00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Namra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria

2
00:00:03,120 –> 00:00:06,679
experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in

3
00:00:06,759 –> 00:00:09,240
some cases do lead to the death of the abducted

4
00:00:09,320 –> 00:00:12,839
victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons

5
00:00:12,919 –> 00:00:15,960
around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage

6
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:20,079
taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters gathered that

7
00:00:20,120 –> 00:00:23,160
there is hardly no week without one or two persons

8
00:00:23,239 –> 00:00:26,679
being kidnapped along the Innichhare, a wary federal road in

9
00:00:26,719 –> 00:00:30,839
a Nambra state, especially between Over community and Ihiala town.

10
00:00:31,280 –> 00:00:34,119
As we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the

11
00:00:34,159 –> 00:00:38,240
state are hard working small and medium sized business owners

12
00:00:38,280 –> 00:00:41,240
who most of whom struggled out of poverty to become

13
00:00:41,399 –> 00:00:45,479
wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there may be no

14
00:00:45,640 –> 00:00:49,439
wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala or who road

15
00:00:49,600 –> 00:00:52,320
left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to

16
00:00:52,359 –> 00:00:56,359
the kidnappers, while in ober, wealthy people are being kidnapped

17
00:00:56,399 –> 00:00:59,600
quietly and ransom in millions are paid in silence to

18
00:00:59,640 –> 00:01:03,320
the kids. According to members of the community, a young

19
00:01:03,359 –> 00:01:07,079
successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the

20
00:01:07,120 –> 00:01:10,439
ober New Road and Old Road junctions shortly after he

21
00:01:10,519 –> 00:01:14,280
visited his building construction site. While we also learned that

22
00:01:14,359 –> 00:01:17,079
some people in the state to report or contract their

23
00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:19,680
friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the

24
00:01:19,760 –> 00:01:23,079
ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people

25
00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:26,400
have issue or dispute with their friends or co traders.

26
00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:29,680
It may interest you to know that the Enambra State

27
00:01:29,719 –> 00:01:33,359
Police Command recently arrested a twenty four year old male

28
00:01:33,480 –> 00:01:37,640
suspect Muanaye Victor for allegedly luring his friend to be

29
00:01:37,719 –> 00:01:41,959
kidnapped by his criminal gang Innuli Ihiala Local government area

30
00:01:42,079 –> 00:01:45,120
of the state, and they reportedly collected a ransom in

31
00:01:45,200 –> 00:01:48,719
dollars equivalent to five point three million narers with his

32
00:01:48,840 –> 00:01:51,840
gang members, just as government in a not too long

33
00:01:51,879 –> 00:01:55,519
distance time abducted a lawyer and two other persons in

34
00:01:55,519 –> 00:01:59,799
in polgu Aguata Local Government area of Anambra, in addition

35
00:01:59,840 –> 00:02:02,439
to the previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of

36
00:02:02,519 –> 00:02:06,560
De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea Worg by unknown gunmen after

37
00:02:06,599 –> 00:02:09,960
the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the New Ober

38
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:13,759
Newi Road in Idomili South Local Government area of a

39
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:16,520
Nambra State, with the number of those killed at the

40
00:02:16,520 –> 00:02:19,199
Porsche Nightclub said to be seven, but one of the

41
00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:23,000
security operatives was beheaded and another had his foot cut

42
00:02:23,000 –> 00:02:26,680
off and made away by the invading deadly kidnappers. This

43
00:02:26,759 –> 00:02:30,159
occurred shortly after a well known native doctor or which

44
00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:35,400
doctor Chidos in nawangu Aka, Aqua Okako Tiuaaki was kidnapped

45
00:02:35,759 –> 00:02:38,840
after his two personal aids killed in the vicinity of

46
00:02:38,879 –> 00:02:42,759
his hotel at ober community before the kidnappers effortlessly took

47
00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:45,879
him away and was released after ransom in millions were

48
00:02:45,919 –> 00:02:49,800
reportedly paid. That not all. On May twenty first, twenty

49
00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:54,120
twenty two, shortly after Professor Chikuma Saludo was sworn in

50
00:02:54,199 –> 00:02:59,520
as governor, Gunman abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata to constituency

51
00:02:59,639 –> 00:03:03,039
in the State House of Assembly, hok Chukua Koye. A

52
00:03:03,159 –> 00:03:10,159
Koye also known as Hoki Dioke represented Soludo’s state constituency Isoophia.

53
00:03:10,360 –> 00:03:13,879
A Koye was killed and beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril

54
00:03:13,960 –> 00:03:18,439
chi Egboka, six days after they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road,

55
00:03:18,759 –> 00:03:21,960
Anaroka local government area of the state, and their heads

56
00:03:21,960 –> 00:03:24,840
and bodies dumped along a roadside in the state, and

57
00:03:24,960 –> 00:03:28,479
in December twenty twenty four, another lawmaker in the State

58
00:03:28,520 –> 00:03:31,960
House of Assembly was kidnapped and killed and the victim,

59
00:03:32,159 –> 00:03:35,479
the lifeless body of the member representing Anicher North one

60
00:03:35,520 –> 00:03:40,120
constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka,

61
00:03:40,280 –> 00:03:44,000
was found along the Second Niger Bridge, with Azuka’s lifeless body,

62
00:03:44,319 –> 00:03:47,360
said to be already decomposing, was found by a joint

63
00:03:47,400 –> 00:03:50,879
team of security operatives forty four days after he was

64
00:03:50,960 –> 00:03:55,039
kidnapped on December twenty fourth, twenty twenty four along the

65
00:03:55,120 –> 00:03:59,599
Ugunerabaka Road in Inland Town, Anischa while returning home for

66
00:03:59,680 –> 00:04:04,240
Chris and The most prominent among the incessant cases of

67
00:04:04,319 –> 00:04:07,719
kidnapping in the state is Martin’s on Yekse, well known

68
00:04:07,759 –> 00:04:11,000
as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping and subsequent killing of the

69
00:04:11,039 –> 00:04:15,159
young small business owner sparked protest and public awareness like

70
00:04:15,319 –> 00:04:20,319
never before, with a social right activist, martinsoz Ka Veridartmann

71
00:04:20,319 –> 00:04:23,040
coming to the state earlier on Sunday and led a

72
00:04:23,079 –> 00:04:27,480
protest walk on Tuesday, which was tagged Candlelight Procession March

73
00:04:27,600 –> 00:04:30,560
in honour of Phish Magnet. One of the most recent

74
00:04:30,639 –> 00:04:35,360
victims of the unabated deadly monetary kidnapping business, apparently thriving

75
00:04:35,399 –> 00:04:38,720
in an Ambra like some other states in Nigeria, with

76
00:04:38,879 –> 00:04:41,839
Veridartmund saying during the protest that it may be right

77
00:04:41,920 –> 00:04:44,959
to say that kidnappers killed Phish Magnet, but the actual

78
00:04:45,040 –> 00:04:49,240
killers are the administrative failures of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo,

79
00:04:49,600 –> 00:04:54,000
the state governor, Senator Bolah Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria,

80
00:04:54,399 –> 00:04:59,639
General Christopher Musa, the Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken,

81
00:04:59,800 –> 00:05:02,639
the u Inspector General of Police and the local government

82
00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:05,959
area chairman or mayor, and accused him of incompetence in

83
00:05:06,040 –> 00:05:09,600
managing security matters in the state and the country at large,

84
00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:14,399
while the Enambra State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who

85
00:05:14,439 –> 00:05:18,240
also joined the campaign, said the campaign walk was not

86
00:05:18,279 –> 00:05:21,680
only about Phish Magnet, but a bold statement collectively made

87
00:05:21,759 –> 00:05:24,560
by an Ambra youths in solidarity and in support of

88
00:05:24,600 –> 00:05:27,720
the efforts of the security agencies in the state against

89
00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:32,399
killings and other crimes. After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated

90
00:05:32,439 –> 00:05:35,160
in a post that I’m glad I found this online

91
00:05:35,199 –> 00:05:38,000
and like I clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by

92
00:05:38,120 –> 00:05:43,240
Chukuma Charles Soludo, he was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu.

93
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:47,439
Ellipsis Dot, rest in peace, my name’s sake, Martin’s on

94
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:51,519
ye Kca Fessenachi Deer at Phish Magnet, you send me

95
00:05:51,560 –> 00:05:54,319
a DM and I didn’t see it. Even if I

96
00:05:54,399 –> 00:05:56,879
had seen it, I wouldn’t have responded because I have

97
00:05:57,000 –> 00:06:00,240
other priorities and a lot of issues going on, and

98
00:06:00,360 –> 00:06:03,279
I always think people give me things to have me

99
00:06:03,439 –> 00:06:06,759
advertise for them, so I don’t accept gift. When I

100
00:06:06,800 –> 00:06:09,959
saw your post on tunde ed nut page, I actually

101
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:12,920
commented something funny to let you know I saw it.

102
00:06:13,279 –> 00:06:15,920
You were gone now and I sincerely wish I had

103
00:06:15,959 –> 00:06:19,920
collected the fish from you. Ellipsis dot dot. I will

104
00:06:20,079 –> 00:06:23,199
like to also beg Nigerians to support his business to

105
00:06:23,240 –> 00:06:26,720
his legacy continues. It should not be a case where

106
00:06:26,720 –> 00:06:29,199
because he is no more and then people will stop

107
00:06:29,240 –> 00:06:33,040
the patronage. The office and business is still operating. Follow

108
00:06:33,079 –> 00:06:37,680
at Fish Magnet they deliver nationwide. Lolai finally did the

109
00:06:37,759 –> 00:06:40,800
advert for you and you won’t even see it. Rest

110
00:06:40,879 –> 00:06:45,600
on King my namesake Tochukua Kenga, the Nambra State Police

111
00:06:45,639 –> 00:06:49,879
Command spokesperson, in a post also said it was a

112
00:06:49,920 –> 00:06:54,000
walk for peace, a stand against violent crime. The youths

113
00:06:54,040 –> 00:06:56,600
of Anambra came out in their numbers in a symbolic

114
00:06:56,720 –> 00:07:01,040
walk for peace, a collective stance against violent crime. It

115
00:07:01,160 –> 00:07:03,879
was not just a march for phish magnet. It was

116
00:07:03,920 –> 00:07:06,839
a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police and other

117
00:07:06,920 –> 00:07:12,800
security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all forms of criminality. Together,

118
00:07:13,199 –> 00:07:17,120
they echoed a clear message. Enough is enough. Criminals can

119
00:07:17,199 –> 00:07:19,879
no longer be allowed to terrorize an Amra’s state in

120
00:07:19,920 –> 00:07:24,439
the Southeast region. The time has come for unity, vigilance

121
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,720
and community driven action for a safer Anambra. An Ambras

122
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:34,399
State Association of Town Union HASATU Youth President Comrade Kennicoli,

123
00:07:34,759 –> 00:07:37,639
as well as an Ambra State Commissioner for Youth Development,

124
00:07:37,959 –> 00:07:42,199
Mister Patrick Akamber were also at the event, with almost

125
00:07:42,240 –> 00:07:45,360
all the protesters dressed in black and black matched from

126
00:07:45,399 –> 00:07:47,920
a Roma junction in the state capitol to the fish

127
00:07:47,920 –> 00:07:51,839
magnet factory in Orca. The protest did not take place

128
00:07:51,920 –> 00:07:56,199
without an earlier warning issued against forredarkmen by the police.

129
00:07:56,279 –> 00:07:59,480
The Nigeria Police Force had in a statement said the

130
00:07:59,519 –> 00:08:04,560
Commissioner of Police an Amera’s State Command CP iqa Oratugu

131
00:08:04,839 –> 00:08:10,839
f WCMNIPSPHD has issued a stern warning two social media

132
00:08:10,959 –> 00:08:16,279
influencer mister Martin’s Vincent Odds popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning

133
00:08:16,319 –> 00:08:20,199
him against making statements or taking actions capable of inciting

134
00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:24,319
tension or breaching public peace within the state. The CP

135
00:08:24,439 –> 00:08:26,879
noted the decision of the family of the late mister

136
00:08:27,680 –> 00:08:33,080
Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly

137
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:37,320
dissociate themselves from any proposed or ongoing candlelight procession or

138
00:08:37,360 –> 00:08:41,759
memorial gathering being organized in his name. They therefore pleaded

139
00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:44,519
that they should allow the family to grieve privately while

140
00:08:44,559 –> 00:08:48,799
trusting the authorities to do their work. The CP emphasized

141
00:08:48,799 –> 00:08:51,559
that an Amra’s state remains one of the most peaceful

142
00:08:51,600 –> 00:08:53,919
in the region due to the sustained efforts of the

143
00:08:53,919 –> 00:08:58,759
police and other security agencies in collaboration with critical stakeholders,

144
00:08:59,639 –> 00:09:03,960
stress that no individual, regardless of social status, would be

145
00:09:04,000 –> 00:09:07,519
allowed to disrupt the existing peace and security architecture of

146
00:09:07,559 –> 00:09:11,879
the state. CP or tougu urged residents and visitors alike

147
00:09:11,960 –> 00:09:15,720
to go about their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the

148
00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:20,159
Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order. He further advised

149
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:23,799
social media uses and public figures to exercise restraint and

150
00:09:23,879 –> 00:09:29,120
avoid spreading misinformation or making inciting remarks. The Command further

151
00:09:29,200 –> 00:09:34,039
warns that anyone found undermining public peace, either online or offline,

152
00:09:34,279 –> 00:09:37,000
will face the full weight of the law. We have

153
00:09:37,159 –> 00:09:40,279
reported that the Inambra State government under the leadership of

154
00:09:40,360 –> 00:09:43,639
Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is

155
00:09:43,720 –> 00:09:46,240
currently in search of justice over the killing of a

156
00:09:46,240 –> 00:09:50,480
young and creative fish farmer, Martin’s of Fessinachi on Ye kc,

157
00:09:51,080 –> 00:09:54,080
well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who

158
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:57,919
was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday,

159
00:09:57,960 –> 00:10:01,759
the twenty seventh of July twenty twent at his residence

160
00:10:01,799 –> 00:10:06,200
in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca, the Enambra State capital.

161
00:10:06,559 –> 00:10:10,759
This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party candidate in the

162
00:10:10,799 –> 00:10:14,440
forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that Anambra State

163
00:10:14,639 –> 00:10:17,919
is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed,

164
00:10:18,320 –> 00:10:21,440
sorted for their families to bury in silence, while the

165
00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:25,799
state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo luks the other way

166
00:10:26,159 –> 00:10:31,279
with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mongolou said,

167
00:10:31,759 –> 00:10:35,000
I must speak frankly. An amber is no longer safe,

168
00:10:35,279 –> 00:10:38,840
not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted,

169
00:10:39,159 –> 00:10:42,639
kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the

170
00:10:42,679 –> 00:10:47,159
other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,

171
00:10:47,559 –> 00:10:50,559
we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at

172
00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:54,360
Dmichi no We South local government area. Yet there was

173
00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:57,799
no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the

174
00:10:57,799 –> 00:11:02,759
state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies.

175
00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:06,480
Where is our conscience? Mongolu stated, while the former lawyer

176
00:11:06,519 –> 00:11:11,879
to Namdikanu, the detained Biafra Agitation leader, Barrister afany G four,

177
00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:15,399
said the people of the state are currently romancing with crimes,

178
00:11:15,720 –> 00:11:19,879
hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on social media to

179
00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:24,080
glorify and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying

180
00:11:24,399 –> 00:11:27,919
the most frightening part the reckless energy our own people

181
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:32,039
expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they

182
00:11:32,039 –> 00:11:36,000
are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings

183
00:11:36,080 –> 00:11:39,159
under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates

184
00:11:39,159 –> 00:11:42,919
wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman,

185
00:11:43,240 –> 00:11:46,480
whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided.

186
00:11:48,919 –> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: Affecting NAPAs fish magnets when Atwas says it is the gods.

187
00:11:58,279 –> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: In Latois says it.

188
00:12:00,360 –> 00:12:02,919
Speaker 2: Is Charlot that cute fish markets.

189
00:12:05,840 –> 00:12:07,600

said very discogy. You have the money.

198

Speaker 2: To have more policeman with more amis sauce mortals that

199
00:12:49,480 –> 00:12:54,639
can protect everybody it is. But for some reason, these

200
00:12:54,639 –> 00:12:59,279
people don’t care. Your two dren are living abroad. You

201
00:12:59,360 –> 00:13:02,279

356
00:24:07,480 –> 00:24:13,799
Speaker 8: QUINII A Nambra State government under the leadership of Governor

357
00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:17,119
Charles Chukuma Sludo, has said that the state is currently

358
00:24:17,200 –> 00:24:19,519
in search of justice over the killing of a young

359
00:24:19,559 –> 00:24:23,480
and creative fish farmer, Martin’s of Fessenachi On y KC,

360
00:24:24,079 –> 00:24:27,119
well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who

361
00:24:27,200 –> 00:24:30,920
was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday,

362
00:24:30,960 –> 00:24:34,200
the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his

363
00:24:34,319 –> 00:24:38,359
residence in Zini Fitte Village, Puno in Orca, the Enambra

364
00:24:38,440 –> 00:24:39,160
State capital.

365
00:24:39,559 –> 00:24:43,759
Speaker 1: This Dr George Mogulu, the Labour Party candidate in the

366
00:24:43,799 –> 00:24:46,960
forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that a Nambra

367
00:24:47,119 –> 00:24:50,480
State is no longer safe, adding that people are being

368
00:24:50,559 –> 00:24:54,279
killed sloughted for their families to bury in silence, while

369
00:24:54,319 –> 00:24:58,519
the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo looks the other

370
00:24:58,559 –> 00:25:04,279
way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mongolou said,

371
00:25:04,759 –> 00:25:08,000
I must speak frankly, an amberor is no longer safe,

372
00:25:08,240 –> 00:25:11,799
not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted,

373
00:25:12,119 –> 00:25:15,599
kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the

374
00:25:15,640 –> 00:25:20,119
other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,

375
00:25:20,519 –> 00:25:23,519
we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at

376
00:25:23,559 –> 00:25:27,319
Amchi no We South local government area. Yet there was

377
00:25:27,359 –> 00:25:30,720
no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the

378
00:25:30,759 –> 00:25:35,640
state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies.

379
00:25:35,960 –> 00:25:39,440
Where is our conscience? Mogolu stated, while the former lawyer

380
00:25:39,480 –> 00:25:44,079
to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biafra agitation leader, Barrister afangy

381
00:25:44,319 –> 00:25:46,960
g four, said the people of the state are currently

382
00:25:47,039 –> 00:25:51,680
romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on

383
00:25:51,759 –> 00:25:55,799
social media to glorify and justify the rising crimes in

384
00:25:55,839 –> 00:25:59,799
the state, saying the most frightening part the reckless energy

385
00:25:59,839 –> 00:26:03,920
our own people expend defending these killers. When you shield

386
00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:07,640
murderers because they are your kinsmen, you emboldenham when you

387
00:26:07,839 –> 00:26:11,640
justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride. You leave

388
00:26:11,680 –> 00:26:15,039
the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like

389
00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:18,519
armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we are weakest

390
00:26:18,519 –> 00:26:23,119
and most divided. A Nambra’s State Commissioner for Information Law

391
00:26:23,160 –> 00:26:26,160
Mepher made the government position known on Sunday after he

392
00:26:26,240 –> 00:26:29,319
led other government officials on a condolence visit to the

393
00:26:29,359 –> 00:26:31,799
bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to be the

394
00:26:31,799 –> 00:26:35,519

395
00:26:35,759 –> 00:26:41,359
APGA missus ester on Ya KC. According to Punch newspaper, Honyakre,

403
00:27:08,799 –> 00:27:11,960
state government is in search of justice while sustaining and

404
00:27:12,000 –> 00:27:16,559
strengthening security in the state. Mepher, who maintained that such

405
00:27:16,559 –> 00:27:19,920
a development is an affront to the Professor Chokuma Soludo

406
00:27:20,039 –> 00:27:24,359
Government’s new security architecture. Also expressed delight that the police

407
00:27:24,359 –> 00:27:27,880
are on the heels of the perpetrators. The Commissioner was

408
00:27:27,960 –> 00:27:30,880
quoted as having stated this when he paid a condolence

409
00:27:31,000 –> 00:27:33,759
visit to the woman leader of the Enambra’s State apger

410
00:27:34,279 –> 00:27:38,640
ester On Yeakese. According to the statement, the statement read

411
00:27:38,680 –> 00:27:43,279
in part, the Enambra State Commissioner for Information, Doctor law Mepher,

412
00:27:43,640 –> 00:27:46,599
recently paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of

the Enambra State All Progressives Grand Alliance, Missus ester On Yeakese,

414
00:27:51,799 –> 00:27:56,039
whose only son, Martina fessanaci On yaks a prominent fish

415
00:27:56,079 –> 00:27:59,720
dealer in the state popularly known as fish Magnet, was kidnapped.

416
00:27:59,720 –> 00:28:04,200
Added recently in an Ambra State, Meher, who described the

417
00:28:04,200 –> 00:28:08,519
fish dealer’s death as dastardly and heart wrenching, sympathized with

418
00:28:08,559 –> 00:28:11,839
the deceased mother, assuring her that the state government is

419
00:28:11,880 –> 00:28:15,119
with her in search of justice while sustaining and strengthening

420
00:28:15,160 –> 00:28:18,839
security in an Ambra State. He maintained that such a

421
00:28:18,880 –> 00:28:22,079
death is an affront to the solution government’s new security

422
00:28:22,200 –> 00:28:25,160
architecture and expressed happiness that the police are on the

423
00:28:25,200 –> 00:28:28,119
heels of the perpetrators and have issued a statement on

424
00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:31,079
the matter after recovering the vehicle in which they drove

425
00:28:31,160 –> 00:28:34,400
him away, adding that nobody can commit such a dastardly

426
00:28:34,440 –> 00:28:36,960
act in an Ambras state and get away with it.

427
00:28:37,720 –> 00:28:40,799
So may his sole rest in peace. We’ll fight and

428
00:28:40,880 –> 00:28:44,519
get him justice. The mother will get justice, the family

429
00:28:44,559 –> 00:28:48,319
will get justice, and an amoror will get justice. It’s

430
00:28:48,359 –> 00:28:51,079
a very painful loss for all of us and the

431
00:28:51,160 –> 00:28:54,640
government is always challenged when things like this happen because

432
00:28:54,680 –> 00:28:57,559
it’s an affront to the new security architecture put in

433
00:28:57,640 –> 00:29:02,039
place by the Solution government led by Professor Chukuma Soludo.

434
00:29:02,759 –> 00:29:06,920
The Commissioner said security in Enambra has significantly improved since

435
00:29:06,960 –> 00:29:11,119
Soludo launched a new security architecture on February eighteenth, twenty

436
00:29:11,160 –> 00:29:15,079
twenty five. He noted that troubled areas are now receiving

437
00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:18,680
proper attention and that anyone causing unrest must now face

438
00:29:18,759 –> 00:29:24,759
the government’s security outfits, Hagenekembrand, Operation Ludo Garachi and whoever

439
00:29:24,880 –> 00:29:28,160
is constituting a security challenge in Anambra now knows that

440
00:29:28,200 –> 00:29:32,799
they have the government’s new security outfits hagenekembrand Operation Ludo

441
00:29:32,880 –> 00:29:37,200
Garachi to contend with the statement read Also on the

the victim’s Navy blue Toyota Corolla along Akulu Igarium Road

456
00:30:37,359 –> 00:30:40,039
by the joint security team comprising of a number of

457
00:30:40,119 –> 00:30:45,079
vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations revealed that the

458
00:30:45,079 –> 00:30:48,759
assailants had trailed the victim before launching the violent attack,

459
00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:51,400
during which the deceased was shot in the leg and

460
00:30:51,480 –> 00:30:56,359

463
00:31:04,319 –> 00:31:07,839
cowardly act will be brought to book. He further stated

464
00:31:07,880 –> 00:31:10,400
that the policeo is to the family, the people of

465
00:31:10,559 –> 00:31:13,119
Nambra and the memory of the deceased to ensure that

466
00:31:13,160 –> 00:31:16,799
those responsible face the full weight of the law. Further

467
00:31:16,880 –> 00:31:22,440
developments would be communicated accordingly. S p tochokuakenga police public

relations officer an Ambras State Police Command stated in a

469
00:31:26,000 –> 00:31:31,319
press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship candidate doctor George

470
00:31:31,319 –> 00:31:35,839
Mogloo said, my heart is heavy. I received with deep

471
00:31:35,920 –> 00:31:39,039
sorrow the devastating news of the brutal murder of mister

472
00:31:39,160 –> 00:31:42,880
Martin on Yea KC, the only son of missus esther

473
00:31:43,000 –> 00:31:45,960
On Yea k C, the enambrous state woman, leader of

474
00:31:45,960 –> 00:31:50,319
the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA. Martin was a promising

475
00:31:50,359 –> 00:31:54,359
young man, an industrious fish farmer in his twenties whose

476
00:31:54,400 –> 00:31:57,359
life was cut short in a most cruel and senseless manner,

477
00:31:58,000 –> 00:32:01,480
Abducted from his family home in Alleka, shot in the leg,

478
00:32:01,799 –> 00:32:05,319
and later found dead despite ransom being paid. This is

479
00:32:05,400 –> 00:32:09,640
not just a family’s tragedy. It is a painful reminder

480
00:32:09,680 –> 00:32:12,880
that our dear state is in crisis. My thoughts and

481
00:32:12,960 –> 00:32:16,079
prayers are with misses on ye Keesi and her entire

482
00:32:16,119 –> 00:32:20,000
family in this moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should

483
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:24,480
ever have to bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances.

484
00:32:25,279 –> 00:32:29,160
I must speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not

485
00:32:29,319 –> 00:32:32,640
even in the state capital. Our people are being slorted,

486
00:32:32,960 –> 00:32:36,279
kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the

487
00:32:36,319 –> 00:32:41,359
other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,

488
00:32:41,680 –> 00:32:44,319
we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at

489
00:32:44,400 –> 00:32:48,839
Amchi Noi South Local government area. Yet there was no statement,

490
00:32:49,119 –> 00:32:52,440
no condolence, not even a visit from the state government.

491
00:32:53,240 –> 00:32:57,920
Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where

492
00:32:58,000 –> 00:33:01,720
is our conscience. This is not a political party. This

493
00:33:01,880 –> 00:33:04,920
is about human life. This is about the safety of

494
00:33:04,960 –> 00:33:09,680
our people, our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a

495
00:33:09,720 –> 00:33:13,319
father and a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally.

496
00:33:14,039 –> 00:33:17,480
As a leader, I cannot keep quiet. We must return

497
00:33:17,519 –> 00:33:22,039
empathy to governance. We must put humanity before politics. The

498
00:33:22,200 –> 00:33:26,039
enumer of our dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence

499
00:33:26,240 –> 00:33:31,000
and indifference. It must be founded on compassion, courage and

500
00:33:31,039 –> 00:33:35,079
the result to act, especially when it matters most. May

501
00:33:35,119 –> 00:33:37,519
the soul of young Martin on ye k c find

502
00:33:37,599 –> 00:33:41,000
rest and may his death not be in vain. Doctor

503
00:33:41,079 –> 00:33:45,039
George Mogulu, Labour Party governorship candidate in a Nambra State,

504
00:33:45,119 –> 00:33:49,440
stated this on Friday August first, twenty twenty five. Former

505
00:33:49,519 –> 00:33:52,880
lawyer to Namdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous

506
00:33:52,920 –> 00:33:57,680
People of Biafra IPOB Barrister Afani G four, in a

507
00:33:57,720 –> 00:34:01,160
statement said the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of a

508
00:34:01,240 –> 00:34:05,880
Fessenachi on Yequlu, popularly known as fish Magnet in orca

509
00:34:06,279 –> 00:34:09,400
an Amber State is yet another chilling reminder that our

510
00:34:09,440 –> 00:34:12,199
homeland is bleeding and we are running out of time

511
00:34:12,280 –> 00:34:16,440
to act. Just last week, social medium was awash with

512
00:34:16,519 –> 00:34:19,719
heart wrenching reports of how this promising young man was

513
00:34:19,800 –> 00:34:23,639
kidnapped in his own home at zini Fite community, o Puno,

514
00:34:24,000 –> 00:34:28,239
Orcasouth local government area during a late night invasion by gunman.

515
00:34:29,000 –> 00:34:32,400
He was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an

516
00:34:32,480 –> 00:34:37,760
undisclosed ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi,

517
00:34:37,920 –> 00:34:41,000
was the only son of his family, one life brutally

518
00:34:41,039 –> 00:34:45,000
snuffed out, a family shattered beyond repair, and a community

519
00:34:45,039 –> 00:34:48,760
thrown into mourning. I condemn this dastardly act in the

520
00:34:48,800 –> 00:34:52,079
strongest possible terms. I call on the Governor of an

521
00:34:52,079 –> 00:34:57,119
Ambra State, security agencies and every community stakeholder to rise

522
00:34:57,159 –> 00:35:00,440
to the occasion, not merely to issue statements, but to

523
00:35:00,480 –> 00:35:04,400
act decisively, hunt down these murderers, bring them to justice,

524
00:35:04,679 –> 00:35:08,920
and urgently strengthen the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed.

525
00:35:09,559 –> 00:35:12,519
But let us not deceive ourselves. This is more than

526
00:35:12,559 –> 00:35:16,119
an isolated tragedy. It is a symptom of a larger,

527
00:35:16,480 –> 00:35:19,079
deadlier disease that is eating deep into the soul of

528
00:35:19,119 –> 00:35:24,119
aler Igbo. A disturbing trend where crime is romanticized killers

529
00:35:24,119 –> 00:35:28,360
are shielded and absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media

530
00:35:28,440 –> 00:35:34,400
to justify barbarity. Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly

531
00:35:34,440 –> 00:35:39,519
defend these murderers. Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable

532
00:35:39,559 –> 00:35:42,960
claim that the gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls

533
00:35:42,960 –> 00:35:47,639
in Arndi’s Rogua Fulani herdsman who master did Igbo language.

534
00:35:48,199 –> 00:35:51,320
What a tragic delusion. Must death knock at your door

535
00:35:51,360 –> 00:35:55,320
before you accept reality? And then there is the digital complicity,

536
00:35:55,679 –> 00:35:59,000
the growing chorus of voices on line excusing or minimizing

537
00:35:59,039 –> 00:36:01,880
the blood bath Rabite jing IMO’s state and other parts

538
00:36:01,880 –> 00:36:06,800
of the Southeast. Many victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear,

539
00:36:07,119 –> 00:36:11,519
while some communities, particularly in the Achigue axis, have literally

540
00:36:11,599 –> 00:36:14,559
been conquered by criminal gangs who now dictate life and

541
00:36:14,639 –> 00:36:19,079
death within the domains. The most frightening part the reckless

542
00:36:19,199 –> 00:36:23,280
energy our own people expend defending these killers. When you

543
00:36:23,320 –> 00:36:27,360
shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you embolden them.

544
00:36:27,679 –> 00:36:31,559
When you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride,

545
00:36:31,679 –> 00:36:34,199
you leave the gates wide open for the real external

546
00:36:34,199 –> 00:36:38,119
aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come when we

547
00:36:38,199 –> 00:36:41,880
are weakest and most divided. Let this be crystal clear.

548
00:36:42,360 –> 00:36:46,360
Crime is crime, no matter who commits it. A criminal

549
00:36:46,480 –> 00:36:49,840
is not a hero. Anyone involved in these heinous acts

550
00:36:49,920 –> 00:36:54,599
must be decisively dealt with, without ethnic excuses, without sympathy,

551
00:36:54,880 –> 00:36:59,239
and without protection under any guise. To my dismay, only

552
00:36:59,360 –> 00:37:03,239
yesterday I saw a report purportedly authored by alleged Umuaka

553
00:37:03,280 –> 00:37:07,239
community trying desperately to downplay the scale of kidnappings and

554
00:37:07,360 –> 00:37:11,119
killings in their area. I ask, what message are we

555
00:37:11,239 –> 00:37:14,000
sending to a people who now live under siege, a

556
00:37:14,039 –> 00:37:17,679
community where fear is the new normal. The hard truth

557
00:37:17,800 –> 00:37:21,840
is this security is not the responsibility of government alone.

558
00:37:22,440 –> 00:37:27,199
It is a collective duty. Sadly, the conventional security architecture

559
00:37:27,239 –> 00:37:30,639
appears to have abandoned halpless citizens of imst State to

560
00:37:30,679 –> 00:37:34,920
their fate, either by wilful act of dereliction of duty, compromise,

561
00:37:35,239 –> 00:37:39,559
or collusion. But we as a people cannot and must

562
00:37:39,559 –> 00:37:44,039
not abandon ourselves. This is a wake up call. If

563
00:37:44,079 –> 00:37:47,079
we do not unite against this evil now, it will

564
00:37:47,119 –> 00:37:50,719
consume us all to morrow. It could be your brother,

565
00:37:51,159 –> 00:37:55,039
your sister, your only son, the time to act is now.

566
00:37:55,360 –> 00:37:59,920
Sir A feannyegioport Esquires stated this on Saturday, August second,

567
00:38:00,039 –> 00:38:01,079
twenty twenty five.
