a senior government official, the death of the Chief of

00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:38,519
Army Staff has been kept secret because of intense loving

28
00:01:38,599 –> 00:01:42,680
by some generals who want to take the position. Lanmager,

29
00:01:43,159 –> 00:01:47,519
born on February twenty eighth, nineteen sixty eight in Illobu

30
00:01:47,959 –> 00:01:51,840

00:01:51,959 –> 00:01:55,400
June twenty twenty three as the twenty seventh Chief of

32
00:01:55,560 –> 00:02:00,640
Army Staff, a day after Jackson ode on October twenty first,

33
00:02:00,680 –> 00:02:04,200
twenty twenty four, started in a tweet that the attem

34
00:02:04,319 –> 00:02:09,080
Chief of Army Staff mentioned General Abdussalani Ibrahim has ordered

35
00:02:09,120 –> 00:02:13,240
my immediate arrest following my regulation that the former Chief

36
00:02:13,240 –> 00:02:17,439
of Army Staff, Lieutenant General tawer In Blackbaja has passed on.

37
00:02:17,840 –> 00:02:20,719
According to an audio recording of his meeting last night

38
00:02:20,800 –> 00:02:25,280
with senior military officers, General Ibrahim is demanding to know

39
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:28,439
the source of my information and has asked the military

40
00:02:28,520 –> 00:02:32,680
to come everywhere and ensure my arrest. While I welcome

41
00:02:32,840 –> 00:02:36,680
General ibraim swift move to have me arrested, I osted

42
00:02:36,759 –> 00:02:40,479
him to use s energy in taming the insecurity in Nigeria.

43
00:02:41,280 –> 00:02:44,520
He should also stop looking for contracts and force his

44
00:02:44,639 –> 00:02:49,120
military job squarely. Haven’t so much confidence on his source

45
00:02:49,159 –> 00:02:53,159
of information. Jackson, though they had. On October twenty, twenty

46
00:02:53,280 –> 00:02:56,840
twenty four, challenged the military authority to provide a video

47
00:02:56,879 –> 00:02:59,639
of Lamager at a sig Birdie proved him wrong that

48
00:02:59,719 –> 00:03:02,919
they are Army chief of staff is still alive. The

49
00:03:03,000 –> 00:03:08,520
military authority apparently disregarded his request. Jackson Odey said, we

50
00:03:08,639 –> 00:03:13,360
are entering the late President Musayaradua era again. The Chief

51
00:03:13,439 –> 00:03:18,759
of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tauri Bladmager, has died. If

52
00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:22,759
the Army says it’s fake news, lets them produce a

53
00:03:22,840 –> 00:03:26,280
one second video of General Langmager on his sick bed.

54
00:03:27,159 –> 00:03:31,159
General Languager is filled with taxpayers money and the taxpayers

55
00:03:31,199 –> 00:03:34,080
deserve to know where the recipient of their tax money

56
00:03:34,240 –> 00:03:38,560
is not all the unnecessary denials. Enough of the game

57
00:03:38,639 –> 00:03:44,159
already that aside. On October thirtieth, twenty twenty four, President

58
