#Nigeria Police Force #Delta #Hundeyin #Lagos #Olumuyiwa #Police ©September 4th, 2025 ®September 4, 2025 7:19 pm
Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has officially announced the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin as the new Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, after him, the former Police Force Spokesperson was promoted, reassigned and redeployed to Delta State as the Deputy Commissioner of Police incharge of Operations, a sensitive position that has generated massive reactions from members of the public, especially those who widely believed that DCP Olumuyiwa used his office as Force spokesperson to suppress freedom of speech by arresting and detaining people on grounds of alleged cyber talking and violence instigation against the Nigeria Police Force, while, many accused him of abandoning the main security challenges affecting Nigeria, and created more time for himself to be reading through comment sections on social media to harass innocent young Nigerians over mere comments, and the new posting may offer DCP Olumuyiwa the opportunity to always lead a team of combat joint security Squads to battle fields where he may have direct contact with some of the deadly and well armed gunmen in the South-South and South-East geopolitical zones, like, he’s expected to lead offensive and defensive operations against militants and armed robbers who have killed several policemen, sometimes in mass numbers in recent years in the Oil rich Delta State where his new job function required him as the police field combat commander of the state to develop combat strategies to address cases of oil bunkering, kidnapping and more strategies to confront and push back Biafra secessionist armed groups widely believed have good positions and camps in Delta State. #OsazuwaAkonedo

Speaker 1: President Donald Trump of the United States US has announced
2
00:00:04,200 –> 00:00:06,679
plans to meet one on one with the President of
3
00:00:06,759 –> 00:00:11,400
China she Jimping at Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC meeting
4
00:00:11,439 –> 00:00:15,400
coming this November in South Korea, and according to President Trump,
5
00:00:15,640 –> 00:00:18,079
he had a phone call with President Sheet to also
6
00:00:18,239 –> 00:00:20,879
pay a state visit to China early next year to
7
00:00:20,920 –> 00:00:24,440
discuss and find the possible solution to end Russia Ukraine
8
00:00:24,519 –> 00:00:27,280
war and the U S issue with the Chinese owned
9
00:00:27,359 –> 00:00:31,280
social networking company TikTok that may face complete ban in
10
00:00:31,320 –> 00:00:35,240
the United States if agreement is not reached on December sixteen,
11
00:00:35,439 –> 00:00:39,520
twenty twenty five. That aside, the United States government is
12
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:43,600
currently being considered as a pseudo practitioner of free trade
13
00:00:43,640 –> 00:00:47,840
and free speech and freedom of association. Some observers accused
14
00:00:47,960 –> 00:00:51,399
U S government of monopoly in the technology industry that
15
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:55,119
it wants to remain superior in the social networking business. Hence,
16
00:00:55,159 –> 00:00:58,960
the U. S Government is demanding to own and controlled TikTok,
17
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:02,719
trying to use all manners of manipulative and deceptive ways
18
00:01:02,799 –> 00:01:05,640
to force by dance to sell TikTok to Oracle and
19
00:01:05,719 –> 00:01:09,719
silver Lake, among others. Because of China government alleged control
20
00:01:09,799 –> 00:01:13,439
of TikTok algorithm and also allegedly having access to the
21
00:01:13,519 –> 00:01:16,799
data of US uses, interesting as it may be in
22
00:01:16,879 –> 00:01:20,439
the aspect of trying to apparently abuse freedom of association.
23
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:25,000
United States government under President Donald Trump has revoked and
24
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:30,000
denied visa to Palestinian President Mamoodabs and eighty other Palestinian
25
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:32,879
authorities in ader for them probably not being able to
26
00:01:32,959 –> 00:01:36,640
attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting to speak out
27
00:01:36,680 –> 00:01:41,079
their minds against israel war in Gaza and other Palestinian territory,
28
00:01:41,359 –> 00:01:44,439
but other world leaders on Friday, in a vote of
29
00:01:44,519 –> 00:01:48,120
one hundred and forty five against five, permitted the Palestinian
30
00:01:48,159 –> 00:01:52,480
President Mamoudabbs to address the World Assembly via video call
31
00:01:52,599 –> 00:01:56,000
next week. China is one of the biggest economies in
32
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:59,120
the world. Has been on loggerhead with its major trade rival,
33
00:01:59,519 –> 00:02:03,000
the United States since twenty eighteen during the first tenure
34
00:02:03,040 –> 00:02:06,280
of President Donald Trump, and its loggerhead with US has
35
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:10,319
probably made China to maintain a strategic pro Russian position
36
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:14,439
on the war in Ukraine, publicly claiming neutrality while allegedly
37
00:02:14,479 –> 00:02:19,840
providing essential economic and diplomatic support to Moscow. Reports indicated
38
00:02:19,879 –> 00:02:23,280
that Chinese officials privately admit that a Russian defeat would
39
00:02:23,319 –> 00:02:27,639
not serve Beijing’s interests, which center on its geopolitical rivalry
40
00:02:27,680 –> 00:02:33,080
with the United States. Also China’s state controlled media Shinwan
41
00:02:33,199 –> 00:02:38,199
News Agency, People’s Daily, China Central Television, which include China
42
00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:43,759
Global Television, China National Radio CNR, and China Radio International CREE,
43
00:02:44,039 –> 00:02:47,479
some of them always using the prominent social networking platform
44
00:02:47,560 –> 00:02:51,360
in China, the Waibo social media, are frequently and apparently
45
00:02:51,439 –> 00:02:55,599
always amplifying Russian talking points such as blaming and accusing
46
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:59,639
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO of expanded may be
47
00:02:59,680 –> 00:03:02,360
true that there are certain things people do to others
48
00:03:02,759 –> 00:03:05,759
they may not take the same from anyone. This assertion
49
00:03:05,840 –> 00:03:08,879
appeared to have come into play in the current administration
50
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:12,759
of Nigeria President Bola Hmed Talubu, who in the era
51
00:03:12,879 –> 00:03:16,919
of President good Luck of Ballet Jonathan apparently used spin
52
00:03:17,159 –> 00:03:21,400
logic to always make false statements, incite the public against
53
00:03:21,479 –> 00:03:25,159
the government, destroy the reputation and personality of the then
54
00:03:25,280 –> 00:03:28,360
President good Luck of Belet Jonathan. As you may know,
55
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:33,159
spin logic in communication is a public relations campaign strategy
56
00:03:33,240 –> 00:03:37,400
that uses deliberate, biased, or misleading interpretations of events and
57
00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:41,280
information to influence public perception. In one of the viral
58
00:03:41,360 –> 00:03:44,680
videos between twenty twelve and twenty fourteen in the history
59
00:03:44,680 –> 00:03:48,919
of politics in Nigeria, President Bolahmed Talubu, who was then
60
00:03:48,960 –> 00:03:53,159
a chieftain of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria ACN
61
00:03:53,240 –> 00:03:57,879
and later All Progressives Congress APC, allegedly told a gathering
62
00:03:57,960 –> 00:04:00,599
of thousands of people that the then press President good
63
00:04:00,680 –> 00:04:05,120
Luck Abelet Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should face death or
64
00:04:05,199 –> 00:04:08,680
starve to death directly or indirectly, saying that the then
65
00:04:08,840 –> 00:04:12,000
President Jonathan did not care about the well being of
66
00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:15,800
his people. Till date, Tanubu has not shown any evidence
67
00:04:15,879 –> 00:04:18,680
to back up his claim that the people are hungry.
68
00:04:18,920 –> 00:04:22,720
President Jonathan said they should face death and in some occasions,
69
00:04:22,959 –> 00:04:26,720
Tanubu called on the police not to attack protesters. Specifically,
70
00:04:27,000 –> 00:04:30,959
on November twenty ninth, twenty thirteen, Tanubu tweeted by a
71
00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:35,160
tweeter now ex social media platform that police do not
72
00:04:35,199 –> 00:04:39,240
attack protesters. Your children are involved, your lives are involved,
73
00:04:39,519 –> 00:04:43,920
Your children’s future lie here, and urged millions of Nigerians
74
00:04:43,920 –> 00:04:47,399
to protest peacefully against the Jonathan led government. And in
75
00:04:47,480 –> 00:04:52,040
one of the protests Occupy Niger allegedly sponsored by Bola
76
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:55,759
Ahmed Tanubu. According to Reno Omakri, who was then a
77
00:04:55,879 –> 00:05:00,240
media spokesperson to Jonathan, the then President Jonathan’s photo was
78
00:05:00,279 –> 00:05:02,360
placed on a coffin as a dead man and the
79
00:05:02,399 –> 00:05:06,839
coffin was labeled IP meaning rest in Peace. Also in
80
00:05:06,879 –> 00:05:11,519
February twenty eleven, as reported by Nigeria Media, Tanubu described
81
00:05:11,519 –> 00:05:15,439
the then President good Luck Jonathan as a drunkard sinking fisherman,
82
00:05:15,879 –> 00:05:18,720
a word that appears to falsely describe the then President
83
00:05:18,839 –> 00:05:21,759
Jonathan as a man that always take too much of
84
00:05:21,800 –> 00:05:25,040
alcohol to the extent of losing control of his behavior,
85
00:05:25,360 –> 00:05:28,560
but under the same Tanubu who is now the President
86
00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:33,120
of Nigeria. The State Security Service SSS, also known as
87
00:05:33,160 –> 00:05:36,639
the Department of State Service DSS has filed a court
88
00:05:36,720 –> 00:05:40,800
case against Facebook and ex social media companies over a
89
00:05:40,879 –> 00:05:45,240
post published separately on August twenty fifth and twenty six,
90
00:05:45,399 –> 00:05:49,360
twenty twenty five by a well known human rights activist
91
00:05:49,360 –> 00:05:53,480
and anti government critic, Omiele Saware and his online media
92
00:05:53,879 –> 00:05:57,879
Salar Airporters, and in the five count charges, the DSSQ
93
00:05:58,120 –> 00:06:01,079
has people of Nepal in South as country took to
94
00:06:01,120 –> 00:06:04,120
the streets in an unprecedented manner to protest an end
95
00:06:04,160 –> 00:06:07,040
to corruption and bad leadership in the country. During the
96
00:06:07,079 –> 00:06:10,079
week after a short lived ban on social media by
97
00:06:10,079 –> 00:06:14,399
the Nepalese government, Nigeria’s secret police, known as Department of
98
00:06:14,480 –> 00:06:19,199
State Security Services DSS, appeared to have doubled efforts, apparently
99
00:06:19,279 –> 00:06:23,399
to avert the unpleasant Nepal situation in the West Africa country,
100
00:06:23,759 –> 00:06:27,800
a situation where some politicians in the South Asia country
101
00:06:27,879 –> 00:06:31,920
tasted the bitter side of their citizens like never before. This,
102
00:06:32,519 –> 00:06:34,560
the DSS has appeared to be on the neck of
103
00:06:34,600 –> 00:06:37,959
ex social media management to ensure the deletion of a
104
00:06:38,079 –> 00:06:41,920
post tweeted by the founder of Sahara Reporters news media
105
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:45,759
and a well known anti government critic, Armiele Saware, that
106
00:06:45,839 –> 00:06:50,519
allegedly described the Nigeria President Bola Armed Tanubu as a criminal.
107
00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:53,720
Her statements Aware made in reaction to the words of
108
00:06:53,800 –> 00:06:58,360
President Bola Armed Tanubu over corruption in Nigeria while the
109
00:06:58,399 –> 00:07:02,000
president was on official visit in Brazil. The DSS said
110
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:05,639
Saware mis represented the President’s statement and as such, the
111
00:07:05,680 –> 00:07:08,800
supporters of the president are not happy over it. Hence,
112
00:07:09,120 –> 00:07:13,439
the Security Service demanded a retracted publication from Omilee saware,
113
00:07:13,879 –> 00:07:17,759
but in a swift reaction, Omiele declined and accused the
114
00:07:17,800 –> 00:07:21,720
DSS of always acting illegally. In a letter written during
115
00:07:21,759 –> 00:07:24,160
the week and address to the Director General of the
116
00:07:24,199 –> 00:07:29,040
Department of State Services, Omiyelee said, I acknowledge receipt of
117
00:07:29,040 –> 00:07:32,160
your letter which you stealthily dumped with a security guard
118
00:07:32,199 –> 00:07:35,199
at the office of my attorneys in Abuja. Addressed to
119
00:07:35,240 –> 00:07:39,160
Abu Bakha Marshal, I find your horrendous attempt at holding
120
00:07:39,199 –> 00:07:42,519
an unwarranted brief for the President not only insidious, but
121
00:07:42,560 –> 00:07:48,199
fundamentally defective, flawed in principle and absolutely unlawful. The State
122
00:07:48,279 –> 00:07:52,439
Security Service was not created as a security institution. The
123
00:07:52,639 –> 00:07:57,160
SSS now self styled as the DSS, began as the
124
00:07:57,199 –> 00:08:02,120
e Department Special Branch, an office established in nineteen forty
125
00:08:02,160 –> 00:08:04,839
eight and initially located in the office of the Inspector
126
00:08:04,920 –> 00:08:09,040
General of Police. It was later renamed the National Security
127
00:08:09,120 –> 00:08:14,199
Organization NSO, but on June fifth, nineteen eighty six, the
128
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:18,560
Federal Military government issued Decree number nineteen dissolving the NSO
129
00:08:18,639 –> 00:08:23,240
and unbundling it into three entities, the SSS for domestic intelligence,
130
00:08:23,519 –> 00:08:27,680
the NIA for external intelligence and counterintelligence, and the DEER
131
00:08:27,720 –> 00:08:32,240
for military related intelligence. While the NEAR and DIA largely
132
00:08:32,360 –> 00:08:36,440
kept faith with their mandates, the SSS under successive Director
133
00:08:36,559 –> 00:08:41,879
generals has consistently acted bullishly, illegally and unlawfully, serving as
134
00:08:41,879 –> 00:08:45,039
a ready tool of oppression for dictatorial regimes spent on
135
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:49,799
breaking rules and repressing the rights of the Nigerian people. Thus,
136
00:08:50,080 –> 00:08:52,639
it is no surprise that you have once again resumed
137
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:58,240
repressive hostility against me in nineteen ninety three. Deputy Commissioner
138
00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:02,759
of Police DCPO Alumi Wea Adejobi has officially announced the
139
00:09:02,799 –> 00:09:07,440

and redeployed to Delta State as the Deputy Commissioner of
143
00:09:18,960 –> 00:09:22,440
Police in charge of Operations, a sensitive position that has
144
00:09:22,559 –> 00:09:26,519
generated massive reactions from members of the public, especially those
145
00:09:26,559 –> 00:09:30,320
who widely believed the DCP Olumi Wea used his officer’s
146
00:09:30,360 –> 00:09:34,320
force spokesperson to suppress freedom of speech by arresting and
147
00:09:34,399 –> 00:09:38,440
detaining people on grounds of alleged cyber talking and violence
148
00:09:38,519 –> 00:09:43,240
instigation against the Nigeria Police Force, while many accused him
149
00:09:43,279 –> 00:09:48,000
of abandoning the main security challenges affecting Nigeria and created
150
00:09:48,039 –> 00:09:51,279
more time for himself to be reading through comments sections
151
00:09:51,360 –> 00:09:55,360
on social media to harass innocent young Nigerians over mere
152
00:09:55,480 –> 00:09:59,440
comments and the new posting may offer. DCP Olumi were

and armed robbers who have killed several policemen, sometimes in
159
00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:25,840
mass numbers in recent years in the oil ridge Delta State,
160
00:10:25,919 –> 00:10:29,000
where his new job function required him as the police
161
00:10:29,039 –> 00:10:32,919
Field Combat Commander of the state to develop combat strategies
162
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:36,960
to address cases of oil bunkering, kidnapping, and more strategies
163
00:10:36,960 –> 00:10:41,279
to confront and pushback Biafra secessionist armed groups widely believed
164
00:10:41,360 –> 00:10:45,000

224

00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:55,039
the same Enugu inward bound lane rammed into the tricycle.
227
00:14:55,279 –> 00:14:59,320
Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tenubu has said that the West
228
00:14:59,360 –> 00:15:02,679
Africa CO has no fear over whatever the President of
229
00:15:02,720 –> 00:15:06,960
the United States, Donald Trump is doing, although the Nigeria
230
00:15:07,039 –> 00:15:10,559
President did not give details what the US president is
231
00:15:10,639 –> 00:15:14,279
doing that the nation has no fear of. But President
232
00:15:14,320 –> 00:15:17,399
Toanubu at a meeting with political leaders at the State
233
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:20,879
House in Abuja on Tuesday, said that the country has
234
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:24,480
met its revenue target for twenty twenty five from non
235
00:15:24,559 –> 00:15:28,919
oil revenue sources, saying if Nigeria as at August has
236
00:15:28,960 –> 00:15:33,000
already met revenue target from non oil products, the country
237
00:15:33,039 –> 00:15:35,720
has no fear of whatever the President of the United
238
00:15:35,759 –> 00:15:39,639
States US is doing, adding that the economy of the
239
00:15:39,679 –> 00:15:44,039
country is now stabilized, saying the nira currency is now
240
00:15:44,080 –> 00:15:47,360
performing well in the foreign exchange market, with a claim
241
00:15:47,399 –> 00:15:50,159
he met dollar at exchange rate at one thousand, nine
242
00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:53,879
hundred nairas per one dollar on May twenty ninth, twenty
243
00:15:54,000 –> 00:15:56,639
twenty three, when he took over as the president of
244
00:15:56,679 –> 00:15:59,960
the West Africa country, praising himself that he has work
245
00:16:00,000 –> 00:16:03,399
worked hard to reduce the foreign exchange rate from one thousand,
246
00:16:03,559 –> 00:16:07,080
nine hundred nyras to one thousand, four hundred and fifty
247
00:16:07,159 –> 00:16:10,360
nyers per one dollar, a claim we fact checked to
248
00:16:10,399 –> 00:16:14,120
be very incorrect. We observed the President Boler Tanubu on
249
00:16:14,200 –> 00:16:18,039
May twenty ninth, twenty twenty three, met foreign exchange rate
250
00:16:18,080 –> 00:16:21,279
at four hundred and sixty one nyras per one dollar.
251
00:16:21,519 –> 00:16:25,159
On the day of his inauguration, President Boler armed Tanubu
252
00:16:25,279 –> 00:16:29,200
issued a policy statement directing the Central Bank of Nigeria
253
00:16:29,279 –> 00:16:32,919
to ensure a unified exchange rate, a policy statement that
254
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:35,799
made the exchange rate to increase from four hundred and
255
00:16:35,879 –> 00:16:39,159
sixty one nyras to eight hundred and fifty three nyras
256
00:16:39,159 –> 00:16:41,799
per one dollar at the end of twenty twenty three.
257
00:16:42,320 –> 00:16:46,399
After the President boler Armed Tanubu officially pegged and increased
258
00:16:46,440 –> 00:16:49,960
the foreign exchange rate from four hundred and sixty one
259
00:16:50,080 –> 00:16:53,360
nyras to seven hundred and fifty nyrs per one dollar
260
00:16:53,519 –> 00:16:56,799
in his twenty twenty four budget, which made cost of
261
00:16:56,879 –> 00:16:59,799
food stuffs and other costs of living in the country
262
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:03,639
increase more than two hundred per cent, and while presenting
263
00:17:03,679 –> 00:17:07,920
the twenty twenty five budget, President boler Armed Tanubu peg
264
00:17:08,039 –> 00:17:11,359
and increased the foreign exchange rate from seven hundred and
265
00:17:11,480 –> 00:17:15,400
fifty nyras to one thousand, five hundred nyras per one dollar.
266
00:17:15,839 –> 00:17:19,039
This policy action of the president has since made cost
267
00:17:19,119 –> 00:17:23,079
of foodstuffs and other basic necessities in Nigeria to increase
268
00:17:23,119 –> 00:17:27,279
outrageously more than seven hundred percent with no reduction till date.
269
00:17:27,880 –> 00:17:30,559
Like a sachet water that used to be sold for
270
00:17:30,640 –> 00:17:34,160
five nyras is now sold between twenty nyras to fifteen
271
00:17:34,240 –> 00:17:38,559
nyras in some locations in Nigeria. Details of some of
272
00:17:38,640 –> 00:17:43,720
President Bola Armed Tanubu statements as presented by the presidential spokesperson,
273
00:17:44,119 –> 00:17:49,119

274
00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,160
said on Tuesday in Abuja that the revenue target for
275
00:17:52,240 –> 00:17:55,680
twenty twenty five was achieved in well known human rights
276
00:17:55,720 –> 00:18:00,480
activist and a humanitarian, Martin’s Vincent dotze Ka. Very Darkman
277
00:18:00,640 –> 00:18:04,279
has apparently threatened the media, especially those he referred to
278
00:18:04,319 –> 00:18:07,440
as bloggers, not to use his video contents on their
279
00:18:07,480 –> 00:18:10,200
page and if they do, he would report the video
280
00:18:10,319 –> 00:18:15,000
to the management of social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook,
281
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:19,000
TikTok among other online platforms the video or videos were
282
00:18:19,000 –> 00:18:22,279
published and ensured the video or videos are broad down
283
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,480
or removed. He stated this on Tuesday noon in a
284
00:18:25,599 –> 00:18:29,440
nine minutes video wherein he accused the media, especially those
285
00:18:29,480 –> 00:18:32,240
he referred to as bloggers, of not joining hands with
286
00:18:32,319 –> 00:18:35,400
him and others to launch massive campaign and awareness when
287
00:18:35,480 –> 00:18:38,359
Ruth Ottibor was alive, the sister of the Big Brother
288
00:18:38,519 –> 00:18:43,119
Nigeria season seven winner i Juma Ottibor aka Feena, who
289
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:46,759
allegedly needed more attention and care from Dangotte Group of
290
00:18:46,839 –> 00:18:51,000
company owned by africa richest man Aliko Dangotte whose track
291

00:18:54,799 –> 00:18:58,640
Ottibor rounded off her examinations as a final year student
293
00:18:58,759 –> 00:19:03,680
of Federal Polytechnic Inauchi, but according to Baridukman, soon after
294
00:19:03,680 –> 00:19:06,680
the death of the accident victim was announced on Sunday,
295
00:19:07,039 –> 00:19:12,160
bloggers started publishing the news stories massively continuing. Veridartmun accused
296
00:19:12,160 –> 00:19:15,680
Fena of being a greedy person, saying Fina wrote a
297
00:19:15,720 –> 00:19:19,279
demand list of one billion naira to Dangotte even when
298
00:19:19,359 –> 00:19:22,599
she has not visited her sister in the hospital to
299
00:19:22,680 –> 00:19:26,000
know the true picture of her condition. In a swift reaction,
300
00:19:26,400 –> 00:19:29,640
a well known sex educator who uses raw words to
301
00:19:29,720 –> 00:19:34,720
pass across her teachings, iziegbeog Bede aka Ekia Queen, condemned
302
00:19:34,759 –> 00:19:37,720
the act of Veridartmun, saying it was the alleged greed
303
00:19:37,759 –> 00:19:41,720
of Fena that killed her sister, with Echiaqueen accusing Veridokmun
304
00:19:41,759 –> 00:19:44,200
of being a liar who is trying to cause more
305
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:47,039
pains to the bereaved Fena, even when he knows her
306
00:19:47,079 –> 00:19:51,359
sister just died less than forty eight hours ago. Earlier
307
00:19:51,400 –> 00:19:55,480
before today, when the accident victim, Ruth Ottobor was still alive,
308
00:19:55,880 –> 00:19:59,799
Veri Darkmann published a video narrating how Fena allegedly betrayed
309
00:19:59,839 –> 00:20:03,440
him when Dangotte group invited her for possible settlement after
310
00:20:03,519 –> 00:20:06,640
Veridartmann and many others in the society took to their
311
00:20:06,640 –> 00:20:10,359
social media page to campaign and protest over the Dangotte
312
00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:14,119
truck accident, reportedly leading to immediate amputation of the two
313
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:19,680
legs of the female victim, Ruthottobre. Veridartmund said when Fina
314
00:20:19,720 –> 00:20:23,160
got the attention of Dangotte Group, Fina sent a message
315
00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:25,839
to him that the Dangotte group requested that they don’t
316
00:20:25,920 –> 00:20:31,000
want him Veridartman in the discussion, an action Veridartman considered
317
00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:33,160
to be that Fina was the one that betrayed him,
318
00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:36,640
apparently because of money. It is yet to be ascertained
319
00:20:36,640 –> 00:20:40,319
if truly the Dangotte group rejected Veridartmann in the discussion,
320
00:20:40,720 –> 00:20:43,759
but if the claim is confirmed to be true, we
321
00:20:43,839 –> 00:20:47,559
believe the Dangotte group may have rejected Veridartman because verd
322
00:20:47,640 –> 00:20:51,839
Artmann apparently insulted the person and the personality of Aliko Dangotte,
323
00:20:52,200 –> 00:20:55,640
the founder of the Solomon Ehgia tour Arras may be
324
00:20:55,720 –> 00:20:58,920
the true definition of the popula saying that police is
325
00:20:59,000 –> 00:21:01,359
your friend if if only you are a good character
326
00:21:01,440 –> 00:21:06,160
police officer. The former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Ehga tour.
327
00:21:06,359 –> 00:21:10,480
Arassy apparently validated the aforesaid statement to be true when
328
00:21:10,599 –> 00:21:14,480
his death was announced on Sunday, August thirty first, twenty
329
00:21:14,559 –> 00:21:18,680
twenty five. The death sparked uncommon good words of condolences
330
00:21:18,720 –> 00:21:23,480
from many Nigerians. Unlike before, millions of Nigerians make negative
331
00:21:23,559 –> 00:21:27,079
comments against dead top government officials, but in the case
332
00:21:27,119 –> 00:21:30,920
of Arasy, millions of Nigerians took to their social media
333
00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:34,440
pages and comments sections to say good things about the
334
00:21:34,480 –> 00:21:39,000
IGP that police the Nigeria States between April twenty fifteen
335
00:21:39,119 –> 00:21:43,519
and June twenty sixteen. Even human rights activists that always
336
00:21:43,640 –> 00:21:47,640
talk negative about the Nigeria Police Force like Barrister Adi
337
00:21:47,720 –> 00:21:51,079
andju Deji was among the earliest mourners on Sunday to
338
00:21:51,119 –> 00:21:53,799
be at the residence of the late IGP to pay
339
00:21:53,839 –> 00:21:57,480
a condolence visit with a tribute saying, may the soul
340
00:21:57,559 –> 00:22:01,680
of former IGP Solomon Arassy rest in peace. In my
341
00:22:01,799 –> 00:22:04,839
about twenty years of knowing him, he helped us get
342
00:22:04,880 –> 00:22:08,160
freedom for many student union leaders and comrades who were
343
00:22:08,200 –> 00:22:12,920
unlawfully detained as IGP, and after his retirement, we remained
344
00:22:12,920 –> 00:22:16,319
close and continued to seek his help whenever citizens’ rights
345
00:22:16,359 –> 00:22:20,000
were abused. We also observed that many serving and retired
346
00:22:20,039 –> 00:22:24,880
police officers like DCP Aluminiwa Adejobi had took to their
347
00:22:24,920 –> 00:22:28,519
personal social media accounts to tell the world how good
348
00:22:28,599 –> 00:22:32,880
Solomon Ago tour Rasay was during and after service. This
349
00:22:33,359 –> 00:22:37,200
a Nigerian citizen by name a Luasian Odetaio took to
350
00:22:37,240 –> 00:22:41,599
the Nigeria Police Force Facebook comments section and said, hope
351
00:22:41,640 –> 00:22:45,960
the current IGP and all other ai gps and digps
352
00:22:46,039 –> 00:22:50,000
and all Nigeria Police Force offices are online and reading comments.
353
00:22:50,480 –> 00:22:53,200
Hopefully we would get something like this to be written
354
00:22:53,240 –> 00:22:57,759
for them too when their own time comes. President Bola Tanubu,
355
00:22:57,839 –> 00:23:02,160
in a statement signed by the Presidentials spokesperson bo On Anuga,

Chairman of the Police Service Commission, brought lasting changes to
362
00:23:28,720 –> 00:23:32,720
the force. The President acknowledges the dedication of the former
363
00:23:32,799 –> 00:23:37,160
IGP to enhancing security in the country through initiatives such
364
00:23:37,200 –> 00:23:41,039
as the Intelligence Response Team, the Complaint Response Unit and
365
00:23:41,160 –> 00:23:46,440
safer highway patrols. Reflecting on arasace laudible service to the country,
366
00:23:46,759 –> 00:23:51,200
President Tanubu remarks Arras served the police force meritoriously from
367
00:23:51,279 –> 00:23:54,759
nineteen eighty one. Management of Dangotte Group says they are
368
00:23:54,759 –> 00:23:57,640
saddened over the death of Ruth Ottibor, the sister of

Big Brother Niger season seven winner e Gulmanottobo a Ka Feena,
370
00:24:02,440 –> 00:24:06,319
saying they had concluded all arrangements and made all necessary
371
00:24:06,359 –> 00:24:09,960
efforts to fly the accident victim abroad for the continuation
372
00:24:10,119 –> 00:24:13,240
of her medical treatment, but the company was waiting for
373
00:24:13,319 –> 00:24:17,160
her doctors to certify her fit for air travel. The company,
374
00:24:17,160 –> 00:24:20,559
owned by a Leco Dangotte, the Africa richest man according
375
00:24:20,599 –> 00:24:23,799
to Forbes, made the statement in a press release issued
376
00:24:23,880 –> 00:24:26,880

Auchi community earlier this month. Passed on exactly six thirty
382
00:24:46,759 –> 00:24:51,119
hours on Sunday. According to Dangotte Group, we are deeply
383
00:24:51,160 –> 00:24:54,279
saddened by the passing of Ruth Ottobor, who was injured
384
00:24:54,279 –> 00:24:57,319
in the recent road incident involving one of our trucks

Arrangements had been made for her to be flown to
391
00:25:21,119 –> 00:25:26,599
India for advanced treatment, pending medical clearance from her doctors. Sadly,
392
00:25:27,000 –> 00:25:30,119
despite these efforts and Ruth’s brave fight to live, we
393
00:25:30,240 –> 00:25:36,039

moments of tragedy. May God grant her mercy and eternal rest.

this thirty one day of August twenty twenty five at

00:26:18,680 –> 00:26:22,839
about six thirty hours. The family is presently grieving and

00:26:22,880 –> 00:26:25,680
will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn
407
00:26:25,720 –> 00:26:29,720

409
00:26:33,960 –> 00:26:38,039
a tragic accident on August thirteenth, twenty twenty five, near

the accident occurred barely six days after Ruth celebrated of
413
00:26:48,839 –> 00:26:51,839
her becoming a graduate from Auchi Polytechnic. Men of the
414
00:26:51,920 –> 00:26:54,960
