1
00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I am really shocked by the way some unpatriotic Nigerians

2
00:00:03,560 –> 00:00:07,440
have gone on social media misrepresenting Isho Speed’s visit to

3
00:00:07,519 –> 00:00:10,359
Nigeria and using it to project a negative image of

4
00:00:10,439 –> 00:00:13,679
their very own country while attempting to spoil what was

5
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:17,679
a good narrative of a very successful visit. First of all,

6
00:00:18,079 –> 00:00:21,480
Isho Speed never said or implied that Nigeria is Smelli.

7
00:00:22,199 –> 00:00:25,800
The young man perhaps achieved his most successful stream during

8
00:00:25,839 –> 00:00:29,679
his African tour in Nigeria, reaching a milestone of fifty

9
00:00:29,719 –> 00:00:34,159
million YouTube subscribers whilst in our dearly beloved country. He

10
00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:37,560
is the first black streamer to achieve that milestone, and

11
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:42,079
it occurred in Nigeria, boosted by Nigerian subscribers appreciative of

12
00:00:42,079 –> 00:00:46,640
his visit. What these few unpatriotic Nigerians who have a

13
00:00:46,679 –> 00:00:50,320
grudge against their own country fed by a separatist agenda,

14
00:00:50,719 –> 00:00:53,399
have done is take a screenshot of a particular stream

15
00:00:53,479 –> 00:00:57,119
where mister Darren Jason Watkins Junior made of face for

16
00:00:57,159 –> 00:00:59,719
a few seconds, which he often does all over the

17
00:00:59,759 –> 00:01:04,560
world world. Upon citing something interesting and peculiar using that

18
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,239
snap shot, they painted a false narrative claiming that Legos

19
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:12,159
is Smellian, but Darren Jason Watkins Junior aka is Show

20
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,359
Speed did not enjoy his time there and found nothing

21
00:01:15,439 –> 00:01:19,920
interesting or cultural to do. Sadly, their claims have gone

22
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:23,719
wildly viral. In fact, as evidenced by his streams and

23
00:01:23,799 –> 00:01:27,840
media coverage, Isho Speed had perhaps the most eventful moments

24
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,120
of his speed As Africa tour in Nigeria, which is

25
00:01:31,120 –> 00:01:33,879
why he chose to spend his twenty first birthday in

26
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,519
our country. He drew his biggest crowds here and was

27
00:01:37,519 –> 00:01:40,959
so impressed by that that he testified about it. He

28
00:01:41,040 –> 00:01:45,959
had gastronomical and cultural experiences, including visiting Freedom Park and

29
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:51,480
eating the world famous Nigerian Joloff rice, which he raved about. Thereafter,

30
00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:55,079
he had a belated Debty December moment by interacting with

31
00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:58,760
street dances in a carnival like manner and had intermittent

32
00:01:58,840 –> 00:02:02,840
encounters and conversation with street performers, including a man whose

33
00:02:02,879 –> 00:02:06,439
physical strength he celebrated after attempting and failing to match

34
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:11,360
his iron bending skills. Isho Speed also enjoyed Nigerian cature

35
00:02:11,439 –> 00:02:14,599
when he got to wear the special Nigerian hat known

36
00:02:14,639 –> 00:02:17,759
as a Feeler, made in Nigeria, from entirely from maid

37
00:02:17,879 –> 00:02:22,479
in Nigeria fabric, something that I have been promoting worldwide.

38
00:02:22,919 –> 00:02:26,599
His decision to blend in culturally with Nigerians through fashion

39
00:02:26,680 –> 00:02:29,479
made him so excited that he asked street vendors and

40
00:02:29,560 –> 00:02:34,560
onlookers whether he looked Nigerian. And on his twenty first birthday,

41
00:02:34,879 –> 00:02:38,919
Isho Speed was surrounded by school children in their school uniforms,

42
00:02:38,960 –> 00:02:42,439
singing the famous Happy Birthday song to him, almost bringing

43
00:02:42,520 –> 00:02:46,680
him to tears. At Freedom Park, Isho Speed interacted with

44
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:51,240
various Lagos street performers who taught the quick Laabu Bachhar Malami,

45
00:02:51,599 –> 00:02:54,520
a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the

46
00:02:54,520 –> 00:02:58,000
Federation who was in office from November twenty fifteen till

47
00:02:58,120 –> 00:03:01,360
May twenty twenty three, when the day then President Mohammadu

48
00:03:01,439 –> 00:03:05,240
Buhari completed his eight years tenure in office, under which

49
00:03:05,680 –> 00:03:10,599
courts of competent jurisdiction granted several detained Nigerian’s bail, but

50
00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:14,039
the Buhari government refused to release them and even re

51
00:03:14,159 –> 00:03:17,879
arrested some of them after they had perfected their bail conditions.

52
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:21,840
The then Minister of Justice, Abubakhar Malami, who was saddled

53
00:03:21,879 –> 00:03:25,919
with the responsibility of protecting citizens rights came out openly

54
00:03:25,960 –> 00:03:29,599
and apparently justified the violations of court orders by the

55
00:03:29,599 –> 00:03:33,719
then Buhari led government and during the administration of President

56
00:03:33,759 –> 00:03:38,639
Mohammadu Buhari, Abu Bakar Malami frequently defended the actions of

57
00:03:38,680 –> 00:03:42,199
the government’s refusal to obey court’s orders of bail granted

58
00:03:42,240 –> 00:03:46,520
to high profile individuals by asserting that national security and

59
00:03:46,599 –> 00:03:50,960
public interest superseded individual rights. Some of the high profile

60
00:03:51,039 –> 00:03:56,000
individuals included Colonel Sambo Dusuki, the former National Security adviser

61
00:03:56,120 –> 00:03:59,159
in the era of President good Luck ableet Jonathan, who

62
00:03:59,240 –> 00:04:02,280
was held for foe four years from December twenty fifteen

63
00:04:02,360 –> 00:04:06,280
to December twenty nineteen. Despite being granted bail by at

64
00:04:06,360 –> 00:04:09,879
least four different Nigerian high courts and the echo As Court,

65
00:04:10,240 –> 00:04:13,159
he was repeatedly re arrested by the Department of State

66
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:19,560
Services the SS immediately after fulfilling bail conditions. Shikerbrahimel Zakaki

67
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:23,639
and his wife Zina detained from December twenty fifteen until

68
00:04:23,759 –> 00:04:27,240
they were released in July twenty twenty one. Were refused

69
00:04:27,319 –> 00:04:31,319
bail after federal court declared the detention illegal. In twenty

70
00:04:31,399 –> 00:04:35,480
sixteen and awardered their release by January twenty seventeen, but

71
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:39,240
the government under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister

72
00:04:39,360 –> 00:04:42,759
did not comply until they were eventually acquitted of all

73
00:04:42,879 –> 00:04:47,120
charges by a Kaduna State High Court in twenty twenty one. Also,

74
00:04:47,560 –> 00:04:50,959
Armiele Saware, an activist and a journalist who is the

75
00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:54,680
founder of Sahara a Reporters News Media, remained in DSS

76
00:04:54,680 –> 00:04:58,639
custody for several months in twenty nineteen. Despite fulfilling bail

77
00:04:58,759 –> 00:05:02,079
conditions set by Joe Ustae Hijeya Marijuku. He was re

78
00:05:02,240 –> 00:05:05,240
arrested within the court room just twenty four hours after

79
00:05:05,279 –> 00:05:10,040
a temporary release. Nandi Karu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous

80
00:05:10,079 –> 00:05:14,360
People of Biafra IPOB leader, was refused bail during his

81
00:05:14,439 –> 00:05:19,120
initial trial in twenty fifteen. President Buhari then publicly stated

82
00:05:19,240 –> 00:05:22,360
during a media chat that Karnu, among others, would not

83
00:05:22,399 –> 00:05:25,240
be allowed to go on bail due to the nature

84
00:05:25,360 –> 00:05:29,560
of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings. In addition, was

85
00:05:29,680 –> 00:05:32,639
Navy Captain Dadar La Binjo, who was detained by the

86
00:05:32,759 –> 00:05:36,680
Nigeria military from September twenty eighteen until at least late

87
00:05:36,759 –> 00:05:41,279
twenty nineteen, despite a Federal High Court order, Nigeria Military

88
00:05:41,319 –> 00:05:44,439
authority has confirmed the death of five soldiers and one

89
00:05:44,480 –> 00:05:48,000
police officer in an ambush launched by terrorists on Monday

90
00:05:48,040 –> 00:05:51,879
at Giddenwagni area of Zamfara State. The incident may be

91
00:05:51,959 –> 00:05:55,360
a reminder of incessant cases of high rates of Nigeria

92
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:59,759
losing its soldiers and other security operatives in ambush, especially

93
00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:02,839
as observed as a worsening situation in the year twenty

94
00:06:02,920 –> 00:06:06,120
twenty five, with the ambush of army barracks and killing

95
00:06:06,160 –> 00:06:09,600
of the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN

96
00:06:09,639 –> 00:06:12,839
by terrorists in large number began as early as January

97
00:06:12,879 –> 00:06:16,639
twenty twenty five. It may be recalled that in January

98
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:20,199
twenty twenty five, terrorists launched an attack on the one

99
00:06:20,279 –> 00:06:24,279
hundred and forty nine Battalion in Malam Forturi, Borno State,

100
00:06:24,639 –> 00:06:28,079
leading to the killing of over twenty military personnel, including

101
00:06:28,120 –> 00:06:32,439
a battalion commander and senior offices. Within the first quarter.

102
00:06:32,879 –> 00:06:35,639
A careful review of news reports showed that more than

103
00:06:35,680 –> 00:06:39,160
one hundred Nigeria soldiers were reportedly killed in the first

104
00:06:39,240 –> 00:06:43,040
quarter of twenty twenty five by terrorists, mostly in ambush.

105
00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:47,759
In June twenty twenty five, terrorists attacks on three army

106
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:51,360
bases in central and northwestern Nigeria resulted in the killing

107
00:06:51,399 –> 00:06:56,000
of at least seventeen soldiers, and in September twenty twenty five,

108
00:06:56,399 –> 00:06:59,720
a major ambush on the Barga Meidaguri road was reported

109
00:07:00,120 –> 00:07:02,920
where at least forty soldiers were killed and sixty five

110
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:07,319
went missing, while in October twenty twenty five, at least

111
00:07:07,360 –> 00:07:10,240
four soldiers were killed in the Boco Haram ambush in

112
00:07:10,319 –> 00:07:14,319
Buno State, while another encounter in Campche resulted in one

113
00:07:14,319 –> 00:07:18,279
soldier killed, and by November twenty twenty five, the Nigerian

114
00:07:18,399 –> 00:07:21,480
Army confirmed the death of Brigadier General Musa Uber and

115
00:07:21,519 –> 00:07:25,279
two other soldiers following an ambush by is w AP

116
00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:29,399
terrorists near Wijeroco town in Borno State, which some local

117
00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:33,079
media reported that several soldiers were killed during the ambush.

118
00:07:33,399 –> 00:07:36,000
Even some of the local media stated that those who

119
00:07:36,120 –> 00:07:39,240
escaped the ambush, like the Brigadier general, were traced and

120
00:07:39,319 –> 00:07:42,680
killed by the terrorists, apparently after hours of no rescue

121
00:07:42,800 –> 00:07:47,639
or prompt reinforcement by the Nigeria military authority. According to

122
00:07:47,680 –> 00:07:52,800
Captain David Adoorssi, the Media Information Officer of Operation Pansa Yama,

123
00:07:53,279 –> 00:07:56,000
the five soldiers and the police officer were killed while

124
00:07:56,000 –> 00:07:59,519
the troops were returning from a successful operation and responding

125
00:07:59,560 –> 00:08:01,959
to a disc stress call of terrorists attack in a

126
00:08:01,959 –> 00:08:07,600
community in Zamfara State. In his words, Captain David adals said,

127
00:08:08,040 –> 00:08:13,040
troops of Operation Fansan Yama opf Y joined Task Force

128
00:08:13,160 –> 00:08:19,120
Northwest have demonstrated exceptional bravery, professionalism and resilience following a

129
00:08:19,199 –> 00:08:22,600
terrorist ambush along the Bingi keken Wadge Gussar Road in

130
00:08:22,720 –> 00:08:26,360
Zamfara State on the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six.

131
00:08:27,160 –> 00:08:30,839
The ambush followed a series of successful offense. Peter Obi,

132
00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:34,840
the former Nambra State governor and last presidential candidate of

133
00:08:34,879 –> 00:08:38,960
the Labour Party in the Nigeria twenty twenty three general elections,

134
00:08:39,000 –> 00:08:42,240
has insisted that the three brothers among the twelve persons

135
00:08:42,279 –> 00:08:44,759
that died as a result of fire that engulfed the

136
00:08:44,799 –> 00:08:49,039
twenty five story building of Great Nigeria Insurance House Plaza

137
00:08:49,159 –> 00:08:53,200
at Balagoon Market in Lagos Island on Christmas Eve. Called

138
00:08:53,240 –> 00:08:56,360
for help for days with no emergency response. From the

139
00:08:56,399 –> 00:09:00,519
government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed To nu Ubu,

140
00:09:00,720 –> 00:09:04,399
saying the three siblings mister stephen On yeko Omer two

141
00:09:04,440 –> 00:09:08,799
aged forty, Mister Kasmir Nabukomer two aged thirty nine and

142
00:09:08,879 –> 00:09:13,399
mister Collins Kenechukuoma two aged thirty seven, for days sent

143
00:09:13,679 –> 00:09:17,000
distressing pleas for help while trapped in the building, yet

144
00:09:17,039 –> 00:09:20,720
there were no emergency services to rescue them. Several days

145
00:09:20,759 –> 00:09:24,039
passed in the rubble before their bodies were finally recovered.

146
00:09:24,399 –> 00:09:27,879
Several days of unanswered calls of a system that failed

147
00:09:27,879 –> 00:09:30,919
and at the moment they needed it most. Peter Obi

148
00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:34,399
made this statement after attending the burial ceremony of the

149
00:09:34,440 –> 00:09:39,080
three siblings held at Uzoqua community in Ihiala Local Government

150
00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:43,320
Area of Anambra State on Wednesday. After Legos State Government,

151
00:09:43,399 –> 00:09:48,039
through the Office of the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Glengoromatoso,

152
00:09:48,159 –> 00:09:51,960
in a statement issued on January first, twenty twenty six,

153
00:09:52,080 –> 00:09:55,120
stated that as soon as the fire alarm was received

154
00:09:55,159 –> 00:09:58,600
on the day, the government deployed teams of first responders

155
00:09:58,639 –> 00:10:02,360
to the scene, including the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service,

156
00:10:02,799 –> 00:10:08,440
Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Legos State Ambulance services, security

157
00:10:08,480 –> 00:10:12,919
agencies and other emergency and safety units. But this statement

158
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:15,600
from the Lagos State government appears not to be in

159
00:10:15,679 –> 00:10:19,000
line with an eyewitness account. A resident who spoke with

160
00:10:19,120 –> 00:10:22,279
News Central Television at the scene of the fire incident

161
00:10:22,320 –> 00:10:24,799
that a phone call was made across to a fire

162
00:10:24,919 –> 00:10:28,639
service in Lagos State, but the fire service demanded thirty

163
00:10:28,720 –> 00:10:32,600
million niers service fee before the fire service would respond

164
00:10:32,639 –> 00:10:36,120
to the emergency issue this The resident added that if

165
00:10:36,159 –> 00:10:39,799
the fire service had responded on time, the entire building

166
00:10:39,799 –> 00:10:42,919
would have been saved, probably with no life lost, because

167
00:10:42,960 –> 00:10:45,480
the fire was only at a single floor when the

168
00:10:45,519 –> 00:10:50,159
fire service was called. According to Punch newspaper, the three

169
00:10:50,200 –> 00:10:54,000
siblings died after being trapped inside the burning high rise

170
00:10:54,039 –> 00:10:57,759
building in Lagos, an incident that shocked residents and reignited

171
00:10:57,840 –> 00:11:00,960
concerns over fire safety and emergence and see response in

172
00:11:01,039 –> 00:11:05,320
the country. According to family sources, the intensity of the

173
00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:09,600
inferno made rescue efforts impossible and only ashes were recovered

174
00:11:09,639 –> 00:11:14,120
for burial. The burial brought grief and sorrow to Ihyala community,

175
00:11:14,519 –> 00:11:17,639
with residents praying that their souls find rest and that

176
00:11:17,679 –> 00:11:21,200
their family find strength to pass through the Inspector General

177
00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:25,679
of Police IGP, car Yode Eggbetoken. For days now has

178
00:11:25,759 –> 00:11:29,080
refused to speak or deliberately kept mum after a well

179
00:11:29,120 –> 00:11:33,279
known founder of a private organization, Harrison Gawmershu, who have

180
00:11:33,399 –> 00:11:38,279
been assisting Nigeria’s security operatives with credible and reliable intelligence

181
00:11:38,360 –> 00:11:40,960
information that have led to the killing and arrest of

182
00:11:41,039 –> 00:11:45,159
several kidnappers. In a video statement on Saturday, revealed the

183
00:11:45,240 –> 00:11:49,159
complicit of the Nigeria Police Force in aiding and trying

184
00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:52,679
to cover up a reasonable suspect behind the kidnapping of

185
00:11:52,759 –> 00:11:55,919
a couple in the late days of November twenty twenty

186
00:11:55,960 –> 00:11:59,799
five at Avili community in the Etxico West Local Government

187
00:11:59,879 –> 00:12:03,399
d of Edo State, and the reasonable suspect happened to

188
00:12:03,480 –> 00:12:06,000
be the younger brother of the man who was kidnapped

189
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:10,000
alongside his wife, which the kidnappers only set free the

190
00:12:10,039 –> 00:12:13,600
wife after a sting operational ransom money of twenty million

191
00:12:13,679 –> 00:12:17,240
nyers was given to the kidnappers, with the reasonable suspect

192
00:12:17,399 –> 00:12:20,919
fully aware of all arrangements of the top secret security

193
00:12:20,960 –> 00:12:24,679
plans of Harrison Guamashue, but decided to make the sensitive

194
00:12:24,759 –> 00:12:28,720
security information public even when his elder brother is still

195
00:12:28,799 –> 00:12:32,240
held captive by the kidnappers. The Reasonable Suspect, in a

196
00:12:32,320 –> 00:12:35,879
TikTok video live streaming, admitted that he was actually among

197
00:12:35,919 –> 00:12:39,519
the people arrested by soldiers over an issue he the

198
00:12:39,559 –> 00:12:43,720
Reasonable Suspect refused to state. The Reasonable Suspect, among others,

199
00:12:43,799 –> 00:12:46,720
were handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for the

200
00:12:46,759 –> 00:12:52,799
continuation of investigation and possible prosecution, but according to Harrison Guamoshue,

201
00:12:53,080 –> 00:12:56,759
immediately police noticed he was able to recognize the Reasonable

202
00:12:56,840 –> 00:12:59,600
Suspect as a family member who was aware of his

203
00:12:59,600 –> 00:13:02,639
secure plans and he was also the one that helped

204
00:13:02,639 –> 00:13:05,399
deliver the money to the kidnappers in the bush. An

205
00:13:05,519 –> 00:13:09,200
order within the police authority came and the Reasonable Suspect

206
00:13:09,279 –> 00:13:13,000
was set free immediately, while others arrested alongside the Reasonable

207
00:13:13,120 –> 00:13:17,240
Suspect were remanded to prison. That aside, Harrison Guamashue, in

208
00:13:17,279 –> 00:13:22,159
an exclusive interview with TVC television station made available to

209
00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:26,320
the public by the broadcast media on Sunday night, indicated

210
00:13:26,320 –> 00:13:29,960
that the Nigeria Police Force had all the opportunities and

211
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:34,320
chances to rescue the remaining kidnapped victims, but the police

212
00:13:34,360 –> 00:13:37,600
deliberately refused to go into the Bush with the police

213
00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:41,039
saying that the kind of intelligence information he had provided

214
00:13:41,159 –> 00:13:45,240
is an archaic style of intelligence gathering. This, according to

215
00:13:45,279 –> 00:13:49,120
Harrison Guamashue, forced him to show the police video evidences

216
00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:53,279
of how his style of intelligence has aided successful offensive

217
00:13:53,360 –> 00:13:58,279
operation against kidnappers, but all his explanations went on darias

218
00:13:58,799 –> 00:14:02,000
even when for days the tracking devices he added to

219
00:14:02,039 –> 00:14:04,879
the special money he mixed with the original money given

220
00:14:04,919 –> 00:14:08,000
to the kidnappers as ransom was still showing the exact

221
00:14:08,039 –> 00:14:11,720
location of the kidnappers and others used. Harrison Guamoshue the

222
00:14:11,759 –> 00:14:16,200
founder of a registered private organization assisting the Nigeria security

223
00:14:16,240 –> 00:14:20,039
operatives with credible and reliable intelligence information that have led

224
00:14:20,080 –> 00:14:22,679
to the killing and arrest of several kidnappers in the

225
00:14:22,679 –> 00:14:27,039
West Africa country, especially in the South South geopolitical zone

226
00:14:27,080 –> 00:14:30,480
of Edo and Delta States. In a video statement issued

227
00:14:30,600 –> 00:14:34,320
via his verified social media account a few hours ago,

228
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:36,919
has said that the family member and a brother of

229
00:14:36,960 –> 00:14:39,639
the kidnapped couple who worked with him and his team

230
00:14:39,720 –> 00:14:44,000
to deliver the prepared sting operational twenty million nairas ransom

231
00:14:44,080 –> 00:14:47,759
to the kidnappers has been arrested alongside his gang members

232
00:14:47,759 –> 00:14:52,559
with guns, but according to Harrison Gwamershoe, immediately the Nigeria

233
00:14:52,600 –> 00:14:56,240
Police Force noticed that he could vividly recognize the suspect

234
00:14:56,279 –> 00:14:59,480
as a brother to the kidnapped couple. The Nigeria Police

235
00:14:59,519 –> 00:15:02,639
Force quick released the suspect and charged other members of

236
00:15:02,679 –> 00:15:05,600
his gang arrested in Auchi to court, even when the

237
00:15:05,679 –> 00:15:09,240
kidnapping involving the suspects brother and wife is generating more

238
00:15:09,279 –> 00:15:12,559
reactions after the wife was set free by the kidnappers

239
00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:15,399
while the husband, who is the suspect’s brother, is still

240
00:15:15,440 –> 00:15:18,799
held in captivity till date by the kidnappers since both

241
00:15:18,879 –> 00:15:21,399
were kidnapped in their home at Avili Village in the

242
00:15:21,399 –> 00:15:24,759
Exico West Local Government area of Edo State in late

243
00:15:24,879 –> 00:15:29,759
days of November twenty twenty five. According to Harrison Guamshue,

244
00:15:29,919 –> 00:15:33,080
before the ransom money was delivered to the kidnappers inside

245
00:15:33,120 –> 00:15:35,679
the bush, the kidnappers made a phone call to the

246
00:15:35,799 –> 00:15:38,720
arrested and quickly set free suspect to give him the

247
00:15:38,799 –> 00:15:41,919
exact location to drop the money. He was surprised to

248
00:15:41,960 –> 00:15:45,039
hear one of the kidnapped victims, the husband still with

249
00:15:45,120 –> 00:15:48,080
the kidnappers, begging his brother, who is currently seen as

250
00:15:48,120 –> 00:15:50,919
the suspect behind the kidnapping to forgive him if he

251
00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:54,480
has done anything wrong to him. The pleading shocked him,

252
00:15:54,480 –> 00:15:57,000
but Harrison said he decided to act as if he

253
00:15:57,080 –> 00:16:01,559
never heard anything. Harrison Guamashue added that the suspect he

254
00:16:01,720 –> 00:16:04,039
was the family member that raised the alarm that the

255
00:16:04,159 –> 00:16:07,600
ransom money wasn’t complete, that that was the reason the

256
00:16:07,639 –> 00:16:10,720
kidnappers only released the wife and refused to set free

257
00:16:10,759 –> 00:16:15,320
the husband. Stating clearly that everyone who participated in taking

258
00:16:15,360 –> 00:16:18,240
the money to the kidnappers affirmed that the kidnappers never

259
00:16:18,279 –> 00:16:22,000
counted the money, that even if the kidnappers had counted

260
00:16:22,000 –> 00:16:25,360
the money, he prepared the money, specially by only scattering

261
00:16:25,399 –> 00:16:28,320
the tracking devices on the dummy NIRA notes that looked

262
00:16:28,360 –> 00:16:30,879
like original NYRA notes in a manner that made the

263
00:16:30,919 –> 00:16:34,960
whole money complete. The family member who delivered the ransom

264
00:16:35,000 –> 00:16:37,639
to the kidnappers and some of his gangs were arrested

265
00:16:37,679 –> 00:16:41,519
with guns in Auchi by soldiers. The soldiers handed them

266
00:16:41,559 –> 00:16:45,639
over to Auchi AIA Command. Auchi AIA Command transferred and

267
00:16:45,720 –> 00:16:49,759
to Anti Cultism Unit SCID Benine and along the side

268
00:16:49,960 –> 00:16:53,120
an order came that the boys should be released. Other

269
00:16:53,200 –> 00:16:55,960
people with him were charged to court and sent to prison.

270
00:16:56,799 –> 00:16:59,799
Same boy was with us in Auchi and knows our plans.

271
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:03,360
One of the most talked about Islamic preachers in Nigeria

272
00:17:03,399 –> 00:17:06,960
who have had photographs with people suspected to be terrorists

273
00:17:07,599 –> 00:17:11,279
terrorizing villages and communities in the northern part of Nigeria

274
00:17:11,359 –> 00:17:14,960
when he visited the suspected terrorists in their camps inside

275
00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:17,559
forests on the ground of having peace talk with the

276
00:17:17,720 –> 00:17:22,079
armed groups Shake Armored. Abu bak Armamoud Gumi has described

277
00:17:22,160 –> 00:17:25,759
as a terrorist act the United States U S military

278
00:17:25,839 –> 00:17:29,519
action ordered by President Donald Trump that attacked and killed

279
00:17:29,599 –> 00:17:33,640
yet to be ascertained total numbers of ISIS affiliated lacquerower

280
00:17:33,759 –> 00:17:38,480
terrorists in Socoto State on Christmas Day. This the Islamic

281
00:17:38,519 –> 00:17:41,319
cleric called on the people in the villages affected by

282
00:17:41,319 –> 00:17:44,720
the U S missiles strikes on Thursday night to post

283
00:17:44,799 –> 00:17:49,000
on social media platforms evidences of damages caused by the

284
00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,480
U S military action. According to Gumi, it is in

285
00:17:52,559 –> 00:17:55,640
line with the teachers of Islam for terrorists to be killed,

286
00:17:55,920 –> 00:17:58,440
but the killing must be done by people with the

287
00:17:58,519 –> 00:18:02,200
clean and holy hands and not by another terrorist whose

288
00:18:02,240 –> 00:18:05,279
hands sustained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of

289
00:18:05,279 –> 00:18:09,759
innocent children, women and men, just recently stressing that the

290
00:18:09,920 –> 00:18:13,319
U S involvement in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria

291
00:18:13,440 –> 00:18:16,440
will make the country becomes an enemy of its neighbors,

292
00:18:16,759 –> 00:18:19,759
a theater of war because the involvement will attract the

293
00:18:19,839 –> 00:18:23,279
real anti u S forces into the West Africa country.

294
00:18:23,559 –> 00:18:26,680
And in a manner that looked like mockery, shake Gumi said,

295
00:18:27,039 –> 00:18:29,640
dropping a few bombs here and there cannot tackle the

296
00:18:29,680 –> 00:18:33,839
menace of terror. They need serious military on the ground, which,

297
00:18:34,279 –> 00:18:36,920
if we are serious, we have enough men to do that.

298
00:18:37,480 –> 00:18:41,440
In contrary to Gumi’s assertions, the Nigeria government, through the

299
00:18:41,480 –> 00:18:44,839
Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tugers, said

300
00:18:44,839 –> 00:18:48,680
it was President Bola Ahmed Tenubu on Thursday that gave

301
00:18:48,720 –> 00:18:51,720
the US the approval to carry out the strikes against

302
00:18:51,720 –> 00:18:55,319
the terrorists. But the government’s statement apparently did not go

303
00:18:55,440 –> 00:18:59,359
down well with Omiyele Sawore, a human rights activist and

304
00:18:59,400 –> 00:19:03,240
the founder of Sahar Airporters News Media, who insisted that

305
00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:06,039
it is evident that the strikes were carried out without

306
00:19:06,079 –> 00:19:10,319
the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading

307
00:19:10,319 –> 00:19:14,000
as government under Assawar dju Bolah hm Ed Tenubu and

308
00:19:14,079 –> 00:19:17,240
in a swift reaction to Omiele Saare, one of the

309
00:19:17,279 –> 00:19:22,319
recently nominated and confirmed Ambassador Designate, Reno Amakri said, I

310
00:19:22,359 –> 00:19:25,119
am afraid I will have to disagree with mister Omile

311
00:19:25,279 –> 00:19:29,200
Saware and others like him who were misinforming the Nigerian

312
00:19:29,279 –> 00:19:33,160
public that the recent actions against terrorists approve that Nigeria

313
00:19:33,240 –> 00:19:36,319
lacks sovereignty. Such views are indicative of a lack of

314
00:19:36,359 –> 00:19:39,920
awareness of international relations. It is also wrong for mister

315
00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:44,039
Saware to call our government and military weak. Shaikh Armored

316
00:19:44,039 –> 00:19:46,799
Abu back arm A mood Gumi in a statement titled

317
00:19:47,200 –> 00:19:50,480
the Symbolism of the U S STRIKEE, he shared while

318
00:19:50,519 –> 00:19:54,640
many Nigerians were asleep after the twenty twenty five Christmas celebration,

319
00:19:55,160 –> 00:19:58,519
the United States U S war ship moved close and

320
00:19:58,559 –> 00:20:02,759
took position in the territory Africa Waters then launched missiles

321
00:20:02,759 –> 00:20:05,480
at the dead of the night on Thursday into areas

322
00:20:05,519 –> 00:20:10,039
predominantly dominated by the Lakaraware terrorists in the nigeria north

323
00:20:10,119 –> 00:20:14,200
western state of Sokato, with President Donald Trump saying many

324
00:20:14,240 –> 00:20:18,599
of the terrorists were killed, but the Islamic State of Arakan, Syria.

325
00:20:18,799 –> 00:20:21,519
ISIS in the West Africa Province is yet to issue

326
00:20:21,559 –> 00:20:24,599
a statement over the air strikes on the Lakarawa camps

327
00:20:24,599 –> 00:20:27,720
in Sokoto. The armed group that is affiliated with the

328
00:20:27,799 –> 00:20:32,839
Islamic State Sarhil Province operating in Mali, Nijay and the Nigeria,

Kebi and Sokato States, whose activities are mostly observed in

330
00:20:37,000 –> 00:20:42,400
five local government areas of Tangasa, Gudu, Alala, Binji and

331
00:20:42,480 –> 00:20:47,039
Salame in Sokato State. This some residents at Jabo Village

332
00:20:47,079 –> 00:20:50,839
in the Tambul local government area of Sokato State posted

333
00:20:50,960 –> 00:20:54,720
videos online to indicate that some components used in making

334
00:20:54,759 –> 00:20:57,759
the missiles fell on a farmland in the Jabo village.

335
00:20:58,079 –> 00:21:01,440
The videos showed a lot of the villages, mostly younger ones,

336
00:21:01,519 –> 00:21:04,960
holding phones with touch light on recording the scene of

337
00:21:05,000 –> 00:21:07,960
the burning parts of one of the missiles in the farmland,

338
00:21:08,279 –> 00:21:11,079
while some took a closer camera angle shot of some

339
00:21:11,240 –> 00:21:15,680
of the components that have manufacturing inscriptions, dates and brand labels.

340
00:21:16,440 –> 00:21:19,039
The U s Africa Command, in a statement a few

341
00:21:19,079 –> 00:21:22,599
hours ago, said that the direction of the President of

342
00:21:22,640 –> 00:21:25,680
the United States and the Secretary of War and in

343
00:21:25,759 –> 00:21:30,240
co ordination with Nigerian authorities, U s Africa Command conducted

344
00:21:30,240 –> 00:21:34,400
strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on December twenty fifth,

345
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:39,440
twenty twenty five in Soccato State. President Donald Trump, while

346
00:21:39,480 –> 00:21:43,240
announcing the military action through his Truth social media platform

347
00:21:43,319 –> 00:21:47,359
on Thursday night, said, to night, at my direction as

348
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:50,759
Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and

349
00:21:50,839 –> 00:21:55,599
deadly strike against ISIS terrorist scum in Northwest Nigeria who

350
00:21:55,640 –> 00:22:00,160
have been targeting and viciously killing primarily innocent Christians at

351
00:22:00,279 –> 00:22:04,319
levels not seen for many years and even centuries. I

352
00:22:04,440 –> 00:22:07,400
have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not

353
00:22:07,559 –> 00:22:10,880
stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay,

354
00:22:11,160 –> 00:22:15,759
and tonight there was the Department of War executed numerous

355
00:22:15,799 –> 00:22:19,759
perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.

356
00:22:20,559 –> 00:22:24,160
Under my leadership, our country will not allow radical Islamic

357
00:22:24,279 –> 00:22:28,480
terrorism to prosper. May God bless our military, and Merry

358
00:22:28,519 –> 00:22:32,000
Christmas to all, including the dead terrorists, of which there

359
00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:35,000
will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.

360
00:22:35,759 –> 00:22:39,640
Peter Hegsith, the U S Secretary of War, reiterated the

361
00:22:39,759 –> 00:22:42,400
US in an effort to challenge and prove wrong the

362
00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:46,880
statement of Harrison Guamneshu, a well known civilian volunteer assisting

363
00:22:46,960 –> 00:22:50,920
Nigeria’s security operatives with intelligence information that has led to

364
00:22:50,960 –> 00:22:54,200
the arrest and killing of suspected kidnappers in gun battle

365
00:22:54,599 –> 00:22:58,759
that he Harrison Gwamnashu was never arrested or charged to

366
00:22:58,839 –> 00:23:02,519
court by the Nigerian Police Force over the five point

367
00:23:02,680 –> 00:23:06,559
four million nyers he allegedly removed from the twenty million

368
00:23:06,640 –> 00:23:10,799
nyrus ransom he was contracted to handover to the kidnappers

369
00:23:10,880 –> 00:23:14,039
for the release and rescue of the married couple kidnapped

370
00:23:14,119 –> 00:23:18,160
in Avilli community in the Exico West Local Government area

371
00:23:18,279 –> 00:23:22,039
of Edo State in late November twenty twenty five, A

372
00:23:22,160 –> 00:23:27,400
leading Nigeria social media influencer and human rights activist, Martin’s

373
00:23:27,480 –> 00:23:31,200
vincentts Aka Veri Dukman, on Tuesday night, took to his

374
00:23:31,279 –> 00:23:35,559
social media pages and presented an apparent questionable court document,

375
00:23:35,960 –> 00:23:40,160
probably with malicious intent to manipulate and mislead unsuspecting members

376
00:23:40,200 –> 00:23:43,759
of the public inadat to malign the character of Harrison Guamerschue.

377
00:23:44,079 –> 00:23:47,559
This in the court document presented by Veri Dutman, the

378
00:23:47,599 –> 00:23:50,640
alleged charge serial numbers were covered with the colored inc

379
00:23:51,119 –> 00:23:53,920
No date of court sitting was written on the court document.

380
00:23:54,319 –> 00:23:57,640
The document indicated that the alleged three count charges were

381
00:23:57,720 –> 00:24:01,400
drafted and signed on the eighteenth of Decend now twenty five,

382
00:24:01,799 –> 00:24:04,920
a day before Harrison Guamashue was asked to go home

383
00:24:04,960 –> 00:24:09,079
from the police custody on December nineteenth, twenty twenty five,

384
00:24:09,319 –> 00:24:12,880
while awaiting the advice of the Department of Public Prosecutor

385
00:24:13,160 –> 00:24:16,839
DPP on the matter, and the apparent fraudulent court document

386
00:24:16,960 –> 00:24:20,160
did not show the officer or the person responsible for

387
00:24:20,200 –> 00:24:24,519
the court count charges, and Veridarkman, apparently in a manipulative manner,

388
00:24:24,559 –> 00:24:27,160
did not show the full signature and any name of

389
00:24:27,200 –> 00:24:32,039
the officer who authored the alleged court charges. Veridarkmann claimed

390
00:24:32,039 –> 00:24:35,720
in the video that the prosecutor wanted Harrison Guamashue jailed

391
00:24:35,720 –> 00:24:38,759
for six months, but the judge he identified as Justice

392
00:24:38,839 –> 00:24:43,440
Ettinosa hadcombie allegedly on her personal consideration because of the

393
00:24:43,519 –> 00:24:46,839
Chrisman and New Year’s season and public intervention, decided to

394
00:24:46,880 –> 00:24:51,519
grant Harrison Guamashue bail. Harrison Guamashu says he was never

395
00:24:51,640 –> 00:24:54,640
arrested by the police or charge to court as speculated

396
00:24:54,680 –> 00:24:57,720
in the public spaces over the five point four million

397
00:24:57,799 –> 00:25:00,960
miers he allegedly removed out of the twenty million nira’s

398
00:25:01,039 –> 00:25:04,039
ransom he was given to handover to kidnappers and as

399
00:25:04,079 –> 00:25:06,880
well apparently used the money as a bake to stage

400
00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:10,039
sting operation for the release and rescue of the husband

401
00:25:10,039 –> 00:25:13,960
and wife simply identified as mister and missus ibraheen kidnapped

402
00:25:14,000 –> 00:25:17,680
in Avili community in the Exico West Local Government area

403
00:25:17,759 –> 00:25:22,119
of Edo State, which generated public reactions after the kidnappers

404
00:25:22,160 –> 00:25:25,240
set free the wife and kept the husband in captivity

405
00:25:25,319 –> 00:25:27,359
on the ground that the money given to them was

406
00:25:27,400 –> 00:25:31,319
not complete and some persons who have acxer Harrison Guamashu

407
00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:34,119
says he was never arrested by the police or charged

408
00:25:34,160 –> 00:25:37,079
to court as speculated in the public spaces over the

409
00:25:37,160 –> 00:25:40,400
five point four million lyrus. He allegedly removed out of

410
00:25:40,440 –> 00:25:43,599
the twenty million nyrous ransom he was given to handover

411
00:25:43,680 –> 00:25:46,559
to kidnappers and as well apparently used the money as

412
00:25:46,599 –> 00:25:49,440
a bake to stage sting operation for the release and

413
00:25:49,599 –> 00:25:52,880
rescue of the husband and wife simply identified as mister

414
00:25:53,000 –> 00:25:56,720
and Missus Ibraheim kidnapped in Avili community in the Exico

415
00:25:56,839 –> 00:26:01,039
West Local government area of Edo State, which generated public

416
00:26:01,119 –> 00:26:04,359
reactions after the kidnappers set free the wife and kept

417
00:26:04,400 –> 00:26:07,119
the husband in captivity on the ground that the money

418
00:26:07,160 –> 00:26:10,200
given to them was not complete, and some persons who

419
00:26:10,279 –> 00:26:14,240
have access to the apparent sensitive security information went public

420
00:26:14,359 –> 00:26:18,000
to create an impression as if Harrison Guamlashue stole part

421
00:26:18,119 –> 00:26:21,920
of the ransom money, even when Harrison Gwamnashue explained to

422
00:26:21,960 –> 00:26:24,759
them that it is part of his operational procedures to

423
00:26:24,839 –> 00:26:28,759
remove some cash from the ransom money. His explanation apparently

424
00:26:28,839 –> 00:26:31,559
went on deaf ears and people who may be best

425
00:26:31,559 –> 00:26:34,720
described as mischief makers took advantage of the issue to

426
00:26:34,759 –> 00:26:39,039
call Harrison Guamashue names and reopen his alleged past deeds

427
00:26:39,079 –> 00:26:42,359
in a prejudiced manner to cast dispersions on him, even

428
00:26:42,480 –> 00:26:45,599
when they knew that Harrison Gwamnashu has a long history

429
00:26:45,680 –> 00:26:50,839
with video evidences of assisting security operatives to rescue kidnapped victims,

430
00:26:50,839 –> 00:26:53,920
and in some cases the total money paid as ransom

431
00:26:53,920 –> 00:26:56,640
are recovered and returned to the victim’s families, and the

432
00:26:56,680 –> 00:26:59,720
sting operation usually leads to the killing and arrest of

433
00:26:59,720 –> 00:27:04,119
the sus suspected kidnappers. This according to Harrison Guamoshu in

434
00:27:04,119 –> 00:27:07,799
a statement he issued through his verified Facebook accounts some

435
00:27:07,880 –> 00:27:11,440
hours ago, he was the one who personally submitted himself

436
00:27:11,559 –> 00:27:15,119
voluntarily to the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police

437
00:27:15,200 –> 00:27:18,319
forced to enable the police investigate his action, that he

438
00:27:18,400 –> 00:27:21,000
never had the intention of stealing the money and his

439
00:27:21,119 –> 00:27:24,119
action of removing some money from the ransom was part

440
00:27:24,200 –> 00:27:28,160
of his usual operational procedures, adding that the police never

441
00:27:28,279 –> 00:27:31,000
charged him to court and while in self detention with

442
00:27:31,039 –> 00:27:34,400
the police, he became the cell president and he facilitated

443
00:27:34,440 –> 00:27:37,559
the release of four persons who were probably arrested and

444
00:27:37,640 –> 00:27:41,039
detained by the police unjustly for a crime the beneficiaries

445
00:27:41,079 –> 00:27:44,279
may know nothing about. And a video posted online by

446
00:27:44,400 –> 00:27:48,160
Harrison Guamashu on Monday night showed he arrived home to

447
00:27:48,200 –> 00:27:50,880
the waiting hands of his elderly mother, who was seen

448
00:27:51,000 –> 00:27:54,880
in the video singing, dancing with other family members, friends

449
00:27:54,880 –> 00:27:58,240
and well wishes and screaming loud with joy while using

450
00:27:58,279 –> 00:28:00,839
one of her hands to caress the check of her son,

451
00:28:01,359 –> 00:28:04,519
Harrison Gwamneshu, during which she said a lot of prayers

452
00:28:04,559 –> 00:28:09,279
in her local dialect In his words, Harrison Gwamnishu said,

453
00:28:09,680 –> 00:28:13,680
I did not return alone. During my time in custody.

454
00:28:14,079 –> 00:28:17,559
I became the cell Precido O b J and later

455
00:28:17,680 –> 00:28:20,920
handed over that responsibility to a young man. Barely one

456
00:28:21,039 –> 00:28:25,119
month after terrorists invaded the Christian school on November twenty first,

457
00:28:25,160 –> 00:28:28,400
twenty twenty five and kidnapped over two hundred and thirty

458
00:28:28,440 –> 00:28:31,720
school children at the Saint Mary Catholic Church School in

459
00:28:31,839 –> 00:28:35,599
Papri Town in Niger State, the Nigeria government under the

460
00:28:35,680 –> 00:28:39,559
leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu, has announced the complete

461
00:28:39,599 –> 00:28:43,240
release of all the abducted church school children by the terrorists.

462
00:28:43,680 –> 00:28:48,000
According to the presidential Spokesperson, bo on Anuga, the terrorists

463
00:28:48,039 –> 00:28:52,039
released the kids based on intelligent driven operations, but some

464
00:28:52,200 –> 00:28:55,440
Nigerians who took to the comments sections of the presidential

465
00:28:55,480 –> 00:28:59,640
spokesperson on social media said the government should come out

466
00:28:59,680 –> 00:29:02,160
clean and tell the public the truth that it paid

467
00:29:02,200 –> 00:29:05,160
money as ransom to the terrorists to secure the freedom

468
00:29:05,200 –> 00:29:09,319
of the kids, stressing that terrorists don’t release kidnapped victims

469
00:29:09,319 –> 00:29:14,119
for free. Bao on Anuga, the presidential spokesperson, had said

470
00:29:14,160 –> 00:29:17,119
in a statement he issued and made available yesterday that

471
00:29:17,680 –> 00:29:21,079
The remaining one hundred and thirty school children abducted by

472
00:29:21,200 –> 00:29:25,279
terrorists at Saint Mary’s Catholic School in Papri, Niger State

473
00:29:25,599 –> 00:29:29,559
on November twenty first, have now been released. They are

474
00:29:29,599 –> 00:29:32,759
expected to arrive in Minna on Monday and rejoin their

475
00:29:32,799 –> 00:29:37,000
parents for the Christmas celebration. One hundred were released earlier

476
00:29:37,039 –> 00:29:40,400
by the terrorists, taking the total of freed students to

477
00:29:40,440 –> 00:29:44,039
two hundred and thirty. The freedom of the school children

478
00:29:44,200 –> 00:29:49,200
followed a military intelligence driven operation. Some social media users

479
00:29:49,200 –> 00:29:52,440
who are apparently Nigerians, took to the comments sections of

480
00:29:52,480 –> 00:29:56,720
the presidential spokesperson post both on Facebook and ex social

481
00:29:56,759 –> 00:30:00,880
media platforms and expressed themselves over the new developments, some

482
00:30:00,960 –> 00:30:06,039
of which are presented verbatim below. Relwan Ibrahim said, released

483
00:30:06,079 –> 00:30:10,400
not rescued. Kidnappers don’t release captives for free. In all,

484
00:30:10,519 –> 00:30:14,480
thank God for their lives. Femiade Boye said, So what

485
00:30:14,640 –> 00:30:18,240
happened to their abductors? Were they engaged in the way

486
00:30:18,240 –> 00:30:22,839
they understand or they were released after monetary negotiation. We

487
00:30:23,000 –> 00:30:25,880
thank God for dot the release of these children. At

488
00:30:25,880 –> 00:30:29,880
the same time, what happened to the abductors? Akim badet

489
00:30:29,920 –> 00:30:35,720
Agenbiade said, military intelligence driven operation as how enna how

490
00:30:35,759 –> 00:30:40,160
many bandits did they arrest? Banquie Alesh said a wheeler dealer.

491
00:30:40,240 –> 00:30:43,559
Government of no direction will never say the truth. Only

492
00:30:43,599 –> 00:30:46,359
God knows how much ransom was paid from the hard

493
00:30:46,400 –> 00:30:50,799
earned resources or borrowed funds of this country. No amount

494
00:30:50,799 –> 00:30:55,319
of propaganda or damage control. Nigerians becomes wiser every day

495
00:30:55,359 –> 00:30:57,279
with all your antics and they are ready for you.

496
00:30:57,359 –> 00:31:02,039
Come twenty twenty seven. Rosco Boco said, Sir, with all

497
00:31:02,160 –> 00:31:05,720
due respect, do the terrorists release them unconditionally or your

498
00:31:05,720 –> 00:31:10,839
government paid ransom. Joe k Megamixers stated the presently increasing

499
00:31:10,960 –> 00:31:13,759
rates of mass shooting leading to mass murder in South

500
00:31:13,799 –> 00:31:17,319
Africa recorded another new figure on Sunday early morning in

501
00:31:17,359 –> 00:31:20,920
the Beckistal town near the southwestern part of Johannesburg in

502
00:31:20,960 –> 00:31:24,599
the Gauteng province, when about twelve masked unknown gunmen invaded

503
00:31:24,599 –> 00:31:29,000
a public drinking, accommodation and relaxation spot known as Tavern,

504
00:31:29,319 –> 00:31:32,160
shooting into the parbman shop people as they cite them

505
00:31:32,160 –> 00:31:34,920
on the street while fleeing, leading to the killing of

506
00:31:35,039 –> 00:31:39,200
