1
00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,359
Speaker 1: Justice James Omitosho of the Federal High Court sitting in

2
00:00:03,399 –> 00:00:07,360
Abujo on Friday rule that the detained Biafra Agitation leader

3
00:00:07,839 –> 00:00:12,320
Namdikaru has case to answer because the Nigeria Government prosecution

4
00:00:12,519 –> 00:00:16,640
team have provided some evidence that requires explanations from the

5
00:00:16,679 –> 00:00:21,160
detained biafor leader. This the coordinating lawyer to Namdi Karo,

6
00:00:21,519 –> 00:00:24,480
Barrister A. Lloyergi mccurse, said the judgment of the court

7
00:00:24,559 –> 00:00:28,879
does not mean Namdikru has been pronounced guilty. Rather, the

8
00:00:28,960 –> 00:00:32,719
ruling indicated that he should give explanations to certain evidences

9
00:00:32,759 –> 00:00:36,679
the Federal Government of Nigeria brought before the court. It

10
00:00:36,719 –> 00:00:39,000
would be recalled that the ruling on the no case

11
00:00:39,000 –> 00:00:42,399
submission filed by namdy Kano that was earlier slated to

12
00:00:42,399 –> 00:00:45,840
be held on October tenth, twenty twenty five, was abridged

13
00:00:45,880 –> 00:00:49,320
and rescheduled to Friday, the twenty sixth of September twenty

14
00:00:49,399 –> 00:00:54,520
twenty five. Justice James Amitosho also rejected request by KRNO

15
00:00:54,640 –> 00:00:57,600
to be transferred from custody of the Department of State

16
00:00:57,719 –> 00:01:01,439
Services DSS to the National Hoble Hospital, Abuja for medical

17
00:01:01,479 –> 00:01:06,920
examination over alleged deteriorating health issues. The court subsequently ordered

18
00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:11,519
the President of Nigerian Medical Association an M to constitute

19
00:01:11,560 –> 00:01:15,560
an investigation committee to examine Karnu’s medical condition and submit

20
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:18,359
a report to it in eight days, following objection by

21
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:22,000
DSS to his request to be transferred to National Hospital

22
00:01:22,079 –> 00:01:25,879
for second opinion on his health condition. We had earlier

23
00:01:25,920 –> 00:01:28,519
in the year reported that the case between the Federal

24
00:01:28,560 –> 00:01:31,760
Government of Nigeria and the detained leader of the Indigenous

25
00:01:31,799 –> 00:01:35,719
People of Biafra, Nandi Karnu, apparently took a new technical

26
00:01:35,760 –> 00:01:38,920
twist after one of the lawyers of the detained Biafra leader,

27
00:01:39,319 –> 00:01:43,599
Paul Rikoro Sam, presented and played three videos which the

28
00:01:43,640 –> 00:01:47,480
Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, later admitted in evidence.

29
00:01:47,879 –> 00:01:51,640
The videos of former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, Retired

30
00:01:51,719 –> 00:01:57,040
General Theophilis Danjuma saying security operatives in the West Africa country,

31
00:01:57,359 –> 00:02:00,799
specifically the armed forces are working together with the armed

32
00:02:00,799 –> 00:02:05,159
bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing that if Nigerians depend on

33
00:02:05,239 –> 00:02:08,520
the armed forces to curb in security, they will all

34
00:02:08,560 –> 00:02:11,759
die one by one. Also that of Governor Hope whose

35
00:02:11,759 –> 00:02:16,000
odenbur of Imho State saying politicians are behind killings in

36
00:02:16,039 –> 00:02:19,560
the state. Lastly, in the most interesting video played at

37
00:02:19,560 –> 00:02:22,680
the court to counter the testimony or statement made by

38
00:02:22,719 –> 00:02:26,960
the DSS prosecutor witness over Nandi Kalu led Ipo be

39
00:02:27,039 –> 00:02:31,759
founding Eastern Security Network ESN, allegedly created by group of

40
00:02:31,759 –> 00:02:36,159
youths in the Southeastern geopolitical zone of Nigeria often referred

41
00:02:36,199 –> 00:02:39,479
to as Biafra Land to fight in self defense against

42
00:02:39,520 –> 00:02:43,319
Fulani armed bandits or terrorists that were advancing and killing

43
00:02:43,360 –> 00:02:46,599
people in the Eastern state during the era of President

44
00:02:46,639 –> 00:02:49,879
Mohammadu Buhari. Was that of the Director General of the

45
00:02:49,919 –> 00:02:55,000
Department of State Services DSS, Adeola Ajai, who is apparently

46
00:02:55,039 –> 00:02:58,719
the government chief complainer in the case and the DSSDG

47
00:02:58,919 –> 00:03:02,400
in the video recorded and published by Symphony News Media

48
00:03:02,560 –> 00:03:06,680
in February twenty twenty five, narrated how youths of Azare

49
00:03:06,800 –> 00:03:11,120
community in Katagum Local Government Area and Tafawa belay Were

50
00:03:11,199 –> 00:03:14,919
community of Tafawa bulay Were Local Government Area in Bauchi

51
00:03:15,000 –> 00:03:18,599
State when the DSSDG was the State Director of State

52
00:03:18,680 –> 00:03:23,560
Security Services SSS, resorted to self help and killed all

53
00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:27,360
Voco Haram terrorists that came to attack them without depending

54
00:03:27,400 –> 00:03:31,240
on the security operatives. According to the President of France

55
00:03:31,599 –> 00:03:35,759
Emmanuel Macron and its US counterpart Donald Trump, on Tuesday

56
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:39,400
engaged in a tough talk over the recognition of Palestine

57
00:03:39,520 –> 00:03:43,120
state and the Israeli war in Gaza during the bilateral

58
00:03:43,199 –> 00:03:46,879
meeting both held on the sideline of the UN General

59
00:03:46,919 –> 00:03:50,919
Assembly in New York, where the French president insisted that

60
00:03:51,039 –> 00:03:54,479
Israel has already achieved more by killing the top militia

61
00:03:54,560 –> 00:03:58,520
leaders of Hamas, saying it doesn’t work to dismantle the Hamas.

62
00:03:58,879 –> 00:04:01,479
This is not the right way to proceed, he said,

63
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:05,520
while President Trump had reiterated and insisted that things will

64
00:04:05,520 –> 00:04:08,800
not work the way. The French president had suggested that

65
00:04:09,240 –> 00:04:12,680
the October seventh, twenty twenty three hostages still in the

66
00:04:12,719 –> 00:04:15,960
custody of her Mass cannot be honored with such suggestions.

67
00:04:16,360 –> 00:04:19,279
The meeting was held when videos of the French President

68
00:04:19,639 –> 00:04:23,920
Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President Recep Erduwan went viral on

69
00:04:23,959 –> 00:04:27,759
the Internet, where both presidents were stopped or blocked separately

70
00:04:27,800 –> 00:04:30,839
by New York police operatives as they tried to cross

71
00:04:30,879 –> 00:04:33,279
streets in the New York City over yet to be

72
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:38,360
seen incoming motorcade of their counterpart, President Donald Trump. The

73
00:04:38,439 –> 00:04:42,279
French President Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump on the phone

74
00:04:42,319 –> 00:04:45,120
after his journey to the French Embassy was blocked by

75
00:04:45,160 –> 00:04:49,000
police officers preparing for the motorcade of the US president,

76
00:04:49,079 –> 00:04:53,160
but that of the Turkish president, Receperduwan could be seen

77
00:04:53,639 –> 00:04:56,480
quickly surrounded by his security team in a manner that

78
00:04:56,560 –> 00:04:59,519
makes the president looked apparently and shot. The moment, some

79
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:03,000
group of New York police offices advanced towards them to

80
00:05:03,040 –> 00:05:07,439
stop the Turkish presidential team from crossing the road. According

81
00:05:07,480 –> 00:05:11,040
to New York Times, nothing frustrates a New Yorker in

82
00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:13,720
a hurry like finding that a street has been blocked

83
00:05:13,720 –> 00:05:17,720
off because some big shot is in town. Apparently the

84
00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:21,199
same is true for the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.

85
00:05:21,879 –> 00:05:25,319
On Monday evening, mister Macron, in New York for the

86
00:05:25,439 –> 00:05:29,240
UN General Assembly, was stuck on a Manhattan street corner

87
00:05:29,279 –> 00:05:33,000
that had been closed off for President Trump’s motorcade. The

88
00:05:33,079 –> 00:05:37,319
meeting of world leaders is, among other things, a traffic nightmare.

89
00:05:38,040 –> 00:05:41,800
At first, mister Macron did what many New Yorkers might do.

90
00:05:42,240 –> 00:05:44,759
He pleaded with a police officer to let him cross

91
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:48,759
the street. I have ten people with me, mister Macron

92
00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:52,000
told the officer, according to video that shows the French

93
00:05:52,040 –> 00:05:55,399
president making his case on the street corner, I go

94
00:05:55,519 –> 00:05:58,839
to the French embassy. But the officer politely held his

95
00:05:58,920 –> 00:06:01,800
ground and would not let mister Macron crossed the street.

96
00:06:02,519 –> 00:06:06,959
I’m sorry, President, I’m really sorry, he told mister Macron.

97
00:06:07,639 –> 00:06:11,160
It’s just that everything’s been frozen. Right now. There’s a

98
00:06:11,199 –> 00:06:15,759
motorcade coming right now. I’m sorry. Mister Macron, who has

99
00:06:15,800 –> 00:06:18,600
engaged in diplomacy to try to end the wars in

100
00:06:18,720 –> 00:06:23,199
Ukraine and Gaza, tried again. I negotiate with you, the

101
00:06:23,240 –> 00:06:27,040
French president said on the video. When that didn’t work,

102
00:06:27,439 –> 00:06:31,000
mister Macron did what average New Yorkers cannot do. He

103
00:06:31,079 –> 00:06:33,319
pulled out his phone and called the President of the

104
00:06:33,439 –> 00:06:37,920
United States. How are you, he asked mister Trump, cell

105
00:06:37,959 –> 00:06:41,240
phone pressed to his ear. Yes, what I am waiting

106
00:06:41,319 –> 00:06:44,639
the street because everything is frozen for you. It was

107
00:06:44,720 –> 00:06:47,839
not clear from the video what mister Trump said, but

108
00:06:47,959 –> 00:06:51,160
mister Macron chuckled and told the American president that he

109
00:06:51,279 –> 00:06:53,759
was hoping to have a discussion with him and Katari

110
00:06:53,839 –> 00:06:57,920
officials about the situation in Gaza. The White House did

111
00:06:57,959 –> 00:07:00,920
not immediately respond to a request. There is no doubt

112
00:07:00,920 –> 00:07:03,079
that this week may be an interesting week in the

113
00:07:03,079 –> 00:07:06,720
international community, as world leaders gather for the twenty twenty

114
00:07:06,759 –> 00:07:10,519
five United Nations General Assembly meeting to discuss and take

115
00:07:10,560 –> 00:07:14,160
a standover decades of conflicts between Israel and the people

116
00:07:14,240 –> 00:07:17,879
of Palestine, especially some of them well known as Hamas fighters,

117
00:07:18,399 –> 00:07:22,759
over territorial integrity and sovereignty, most especially ever since the

118
00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:26,920
State of Palestine was officially declared by the Palestine Liberation

119
00:07:27,120 –> 00:07:31,519
Organisation PLO on the fifteenth of November nineteen eighty eight,

120
00:07:31,920 –> 00:07:35,959
claiming sovereignty over the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem

121
00:07:36,199 –> 00:07:38,360
and the Gaza Strip, and as at the end of

122
00:07:38,480 –> 00:07:42,600
nineteen eighty eight, over seventy eight countries approved the declaration,

123
00:07:42,759 –> 00:07:47,600
including Nigeria, that recognized Palestinian state barely three days after

124
00:07:47,639 –> 00:07:51,720
the declaration on November eighteen, nineteen eighty eight, and the

125
00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:55,560
numbers have been increasing, particularly since the beginning of twenty

126
00:07:55,639 –> 00:07:59,519
twenty four like never before. As at September twenty first,

127
00:07:59,560 –> 00:08:02,920
twenty one, twenty five, over one hundred and fifty one

128
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:06,240
countries out of the one hundred and ninety three United

129
00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:12,040
nations members have recognized the Palestinian State, including United Kingdom UK,

130
00:08:12,199 –> 00:08:15,240
which its recognition appears to be more disturbing to the

131
00:08:15,279 –> 00:08:20,199
Israeli government, with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo issuing

132
00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:22,639
what he described as a clear message to the world

133
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:26,000
leaders recognizing Palestine as a country of its own that

134
00:08:26,040 –> 00:08:30,879
it’s not going to happen. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,

135
00:08:30,879 –> 00:08:34,399
among others, declared and announced their recognition of the Palestinian

136
00:08:34,559 –> 00:08:39,440
State on September twenty first, twenty twenty five, while countries

137
00:08:39,559 –> 00:08:43,279
like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea, among others, are

138
00:08:43,320 –> 00:08:46,919
yet to make their position known. In a video broadcast

139
00:08:47,000 –> 00:08:51,399
on Sunday, the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said today

140
00:08:51,720 –> 00:08:54,240
to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and

141
00:08:54,320 –> 00:08:58,200
Israelis and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally

142
00:08:58,279 –> 00:09:01,960
recognizes the State of Palestine, adding that the recognition is

143
00:09:02,039 –> 00:09:05,320
not a reward for her Mass, reiterating that the United

144
00:09:05,399 –> 00:09:08,759
Kingdom has already prescribed and sanctioned her Mass as a

145
00:09:08,879 –> 00:09:12,600
terrorist organization, saying any member of her Mass will not

146
00:09:12,679 –> 00:09:15,679
be a member of the Palestinian government, including joining the

147
00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:20,120
security architectures of the Palestinian state. Her statement by the

148
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:23,679
Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin netanya who issued a few

149
00:09:23,679 –> 00:09:27,080
hours after the video broadcast by the Prime Minister of

150
00:09:27,120 –> 00:09:31,240
the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, the Israel Prime Minister said

151
00:09:31,279 –> 00:09:33,840
there would never be a Palestinian state to the west

152
00:09:33,840 –> 00:09:38,320
of the Jordan River. In quotes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah

153
00:09:38,360 –> 00:09:41,159
who said, I have a clear message to those leaders

154
00:09:41,159 –> 00:09:44,919
who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October

155
00:09:44,960 –> 00:09:49,279
seventh massacre. You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize,

156
00:09:49,440 –> 00:09:52,399
and I have another message for you. It’s not going

157
00:09:52,440 –> 00:09:55,759
to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the

158
00:09:55,759 –> 00:09:59,320
west of the Jordan River. For years, I have prevented

159
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:03,279
the creation of that terror state against tremendous pressure, both

160
00:10:03,320 –> 00:10:07,279
domestic and from abroad. We have done this with determination

161
00:10:07,759 –> 00:10:11,480
and with its due statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the

162
00:10:11,559 –> 00:10:15,159
Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue

163
00:10:15,159 –> 00:10:18,519
on this path. The response to the latest attempt to

164
00:10:18,600 –> 00:10:20,879
force upon us a terra state in the heart of

165
00:10:20,919 –> 00:10:23,519
our land will be given. After my return from the

166
00:10:23,639 –> 00:10:27,960
United States stand by in the face of the growing

167
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:34,519
horror in the Middle East. Aladi bringi Guigni in amogical
