Speaker 1: Kaduna State Governor Uber Sani has demanded the Governor of

2
00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:07,839
Plato State, Caleb Mufwang, to take full charge and direct

3
00:00:07,839 –> 00:00:11,720
the operations of security agencies until the suspected killers of

4
00:00:11,759 –> 00:00:15,480
twelve persons among the occupants of her eighteen seater bus

5
00:00:15,480 –> 00:00:18,879
that were traveling from Zaria to kuan Pan Local Government

6
00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:22,359
area of Plato State for wedding ceremony. When group of

7
00:00:22,399 –> 00:00:26,000
youths stopped the vehicle at Mangan community in Mango Local

8
00:00:26,079 –> 00:00:29,960
Government area of Plato State, mobbed the travelers, with some

9
00:00:30,039 –> 00:00:32,640
of the victims burnt to death inside the bus while

10
00:00:32,679 –> 00:00:37,479
about eleven persons escaped with severe injuries. According to Kaduna

11
00:00:37,560 –> 00:00:41,039
State Governor Uber Sani in a press release he personally

12
00:00:41,119 –> 00:00:44,560
signed and made available on Saturday, he said the criminals

13
00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:48,240
must be fished out and dealt with accordingly. He said,

14
00:00:48,359 –> 00:00:50,840
we received with shock and deep sorrow news of the

15
00:00:50,920 –> 00:00:54,439
killing of twelve Kaduna State citizens in the troubled Mangan

16
00:00:54,520 –> 00:00:59,280
district of Mango Local Government, Plato State. Eleven others sustained

17
00:00:59,359 –> 00:01:03,560
various degrees of injuries. The innocent travelers met the deaths

18
00:01:03,560 –> 00:01:07,159
while traveling to Quanpan Local Government of Plato state for

19
00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:11,079
a wedding ceremony. We condemn in the strongest terms these

20
00:01:11,120 –> 00:01:14,439
acts of savagery. The criminals must be fished out and

21
00:01:14,560 –> 00:01:18,359
dealt with accordingly. We call on security agencies to leave

22
00:01:18,439 –> 00:01:21,879
no stone unturned until these criminal elements are hunted down

23
00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:25,120
and brought to justice. We must put a stop to

24
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:29,120
the nefarious activities of non state actors. There is no

25
00:01:29,359 –> 00:01:33,159
justification for anybody to attack any citizen of Nigeria in

26
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:37,359
any part of the country. This madness must stop. Enough

27
00:01:37,480 –> 00:01:40,920
is enough. I also call on the Plata State Governor,

28
00:01:40,920 –> 00:01:45,359
His Excellency Barrister Caleb Mutfwang, to use this unfortunate incident

29
00:01:45,439 –> 00:01:48,879
to make a bold statement. He must take full charge

30
00:01:48,879 –> 00:01:52,200
of the situation and direct the operations of the security

31
00:01:52,280 –> 00:01:56,079
agencies until the murderers are brought to justice. I will

32
00:01:56,120 –> 00:01:59,640
personally follow up on the progress made in the investigations

33
00:01:59,680 –> 00:02:03,239
and fear yield operations in search of the criminals. We

34
00:02:03,359 –> 00:02:06,319
must send a clear signal that impunity will no longer

35
00:02:06,319 –> 00:02:09,960
be tolerated. Let me use this opportunity to call on

36
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:14,039
the citizens of Kaduna State to remain calm. All hands

37
00:02:14,039 –> 00:02:18,039
are on deck to ensure that our murdered citizens get justice.

38
00:02:18,080 –> 00:02:21,560
We have made remarkable progress in peace building and conflict

39
00:02:21,599 –> 00:02:25,719
transformation in Kaduna State. The Kaduna Peace model is a

40
00:02:25,759 –> 00:02:28,719
pointer to the fact that with political will, commitment and

41
00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:32,240
sincerity of purpose, a toxic environment can be turned to

42
00:02:32,360 –> 00:02:36,639
an oasis of peace. The situation in Platau State is

43
00:02:36,680 –> 00:02:41,240
not irredeemable. The bloodshed must stop. Our deepest condolences to

44
00:02:41,280 –> 00:02:44,280
the families of our citizens who lost the precious lives

45
00:02:44,280 –> 00:02:47,599
in Mangoo Local Government. I am in touch with the

46
00:02:47,639 –> 00:02:50,800
families of the victims. We shall do all in our

47
00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:54,280
power to lessen their pains. We shall also ensure that

48
00:02:54,319 –> 00:02:58,840
the injured victims receive adequate medical attention. May the gentle

49
00:02:58,919 –> 00:03:02,840

deep shock and sorrow over the tragic mob action that

59
00:03:39,560 –> 00:03:42,719

60
00:03:42,800 –> 00:03:46,840

Kaduna State to Quompan Local Government Area of Plato State

64
00:03:59,159 –> 00:04:03,120
for her wedding, lost their way and inadvertently ran into

65
00:04:03,240 –> 00:04:07,199
a tense and volatile situation in Mangan, a community grappling

66
00:04:07,240 –> 00:04:12,000
with sustained terrorist attacks. Tragically, the incident resulted in the

67
00:04:12,039 –> 00:04:15,840
loss of eight innocent lives, while several others sustained varying

68
00:04:15,919 –> 00:04:19,040
degrees of injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the

69
00:04:19,079 –> 00:04:23,959
General hospital in Mangou. Governor Mafwang, who visited the survivors

70
00:04:23,959 –> 00:04:26,680
in the hospital and the scene of the unfortunate incident,

71
00:04:27,160 –> 00:04:30,560
expressed profound grief and described the mob action as totally

72
00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:34,399
condemnable and avoidable. He noted with sadness that the Mangan

73
00:04:34,480 –> 00:04:38,240
District and adjoining districts of Chakfem in Mangan Local Government

74
00:04:38,319 –> 00:04:42,079
Area and Mushiir in Bokovs’s Local Government Area have for

75
00:04:42,199 –> 00:04:45,839
over a month suffered co ordinated terrorist assaults, resulting in

76
00:04:45,959 –> 00:04:52,399
daily casualties and mass displacements, plunging communities into mourning and distress. However,

77
00:04:52,839 –> 00:04:56,040
he emphasized that the prolonged attacks do not justify such

78
00:04:56,040 –> 00:05:00,399
a census act against innocent commuters. Speaking at them scene

79
00:05:00,399 –> 00:05:04,279
of the incident, Governor Muffwang said, today is a tragic

80
00:05:04,360 –> 00:05:07,759
day for us in Plato State. I never imagine such

81
00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:11,000
a senseless act of violence could occur within our borders,

82
00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:14,560
especially considering the commendable efforts of our youths in this

83
00:05:14,680 –> 00:05:18,560
community and neighboring districts who have consistently risen to support

84
00:05:18,600 –> 00:05:23,680
security agencies in defending against criminal incursions. It is deeply

85
00:05:23,680 –> 00:05:26,639
disheartening that the same youths who have shown courage and

86
00:05:26,720 –> 00:05:29,680
patriotism would turn around and take the law into their

87
00:05:29,720 –> 00:05:34,160
own hands. This is utterly unacceptable and the government will

88
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:37,240
not sweep it under the carpet. We are working to

89
00:05:37,319 –> 00:05:40,399
build a plateau that is welcoming to all and hospitable

90
00:05:40,399 –> 00:05:44,240
to visitors. We have been educating our young people about

91
00:05:44,240 –> 00:05:47,600
the importance of allowing free passage on all roads across

92
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:50,199
the state and this incident has come to us as

93
00:05:50,199 –> 00:05:54,360
a rude shock. Governor Muffwang further stated, I want to

94
00:05:54,399 –> 00:05:58,720
reassure Nigerians that Plato remains a safe place for all travelers.

95
00:05:59,439 –> 00:06:02,720
I have oken with my colleague, the Executive Governor of

96
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:06,839
Kaduna State to brief him on this unfortunate incident. I

97
00:06:06,959 –> 00:06:10,120
have also reached out to His Royal Highness, the Emir

98
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:14,199

99
00:06:14,240 –> 00:06:18,199
loss of lives. In the spirit of solidarity, we will

00:06:18,240 –> 00:06:21,199

stressing that such acts of violence have no place in

105
00:06:35,040 –> 00:06:39,399
a civilized society. While acknowledging the pain and frustration of

106
00:06:39,439 –> 00:06:43,600
communities under siege, he strongly warned against resorting to jungle

107
00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:48,000
justice or mob action regardless of provocation. He directed the

108
00:06:48,079 –> 00:06:51,959
General Hospital in Mangu and all other medical facilities attending

109
00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:55,240
to the victims to provide optimal care, assuring that the

110
00:06:55,240 –> 00:06:58,319
Platau State Government will bear the full cost of treatment.

111
00:06:59,079 –> 00:07:02,680
The governor re affird his administration’s commitment to standing with

112
00:07:02,759 –> 00:07:06,800
the victims and their families during this difficult time. Governor

113
00:07:06,879 –> 00:07:11,319
Mudfwang also charged security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation

114
00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:14,600
into the incident in sure that justice is served and

115
00:07:14,720 –> 00:07:19,319
implement proactive measures to prevent any recurrence. He reiterated that

116
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:23,920
Plato people are renowned for their hospitality, peaceful disposition and

117
00:07:24,079 –> 00:07:27,319
acceptance of others and pledged to uphold those cherished values

118
00:07:27,399 –> 00:07:31,600
under his leadership. In a gesture of solidarity, the Governor

119
00:07:31,639 –> 00:07:35,079
has constituted a high powered delegation to visit the Kaduna

120
00:07:35,160 –> 00:07:38,079

121
00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:41,639
to convey the heartfelt condolences of the government and people

122
00:07:41,680 –> 00:07:46,120
of Plato State. Governor Mutfwang also used the opportunity to

123
00:07:46,160 –> 00:07:49,800
condemn the ongoing wave of killings and destruction in rural

124
00:07:49,839 –> 00:07:55,480
communities across Bokos, Mangu, Rheum, Barkan, Ladie and Basa local

125
00:07:55,519 –> 00:07:58,959
government areas, which have led to widespread displacement and a

126
00:07:59,040 –> 00:08:03,360
worsening humanityan crisis on behalf of the government and the

127
00:08:03,399 –> 00:08:07,399
peace loving people of Plato State. The Governor extended sincere

128
00:08:07,439 –> 00:08:11,040
sympathies to all those affected, prayed for the speedy recovery

129
00:08:11,040 –> 00:08:14,120
of the injured, and sought divine comfort for the bereaved.

130

Former Nigeria Minister of Digital Economy, Professor isa Ali Ibrahim

131
00:08:19,839 –> 00:08:22,759

133
00:08:26,519 –> 00:08:31,040

their way to attend a marriage ceremony. Eleven others among

136
00:08:38,519 –> 00:08:42,840
them received various injuries. May Allah grant them Shahada and

137
00:08:42,919 –> 00:08:47,600
heal the injured. This is increasingly unfortunate and worrisome, especially

138
00:08:47,639 –> 00:08:50,399
given that just last week we were saddened by the

139
00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:54,440
killing of our citizens in Bnu State. As reported the

140
00:08:54,559 –> 00:08:57,799

144
00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:17,960
As one lady bringin you Renie in a mortgage itself

145
00:09:18,000 –> 00:09:18,159
