Speaker 1: Queen Noah Magbe Awuare the Second is the fourth wife
2
00:00:03,480 –> 00:00:07,559
of Benin Monic, his Royal Majesty Oberware two, and the
3
00:00:07,639 –> 00:00:11,599
queen is also the biological sister of the Ober’s fifth wife,
4
00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:15,679
Queen ISOs Uare the Second. On Thursday, early morning night,
5
00:00:16,079 –> 00:00:20,039
Queen Noah Magbe apparently used a proxy TikTok account named
6
00:00:20,160 –> 00:00:24,480
Queen ewuaa back up and accused the Benin Traditional Council
7
00:00:24,960 –> 00:00:29,839
BTC of dishonest behavior, categorically stating the BTC lie that
8
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:34,880
nigeria prominent social media streamer babib hamzat Ad Larger aka
9
00:00:35,039 –> 00:00:38,079
Pella was not authorized access into the palace of the
10
00:00:38,119 –> 00:00:41,679
Benin Monarch, where she accidentally met Pella and gave him
11
00:00:41,719 –> 00:00:44,759
a motherly welcome as the queen of the ober An action,
12
00:00:45,119 –> 00:00:48,799
the BTC has alleged she breached the palace protocol, hence
13
00:00:49,039 –> 00:00:51,840
she risked being removed or sent packing from the palace.
14
00:00:52,159 –> 00:00:55,600
According to Queen Noah Magbee in the apparent TikTok social
15
00:00:55,679 –> 00:00:59,039
media proxy account, Feller’s visit to the palace is a
16
00:00:59,079 –> 00:01:01,960
mere cover up that a loss has been happening behind
17
00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:05,120
closed door. She supported her claim with a document that
18
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:08,760
suggests the Benin Traditional Council was aware of Pella coming
19
00:01:08,840 –> 00:01:12,200
to the palace, and the document dated February twenty third,
20
00:01:12,280 –> 00:01:16,400
twenty twenty six indicated that the BTC received and acknowledged
21
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:20,000
the letter of peller planned visit, but if the BTC
22
00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:22,879
actually wrote back to Pella to notify him about the
23
00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:26,799
acceptance or rejection of his request was not stated this.
24
00:01:27,439 –> 00:01:32,079
The president of i Gurbasmy Movement Worldwide Assarro Culture Yarmu,
25
00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:35,280
counted the document and said the receipt of letter at
26
00:01:35,319 –> 00:01:39,719
any institution registry doesn’t amount to approval. However, the moment
27
00:01:39,760 –> 00:01:44,280
the letter is received at Orevied Palace Registry, it’s forwarded
28
00:01:44,319 –> 00:01:47,599
to the private office of Ober of Benin, His Royal
29
00:01:47,680 –> 00:01:53,239
Majesty Homo nober needo Uku Aquolopolo oberreuare two. Ober of
30
00:01:53,239 –> 00:01:57,079
Benin will then instruct the Secretary of Benin Traditional Council
31
00:01:57,480 –> 00:02:00,799
BTC to either write formerly or call those seeking for
32
00:02:00,879 –> 00:02:04,599
approval of their letters, especially as its relate to royal visitations.
33
00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:08,039
Those who lured and deceived Pella without the approval of
34
00:02:08,039 –> 00:02:12,159
Benin Traditional Council BTC of the real problem. For the
35
00:02:12,199 –> 00:02:16,240
avoidance of doubts Queen Nomagbe may not be first Ober
36
00:02:16,360 –> 00:02:19,159
wife to be sent packing from the palace over breached
37
00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:22,719
of access into the monic palace. The ober eldest wife,
38
00:02:22,960 –> 00:02:26,800
Queen iro Gama Uare two, had been sent packing from
39
00:02:26,840 –> 00:02:30,039
the palace simply because one of the biological children of
40
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:32,919
the Ober entered the palace allegibly in a manner the
41
00:02:32,960 –> 00:02:35,800
Ober did not like. This was made known in a
42
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:40,439
reactionary public letter issued on December thirtieth, twenty twenty five
43
00:02:40,599 –> 00:02:44,879
by Prince as Eleaki Uare the second the Ober’s eldest son,
44
00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:47,400
who is believed to be the next Ober of Benin
45
00:02:47,879 –> 00:02:51,680
according to Prince as Eleki by Armed Forces of Nigeria
46
00:02:52,120 –> 00:02:55,400
AFN has stated that its men resisted and pushed back
47
00:02:55,439 –> 00:02:58,840
a group of Islamic State of West Africa Province I

00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:01,360
SWAP fighters at Mane Allam for Tory area in the
49
00:03:01,360 –> 00:03:05,919
Abadam local government area of Borno’s State early morning on Wednesday,
50
00:03:06,319 –> 00:03:10,319
after the ICEWOK fighters launched a simultaneous, five, multiple and
51
00:03:10,439 –> 00:03:14,120
separate offensive attacks against the troops of the Joint Task
52
00:03:14,240 –> 00:03:18,759
Force North East Operation had in Kai. This the Nigeria
53
00:03:18,919 –> 00:03:21,680
Army supported its press release with a video of dead
54
00:03:21,719 –> 00:03:25,639
bodies of the suspected terrorists, some of whom, according to
55
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:29,120
the military authority, were well known Icewok commanders who led
56
00:03:29,159 –> 00:03:33,439
other terrorists to carry out the attacks. Lieutenant Sannie Uber,
57
00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:39,199
the Media information Officer Joint Task Force Northeast Operation HADDEN Kai,
58
00:03:39,319 –> 00:03:42,319
in a press release issued a few minutes ago, noted
59
00:03:42,360 –> 00:03:45,280
that Niger Republica have forced supported in the killing of
60
00:03:45,319 –> 00:03:49,159
the terrorists and other defensive offensive military actions that finally
61
00:03:49,199 –> 00:03:54,280
forced other surviving terrorists to withdraw and flee in disarray. Accordingly,
62
00:03:54,639 –> 00:03:58,319
the press release reads verbatan. Thus, troops of the Joint
63
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:01,639
Task Force North East sst Operation had in kai O
64
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:05,680
PHK in the early hours of Wednesday successfully repelled a
65
00:04:05,759 –> 00:04:10,159
coordinated and simultaneous five pronged terrorist attack on own positions
66
00:04:10,159 –> 00:04:14,159
at Malam for Tory in Sect three. The terrorists, who
67
00:04:14,240 –> 00:04:17,639
advanced in large numbers on foot and deployed armed drones
68
00:04:17,680 –> 00:04:20,680
in a desperate bid to breach the defenses of locations
69
00:04:20,680 –> 00:04:24,360
of troops, particularly along the frontage of Bravo Company from
70
00:04:24,399 –> 00:04:29,120
the Daguri General Area, were met with overwhelming resistance. Having
71
00:04:29,199 –> 00:04:33,279
maintained full situational awareness of the battle space, troops had
72
00:04:33,319 –> 00:04:37,439
anticipated the attack and deliberately prepared an offensive defensive battle
73
00:04:37,480 –> 00:04:41,920
designed to decisively defeat and annihilate the assault elements through
74
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:47,079
disciplined fire control, co ordinated maneuver and superior tactical execution.
75
00:04:47,560 –> 00:04:51,439
The attackers were engaged, disrupted, and rooted in disarray, with
76
00:04:51,560 –> 00:04:56,079
no fewer than eighty terrorists neutralized during the engagement. Additionally,
77
00:04:56,439 –> 00:04:59,920
the firefight was further reinforced by precision of close air
78
00:05:00,079 –> 00:05:04,199
support from the air component of Operation hadden Kai, complemented
79
00:05:04,199 –> 00:05:08,240
by rapid strike passes from Allied Nigerian air assets, which
80
00:05:08,279 –> 00:05:12,720
compounded the pressure on the fleeing insurgents. Exploitation of the
81
00:05:12,759 –> 00:05:16,079
engagement area led to the recovery of a substantial cache
82
00:05:16,079 –> 00:05:20,759
of weapons, ammunition and combat enablers, including fifty two AK
83
00:05:20,959 –> 00:05:25,959
forty seven rifles, eight PKT machine guns, seven RPG tws,
84
00:05:26,360 –> 00:05:31,480

of assorted seven point six two millimeters ammunition, twenty one
86
00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:42,040
RPG bombs, nine locally fabricated iedes. Nigeria military authority has
87
00:05:42,120 –> 00:05:45,480
placed the citizens and residents in the West Africa country
88
00:05:45,480 –> 00:05:48,399

00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:48,319
to inform the general public of suicide bomb explosions that
116
00:07:48,399 –> 00:07:51,800
occurred at about seven o five pm on Monday, the
117
00:07:51,839 –> 00:07:55,959

three different locations within the city, namely the post office area,

Maidaguri Teaching Hospital UMTH during the period of after breaking
123
00:08:18,800 –> 00:08:23,160
of fast. The cowardly attacks targeted crowded public areas in
124
00:08:23,199 –> 00:08:26,439
an attempt by the terrorists to inflict mass casualties and
125
00:08:26,519 –> 00:08:31,199
create panic within the metropolis. There may be no doubt
126
00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:34,639
that Iran is apparently giving the United States U S
127
00:08:34,679 –> 00:08:37,799
a tougher time at the Strait of Harmers, holding stronger
128
00:08:37,919 –> 00:08:40,840
none of its enemies and their allies will sell their
129
00:08:40,879 –> 00:08:43,559
ship through the Strait of Harmers, an action that has
130
00:08:43,639 –> 00:08:46,759
since made the U S President Donald Trump to make
131
00:08:46,840 –> 00:08:51,159
contradictory statements after the U S Army obviously failed in
132
00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:56,399
its intimidating military campaign and destruction of the Iran Naval base, airport,
133
00:08:56,480 –> 00:09:01,399
control tower, helicopter hangars, naval mind story, missile bunkers, and
134
00:09:01,480 –> 00:09:05,519
anti aircraft and ballistic missiles defence system, with a threat
135
00:09:05,559 –> 00:09:08,200
to destroy the oil lifeline of Iran at the Kak
136
00:09:08,320 –> 00:09:11,679
Island if Iran continued to block ship from sailing through
137
00:09:11,720 –> 00:09:14,399
the Strait of Hormus. But yet, as at the time
138
00:09:14,440 –> 00:09:17,679
of filing in this report, today Iran remains deviant to
139
00:09:17,840 –> 00:09:21,480
US threat, with close watches saying Iran may not fight
140
00:09:21,519 –> 00:09:24,639
a traditional normal naval war with the U S. Marines,
141
00:09:24,639 –> 00:09:27,240
who are currently on a high speed traveling from their
142
00:09:27,279 –> 00:09:30,440
base in Japan to the Strait of Hormus, of which
143
00:09:30,879 –> 00:09:33,960
over two thousand, five hundred of the US Marines and
144
00:09:34,080 –> 00:09:37,600
sailors have been redeployed and apparently drawn from the thirty
145
00:09:37,639 –> 00:09:42,639
first Marine Expeditionary Unit MEU, an elite rapid response force,
146
00:09:42,960 –> 00:09:46,080
and the Marines are traveling aboard an amphibious ready group
147
00:09:46,559 –> 00:09:50,759
arg led by the assault ship USS Tripoli LHA seven,
148
00:09:51,039 –> 00:09:53,759
an assault ship that can function as a lightning carrier,

00:10:00,879 –> 00:10:03,600
are expected to arrive the Strait of har Mars in
152
00:10:03,639 –> 00:10:07,240
a week or less than two weeks time, but currently
153
00:10:07,519 –> 00:10:11,159
close watch is said Iran is using deviant tactics like
154
00:10:11,279 –> 00:10:16,039
GPS jabbing, swarming drones and underwater mines to keep the U. S.
155
00:10:16,120 –> 00:10:19,000
Navy off balance, an action that may be the reason
156
00:10:19,039 –> 00:10:22,600
the U. S. President Donald Trump initially called on the
157
00:10:22,639 –> 00:10:27,240
international communities to help form an international naval coalition to
158
00:10:27,279 –> 00:10:31,279
reopen the Strait of Hormas, but some European countries like Germany,
159
00:10:31,720 –> 00:10:36,559
United Kingdom, France, Greece, Italy and the North Atlantic Treaty
160
00:10:36,639 –> 00:10:40,960
Organization NATO refused with some heads of the European countries
161
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:44,240
saying the war is not our war. Germany will not
162
00:10:44,279 –> 00:10:48,559
participate in any military activity in the Strait. Any plan
163
00:10:48,679 –> 00:10:51,480
to reopen the Strait won’t be a NATO mission, and
164
00:10:51,519 –> 00:10:54,600
that the UK will not be drawn into a wider war.
165
00:10:55,159 –> 00:10:58,639
No sending France warships to the region until the security
166
00:10:58,799 –> 00:11:03,639
situation stabilizes. Italy’s current naval missions would not be extended
167
00:11:03,679 –> 00:11:07,200
to the Strait. No Greece military engagement in the waterway.
168
00:11:07,600 –> 00:11:11,759
Following this, President Donald Trump, in a nationwide media chat
169
00:11:11,799 –> 00:11:16,559
on Monday, said US don’t need them, We don’t need anybody.
170
00:11:16,960 –> 00:11:19,480
We are the strongest nation in the world. We have
171
00:11:19,559 –> 00:11:21,720
the strongest. There may be no doubt that the year
172
00:11:21,759 –> 00:11:24,159
twenty twenty six may not be a year of good
173
00:11:24,240 –> 00:11:26,960
record for some men and women of the Armed Forces
174
00:11:26,960 –> 00:11:31,440
of Nigeria afn AS. Multiple reports and official statements have
175
00:11:31,559 –> 00:11:35,200
confirmed that some numbers of Nigeria soldiers have been killed
176
00:11:35,240 –> 00:11:39,360
by Islamic State of West Africa Province ICEWAP since the
177
00:11:39,399 –> 00:11:43,559
beginning of this year. Thus, the multiple reports suggest more
178
00:11:43,600 –> 00:11:46,720
than one hundred and eighty Nigeria soldiers may have been
179
00:11:46,799 –> 00:11:49,960
killed in just seventy three days into this new year
180
00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:53,639
twenty twenty six, which further indicated that an average of
181
00:11:53,679 –> 00:11:57,320
two to three soldiers are being killed daily in Nigeria
182
00:11:57,399 –> 00:12:00,600
by the ICEWAP terrorists, who appeared to have increased the
183
00:12:00,720 –> 00:12:05,480
daily offensive attacks on Nigeria soldiers since the US Israel
184
00:12:05,679 –> 00:12:09,759
joint war against Iran began on February twenty eighth, twenty
185
00:12:09,840 –> 00:12:14,080
twenty six. Although some close watchers accused the Nigeria military
186
00:12:14,159 –> 00:12:17,679
of always downplaying or reporting are very lower numbers of
187
00:12:17,759 –> 00:12:22,919
troops casualties, but the Nigeria Minister of Defense, General Christopher
188
00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:26,759
Musa stated and confirmed during the week after security chiefs
189
00:12:26,799 –> 00:12:30,039
held the meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tanubu at the
190
00:12:30,039 –> 00:12:33,879
Presidential Villa in Abuja, that the lots of Nigeria soldiers
191
00:12:33,960 –> 00:12:36,879
has been lost, but he insisted the contrary to some
192
00:12:37,039 –> 00:12:40,279
reports by the media, the terrorists and bandits are taking
193
00:12:40,320 –> 00:12:45,039
more casualties, specifically stating their commanders are being killed every day.
194
00:12:45,360 –> 00:12:48,360
We are sure of victory and some reports also suggest
195
00:12:48,360 –> 00:12:52,159
that the ICEWAP terrorists are increasingly using armed drones for
196
00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:55,919
asymmetric warfare and high end tech like night vision in
197
00:12:56,039 –> 00:12:59,919
recent attacks on military bases in Nigeria, with some foreign
198
00:13:00,399 –> 00:13:04,320
joining the Nigeria Ice SWAP fighters to launch a Ramadan
199
00:13:04,480 –> 00:13:09,799
campaign that saw ICEWAP overrunning some military bases in Conduga, manik,
200
00:13:10,039 –> 00:13:13,919
Jukana and Marte areas of Borno State, with local media
201
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:18,320
reports stating approximately forty soldiers were killed, while ICEWAP in
202
00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:21,200
a press release, claimed to have killed sixteen in the
203
00:13:21,240 –> 00:13:25,080
initial assault and another twenty in a subsequent suicide bombing.
204
00:13:25,440 –> 00:13:29,240
On March fourth, twenty twenty six, at least fourteen soldiers
205
00:13:29,279 –> 00:13:33,320
were reportedly killed during attacks on military bases in Ngosh
206
00:13:33,360 –> 00:13:37,639
and other parts of Borno State. Between February fifteenth and eighteen,
207
00:13:38,039 –> 00:13:42,279
twenty twenty six. Multiple reports confirmed eight soldiers were killed
208
00:13:42,320 –> 00:13:45,600
and twenty three injured at a base in Crosskauer in
209
00:13:45,639 –> 00:13:49,639
the Kakawa Local government area of Borno State. Another six
210
00:13:49,720 –> 00:13:54,000
soldiers were reportedly killed in buw Local government area. Earlier
211
00:13:54,039 –> 00:13:57,840
in January twenty twenty six, at least twenty soldiers were
212
00:13:57,919 –> 00:14:00,799
killed in an attack on a remote base in Fortori,
213
00:14:01,159 –> 00:14:03,919
and eight others were killed in a separate ambush earlier
214
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:08,440
in the month. This former Nigeria presidential candidate in the
215
00:14:08,519 –> 00:14:13,399
last concluded General Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanna, who has
216
00:14:13,440 –> 00:14:15,679
said that the State of Israel has a lot of
217
00:14:15,840 –> 00:14:18,480
organized plans of what yet to be done in Iran,
218
00:14:18,919 –> 00:14:22,279
specifically saying regarding what we will do next in Iran,
219
00:14:22,759 –> 00:14:26,320
we have an organized plan with many surprises to destabilize
220
00:14:26,360 –> 00:14:29,240
the regime and the naval change. We have many more
221
00:14:29,240 –> 00:14:33,120
targets and I will not detail them here. Benjamin Natannah,
222
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:37,200
who stated this on Saturday, a day before moch Taberkamane
223
00:14:37,559 –> 00:14:41,000
was officially and publicly announced as the irans new Supreme
224
00:14:41,120 –> 00:14:45,039
leader in Tehran’s Vanik Square on Sunday, with residents in
225
00:14:45,080 –> 00:14:49,000
Middle East reporting with videos that Iran unleashed some numbers
226
00:14:49,000 –> 00:14:53,039
of massive waves of fatter two hypersonic blind missiles straight
227
00:14:53,120 –> 00:14:56,639
at Israel. Shortly after the announcement of the Iran’s new
228
00:14:56,720 –> 00:15:01,039
Supreme leader, moach Taberkamanee, many believe to be much more
229
00:15:01,039 –> 00:15:05,360
aggressive than his father, Iatollah Ali Kamene. The announcement of
230
00:15:05,399 –> 00:15:08,639
the new Supreme leader was made known after days the
231
00:15:08,759 –> 00:15:11,720
U S President Donald Trump stated that the U S
232
00:15:11,759 –> 00:15:15,080
will have a complete control of Iran and determine its leadership,
233
00:15:15,360 –> 00:15:18,759
which in one of the occasions President Donald Trump stated
234
00:15:18,840 –> 00:15:22,240
verbat and that well, most of the people we had
235
00:15:22,279 –> 00:15:24,799
in mind are dead. We had some in mind from
236
00:15:24,799 –> 00:15:27,559
that group that is dead. Now we have another group.
237
00:15:27,919 –> 00:15:31,639
They may be dead also based Home reports this. The
238
00:15:31,720 –> 00:15:36,159
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a nationwide message to
239
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,519
the people of Israel on Saturday, as made available by
240
00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:42,879
the Office of the Prime Minister, said countries can now
241
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:46,960
see the hypocrisy of the United Nations u N following
242
00:15:46,960 –> 00:15:50,799
the U S Israel joint war against Iran, saying the
243
00:15:50,879 –> 00:15:53,120
war is changing the face of the Middle East, and
244
00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:57,320
in his words, Benjamin Netanyahu said, at the same time,
245
00:15:57,799 –> 00:16:01,080
we brought all of our hostages home, struck the centers
246
00:16:01,120 –> 00:16:04,320
of terrorism in Judea and Samaria, climbed to the peak
247
00:16:04,360 –> 00:16:08,159
of Mount Herman, and created buffer zones in Syria, Lebanon
248
00:16:08,360 –> 00:16:12,279
and Gaza. As I promised you two days after October seventh,
249
00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:14,960
we are changing the face of the Middle East. But
250
00:16:15,080 –> 00:16:18,320
we didn’t just change the Middle East. First and foremost,
251
00:16:18,600 –> 00:16:22,600
we changed ourselves, because after the great disaster of October seventh,
252
00:16:22,879 –> 00:16:26,159
I decided to leave a polar shift, powerful actions one
253
00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:30,799
after another, proactive and surprising actions, actions that dramatically change
254
00:16:30,840 –> 00:16:33,960
the balance of power between US and our enemies. The
255
00:16:34,039 –> 00:16:36,519
countries around us see the hypocrisy of the U N
256
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:40,320
which condemned us without reason in our just war against
257
00:16:40,360 –> 00:16:44,440
Iran’s murderous proxies in Gaza, yet that saying Yuen did
258
00:16:44,519 –> 00:16:47,200
nothing in the face of the mass sorter in Iran.
259
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:51,200
These countries which were attacked by Iran, see the weakness
260
00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:54,320
and feebleness of leaders in the West who simply abandoned
261
00:16:54,360 –> 00:16:57,639
them while come an Ay and his murderer’s sortid tens
262
00:16:57,639 –> 00:17:01,639
of thousands of Iranian citizens. Where Foreign Minister of Iran,
263
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:05,599
Abbess Arachi has said that Iranian soldiers are currently waiting
264
00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:09,960
for US ground troops to invade Iran, saying the Iranians
265
00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:13,720
are prepared for any scenario. According to Arachi, Iran is
266
00:17:13,799 –> 00:17:17,160
confident that its soldiers can confront U S grand troops
267
00:17:17,160 –> 00:17:20,720
and if the United States actually decided to begin ground
268
00:17:20,799 –> 00:17:23,640
troops of invasion in Iran, it will be a disaster
269
00:17:23,720 –> 00:17:26,799
for the US because we know we can handle them,
270
00:17:26,920 –> 00:17:30,640
adding Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing
271
00:17:30,680 –> 00:17:34,200
war with the US and Israel politically and otherwise. And
272
00:17:34,279 –> 00:17:37,200
shortly after the Iran Foreign Minister made this known in
273
00:17:37,279 –> 00:17:41,519
an exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday. The
274
00:17:41,680 –> 00:17:44,440
U S Secretary of War Pete Heeks has visited the
275
00:17:44,559 –> 00:17:48,319
U S Central Command SENTKAM headquarters at McDill Air Force
276
00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:51,880
Base in Tampa area of Florida, apparently for a high
277
00:17:52,000 –> 00:17:55,000
level briefing and next plan of action discussed with the
278
00:17:55,039 –> 00:18:00,000
SENTCAM commander, Admiral Bradcooper. This local media in Iran Red
279
00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:03,920
imported on Friday Mourning that the spokesperson for the Islamic
280
00:18:04,000 –> 00:18:10,079
Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, says
281
00:18:10,119 –> 00:18:12,920
the Iranian armed forces are ready for a long war
282
00:18:13,000 –> 00:18:17,160
to punish the aggressor. The war, which began last week Saturday,
283
00:18:17,559 –> 00:18:19,920
has led to the deaths of over one thousand, three
284
00:18:20,039 –> 00:18:23,240
hundred people in Iran, twelve in Israel, and six U

Israeli police, in an official police report, identified nine killed
306
00:19:48,359 –> 00:19:51,160
in Baite Schemesh, and have noted that a United States
307
00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:55,240
President Donald Trump, in a nationwide broadcast issued a few
308
00:19:55,279 –> 00:19:59,319
hours ago over the joint Israel US military actions in
309
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:03,119
the sovereign name Iran has said that many Iranian soldiers
310
00:20:03,119 –> 00:20:05,839
are willing to surrender in order to save their lives,
311
00:20:06,160 –> 00:20:09,799
but the offensive US Israel military war or combat on
312
00:20:09,880 –> 00:20:14,559
Iran continued, saying the joint military operations code named Operation
313
00:20:14,759 –> 00:20:18,599

persons have been killed so far in Israel, with estimated

five hundred people sustaining injuries, and the war has forced
321
00:20:46,079 –> 00:20:51,839
Iran to launch counter attacks on US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,
322
00:20:52,240 –> 00:20:57,079
and the United Arab Emirates UAE. This Iran foreign Minister
323

Abisharachi has said Iran will not surrend, stating that despite
324
00:21:02,039 –> 00:21:06,599
the massive air strikes on Tehran, Iran’s military capability remains intact,
325
00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:10,279
adding Iran was able to retaliate faster than it did
326
00:21:10,319 –> 00:21:13,960
in the twenty twenty five Twelve Day War, and that
327
00:21:14,079 –> 00:21:18,839
its mosaic defense doctrine makes it resilient to infrastructure damage.
328
00:21:19,279 –> 00:21:23,200
Rachi called the killing of Kamenei absolutely unprecedented and a
329
00:21:23,240 –> 00:21:26,960
major violation of international law, warning it had made the
330
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:32,039
conflict even more dangerous and more complicated, saying Kamenee was
331
00:21:32,079 –> 00:21:36,160
not only Iran’s political leader, but a high ranking religious
332
00:21:36,240 –> 00:21:40,119
leader for millions of Muslims even outside of Iran across
333
00:21:40,160 –> 00:21:43,400
the region, pointing to protests that had erupted in Iraq,
334
00:21:43,680 –> 00:21:47,160
Pakistan and elsewhere where the leader had followers. In line
335
00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:51,400
with this, Al Jazeera News media also reported some minutes
336
00:21:51,440 –> 00:21:55,160
ago that Iranian missiles have been seen over Tel Aviv
337
00:21:55,279 –> 00:22:00,079
and the occupied West Bank, reportedly breaking through Israel’s defens cis,
338
00:22:00,640 –> 00:22:04,920
with Iran saying it is targeting Israeli military facilities. In
339
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:09,599
the six minutes nationwide video broadcast, President Donald Trump called
340
00:22:09,599 –> 00:22:12,880
on members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to surrender their
341
00:22:12,880 –> 00:22:17,079
weapons or face certain deaths, saying the death of the
342
00:22:17,079 –> 00:22:20,359
three American soldiers killed in action will be avenged by
343
00:22:20,400 –> 00:22:25,200
taking more punishing actions against the enemies. President Donald Trump
344
00:22:25,319 –> 00:22:28,400
said there will likely be additional American deaths during the
345
00:22:28,440 –> 00:22:31,759
combat mission in Iran, which he said would continue until
346
00:22:31,839 –> 00:22:36,440
the US achieves its objectives. Combat operations continue at this
347
00:22:36,640 –> 00:22:40,119
time in full force, and they will continue until all
348
00:22:40,160 –> 00:22:43,599
The United States U S Government, under the leadership of
349
00:22:43,640 –> 00:22:47,079
President Donald Trump, has ordered its citizens out of Lebanon,
350
00:22:47,119 –> 00:22:50,880
with the non emergency citizens specially worn to avoid traveling
351
00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:54,319
to southern Lebanon. Although the U S Embassy in Beirut
352
00:22:54,440 –> 00:22:58,200
never mentioned Israel and Hesbala possible new war in the
353
00:22:58,240 –> 00:23:01,279
Middle East as the reason for its action, but there
354
00:23:01,319 –> 00:23:04,839
are strong indications that the America government took the decision
355
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:08,720
because of the possible military conflicts in the region. According
356
00:23:08,720 –> 00:23:11,440
to the U S Government, it do not want America’s
357
00:23:11,440 –> 00:23:16,799
citizens to travel to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping,
358
00:23:17,200 –> 00:23:21,440
unexploded land mines, and the risk of armed conflict, stating
359
00:23:21,519 –> 00:23:25,839
that some areas, especially near the borders, have increased risk.
360
00:23:26,240 –> 00:23:30,759
While information available on Monday indicated that Hesbelah is preparing
361
00:23:30,839 –> 00:23:35,160
to resume retaliatory strikes against Israel by rejecting the US
362
00:23:35,359 –> 00:23:39,839
cease fire deal, as Israel Defense Forces IDF continued their
363
00:23:39,799 –> 00:23:43,680
strikes on Beirut. This a joint press statement signed and
364
00:23:43,720 –> 00:23:47,440

League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
375
00:24:26,240 –> 00:24:29,200
described the current action of Israel in the Middle Easter
376
00:24:29,240 –> 00:24:33,599
as expansionist agenda. And also on Monday, the Israel Prime
377
00:24:33,640 –> 00:24:38,480
Minister Benjamin Letaniaho appears before Israeli lawmakers of the Knesset
378
00:24:38,599 –> 00:24:41,480
and said Israel don’t know what the days might be,
379
00:24:41,880 –> 00:24:45,119
but they are prepared for any scenario, adding if Iraan
380
00:24:45,160 –> 00:24:49,000
attack Israel, Israel will respond with the force Iranian government
381
00:24:49,039 –> 00:24:52,880
will never imagined. Also, Iran Observant News Media, in a
382
00:24:52,920 –> 00:24:56,839
twee published on Monday, stated that oil companies around the
383
00:24:56,920 –> 00:25:00,359
world the currently advising their staff not to track to
384
00:25:00,400 –> 00:25:06,400
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar unless
385
00:25:06,480 –> 00:25:10,519
absolutely necessary. It would be recalled that the conflict between
386
00:25:10,599 –> 00:25:14,400
Israel and Hesbala has historically involved two major wars which
387
00:25:14,400 –> 00:25:17,440
occurred in two thousand and six and twenty twenty four,
388
00:25:17,799 –> 00:25:20,640
and yet possible new war remains in a state of
389
00:25:20,720 –> 00:25:24,759
high tension characterized by a fragile ceasefire and ongoing military
390
00:25:24,799 –> 00:25:29,759
operations in February twenty twenty six. The Middle East Region
391
00:25:29,799 –> 00:25:32,880
is current Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of the
392
00:25:32,920 –> 00:25:37,240
Inspector General of Police IGP. Car Yode egg Beetoken has
393
00:25:37,319 –> 00:25:40,680
kept months since her video went viral on social media
394
00:25:40,720 –> 00:25:45,759
platforms wherein allegation of bringing people illegally to settle inside
395
00:25:45,839 –> 00:25:49,880
forest in Edo State was made against the Divisional Police Officer.
396
00:25:50,240 –> 00:25:53,440
The DPO WU is currently serving at the Divisional Police
397
00:25:53,480 –> 00:25:58,000
Headquarters at Oboha community in the Essen Southeast Local government
398
00:25:58,079 –> 00:26:01,559
area in the state a stated have witnessed rampant cases
399
00:26:01,559 –> 00:26:05,279
of kidnappings in recent time, especially since the beginning of
400
00:26:05,319 –> 00:26:08,319
this year, despite the fact that the Edo State Governor,
401
00:26:08,759 –> 00:26:13,039
Monday Ocapolo, has executed the destruction of numbers of houses
402
00:26:13,160 –> 00:26:16,920
or properties of apparent innocent landlords or people who may
403
00:26:16,960 –> 00:26:20,000
not have direct connection with the crime. It may be
404
00:26:20,039 –> 00:26:23,599
recalled the early twenty twenty five, the governor demolished a
405
00:26:23,640 –> 00:26:27,599
residential property on College Roads simply because it was linked
406
00:26:27,640 –> 00:26:31,559
to a kidnapping gang operating in the Aduawa Eyan and
407
00:26:31,640 –> 00:26:35,559
benin Auchi rode bypass axis, even when the building belonged
408
00:26:35,599 –> 00:26:38,680
to a woman based in Italy, just that her brother,
409
00:26:39,000 –> 00:26:43,240
Ossamede Assimota, the alleged key leader of the gang, allegedly
410
00:26:43,319 –> 00:26:46,359
used it to coordinate abductions. This is just one of
411
00:26:46,519 –> 00:26:50,559
many properties demolished by the Edo State government over kidnapping
412
00:26:50,599 –> 00:26:54,160
in the state. Yet records of kidnappings in the state
413
00:26:54,240 –> 00:26:57,960
continued to grow higher, and recent police and military arrests
414
00:26:58,000 –> 00:27:01,160
indicated that Edo’s state is for per perhaps under siege
415
00:27:01,240 –> 00:27:04,880
of foreign invaders who may have taken over larger part
416
00:27:05,000 –> 00:27:07,920
of the state forest to co ordinate kidnappings in the
417
00:27:08,000 –> 00:27:10,880
state while working with some of the local residents to
418
00:27:10,880 –> 00:27:14,240
perpetuate the criminal act. It may be interesting to note
419
00:27:14,240 –> 00:27:17,640
that another set of non indigens of the state arrested
420
00:27:17,680 –> 00:27:21,640
by the police recently included two persons caught inside the
421
00:27:21,640 –> 00:27:25,039
Specialist Hospital in Auchi. The two suspects, who were said
422
00:27:25,079 –> 00:27:27,480
to be non indigenes of the state, were among the
423
00:27:27,559 –> 00:27:31,559
gang of kidnappers behind the abduction of doctor Abu Babatun Day,
424
00:27:31,680 –> 00:27:35,440
who regained his freedom after his family reportedly paid a
425
00:27:35,519 –> 00:27:39,119
sum of fifty million nairas ransom. After the doctor and
426
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:43,160
his younger brother were abducted on January second, twenty twenty
427
00:27:43,200 –> 00:27:46,079
six while opening the gate to their residence the Long
428
00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:51,160
City Pride Road, Higbia, camp Auchi and unfortunately, the younger
429
00:27:51,200 –> 00:27:54,480
brother was later found dead on January fifth near the
430
00:27:54,519 –> 00:27:58,319
Auley River, Long City Pride Road, with police suspecting he
431
00:27:58,440 –> 00:28:01,880
was killed by the abductors. And the alleged illegal settlers
432
00:28:01,920 –> 00:28:06,079
who confessed the Ugohadipo as their facilitator, are said to
433
00:28:06,079 –> 00:28:10,039
be non Nigerians from foreign countries. According to one of
434
00:28:10,079 –> 00:28:13,799
the vigilantes who court the illegal settlers, the arrested illegal
435
00:28:13,839 –> 00:28:16,319
settlers in the forest will be taken to the station.
436
00:28:17,200 –> 00:28:20,839
The vigilante member also said the illegal settlers. Day after,
437
00:28:20,880 –> 00:28:25,279
the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, personally led
438
00:28:25,279 –> 00:28:28,119
troops of joint security operatives at the dead of the
439
00:28:28,240 –> 00:28:31,759
night to launch offensive attacks against kidnappers in the forest.
440
00:28:32,240 –> 00:28:37,279
The Commander four Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General rmeb. Balaguan,
441
00:28:37,440 –> 00:28:41,039
also personally led troops of joint security operatives to the
442
00:28:41,119 –> 00:28:45,920
kidnappers hideouts and launched massive military clearance and offensive actions
443
00:28:45,960 –> 00:28:49,880
against kidnappers. Both security operations led to the arrest of
444
00:28:49,960 –> 00:28:54,559
several suspected kidnappers allegedly caught in the act inside the bush,
445
00:28:54,839 –> 00:28:58,400
with the identities of the arrested suspects indicating that most
446
00:28:58,440 –> 00:29:01,559
of the kidnappers terrorizers Edo’s stat are from the far
447
00:29:01,680 –> 00:29:05,559
northern part of Nigeria, an observation which appeared to have
448
00:29:05,680 –> 00:29:09,920
challenged the public policy statement made earlier in January twenty
449
00:29:09,960 –> 00:29:13,839
twenty six by the Edo State Governor, Monday ok Capolo,
450
00:29:13,920 –> 00:29:16,960
who stated that many of those involved in the kidnapping
451
00:29:17,039 –> 00:29:19,839
surge in Edo’s stat are in the genes of the area,
452
00:29:20,319 –> 00:29:24,039
saying that maybe the reason some kidnappers wear space masks.
453
00:29:24,240 –> 00:29:26,960
The governor made this statement as kidnapping in the state
454
00:29:27,000 –> 00:29:29,839
appeared to have become worse in twenty twenty six and
455
00:29:29,960 –> 00:29:33,000
very rampant, in a manner that indicated that an average
456
00:29:33,039 –> 00:29:35,960
of one to two persons of being kidnapped in a
457
00:29:36,079 –> 00:29:39,559
day in Edo’s state, as more than sixty persons became
458
00:29:39,720 –> 00:29:43,279
new victims of the increasing criminal activities in the state
459
00:29:43,440 –> 00:29:47,759
since the beginning of twenty twenty six. Like in January second,
460
00:29:47,799 –> 00:29:52,000
twenty twenty six, two brothers doctor Abu Ibrahem babbitton Day,
461
00:29:52,359 –> 00:29:56,359
a medical doctor on housemanship, and Abu Tahir, a fresh graduate,
462
00:29:56,359 –> 00:29:59,039
were kidnapped at the gate of their residence along City
463
00:29:59,119 –> 00:30:03,839
Pride Road, Igbira, Cambinouchi. The kidnappers initially demanded the two
464
00:30:03,960 –> 00:30:08,440
hundred million niras ransom and tragically, on January fifth, one
465
00:30:08,480 –> 00:30:11,720
of the two brothers was found dead. On January ninth,
466
00:30:11,799 –> 00:30:15,440
twenty twenty six, eight indigenes of a Moga community in
467
00:30:15,519 –> 00:30:19,799
the Arcoco Edolocal government area of the state were abducted
468
00:30:19,839 –> 00:30:23,039
from a hotel along a Billow road. Since the start
469
00:30:23,079 –> 00:30:27,119
of twenty twenty six, Edo State has experienced a significant
470
00:30:27,160 –> 00:30:31,440
surge in kidnappings, leading to widespread protests at Dicpoma in
471
00:30:31,480 –> 00:30:36,200
the Edo Central Sanatorial Zone, with multiple police rescue operations,
472
00:30:36,240 –> 00:30:41,000
including the incidents reported early February twenty twenty six where
473
00:30:41,039 –> 00:30:45,039
police rescued nine victims including five children, and a separate
474
00:30:45,079 –> 00:30:49,359
group of fourteen victims. This is that earlier on January
475
00:30:49,400 –> 00:30:53,640
twenty second, twenty twenty six, a farmer named Monday Adero
476
00:30:53,839 –> 00:30:57,880
was kidnapped and later rescued, and in late January, another farmer,
477
00:30:58,079 –> 00:31:01,519
Abraham Bogwa and his two wife Brinda and Anna, were
478
00:31:01,519 –> 00:31:07,000
abducted from Aguro Amende community but successfully rescued by security forces.
479
00:31:07,400 –> 00:31:10,359
In mid January, a Ke Favour and the former in
480
00:31:10,440 –> 00:31:13,960
this write up a legal practitioner in Joku Dude in
481
00:31:14,079 –> 00:31:18,359
Joku pinpoints and fundamentals in the judgment passed against Marzi
482
00:31:18,480 –> 00:31:22,960
Namdi Kanu by Justice James Amitosho which convicted and sentenced
483
00:31:23,000 –> 00:31:27,079
the Bafra Republic agitation leader to life imprisonment, and in
484
00:31:27,119 –> 00:31:30,480
this press release the legal practitioner issued in late twenty
485
00:31:30,559 –> 00:31:34,680
twenty five entitled the twenty fourth of November twenty twenty five,
486
00:31:35,160 –> 00:31:39,400
The day evidence ceased to matter in Nigerian courts. Judicial silence,
487
00:31:39,680 –> 00:31:45,279
selective justice and media complicity described Justice Armitosho as unprofessional,
488
00:31:45,720 –> 00:31:49,480
stating that the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered
489
00:31:49,519 –> 00:31:52,839
by Justice James k Omatosho is not merely that it
490
00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:55,599
reached a fore ordained conclusion, but that it did so
491
00:31:55,720 –> 00:31:59,680
by deliberately suppressing evidence he already admitted on record in
492
00:31:59,720 –> 00:32:04,359
his own court, thereby converting a judication into a procedural facade.
493
00:32:04,640 –> 00:32:06,839
This was not an error of law or an oversight
494
00:32:06,920 –> 00:32:10,359
of fact. It was a calculated refusal to engage with
495
00:32:10,480 –> 00:32:15,599
material evidence whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution’s narrative.
496
00:32:16,000 –> 00:32:19,599
And paising that this case is no longer about one man,
497
00:32:20,039 –> 00:32:23,759
It is about whether courts may openly disregard admitted evidence
498
00:32:23,799 –> 00:32:26,960
and still be treated as legitimate, and whether the media
499
00:32:27,000 –> 00:32:30,920
will continue to mask such conduct through silence. A judiciary
500
00:32:30,920 –> 00:32:34,400
that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased to function
501
00:32:34,519 –> 00:32:37,119
as a court of law. A media that refuses to
502
00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:41,720
question that silence has abdicated its public duty. Together they
503
00:32:41,759 –> 00:32:46,240
place the rule of law itself in existential peril. Continuing
504
00:32:46,599 –> 00:32:50,720
in details, in Joku said once evidence is admitted, it
505
00:32:50,799 –> 00:32:56,359
binds the judge absolutely. The conduct, protest, silence, or alleged
506
00:32:56,400 –> 00:32:59,920
boycott of the defendant Marzi Namdi Kanno is legally a
507
00:33:00,079 –> 00:33:04,319
relevant to that obligation. Judgment writing is not a negotiation
508
00:33:04,480 –> 00:33:08,000
with the accused. It is a solitary judicial duty anchored
509
00:33:08,039 –> 00:33:13,000
exclusively to the evidentiary record. A judge may reject defense evidence,
510
00:33:13,279 –> 00:33:16,799
but he must first confront it, evaluate it, and explain
511
00:33:16,880 –> 00:33:22,119
why it is rejected. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is suppression.
512
00:33:22,400 –> 00:33:26,759
Had Justice homitoshe evaluated the admitted video exhibit of Theophilis
513
00:33:26,920 –> 00:33:30,440
t y Danjuma, he would have been confronted with the
514
00:33:30,480 –> 00:33:34,720
inescapable reality that public calls for communities to arm themselves
515
00:33:34,720 –> 00:33:38,119
in self defense against murderous violence were not unique to
516
00:33:38,200 –> 00:33:42,799
Namdi Krnu nor criminalized when made by powerful establishment figures.
517
00:33:43,559 –> 00:33:46,720
Proper evaluation would have compelled the court to accept that
518
00:33:46,839 –> 00:33:50,200
Carnu’s calls for guns and bullets in Los Angeles, USA
519
00:33:50,519 –> 00:33:54,319
or during broadcasts were framed as community self defense against
