00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Youths in Borno State under the umbrella body of Borno

2
00:00:03,279 –> 00:00:07,160
South Youth Alliance BOSSIA, has insisted that the Federal Government

3
00:00:07,200 –> 00:00:10,919
of Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu,

4
00:00:11,039 –> 00:00:13,720
did nothing to secure the release of the four hundred

5
00:00:13,720 –> 00:00:17,519
and sixteen women and children held hostage by Boko Haram

6
00:00:17,640 –> 00:00:20,399
terrorists for more than ninety days they were taken into

7
00:00:20,399 –> 00:00:24,199
the bush since March twenty twenty six. Also, the youth

8
00:00:24,239 –> 00:00:27,640
group dismissed and rejected the report of the Nigerian Army

9
00:00:27,719 –> 00:00:31,600
who had alleged that its men rescued three hundred sixty

10
00:00:31,679 –> 00:00:35,399
out of the four hundred and sixteen people held hostage

11
00:00:35,520 –> 00:00:39,799
through intelligent driven efforts, saying they have an audio record

12
00:00:39,880 –> 00:00:43,320
of the conversation they had with the Boko Haram terrorists

13
00:00:43,359 –> 00:00:47,200
on Friday, June fifth, twenty twenty six, before the Boko

14
00:00:47,320 –> 00:00:51,600
Haram terrorists decided to release the captives willingly adding if

15
00:00:51,640 –> 00:00:54,920
they paid ransom, they should come out and tell Nigerians

16
00:00:54,960 –> 00:00:57,799
which we had the full details if ransom’s was paid

17
00:00:57,920 –> 00:01:01,799
or not. As Senator Ali and Duma automatically started thanking

18
00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:06,079
President Bola Ahmed Tenubu, is there something Nigerians need to

19
00:01:06,159 –> 00:01:08,560
know that is hidden. It may be recalled that we

20
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:12,200
have reported that barely a day after President Donald Trump

21
00:01:12,239 –> 00:01:15,680
of the United States of America, the USA announced the

22
00:01:15,760 –> 00:01:19,359
killing of Abu Ballal Almnuki, the second in command of

23
00:01:19,359 –> 00:01:22,560
the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. ISIS in a

24
00:01:22,640 –> 00:01:26,760
joint operation with Nigeria soldiers. In Borno State, a new

25
00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:30,159
video of the abducted four hundred and sixteen women and

26
00:01:30,239 –> 00:01:34,239
children in boco Harum captivity has been released, in addition

27
00:01:34,400 –> 00:01:37,719
to a gory video earlier released by the terrorists wherein

28
00:01:37,760 –> 00:01:41,519
they beheaded almost six men who the insurgents said tried

29
00:01:41,599 –> 00:01:44,640
to escape among the kidnapped victims. This had led to

30
00:01:44,680 –> 00:01:49,359
public outcry and demonstrations, but according to Punch newspaper, protests

31
00:01:49,359 –> 00:01:52,400
are reportedly denied the rights to protest in Maida Guri,

32
00:01:52,719 –> 00:01:57,280
the Borno State capital, saying the army reportedly deployed tanks

33
00:01:57,280 –> 00:02:00,719
and heavily armed personnel to filling Polo, the venue of

34
00:02:00,760 –> 00:02:05,359
the recent planned protest, forcing the demonstrators to withdraw. Quoting

35
00:02:05,400 –> 00:02:10,280
Somla Kaigama, leader of the protesters, has said the atmosphere

36
00:02:10,280 –> 00:02:14,360
created by the military deployment made it impossible for citizens

37
00:02:14,439 –> 00:02:18,120
to continue with the demonstration that the development is deeply

38
00:02:18,159 –> 00:02:22,240
disturbing in a constitutional democracy. It may also be recalled

39
00:02:22,240 –> 00:02:25,400
that we had reported that President Bolah Ahmed t Enubu

40
00:02:25,439 –> 00:02:28,879
of Nigeria may have kept mute since more than forty

41
00:02:28,919 –> 00:02:32,159
eight hours a faction of the Boco Harum terrorists showed

42
00:02:32,199 –> 00:02:35,879
off four hundred and sixteen people, mostly women and children,

43
00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:39,199
kidnapped and held hostage. When the members of the Jumatu

44
00:02:39,280 –> 00:02:44,120
Ali’s Sonah Lidawiti Walji hard Jazz launched a large scale

45
00:02:44,199 –> 00:02:47,719
combat actions between fourth to the sixth of March twenty

46
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:51,280
twenty six against the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria,

47
00:02:51,680 –> 00:02:55,800
a f N overran the Africa Country military base of Engosh,

48
00:02:56,240 –> 00:03:00,360
killing several soldiers, a figure the Nigeria authority dispute to

49
00:03:00,360 –> 00:03:04,360
be fourteen after several reports indicated that more than forty

50
00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:07,639
soldiers were killed during the attack, in addition to more

51
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:12,319
than one hundred civilians, including Chief Imman of Ingosh alongside

52
00:03:12,360 –> 00:03:16,639
the community elders killed during the coordinated attacks that lasted

53
00:03:16,759 –> 00:03:20,599
days of Ingosh community in Bosa Local Government area of

54
00:03:20,639 –> 00:03:24,719
Borno State. This During the attacks, numbers of people were

55
00:03:24,759 –> 00:03:29,319
also taken hostage by the insurgents, with speculations indicating that

56
00:03:29,360 –> 00:03:32,479
the hostages are apparently being held at the rugged terrain

57
00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:36,000
of the Mandara Mountains, which sit wide across the Nigeria

58
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:39,159
border with Cameroon. In the released video, one of the

59
00:03:39,199 –> 00:03:42,879
spokespersons of the Boko Haram group said they decided to

60
00:03:42,919 –> 00:03:45,719
release a proof of life video of the four hundred

61
00:03:45,759 –> 00:03:49,360
and sixteen women and children in their captivity following the

62
00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:52,319
demands made across to them by the Borno South Juds

63
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:55,879
Alliance Bossier and according to the statement issued by the

64
00:03:55,919 –> 00:03:59,560
BOSSIA when they made the video public on Friday, April tenth,

65
00:03:59,639 –> 00:04:03,360
twenty twenty six, the youth’s group called on federal government

66
00:04:03,439 –> 00:04:06,759
and governments at all level to ensure the hostages are released,

67
00:04:07,599 –> 00:04:11,439
saying specifically that we have witnessed cases in states such

68
00:04:11,439 –> 00:04:17,240
as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kevware abducted victims regained freedom

69
00:04:17,360 –> 00:04:21,600
following interventions by individuals such as Shaikh Armed Gumi. We

70
00:04:21,680 –> 00:04:25,199
therefore expect equal urgency and commitment in addressing the plight

71
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:28,720
of the Engosh victims. No region or group of citizens

72
00:04:28,759 –> 00:04:32,639
should be treated with less priority Nigerian Army. In a

73
00:04:32,680 –> 00:04:36,240
press release issued and made available on Saturday by Lieutenant

74
00:04:36,279 –> 00:04:40,759
Colonel Haruna Sani, the acting Media Information Officer of Northeast

75
00:04:40,839 –> 00:04:44,959
Operation hadden Kai Joint Task Force, said and in quotes

76
00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:48,800
that in one of the most significant hostage rescue operations

77
00:04:48,839 –> 00:04:53,160
conducted in the Northeast theatre in recent times, troops of

78
00:04:53,199 –> 00:04:58,160
the Joint Task Force Northeast Operation hadden Kai o PHK,

79
00:04:58,519 –> 00:05:02,759
comprising special forces and troops of Sector one, have successfully

80
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:07,160
rescued three hundred sixty abductees from a heavily fortified Jamatu

81
00:05:07,279 –> 00:05:11,360
Ali’s sonah Lidawity Walgi hard jazz enclaved deep within the

82
00:05:11,399 –> 00:05:16,319
Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State. The operation, which

83
00:05:16,439 –> 00:05:20,759
was the culmination of weeks of painstaking intelligence preparation, covered

84
00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:25,680
reconnaissance and operational planning, resulted in the safe recovery of men,

85
00:05:26,079 –> 00:05:29,399
women and children who had been held in captivity under

86
00:05:29,480 –> 00:05:34,199
harsh conditions after being abducted from several communities, particularly within

87
00:05:34,279 –> 00:05:39,639
the Engosh axis. The successful rescue underscores the growing operational reach,

88
00:05:40,040 –> 00:05:45,360
intelligence dominance, and tactical superiority of OPHK in denying terrorists

89
00:05:45,399 –> 00:05:49,439
freedom of action. And protecting vulnerable populations across the theatre.

90
00:05:50,079 –> 00:05:53,519
The operation was initiated following the receipt of credible and

91
00:05:53,560 –> 00:05:58,279
corroborated intelligence from multiple sources indicating the precise location of

92
00:05:58,360 –> 00:06:01,920
the hostages and the existence of an elaborate insurgent support

93
00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:07,959
network sustaining the enclave. OPHK intelligence elements subsequently launched an

94
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:13,000
extensive target development process involving the integration of human intelligence,

95
00:06:13,319 –> 00:06:19,600
human signals intelligence SIGANT and persistent intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance

96
00:06:19,720 –> 00:06:24,639
ISR operations conducted through unmanned aerial systems and long range

97
00:06:24,680 –> 00:06:31,000
reconnaissance patrols. Through sustained intelligence collection and analysis, commanders developed

98
00:06:31,040 –> 00:06:36,560
a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, insurgent disposition, defensive arrangements,

99
00:06:36,839 –> 00:06:41,560
movement patterns, and the condition of the abductees. This intelligence

100
00:06:41,639 –> 00:06:45,360
driven approach enabled the force to accurately map the objective area,

101
00:06:45,920 –> 00:06:50,839
identify vulnerabilities within the terrorist network, and significantly reduce risks

102
00:06:50,879 –> 00:06:54,879
to the hostages during the rescue mission. A decisive breakthrough

103
00:06:54,959 –> 00:06:58,560
was achieved through the successful penetration of the terrorist network

104
00:06:58,639 –> 00:07:03,079
by carefully cultivated intelligence assets operating under the supervision of

105
00:07:03,199 –> 00:07:09,160
OPHK Military Intelligence personnel. These assets provided timely and actionable

106
00:07:09,199 –> 00:07:13,759
intelligence regarding the exact locations of the abductees, the disposition

107
00:07:13,800 –> 00:07:20,560
of insurgent commanders, internal security measures, and planned relocation routes. Simultaneously.

108
00:07:21,040 –> 00:07:26,560
Carefully coordinated information and psychological operations created uncertainty and mistrust

109
00:07:26,639 –> 00:07:30,959
within the insurgent ranks, degrading their cohesion and disrupting command

110
00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:36,680
and control arrangements. The resulting intelligence advantage provided OPHK with

111
00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:41,319
unprecedented situational awareness and enabled commanders to shape the operational

112
00:07:41,439 –> 00:07:45,720
environment well before the commencement of the assault phase. Acting

113
00:07:45,759 –> 00:07:50,639
on confirmed intelligence, OPHK Special forces and troops of Sector

114
00:07:50,680 –> 00:07:55,199
one launched meticulously co ordinated multi axis operation designed to

115
00:07:55,279 –> 00:07:59,639
isolate the objective area, dominate key terrain, and prevent insurgent

116
00:07:59,639 –> 00:08:04,639
reinf enforcement or withdrawal. Supported by real time ISR feeds.

117
00:08:04,920 –> 00:08:09,680
ASSAW forces infiltrated the objective area under the cover of darkness,

118
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:14,480
while blocking forces established positions along likely escape routes. The

119
00:08:14,519 –> 00:08:19,360
operation achieved complete tactical surprise, overwhelming the terrorists before an

120
00:08:19,439 –> 00:08:24,079
organized response could be mounted. Faced with the speed, precision,

121
00:08:24,319 –> 00:08:28,720
and overwhelming combat power of the advancing troops, several insurgents

122
00:08:28,759 –> 00:08:32,759
abandoned their positions and fled into surrounding mountainous terrain, while

123
00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:38,000
others surrendered. The hostages were swiftly secured, medically screened, and

124
00:08:38,080 –> 00:08:43,039
evacuated from the objective area. Regrettively, two infants succumbed to

125
00:08:43,080 –> 00:08:46,919
exhaust occasion by the extremely challenging mountainous terrain and the

126
00:08:46,960 –> 00:08:52,240
hardships endured during the prolonged captivity. The remaining rescued abductees

127
00:08:52,279 –> 00:08:56,120
were successfully evacuated to safe locations for medical care and

128
00:08:56,240 –> 00:09:01,000
humanitarian support, marking a major operational success and a significant

129
00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:04,960
setback for the terrorist group. The Military High Command has

130
00:09:04,960 –> 00:09:09,840
commended the courage, professionalism, and exceptional discipline displayed by all

131
00:09:09,879 –> 00:09:14,279
personnel involved in the operation. The Military High Command noted

132
00:09:14,279 –> 00:09:17,679
that the successful rescue of three hundred and sixty abductees

133
00:09:17,759 –> 00:09:22,279
reflects the effectiveness of intelligence led operations, the growing synergy

134
00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:26,159
among security stakeholders, and the unwavering resolve of the Armed

135
00:09:26,200 –> 00:09:30,039
Forces of Nigeria to protect innocent citizens and restore lasting

136
00:09:30,080 –> 00:09:34,840
peace to affected communities. The Military High Command further reassured

137
00:09:34,879 –> 00:09:38,840
the public the agressive follow on exploitation and clearance operations

138
00:09:38,879 –> 00:09:43,960
are ongoing to neutralize residual terrorist elements, dismantle remaining support

139
00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:48,879
networks and prevent future abductions. The Nigeria military statement ends

140
00:09:48,919 –> 00:09:54,320
in quotes. Immediately, the Borno South Youth Alliance BOSSIA responded

141
00:09:54,320 –> 00:09:58,919
and said Borneo South Youth Alliance Bossier, through its president,

142
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:01,840
brought the issue two of the four hundred and sixteen

143
00:10:01,879 –> 00:10:06,000
women and children kidnapped by BOCO harm sometimes around March

144
00:10:06,080 –> 00:10:09,639
twenty twenty six to light light, put in every necessary

145
00:10:09,679 –> 00:10:13,080
bravery related efforts and got his requests granted, which one

146
00:10:13,240 –> 00:10:16,519
was to make a video proof of life. At first,

147
00:10:16,519 –> 00:10:19,399
there were not willing to negotiate or discuss, but after

148
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:23,759
extensive discussions and acknowledgment of our efforts towards the grassroots,

149
00:10:23,799 –> 00:10:27,399
the IMAM top command agreed and we had talks for weeks.

150
00:10:28,159 –> 00:10:31,159
BOSSIA will be releasing or has released voice notes of

151
00:10:31,159 –> 00:10:34,559
our final discussions which was done Friday, fifth of June

152
00:10:34,600 –> 00:10:38,080
twenty twenty six, and Nigerians will clearly hear them admit

153
00:10:38,120 –> 00:10:41,600
the reasons they released them and how Borno Southvieth Alliance

154
00:10:41,840 –> 00:10:45,919
BOSSIA President Samila Ibrahem Kaigammer’s efforts made and agreed to

155
00:10:46,000 –> 00:10:49,600
release the kidnapped victim’s contrary to what some media outlets

156
00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:52,879
are carrying about a rescue or government boys and followers

157
00:10:52,879 –> 00:10:57,159
acclaiming glory for our efforts. If they paid ransom, they

158
00:10:57,200 –> 00:10:59,840
should come out and tell Nigerians which we have the

159
00:11:00,120 –> 00:11:03,360
full details if ransom was paid or not. As Senator

160
00:11:03,399 –> 00:11:08,039
Aliendoume automatically started thanking President Bolah Ahmed to Nubu, is

161
00:11:08,080 –> 00:11:11,840
there something Nigerians need to know that is hidden? Only

162
00:11:11,919 –> 00:11:15,000
Bossyr President knows the hidden facts and hopefully he is

163
00:11:15,080 –> 00:11:18,240
ready to talk about some secrets that might shake Nigeria

164
00:11:18,320 –> 00:11:22,320
and possibly the world. In another press release, the group

165
00:11:22,440 –> 00:11:26,279
said that or No South Youth Alliance BOSSIA is happy

166
00:11:26,279 –> 00:11:29,679
to announce to the general public that our cries, advocacy

167
00:11:30,039 –> 00:11:33,279
and efforts regarding the Engosh four hundred and sixteen women

168
00:11:33,320 –> 00:11:38,000
and children have begun to yield positive results. Yesterday through

169
00:11:38,039 –> 00:11:42,879
the efforts of our President, Sameila ibraheim Kaigamma. Communications were

170
00:11:42,919 –> 00:11:46,279
held and we were informed that most, if not all

171
00:11:46,519 –> 00:11:50,200
of the victims would be released as you read this message,

172
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:54,679
that process has already begun. Before any politician or political

173
00:11:54,799 –> 00:11:58,679
personal assistants claim glory for this development, we will back

174
00:11:58,759 –> 00:12:01,679
our efforts with voice. Note it’s twenty four hours plus

175
00:12:01,720 –> 00:12:05,919
before their release. Watch them claim glory for zero efforts.
