mogulu, Labor Party
1086
01:11:41,720 –> 01:11:44,920
governorship candidate in a Nambra State, stated this on Friday
1087
01:11:45,000 –> 01:11:49,880
August first, twenty twenty five. Former lawyer to Namdicanu, the
1088
01:11:49,960 –> 01:11:53,159
detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra I p
1089
01:11:53,359 –> 01:11:57,159
O B. Barrister Aphani he Giophour, in a statement said
1090
01:11:57,600 –> 01:12:01,199
the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of Affair Tasinnachi on Yaqulu,
1091
01:12:01,520 –> 01:12:05,720
popularly known as Fish Magnet, in orca an Amber State,
1092
01:12:06,199 –> 01:12:09,159
is yet another chilling reminder that our homeland is bleeding
1093
01:12:09,479 –> 01:12:12,319
and we are running out of time to act. Just
1094
01:12:12,520 –> 01:12:16,399
last week, social medium was awash with heart wrenching reports
1095
01:12:16,439 –> 01:12:19,159
of how this promising young man was kidnapped in his
1096
01:12:19,319 –> 01:12:23,560
own home at zini Fite community of Puno Orcasouth local
1097
01:12:23,600 –> 01:12:27,680
government area during a late night invasion by gunman. He
1098
01:12:27,880 –> 01:12:31,760
was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an undisclosed
1099
01:12:31,840 –> 01:12:36,600
ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi, was
1100
01:12:36,680 –> 01:12:40,279
the only son of his family, one life brutally snuffed out,
1101
01:12:40,720 –> 01:12:44,640
a family shattered beyond repair, and a community thrown into mourning.
1102
01:12:45,399 –> 01:12:48,920
I condemn this dastardly act in the strongest possible terms.
1103
01:12:49,399 –> 01:12:52,399
I call on the Governor of an Ambra State, security
1104
01:12:52,479 –> 01:12:56,479
agencies and every community stakeholder to rise to the occasion,
1105
01:12:57,000 –> 01:13:00,600
not merely to issue statements, but to act decisively, hunt
1106
01:13:00,680 –> 01:13:04,560
down these murderers, bring them to justice, and urgently strengthen
1107
01:13:04,640 –> 01:13:08,760
the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed. But let us
1108
01:13:08,840 –> 01:13:12,479
not deceive ourselves. This is more than an isolated tragedy.
1109
01:13:13,239 –> 01:13:16,079
It is a symptom of a larger, deadlier disease that
1110
01:13:16,239 –> 01:13:19,239
is eating deep into the soul of ana Igbo a
1111
01:13:19,359 –> 01:13:23,760
disturbing trend where crime is romanticized, killers are shielded, and
1112
01:13:23,880 –> 01:13:28,319
absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media to justify barbarity.
1113
01:13:29,159 –> 01:13:34,319
Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly defend these murderers.
1114
01:13:35,119 –> 01:13:38,720
Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable claim that the
1115
01:13:38,760 –> 01:13:43,640
gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls in arndizroguwa Fulani
1116
01:13:43,720 –> 01:13:48,159
herdsman who must did Igbo language, What a tragic delusion?
1117
01:13:48,520 –> 01:13:51,560
Must death knock at your door before you accept reality?
1118
01:13:51,960 –> 01:13:55,239
And then there is the digital complicity, the growing chorus
1119
01:13:55,279 –> 01:13:58,319
of voices on line excusing or minimizing the blood bath
1120
01:13:58,439 –> 01:14:02,399
ravaging IMO’s State and other parts of the Southeast. Many
1121
01:14:02,520 –> 01:14:08,000
victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear, while some communities, particularly
1122
01:14:08,079 –> 01:14:11,439
in the Achigue axis, have literally been conquered by criminal
1123
01:14:11,560 –> 01:14:14,520
gangs who now dictate life and death within the domains.
1124
01:14:15,359 –> 01:14:19,359
The most frightening part the reckless energy our own people
1125
01:14:19,520 –> 01:14:23,399
expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they
1126
01:14:23,399 –> 01:14:27,920
are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings
1127
01:14:28,000 –> 01:14:31,199
under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates
1128
01:14:31,239 –> 01:14:34,760
wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman,
1129
01:14:35,079 –> 01:14:38,359
whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided.
1130
01:14:39,159 –> 01:14:42,800
Let this be crystal clear. Crime is crime, no matter
1131
01:14:42,880 –> 01:14:46,800
who commits it. A criminal is not a hero. Anyone
1132
01:14:46,920 –> 01:14:50,000
involved in these heinous acts must be decisively dealt with,
1133
01:14:50,479 –> 01:14:55,560
without ethnic excuses, without sympathy, and without protection under any guise.
1134
01:14:56,439 –> 01:14:59,960
To my dismay, only yesterday I saw a report papot
1135
01:15:00,079 –> 01:15:03,960
to be authored by alleged Umuaka community trying desperately to
1136
01:15:04,079 –> 01:15:07,119
downplay the scale of kidnappings and killings in their area.
1137
01:15:07,920 –> 01:15:10,800
I ask, what message are we sending to a people
1138
01:15:10,920 –> 01:15:14,000
who now live under siege, a community where fear is
1139
01:15:14,079 –> 01:15:18,000
the new normal. The hard truth is this security is
1140
01:15:18,079 –> 01:15:23,319
not the responsibility of government alone. It is a collective duty. Sadly,
1141
01:15:23,760 –> 01:15:28,239
the conventional security architecture appears to have abandoned hapless citizens
1142
01:15:28,279 –> 01:15:31,319
of imost state to their fate, either by wilful act
1143
01:15:31,399 –> 01:15:36,239
of dereliction of duty, compromise or collusion. But we as
1144
01:15:36,279 –> 01:15:40,960
a people cannot and must not abandon ourselves. This is
1145
01:15:41,039 –> 01:15:44,079
a wake up call. If we do not unite against
1146
01:15:44,159 –> 01:15:48,399
this evil now, it will consume us all tomorrow. It
1147
01:15:48,520 –> 01:15:52,279
could be your brother, your sister, your only son. The
1148
01:15:52,399 –> 01:15:56,720
time to act is now. Sir Feannyegio for Esquire stated
1149
01:15:56,800 –> 01:16:09,399
this on Saturday, August second, twenty twenty five. Nigeria President
1150
01:16:09,800 –> 01:16:13,479
Bola armed Tanubu has called on online content creators to
1151
01:16:13,600 –> 01:16:17,439
create jobs for others, saying the digital media is now
1152
01:16:17,520 –> 01:16:20,960
a central driver of economic growth, while emphasizing that the
1153
01:16:21,000 –> 01:16:24,159
youths are no longer waiting to be invited into the future,
1154
01:16:24,479 –> 01:16:28,239
that they are already building the future. Details of the
1155
01:16:28,319 –> 01:16:31,720
President’s statement, as made available in a news release signed
1156
01:16:31,800 –> 01:16:36,119
by the presidential spokesperson, Bao on Anuga on Friday, reads
1157
01:16:36,239 –> 01:16:40,920
verbatim below. President Bola Ahmed Tanubu on Friday called on
1158
01:16:41,079 –> 01:16:44,600
young Nigerians active in the digital media space to harness
1159
01:16:44,680 –> 01:16:48,880
their platforms as instruments of national progress. He urged them
1160
01:16:48,920 –> 01:16:53,119
to build businesses that create employment, produce content that reflects
1161
01:16:53,239 –> 01:16:57,479
unifying values, and serve as positive catalysts for societal development.
1162
01:16:58,319 –> 01:17:02,159
He emphasized the critical import ortance of verifying information before
1163
01:17:02,239 –> 01:17:06,319
amplifying it. But the opening of the Progressive’s Digital Media Summit,
1164
01:17:06,720 –> 01:17:11,159
themed unveiling the critical role of new media in national development,
1165
01:17:11,520 –> 01:17:16,640
President Tanoubu said, your generation has recognized this moment. You
1166
01:17:16,720 –> 01:17:21,319
are using digital tools to innovate, educate, and demand accountability.
1167
01:17:22,039 –> 01:17:25,520
But as your influence grows, so must our collective sense
1168
01:17:25,560 –> 01:17:29,560
of purpose and responsibility. I urge you to continue using
1169
01:17:29,640 –> 01:17:34,479
digital platforms to advance our nation’s progress. Build businesses that
1170
01:17:34,640 –> 01:17:39,359
employ others, create content that uplifts and unites. Use your
1171
01:17:39,439 –> 01:17:43,920
influence to foster unity, not division. He commended the creativity
1172
01:17:44,000 –> 01:17:47,560
and resilience of Nigeria’s youth as he described digital media
1173
01:17:47,680 –> 01:17:51,840
as a driving force of economic and social transformation. It
1174
01:17:52,000 –> 01:17:55,119
is no longer merely an accessory to life, he said.
1175
01:17:55,920 –> 01:18:00,600
From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online community, you
1176
01:18:00,680 –> 01:18:04,199
are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible
1177
01:18:04,279 –> 01:18:07,359
for this country. You are not waiting for the future,
1178
01:18:07,800 –> 01:18:11,239
you are building it. Digital media is now a central
1179
01:18:11,359 –> 01:18:16,399
driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change. It
1180
01:18:16,520 –> 01:18:21,199
broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said his
1181
01:18:21,279 –> 01:18:25,319
administration is committed to supporting digital innovation through the National
1182
01:18:25,439 –> 01:18:29,119
Digital Innovation Fund and policies that promote a thriving start
1183
01:18:29,199 –> 01:18:34,279
up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant against
1184
01:18:34,319 –> 01:18:38,479
disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,
1185
01:18:38,920 –> 01:18:43,560
Femi Bajabia Mila praised digital media practitioners who have consistently
1186
01:18:43,600 –> 01:18:46,760
stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on
1187
01:18:46,840 –> 01:18:50,319
the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn
1188
01:18:50,439 –> 01:18:55,920
Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanoubu’s leadership,
1189
01:18:56,239 –> 01:18:59,600
our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness.
1190
01:19:00,439 –> 01:19:03,560
The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he
1191
01:19:03,720 –> 01:19:07,560
stated in a good will message. The Special Adviser to
1192
01:19:07,600 –> 01:19:11,960
the President on Information and Strategy, Bao on Anuga, highlighted
1193
01:19:12,000 –> 01:19:15,520
the significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from
1194
01:19:15,600 –> 01:19:19,399
recent elections in countries like the US and Germany underscore
1195
01:19:19,479 –> 01:19:24,319
how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment
1196
01:19:24,760 –> 01:19:29,239
for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a
1197
01:19:29,359 –> 01:19:33,239
fair battleground as a public square. It is often chaotic
1198
01:19:33,319 –> 01:19:39,079
and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules. Divisive content is rampant,
1199
01:19:39,359 –> 01:19:43,000
Leap fakes and eye generated content are increasingly used against
1200
01:19:43,079 –> 01:19:47,920
political opponents. Posts are driven by cliques, not true for accuracy.
1201
01:19:48,399 –> 01:19:53,119
Misinformation spreads five times faster than official corrections on an
1202
01:19:53,239 –> 01:19:57,000
Uga observed. He expressed optimism that the summit would address
1203
01:19:57,079 –> 01:20:01,880
these challenges, focusing on strategies to about fake news and misinformation.
1204
01:20:02,800 –> 01:20:07,039
The summit convener, Schegan Dada, Special Assistant to the President
1205
01:20:07,159 –> 01:20:10,159
on New Media, emphasized that in less than a decade,
1206
01:20:10,520 –> 01:20:14,520
digital media has evolved from a tool of personal connection
1207
01:20:14,680 –> 01:20:19,479
into a powerful engine for communication, innovation and influence. He
1208
01:20:19,600 –> 01:20:22,359
stressed the importance of harnessing this force for the good
1209
01:20:22,439 –> 01:20:26,439
of Nigeria while managing inherent risks such as privacy concerns
1210
01:20:26,520 –> 01:20:28,199
and threats to social cohesion.
1211
01:20:30,840 –> 01:20:36,159
Speaker 8: It is a privilege to address you and this important
1212
01:20:36,319 –> 01:20:43,560
Digiti Media Summit. The theme of this gathering un villain
1213
01:20:43,680 –> 01:20:50,760
the central role of new media in national development captures
1214
01:20:50,840 –> 01:20:53,880
disperage of at times.
1215
01:20:55,439 –> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 4: And that of our nation. Across Nigeria.
1216
01:21:01,359 –> 01:21:06,359
Speaker 8: We are witnessing a surge of creativity and ambition as
1217
01:21:06,439 –> 01:21:12,319
young Nagian and as digital media to share their voices.
1218
01:21:13,439 –> 01:21:15,359
Speaker 4: And shape our society.
1219
01:21:17,560 –> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 8: From developing new platform to building firebrands online communities, you
1220
01:21:26,000 –> 01:21:33,399
are demonstrating ingenuity and a commitmental progress that is redifining
1221
01:21:34,199 –> 01:21:38,840
what is possible for this country. You are that possibility.
1222
01:21:41,079 –> 01:21:43,920
You are not waiting to be invited into the future.
1223
01:21:45,439 –> 01:21:55,720
You are building the future. New media is no longer
1224
01:21:57,079 –> 01:22:00,840
and as such strate to our national life. It is
1225
01:22:01,119 –> 01:22:08,359
fast becoming a central driver of economic growth, civic engagement,
1226
01:22:09,359 –> 01:22:15,359
and social change. It is creating opportunities for millions of
1227
01:22:15,479 –> 01:22:25,840
young people, reducing conventional barriers to participation in politics, an
1228
01:22:26,079 –> 01:22:32,680
enabling broader representation of those who would previously have gone
1229
01:22:33,079 –> 01:22:33,560
or hard.
1230
01:22:36,039 –> 01:22:38,520
Speaker 4: Your generation has understood this moment.
1231
01:22:40,279 –> 01:22:46,560
Speaker 8: You are using digital tools to innovate, to educate, and
1232
01:22:46,720 –> 01:22:53,920
to demand accountability. But as this influence grows, so tumorst
1233
01:22:54,039 –> 01:23:01,560
of our collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I own
1234
01:23:01,640 –> 01:23:08,760
you to continue using digital platforms as instrument of national progress,
1235
01:23:10,159 –> 01:23:17,359
but you should build businesses that employ others, create content
1236
01:23:17,520 –> 01:23:19,399
that uplift those around you.
1237
01:23:20,880 –> 01:23:27,079
Speaker 4: Use your influence to force the unity and not division.
1238
01:23:35,760 –> 01:23:40,039
Speaker 8: We are in a world where this information spread easily.
1239
01:23:41,239 –> 01:23:47,239
Verify before you amplify. Please let the digital space reflect
1240
01:23:47,319 –> 01:23:55,239
the value that bind us together as a people. Honestly, compassionate,
1241
01:23:56,319 –> 01:24:04,760
discipline and patriotism. Patriotism is not about slogans and politicood theater.
1242
01:24:06,119 –> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 4: It is about words, we contribute to the common good.
1243
01:24:12,920 –> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 8: Every gap and every app you design, every story you tell,
1244
01:24:22,359 –> 01:24:27,159
every brand you build is a statement to.
1245
01:24:27,319 –> 01:24:32,039
Speaker 4: The world about who we are and what we stand
1246
01:24:32,159 –> 01:24:33,760
for as a nation.
1247
01:24:36,399 –> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 8: This administration understands the important of this new frontier. That’s
1248
01:24:43,600 –> 01:24:48,760
where that is why we are making strategic investments in
1249
01:24:48,960 –> 01:24:50,920
digital and FRA structure.
1250
01:24:51,119 –> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 4: And broadband expansion.
1251
01:24:54,359 –> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 8: We are committed to ensuring that aside study, internet is
1252
01:25:00,000 –> 01:25:04,680
not the privilege for the view but a.
1253
01:25:04,880 –> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 4: Right enjoyed the all egeriums.
1254
01:25:14,680 –> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 8: We are also supporting innovation through the National Digital Innovation
1255
01:25:21,279 –> 01:25:28,039
Fund and not turning the startup ecosystem. With policies that
1256
01:25:28,359 –> 01:25:34,399
promote growth and reduced or necessary regulation. We will not
1257
01:25:34,840 –> 01:25:41,800
lose focus on cybersecurity. Every Nigeria has a right to
1258
01:25:41,960 –> 01:25:47,640
be protected in both the physical and digital domains.
1259
01:25:54,800 –> 01:25:58,239
Speaker 4: And you are the young people of this country.
1260
01:25:59,479 –> 01:26:04,279
Speaker 8: You remain the most important, the most important investment.
1261
01:26:05,840 –> 01:26:07,199
Speaker 4: You are of a nation.
1262
01:26:08,439 –> 01:26:14,279
Speaker 8: Your ideas, your energy, and your commitment to national development
1263
01:26:15,439 –> 01:26:25,640
among Nagerian’s greatest assets. So I challenge you to use
1264
01:26:25,720 –> 01:26:34,920
your platforms not only for self expression, anger or retaliation,
1265
01:26:36,399 –> 01:26:41,960
but from problem solving to build solutions that address our
1266
01:26:42,159 –> 01:26:49,119
nation’s needs to mentor others as we grow, and to
1267
01:26:49,279 –> 01:26:54,079
promote digital literacy and accountability in every.
1268
01:26:54,039 –> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 4: Corner of our society.
1269
01:27:01,880 –> 01:27:08,359
Speaker 8: Let your leadership be defined by integrity. Let your digital
1270
01:27:08,560 –> 01:27:14,039
footprints reflect the best of our nation. Let your actions
1271
01:27:14,079 –> 01:27:20,600
speak of a generation that did not wait for permission
1272
01:27:21,199 –> 01:27:27,680
to lead, stepped forward with your courage and with clerity.
1273
01:27:33,000 –> 01:27:38,479
Nigerian’s path of prosperity will be shaped by many forces.
1274
01:27:39,359 –> 01:27:46,039
Speaker 4: Let yours inclusive and relevant, but.
1275
01:27:46,279 –> 01:27:50,199
Speaker 8: None will be more positive than the choices made by
1276
01:27:50,279 –> 01:27:55,039
those who dire to imagine and who processes the skill
1277
01:27:55,640 –> 01:27:56,199
to build.
1278
01:27:57,880 –> 01:28:05,319
Speaker 4: Just imagine, Yah, the back Hones are great female footballers.
1279
01:28:11,560 –> 01:28:12,520
Speaker 3: They were down.
1280
01:28:13,880 –> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 4: To zero before after.
1281
01:28:20,920 –> 01:28:24,560

1513
01:44:26,119 –> 01:44:29,960

01:44:38,359 –> 01:44:41,760
After the Thai side complied with the ceasefire agreement after
1517
01:44:41,880 –> 01:44:44,960
twenty four hundred hours and closely monitored and tracked the
1518
01:44:45,039 –> 01:44:49,520
front line situation. Military units in the area reported Cambodian
1519
01:44:49,600 –> 01:44:53,800
military operations in multiple incidents throughout the night until this morning.
1520
01:44:54,640 –> 01:44:58,079
Disturbances and the use of supporting weapons firing into Thai
1521
01:44:58,239 –> 01:45:02,199
territory were found in several areas including chong Boc Area,
1522
01:45:02,600 –> 01:45:07,439
chong An Area, Samtei Area, Prasatta Kwai area, and fumar
1523
01:45:07,600 –> 01:45:11,600
Hua area. The Thai side responded to the situation by
1524
01:45:11,680 –> 01:45:15,520
deploying frontline forces and using supporting weapons to suppress the
1525
01:45:15,600 –> 01:45:21,600
Cambodian military operations. Regarding this case, Major General Wintai Subri
1526
01:45:22,079 –> 01:45:26,560
Army spokesperson issued a statement that following the joint agreement
1527
01:45:26,720 –> 01:45:30,119
reached between the Thai government and the Cambodian government to
1528
01:45:30,199 –> 01:45:34,279
seize military combat along the border area effective from twenty
1529
01:45:34,359 –> 01:45:37,600
four hundred hours on the twenty eighth of July twenty
1530
01:45:37,720 –> 01:45:41,439
twenty five, to create an opportunity for a peaceful atmosphere,
1531
01:45:41,800 –> 01:45:47,199
reduced tensions and promote cooperation between neighbouring countries. The Royal
1532
01:45:47,319 –> 01:45:50,640
Thai Army clarified that the Thai side strictly complied with
1533
01:45:50,760 –> 01:45:53,800
the said agreement by implementing a ceasefire in the Thai
1534
01:45:53,920 –> 01:45:58,319
Cambodia border area immediately upon the designated time, with sincere
1535
01:45:58,439 –> 01:46:02,039
intentions and firm adhere rance to the mutual commitment agreed
1536
01:46:02,159 –> 01:46:06,479
upon by both governments. However, it is deeply regrettable that
1537
01:46:06,600 –> 01:46:10,960
at the designated time, the Thai side continued to detect
1538
01:46:11,000 –> 01:46:14,119
that the Cambodian side had used weapons to attack Thai
1539
01:46:14,319 –> 01:46:18,439
territory at multiple points, which constitutes a deliberate violation of
1540
01:46:18,520 –> 01:46:21,560
the agreement with the intention of destroying the system of
1541
01:46:21,680 –> 01:46:26,399
mutual trust. The Royal Thai Army therefore condemns such actions,
1542
01:46:26,760 –> 01:46:29,920
and the Thai side finds it necessary to implement appropriate
1543
01:46:30,000 –> 01:46:34,199
retaliatory measures under the legitimate right of self defense. The
1544
01:46:34,359 –> 01:46:37,199
Royal Thai Army affirms that the Thai side did not
1545
01:46:37,439 –> 01:46:40,880
use military force for aggression, but to defend against encroachment
1546
01:46:40,960 –> 01:46:46,399
and maintain national sovereignty under international rules. Additionally, the Army
1547
01:46:46,439 –> 01:46:51,079
spokesperson disclosed regarding the scheduled meeting between military unit leaders
1548
01:46:51,119 –> 01:46:54,159

01:46:54,560 –> 01:46:58,319
that efforts continue to proceed with discussions between military leaders
1550
01:46:58,359 –> 01:47:01,760

in the performance of the duty to protect national sovereignty,

01:47:53,880 –> 01:47:56,000
and it will provide the best care for the rights

and welfare of the families and descendants of these brave
1565
01:47:59,079 –> 01:48:02,600

1568
01:48:11,479 –> 01:48:15,520
National Defense has rejected the allegations made by a spokesperson
1569
01:48:15,640 –> 01:48:19,159
for the Royal Thai Army who accused Cambodian forces of
1570
01:48:19,279 –> 01:48:23,720
continuing to open fire despite the agreed ceasefire. Speaking at
1571
01:48:23,760 –> 01:48:27,800
a press briefing, Ministry spokesperson Mainly Soaki To said the
1572
01:48:27,960 –> 01:48:33,000
Royal Cambodian Armed Forces RCAF have been strictly implementing the
1573
01:48:33,079 –> 01:48:37,720
ceasefire agreement made between the two countries leaders. We strongly
1574
01:48:37,840 –> 01:48:41,399
reject the claims made by the Thai military spokesperson who
1575
01:48:41,439 –> 01:48:46,239
alleged gunfire exchanges and violations of the ceasefire agreement. She said,
1576
01:48:47,039 –> 01:48:51,239
Cambodian forces have strictly implemented and will continue to strictly
1577
01:48:51,319 –> 01:48:55,640
implement the Army Command’s instructions and the ceasefire agreement, which
1578
01:48:55,720 –> 01:48:59,880
took effect at midnight. She added. A statement made available
1579
01:49:00,039 –> 01:49:03,680
by the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia indicated
1580
01:49:03,720 –> 01:49:06,680
that the Cambodian PM says there’s no time to rest
1581
01:49:06,760 –> 01:49:11,319
despite ceasefire. Prime Minister Sandek Moha Borva the pad han
1582
01:49:11,439 –> 01:49:14,439
Mane said this morning that he cannot rest even though
1583
01:49:14,479 –> 01:49:18,039
the frontline situation has eased following the ceasefire. That took
1584
01:49:18,079 –> 01:49:21,600
effect at midnight in accordance with the agreement reached between
1585
01:49:21,720 –> 01:49:25,319
Cambodia and Thailand at the special meeting in Malaysia yesterday.
1586
01:49:26,119 –> 01:49:29,520
In a post on his social media platform, Sandek the
1587
01:49:29,640 –> 01:49:33,760
Pad said that many critical tasks lie ahead, including monitoring
1588
01:49:33,840 –> 01:49:38,720
the situation on the ground, supporting frontline forces, implementing appropriate
1589
01:49:38,800 –> 01:49:43,119
policies for wounded and fallen soldiers, assisting hundreds of thousands
1590
01:49:43,159 –> 01:49:46,560
of displaced people, and addressing the large scale return of
1591
01:49:46,640 –> 01:49:50,920
Cambodian workers from Thailand. He added that his top priority
1592
01:49:51,039 –> 01:49:53,920
in recent days has been to find a swift solution
1593
01:49:54,119 –> 01:49:57,279
to end the fighting in order to save lives, both
1594
01:49:57,399 –> 01:50:01,479
military and civilian in the conflict zone. The sooner the
1595
01:50:01,560 –> 01:50:05,800
fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially the displaced,
1596
01:50:06,119 –> 01:50:09,640
can return to their homes and resume their livelihoods, he wrote.
1597
01:50:10,359 –> 01:50:12,600
At a time when the nation and our people are
1598
01:50:12,640 –> 01:50:16,560
facing hardship, I may look a little older because of
1599
01:50:16,600 –> 01:50:20,039
the gray hairs, he joked. Even if I look older
1600
01:50:20,079 –> 01:50:22,399
and feel a little less strong than I did ten
1601
01:50:22,479 –> 01:50:26,760
years ago, my determination to face these challenges remains unwavering.
1602
01:50:27,600 –> 01:50:30,319
Let’s wait until the army and people are safe and
1603
01:50:30,439 –> 01:50:33,199
the country has returned to peace, then it won’t be
1604
01:50:33,319 –> 01:50:37,399
too late to dye my hair. Sandek Hachamo Hussein arpad
1605
01:50:37,640 –> 01:50:41,960
Teko Hansen, President of the Senate of Cambodia, has praised
1606
01:50:42,000 –> 01:50:45,920
the cease fire initiative of US President Donald Trump, stressing
1607
01:50:46,000 –> 01:50:49,000
that the achievement of the remarkable initiative has saved the
1608
01:50:49,119 –> 01:50:52,239
lives of tens of thousands of people from the Cambodia
1609
01:50:52,720 –> 01:50:56,760
Thailand War. First of all, I would like to express
1610
01:50:56,840 –> 01:51:00,479

1612
01:51:04,720 –> 01:51:08,720
and Thailand. This initiative is a tremendous achievement that has
1613
01:51:08,840 –> 01:51:12,520
helped save countless lives in both Cambodia and Thailand, he
1614
01:51:12,640 –> 01:51:16,319
said in a Facebook post last night. The Senate president
1615
01:51:16,439 –> 01:51:20,880
also thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibraheim, who helped
1616
01:51:21,039 –> 01:51:25,359
organize the meeting venue and facilitated this ceasefire agreement. This
1617
01:51:25,520 –> 01:51:29,439
ceasefire and peace agreement is yielding positive and effective results,
1618
01:51:29,800 –> 01:51:35,279
he emphasized. Moreover, sandeg teco hun Sen extended his gratitude
1619
01:51:35,319 –> 01:51:37,840
to China for its support as well as to all
1620
01:51:37,920 –> 01:51:42,079
friendly nations that have endorsed this ceasefire agreement. I also
1621
01:51:42,199 –> 01:51:45,680
wish to thank the people of Cambodia and Thailand, along
1622
01:51:45,760 –> 01:51:49,239
with both nations armed forces for their steadfast support of
1623
01:51:49,279 –> 01:51:54,479
this peace process, he concluded. Cambodia Ministry of Information reported
1624
01:51:54,560 –> 01:51:59,279
that the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said approximately
1625
01:51:59,319 –> 01:52:03,399
two hundred three thousand, seven hundred and six Cambodian workers
1626
01:52:03,520 –> 01:52:07,560
returned from Thailand between July twenty fourth and July twenty seventh,
1627
01:52:07,640 –> 01:52:12,760
twenty twenty five. Notably, one hundred twenty thousand, four hundred
1628
01:52:13,000 –> 01:52:17,920
thirty eight Cambodians return just yesterday. Today, more than one
1629
01:52:18,039 –> 01:52:21,880
hundred fifty thousand additional workers are expected to return from
1630
01:52:21,960 –> 01:52:26,640
Thailand to Cambodia. Over this five day period, nearly four
1631
01:52:26,760 –> 01:52:31,840
hundred thousand Cambodian workers will have returned. If the fighting continues,
1632
01:52:32,319 –> 01:52:35,880
even more likely to come back. We had reported that
1633
01:52:35,960 –> 01:52:39,159
the Royal Thai Army and the Cambodian National Ministry of
1634
01:52:39,279 –> 01:52:43,079
Defense have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed
1635
01:52:43,119 –> 01:52:47,000
civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in
1636
01:52:47,119 –> 01:52:51,319
Now on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early
1637
01:52:51,439 –> 01:52:55,039
in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday
1638
01:52:55,239 –> 01:52:58,880
night to Sunday morning night, despite President Donald Trump of
1639
01:52:58,920 –> 01:53:02,399
the United States u S statement on Saturday that he
1640
01:53:02,479 –> 01:53:05,560
has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of
1641
01:53:05,720 –> 01:53:09,840
Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the
1642
01:53:09,920 –> 01:53:13,159
two parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure
1643
01:53:13,239 –> 01:53:16,640
to do so, according to Trump, US will not make
1644
01:53:16,720 –> 01:53:20,920
any business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said,
1645
01:53:21,279 –> 01:53:25,159
we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on trade
1646
01:53:25,279 –> 01:53:27,920
with both countries, but do not want to make any
1647
01:53:28,000 –> 01:53:31,239
deal with either country if they are fighting, and I
1648
01:53:31,359 –> 01:53:34,279
have told them so. The call with Thailand is being
1649
01:53:34,359 –> 01:53:38,319
made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect
1650
01:53:38,399 –> 01:53:41,680
a call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based
1651
01:53:41,840 –> 01:53:44,960
on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to
1652
01:53:45,079 –> 01:53:48,880
simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in
1653
01:53:49,000 –> 01:53:51,600
this war, but it very much reminds me of the
1654
01:53:51,720 –> 01:53:55,279
conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a
1655
01:53:55,359 –> 01:53:59,640
successful halt. We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming
1656
01:53:59,680 –> 01:54:02,319
a co continent of War’s hope of achieving peace in
1657
01:54:02,439 –> 01:54:06,039
the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh
1658
01:54:06,159 –> 01:54:08,960
wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas
1659
01:54:09,079 –> 01:54:13,119
attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multi front wars
1660
01:54:13,199 –> 01:54:17,800
in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia,
1661
01:54:17,840 –> 01:54:20,479
that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in
1662
01:54:20,600 –> 01:54:24,000
twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its
1663
01:54:24,039 –> 01:54:28,920
neighboring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led
1664
01:54:28,960 –> 01:54:32,039
to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting
1665
01:54:32,119 –> 01:54:35,319
an end soon. But while many in the world hoped
1666
01:54:35,359 –> 01:54:38,520
for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war
1667
01:54:38,640 –> 01:54:41,720
broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast
1668
01:54:41,800 –> 01:54:46,279
Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai
1669
01:54:46,560 –> 01:54:50,720
Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a
1670
01:54:50,880 –> 01:54:55,439
landmine at huaiban Chong and Ma nan Yuen District, uben
1671
01:54:55,520 –> 01:54:59,920
Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing severe
1672
01:55:00,119 –> 01:55:04,279
injury to one Thailand soldier, while four other soldiers sustained
1673
01:55:04,359 –> 01:55:07,920
some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of
1674
01:55:08,000 –> 01:55:12,239
Thailand Funtham we Chaiai to recall the country’s ambassador from
1675
01:55:12,319 –> 01:55:16,520
Panom Pen and expelled Cambodia’s ambassador to Thailand, leading to
1676
01:55:16,600 –> 01:55:21,680
heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news
1677
01:55:21,720 –> 01:55:26,359
agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians,
1678
01:55:26,880 –> 01:55:30,680
including children, pregnant women and the elderly, have been forced
1679
01:55:30,720 –> 01:55:35,119
to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Pria, Vihir,
1680
01:55:35,479 –> 01:55:39,600
Odaminchi and Persit, and The Royal Thai Army also on
1681
01:55:39,840 –> 01:55:42,760
Saturday released a video of its men hoisting the Thai
1682
01:55:42,920 –> 01:55:45,920
flag at a location and stated that the Thai national
1683
01:55:46,119 –> 01:55:50,720
flag was raised atop Fu Maquaya following Thai military operations
1684
01:55:50,760 –> 01:55:53,840
to assault and seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it
1685
01:55:53,920 –> 01:55:57,520
said the Cambodian forces had been heavily positioned, adding that
1686
01:55:57,600 –> 01:56:01,039
the area was successfully captured during the evening of war
1687
01:56:01,159 –> 01:56:05,600
on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat,
1688
01:56:05,600 –> 01:56:08,960
who is currently on suspension, lane the cause of the war,
1689
01:56:09,119 –> 01:56:14,159
on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems
1690
01:56:14,199 –> 01:56:16,920
from the Thai government’s efforts to crack down on call
1691
01:56:17,039 –> 01:56:21,640
center crimes dismantling a network of immense financial interests linked
1692
01:56:21,720 –> 01:56:27,079
to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the Prime Minister of Cambodia,
1693
01:56:27,439 –> 01:56:31,439
Sandek Mohaborva Thapadai han Mane, in a statement called on
1694
01:56:31,640 –> 01:56:35,880
Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living
1695
01:56:35,960 –> 01:56:39,760
in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister of Malaysia
1696
01:56:39,840 –> 01:56:43,479
and the rotating chairman of Vizian, Hanwai Rahem, intervened in
1697

1699

But an hour after malaysia Prime minister told him that

01:56:54,159 –> 01:56:58,359
Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded its decision
1701
