00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Founder of Sahare Reporters news media and the organizer of

2
00:00:03,720 –> 00:00:07,919
the Free Namdi Cardu protest, Omilee Saware, has refuted and

3
00:00:07,960 –> 00:00:11,439
debunked the reports circulating in some sections of the media

4
00:00:11,519 –> 00:00:14,800
that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has stopped

5
00:00:14,800 –> 00:00:19,199
the upcoming Monday, October twentieth mass protest organized to demand

6
00:00:19,239 –> 00:00:24,280
the release of the detained Biafa Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikranu,

7
00:00:24,719 –> 00:00:28,199
saying the media report is false and a calculated attempt

8
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:31,039
to distract members of the public from coming out to

9
00:00:31,120 –> 00:00:34,840
join the protest, adding Namdikru is so sick that the

10
00:00:34,840 –> 00:00:37,920
people must come out now to set him free. The

11
00:00:37,960 –> 00:00:42,240
sickness is alleged by Omila Saware apparently challenged the medical

12
00:00:42,320 –> 00:00:46,520
report issued by the Nigerian Medical Association n M who

13
00:00:46,560 –> 00:00:49,799
had submitted its panel report before the trial court on

14
00:00:49,920 –> 00:00:54,039
Thursday that Namdikru is fit to face trial that the

15
00:00:54,119 –> 00:00:58,159
sickness is not life threatening, but Punch newspaper reporter at

16
00:00:58,159 –> 00:01:00,520
the court on Thursday reported day that it was the

17
00:01:00,560 –> 00:01:04,599
Department of State Services PSS lawyer who happened to be

18
00:01:04,680 –> 00:01:07,319
one of the parties in the dispute that presented the

19
00:01:07,480 –> 00:01:10,760
NMA medical report before the court. We are yet to

20
00:01:10,799 –> 00:01:16,480
ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity, accuracy and transparency of the

21
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:22,200
Nigerian Medical Association NME in conducting the medical examination. In

22
00:01:22,239 –> 00:01:26,799
a statement on Saturday, Omiele Sware said the Federal High

23
00:01:26,799 –> 00:01:30,239
Court in Abuja has not stopped the proposed free Namnicanuno

24
00:01:30,319 –> 00:01:35,319
protests slated for Monday, October twentieth, twenty twenty five. Contrary

25
00:01:35,359 –> 00:01:38,879
to the misleading claims being circulated by police, lawyers and

26
00:01:38,959 –> 00:01:42,920
sections of the media, no order was granted restraining citizens

27
00:01:42,959 –> 00:01:48,040
from exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly. Justice Humar

28
00:01:48,120 –> 00:01:50,840
of the Federal High Court declined to issue any ex

29
00:01:50,920 –> 00:01:54,000
party order sought by the police to halt the nationwide

30
00:01:54,040 –> 00:01:59,280
protest altogether. What exists is are purported court order obtained

31
00:01:59,319 –> 00:02:02,159
in chambers by lawyers of the police, which has not

32
00:02:02,200 –> 00:02:05,959
been served on anyone, asking that protesters not protested. Asso

33
00:02:06,079 –> 00:02:10,199
Rock Villa, National Assembly, Eagle Square and a certain show

34
00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:13,800
Shagari Way the latest false claims designed to confuse the

35
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:18,840
public and discouraged participation. The protest date is sacrasanct. The

36
00:02:18,919 –> 00:02:24,039
movement is unstoppable. In another statement, Emiele Saware said, I

37
00:02:24,199 –> 00:02:26,879
was deeply involved in the struggle for the validation of

38
00:02:26,919 –> 00:02:30,120
the June twelfth election, and I remember vividly how the

39
00:02:30,199 –> 00:02:33,919
system operated back then, how they weaponized the judiciary to

40
00:02:33,960 –> 00:02:37,840
buy time, to deceive the public and to justify injustice.

41
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:42,280
They kept saying Aaviola’s case is in court, using that

42
00:02:42,360 –> 00:02:45,400
as a shield for tyranny until they eventually killed him

43
00:02:45,439 –> 00:02:49,639
a day before his supposed release. It was a well

44
00:02:49,719 –> 00:02:54,479
orchestrated tragedy disguised as legal processes. Today, I see the

45
00:02:54,560 –> 00:02:58,879
same script being replayed with Marzi Namdikannu, the same manipulation,

46
00:02:59,319 –> 00:03:03,599
the same extreme uses, fake narrators, fake protesters, the same

47
00:03:03,639 –> 00:03:08,039
abuse of process. The language has not changed, only the

48
00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:12,639
victims have. History is repeating itself before our eyes, and

49
00:03:12,879 –> 00:03:15,680
just as we fought to expose the truth, then we

50
00:03:15,759 –> 00:03:19,879
must do so now before it’s too late. The Nandikru

51
00:03:19,960 –> 00:03:23,000
I saw in court on October sixteenth is very ill.

52
00:03:23,439 –> 00:03:26,599
We must rescue him before another citizen is sacrificed to

53
00:03:26,639 –> 00:03:31,240
the bloodthirsty Nigerian elite. Club. Punch newspaper had during the

54
00:03:31,280 –> 00:03:36,000
week reported that the Nigerian Medical Association on Thursday informed

55
00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:38,599
the Federal High Court in Abuja that the illness of

56
00:03:38,639 –> 00:03:42,759
the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nandikru is

57
00:03:42,840 –> 00:03:46,400
not life threatening. The medical panels set up by the

58
00:03:46,520 –> 00:03:50,199
NMA President said it had concluded the health assessment ordered

59
00:03:50,199 –> 00:03:52,840
by the court on the IPO B leader and found

60
00:03:52,879 –> 00:03:57,000
that Carnu is fit to stand trial. About two weeks ago,

61
00:03:57,280 –> 00:04:01,960
the trial Judge, Justice James Omitosho directed the association to

62
00:04:02,039 –> 00:04:07,759
independently assess Carnu’s health status following conflicting medical reports presented

63
00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:12,039
by the defense and the prosecution. While DSS Council Mister

64
00:04:12,120 –> 00:04:16,720
a Womeolo adding boyegber Sam maintained that Carnu’s health could

65
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:20,800
be adequately managed at the DSS Medical Facility, the Defense

66
00:04:20,839 –> 00:04:25,920
Council Mister Oyachi Ikpizu San insisted that his client’s health

67
00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:28,240
was deteriorating and that he should be taken to the

68
00:04:28,319 –> 00:04:32,839
National Hospital for proper care. This prompted Justice Homatosho to

69
00:04:32,959 –> 00:04:37,399
order the NMA to conduct an independent medical examination to determine,

70
00:04:37,680 –> 00:04:41,399
among other things, whether the DSS Medical Facility could cater

71
00:04:41,480 –> 00:04:43,959
to Carnu’s needs are if he should be transferred to

72
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:48,079
the National Hospital as requested by the defense. The report

73
00:04:48,199 –> 00:04:51,240
is also expected to determine whether Krnu is fit to

74
00:04:51,279 –> 00:04:56,160
stand trial. However, at the previous sitting, Homaitosho had to

75
00:04:56,199 –> 00:05:00,360
rejourn for October sixteenth for the presentation of Karnus’s medical

76
00:05:00,399 –> 00:05:03,639
examination report by the nm Due to the inability of

77
00:05:03,680 –> 00:05:06,600
the panel to conclude its assessment of the IPO B

78
00:05:06,839 –> 00:05:10,399
leader’s health status and present its findings before the court,

79
00:05:11,160 –> 00:05:14,279
the DSS requested a one week adjournment to allow the

80
00:05:14,399 –> 00:05:19,399
NMA Medical Board to conclude its investigation. Kanu is currently

81
00:05:19,439 –> 00:05:22,959
being prosecuted by the federal government on charges relating to

82
00:05:23,000 –> 00:05:27,639
alleged terrorism. According to the panel’s report, which was submitted

83
00:05:27,639 –> 00:05:31,040
to the court on October thirteenth by the prosecution team

84
00:05:31,120 –> 00:05:33,879
led by A. Womelo and partly read in open court

85
00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:38,319
during Thursday’s proceedings, the medical body stated that the defendant’s

86
00:05:38,319 –> 00:05:41,160
ailment does not pose any immediate danger to his life

87
00:05:41,240 –> 00:05:44,800
and confirm that he is fit to stand trial. Relying

88
00:05:44,839 –> 00:05:47,439
on the medical findings and in the absence of any

89
00:05:47,480 –> 00:05:51,160
objection from Council to the parties, Omatosha ruled that the

90
00:05:51,160 –> 00:05:54,120
court was satisfied that the defendant could proceed with his

91
00:05:54,240 –> 00:05:57,399
trial and okayed the medical facility of the DSS for

92
00:05:57,480 –> 00:06:01,639
his medical care. The judge consci squently granted Carlo six

93
00:06:01,759 –> 00:06:05,879
consecutive days beginning from October twenty third to thirty to

94
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:09,920
open and close. The defendant has until the thirtieth day

95
00:06:09,959 –> 00:06:15,279
of October to close his defense, Omitosho said. Additionally, Justice

96
00:06:15,319 –> 00:06:19,839
Omitosho granted an oral application by Carnu’s lead council chief

97
00:06:19,879 –> 00:06:24,959
Carlu Agabi SAM seeking permission for a private consultation between

98
00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:28,040
the defendant and his legal team outside the Department of

99
00:06:28,079 –> 00:06:32,639
State Services premises. Pgabi had argued that the defense team

100
00:06:32,759 –> 00:06:36,040
feared the discussions with Carnu might be monitored or recorded

101
00:06:36,079 –> 00:06:39,839
by the DSS. The court therefore approved that the private

102
00:06:39,879 –> 00:06:43,000
meeting be held within the court room with only Carlu

103
00:06:43,040 –> 00:06:47,000
and his lawyers present. The consultation is scheduled to take

104
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:50,079
place between nine a m. And twelve noon on October

105
00:06:50,120 –> 00:06:53,120
twenty second, ahead of the resumption of the trial. On

106
00:06:53,199 –> 00:06:57,399
October twenty third. The court adjourned for continuation of the

107
00:06:57,399 –> 00:07:00,720
trial and commencement of Carnu’s defense to the twenty third

108
00:07:00,720 –> 00:07:04,800
of October twenty twenty five. We had reported the Justice

109
00:07:04,879 –> 00:07:07,800
Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in

110
00:07:07,879 –> 00:07:11,759
Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the Inspector

111
00:07:11,879 –> 00:07:16,079
General of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to stop

112
00:07:16,120 –> 00:07:20,680
the upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by Nigerians

113
00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:24,199
to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation

114
00:07:24,360 –> 00:07:28,920
leader Marzi Namdi Kanu. But according to the organizer of

115
00:07:28,959 –> 00:07:33,040
the protest, Omi Yenesaware, after the judge initially declined to

116
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:36,439
grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to

117
00:07:36,480 –> 00:07:40,199
stop the plan protest in the open court, the Federal

118
00:07:40,279 –> 00:07:44,079
High Court Judge Justice Mumar reportedly granted the motion in

119
00:07:44,240 –> 00:07:47,639
chambers imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa,

120
00:07:48,120 –> 00:07:51,800
National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a

121
00:07:51,879 –> 00:07:55,680
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.

122
00:07:55,959 –> 00:07:59,759
The protest remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The United

123
00:07:59,759 –> 00:08:04,759
State US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to

124
00:08:04,839 –> 00:08:08,079
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements

125
00:08:08,120 –> 00:08:12,839
in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest

126
00:08:13,000 –> 00:08:17,519
may lead to disruptions and violence. We had also reported

127
00:08:17,560 –> 00:08:21,639
that the Nigerian Army Authority has issued a statement denying

128
00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:24,879
threat messages issued against members of the public ahead of

129
00:08:24,920 –> 00:08:29,000
the plan mass protests slated for October twentieth, twenty twenty

130
00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:31,639
five to demand for the release and freedom of the

131
00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:36,639
detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdi Kanu, just as

132
00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:40,720
the organizer and chief campaigner, Omiyele Saware, the publisher of

133
00:08:40,759 –> 00:08:44,000
Sahara A Reporters News Media, met to seek understanding with

134
00:08:44,080 –> 00:08:48,080
the former President of Nigeria, good Luck of Belet Jonathan, who,

135
00:08:48,360 –> 00:08:52,120
according to Saware, promised to visit President Bolah Ahmed to

136
00:08:52,200 –> 00:09:00,240
Nubu to discuss the issue with him. Windi whi in
