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 –> 00:02:02,879
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 –> 00:02:29,520
made him so excited that he asked street vendors and
40
00:02:29,520 –> 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 –> 00:02:50,639
various Legos street performers who taught the quick learner several
45
00:02:50,719 –> 00:02:54,240
dance steps particularly suited to the Nigerian music genre of
46
00:02:54,280 –> 00:02:58,360
afrobeats that has taken the world by storm. Isho Speed
47
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,439
then visited the Nike Art gasp in Lek where the
48
00:03:01,479 –> 00:03:05,479
management fated him and gifted him a traditional Lukumi yoruber outfit,
49
00:03:05,800 –> 00:03:09,960
which left him in awe. Mister Watkins next met Afrobeat’s
50
00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:13,599
singers alat Adibile, who surprised him with a birthday cake,
51
00:03:13,960 –> 00:03:16,800
prompting Isho Speed to shockingly reveal that that was the
52
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:20,919
first birthday cake he had ever received. Hard to believe
53
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:24,000
his time in Nigeria has become one of the most
54
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,280
discussed pop culture moments of the year so far, and
55
00:03:27,360 –> 00:03:29,800
he was surpleased with Nigeria that one of the first
56
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:33,000
things he did when he visited neighboring Benin Republic was
57
00:03:33,039 –> 00:03:36,319
to seek out Nigerian’s there to continue catching the fund
58
00:03:36,319 –> 00:03:40,560
that mesmerized him in Nigeria. Finally, it is not true
59
00:03:40,599 –> 00:03:43,639
that the streamer left Nigeria in a hurry after spending
60
00:03:43,680 –> 00:03:47,159
only a day in our beautiful country. The truth is
61
00:03:47,199 –> 00:03:49,719
that he has only twenty eight days to visit twenty
62
00:03:49,759 –> 00:03:54,039
African countries, and other than South Africa, where he spent
63
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:58,240
three days, he spent approximately twenty four hours in each country.
64
00:03:58,919 –> 00:04:01,840
At the beginning of the ti when he had more time,
65
00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:04,840
he spent more days in countries, but as the tour
66
00:04:04,879 –> 00:04:08,120
wore on and he observed the logistical challenges of visiting
67
00:04:08,159 –> 00:04:12,159
the proposed twenty nations, pragmatism forced him to allocate his
68
00:04:12,280 –> 00:04:16,199
time more prudently. In no other country did mister Watkins
69
00:04:16,319 –> 00:04:19,560
enjoy such an action packed twenty four hours, which is
70
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:22,439
why he claimed he was a Nigerian, even saying he
71
00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:26,240
was likely igboked and named himself a Mecca. From the above,
72
00:04:26,519 –> 00:04:29,879
it is clear that the narrative crafted by some unpatriotic
73
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:33,560
Nigerians and blown out of proportion by fellow Africans who
74
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:37,120
do not understand Pan Africanism is nothing but a pathetic
75
00:04:37,240 –> 00:04:39,800
light told by people who have already failed in their
76
00:04:39,879 –> 00:04:43,800
unfortunate attempts at setting the United States against Nigeria and
77
00:04:43,879 –> 00:04:47,519
are desperate to reignite their negative agenda for Nigeria after
78
00:04:47,519 –> 00:04:51,519
seeing the Trump administration cooperating with our great country instead
79
00:04:51,519 –> 00:05:03,040
of invading it. Qui Abu bakh Malami, a former Minister
80
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:06,040
of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation who was
81
00:05:06,040 –> 00:05:10,040
in office from November twenty fifteen till May twenty twenty three,
82
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,800
when the then President Mohammadu Buhari completed his eight years
83
00:05:13,879 –> 00:05:18,600
tenure in office, under which courts of competent jurisdiction granted
84
00:05:18,680 –> 00:05:23,199
several detained Nigerian’s bail, but the Buhari government refused to
85
00:05:23,279 –> 00:05:26,120
release them and even re arrested some of them after
86
00:05:26,199 –> 00:05:30,160
they had perfected their bail conditions. The then Minister of Justice,
87
00:05:30,399 –> 00:05:33,639
Abu Bakhar Malami, who was saddled with the responsibility of
88
00:05:33,720 –> 00:05:37,920
protecting citizens’ rights, came out openly and apparently justified the
89
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:41,720
violations of court orders by the then Buhari led government
90
00:05:42,160 –> 00:05:46,480
and during the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari, Abu Bakhar
91
00:05:46,560 –> 00:05:50,519
Malami frequently defended the actions of the government’s refusal to
92
00:05:50,560 –> 00:05:54,680
obey court’s orders of bail granted to high profile individuals
93
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:59,800
by asserting that national security and public interests superseded individual rights.
94
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:04,160
Some of the high profile individuals included Colonel Sambo Dasuki,
95
00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:07,800
the former National Security adviser in the era of President
96
00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:10,680
good Luck A. Beleet Jonathan, who was held for four
97
00:06:10,759 –> 00:06:15,279
years from December twenty fifteen to December twenty nineteen. Despite
98
00:06:15,319 –> 00:06:18,920
being granted bail by at least four different Nigerian high
99
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:21,759
courts and the echo As Court, he was repeatedly re
100
00:06:21,879 –> 00:06:25,959
arrested by the Department of State Services the SS immediately
101
00:06:26,079 –> 00:06:30,319
after fulfilling bail conditions. Shaik Ibrahim el Zakaki and his
102
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,680
wife Zina detained from December twenty fifteen until they were
103
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:38,560
released in July twenty twenty one. Were refused bail after
104
00:06:38,639 –> 00:06:42,600
Federal Court declared the attention illegal in twenty sixteen and
105
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:46,600
ordered their release by January twenty seventeen, but the government
106
00:06:46,759 –> 00:06:50,199
under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister, did not
107
00:06:50,399 –> 00:06:54,040
comply until they were eventually acquitted of all charges by
108
00:06:54,079 –> 00:06:57,720
a Kaduna State High Court in twenty twenty one. Also,
109
00:06:58,079 –> 00:07:01,160
Armiele Saware, an act of vis and a journalist who
110
00:07:01,240 –> 00:07:04,399
is the founder of Sahara, a Reporter’s News Media, remained
111
00:07:04,439 –> 00:07:08,319
in DSS custody for several months in twenty nineteen, despite
112
00:07:08,360 –> 00:07:12,600
fulfilling bail conditions set by Justice Hijeyamurrijuku. He was re
113
00:07:12,759 –> 00:07:15,759
arrested within the court room just twenty four hours after
114
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:20,560
a temporary release. Nandi Karu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous
115
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,879
People of Biafra IPOB leader, was refused bail during his
116
00:07:24,959 –> 00:07:29,639
initial trial in twenty fifteen. President Buhari then publicly stated
117
00:07:29,759 –> 00:07:32,879
during a media chat that Karnu, among others, would not
118
00:07:32,920 –> 00:07:35,759
be allowed to go on bail due to the nature
119
00:07:35,879 –> 00:07:40,079
of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings. In addition was
120
00:07:40,199 –> 00:07:43,800
Navy Captain Dadar Labinjo, who was detained by the Nigeria
121
00:07:43,879 –> 00:07:48,120
military from September twenty eighteen until at least late twenty nineteen,
122
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:51,360
despite a Federal High Court order for his release, and
123
00:07:51,439 –> 00:07:57,120
during these periods Abubakhar Malami provided several justifications for these detentions,
124
00:07:57,560 –> 00:08:01,879
most notably during his twenty nineteen minutes Exterial Screening, Malamy
125
00:08:01,959 –> 00:08:04,639
stated that the office of the AGF is meant to
126
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:08,720
protect the public interest and where the individual interest conflicts
127
00:08:08,759 –> 00:08:11,480
with the public interest, the interest of one hundred and
128
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:15,959
eighty million Nigerians must naturally prevail. He cited the Supreme
129
00:08:16,040 –> 00:08:20,319
Court case of Asari Dokubo versus Federal Republic of Nigeria,
130
00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:25,240
arguing it established that national security could supersede personal liberty
131
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:28,519
in specific contexts, and when Dusuki and sir War were
132
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:32,799
finally released in December twenty nineteen, Malamy claimed the government
133
00:08:32,879 –> 00:08:37,480
did so on compassionate grants and in compliance with court orders,
134
00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:41,919
while denying that international pressure from the United States US
135
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:46,200
influenced the decision. Currently, but then apparent defender and justifier
136
00:08:46,279 –> 00:08:49,679
of government disobedient to court orders is now calling on
137
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,080
Nigerians and begging them to help him get justice since
138
00:08:53,159 –> 00:08:57,399
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e FCC kept him
139
00:08:57,440 –> 00:09:00,399
in custody against court order that he had said earlier
140
00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:04,320
granted him bail and after perfecting his bail conditions, he
141
00:09:04,480 –> 00:09:06,919
was re arrested by the DS and since he has
142
00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:12,879
remained in detention. According to Mohammad Belodoka, special assistant on
143
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:16,200
Media to Abu Bakhar Malamy, the Office of Abu Bakhar
144
00:09:16,279 –> 00:09:21,039
Malamy SAN expresses grave concern over a series of actions
145
00:09:21,080 –> 00:09:25,559
by state agencies, which, taken together, amount to a deliberate
146
00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:28,919
attempt to frustrate his constitutional right to fare, hearing and
147
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:33,759
effective legal defense. Following charges filed by the Economic and
148
00:09:33,879 –> 00:09:37,960
Financial Crimes Commission e f c C, the Federal High
149
00:09:37,960 –> 00:09:43,279
Court granted mister Malamy bail. However, the EFCC delayed the
150
00:09:43,279 –> 00:09:46,519
submission of his international passports to the court for about
151
00:09:46,559 –> 00:09:49,879
one week, despite the passport’s being a key condition for
152
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:54,399
the perfection of bail. This delay unnecessarily prolonged his detention
153
00:09:54,519 –> 00:09:58,799
and obstructed the execution of a valid court order. Immediately
154
00:09:58,879 –> 00:10:02,799
after mister Malamy eventually perfected his bail and was released
155
00:10:02,799 –> 00:10:06,080
from cou Jay Custodial Center, he was re arrested by
156
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:10,679
the Department of State Services DSS. He was thereafter detained
157
00:10:10,679 –> 00:10:13,799
for five days without access to his lawyers or family,
158
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:17,159
and was only allowed to meet his legal team on Friday,
159
00:10:17,240 –> 00:10:21,960
after prolonged isolation, delays, and brave violations of his fundamental
160
00:10:22,039 –> 00:10:26,120
human rights. This detention occurred at a critical time when
161
00:10:26,159 –> 00:10:30,039
mister Malamy was required to prepare and open his defense
162
00:10:30,120 –> 00:10:33,639
in an EFCC in from forfeiture proceeding before the Federal
163
00:10:33,720 –> 00:10:37,759
High Court. Denying him access to counsel during this period
164
00:10:37,879 –> 00:10:43,240
directly impaired his ability to consult, prepare filings, and give instructions,
165
00:10:43,279 –> 00:10:47,519
amounting to a clear frustration of due process. This sequence
166
00:10:47,559 –> 00:10:51,360
of events clearly suggests a pattern where arrest procedes investigation,
167
00:10:51,919 –> 00:10:55,080
with evidence sought after detention, an approach that is a
168
00:10:55,080 –> 00:10:59,200
blatant violation of the rule of law and constitutionally guaranteed rights.
169
00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:02,720
It is deeply troubling that the DSS appears to be
170
00:11:02,759 –> 00:11:07,279
adopting a similar practice of arrest, detention, and then evidence gathering.
171
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:11,039
The office stresses that bail granted by a court must
172
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:15,399
have meaning. No agency should be permitted to neutralize judicial
173
00:11:15,519 –> 00:11:19,960
orders through coordinated delays, re arrests, or denial of access
174
00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:24,559
to legal representation. Such actions undermine the authority of the
175
00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:28,120
court’s and pose a serious threat to fundamental human rights.
176
00:11:28,919 –> 00:11:32,679
Mister Malami remains ready to defend himself fully in court
177
00:11:32,679 –> 00:11:35,320
and in accordance with the law, and calls on all
178
00:11:35,399 –> 00:11:39,960
state institutions to respect court orders, constitutional guarantees and the
179
00:11:40,080 –> 00:11:44,080
rule of law. In earlier press releases issued by Mohammad
180
00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:48,919
Bello dooka Special Assistant on Media to Abubakhar Malami San.
181
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:53,399
In December twenty twenty five, the office of Abubakar Malami San,
182
00:11:53,919 –> 00:11:57,559
former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
183
00:11:57,879 –> 00:12:01,320
formally alert the Nigerian public and the US international community
184
00:12:01,360 –> 00:12:05,120
to the brazen, contemptuous and lawless conduct of the Economic
185
00:12:05,159 –> 00:12:08,799
and Financial Crimes Commission e f c C in its
186
00:12:08,879 –> 00:12:13,519
handling of matters concerning mister Malamy following the clear and
187
00:12:13,639 –> 00:12:16,519
unequivocal court order granted by the High Court of the
188
00:12:16,519 –> 00:12:21,000
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on the twenty third of December
189
00:12:21,039 –> 00:12:25,559
twenty twenty five, admitting Abubakar Malamy Sam to bail on
190
00:12:25,679 –> 00:12:29,000
already fulfilled conditions. Officials of the e f c C
191
00:12:29,240 –> 00:12:33,080
were formerly served with the court process. Rather than comply
192
00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:36,279
with the authority of the court, the Commission refused to
193
00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:39,559
accept the court back letter, chased away the bailiff and
194
00:12:39,679 –> 00:12:43,879
insisted on the continued detention of mister Malamy in blatant
195
00:12:43,960 –> 00:12:47,919
defiance of the law. This conduct represents nothing short of
196
00:12:47,960 –> 00:12:53,440
institutional lawlessness. The ef CC, an agency created by statute
197
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:57,039
and bound by the Constitution, has chosen to elevate itself
198
00:12:57,039 –> 00:13:00,240
above the courts, arrogating to its self powers. It does
199
00:13:00,279 –> 00:13:03,960
not possess in treating binding judicial orders with open disdain.
200
00:13:04,799 –> 00:13:08,279
More troubling is the fact that, despite revoking bail and
201
00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:14,960
detaining mister Malamy for over fourteen days, the EFCC has failed, refused,
202
00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:19,600
or neglected to arraign him before any court of competent jurisdiction.
203
00:13:20,039 –> 00:13:25,240
This prolonged detention without arraignment is illegal, unconstitutional, and oppressive,
204
00:13:25,559 –> 00:13:30,600
and amounts to a gross violation of mister Malamy’s fundamental rights.
205
00:13:30,799 –> 00:13:33,840
It is worthy of note that the EFCC is currently
206
00:13:33,879 –> 00:13:37,960
detaining abubac Ar Malamy Sam solely on the strength of
207
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:40,559
a High Court order that permitted his detention for a
208
00:13:40,559 –> 00:13:44,639
maximum period of fourteen days, an order which expires today.
209
00:13:45,440 –> 00:13:48,679
Even without regard to the separate bail granted by another
210
00:13:48,799 –> 00:13:53,399
high court of competent jurisdiction. The EFCC was legally obligated
211
00:13:53,440 –> 00:13:57,120
to either release him immediately or arraign him before a court. Today,
212
00:13:57,919 –> 00:14:01,120
it has done neither. This deliberate action is a further
213
00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:06,080
undamning confirmation of the EFCC’s vendetta, its platant disregard for
214
00:14:06,120 –> 00:14:09,240
the rule of law, and its dangerous descent into tyranny
215
00:14:09,279 –> 00:14:13,399
and abuse of power. Rather than submit itself to due process,
216
00:14:13,799 –> 00:14:17,639
the EFCC has instead embarked on an orchestrated media trial,
217
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:21,320
feeding selective narratives to the press in a deliberate attempt
218
00:14:21,399 –> 00:14:26,080
to poison public opinion, destroy reputations, and secure convictions in
219
00:14:26,120 –> 00:14:28,759
the court of public sentiment after failing to doce her
220
00:14:28,759 –> 00:14:31,919
in a court of law. This is a dangerous abuse
221
00:14:31,960 –> 00:14:36,039
of power and a direct assault on the principles of justice, fairness,
222
00:14:36,279 –> 00:14:39,799
and the rule of law. The Commission’s actions leave no
223
00:14:39,919 –> 00:14:43,000
doubt that it has abandoned its statutory mandate and allowed
224
00:14:43,039 –> 00:14:46,240
itself to be deployed as a tool of political persecution.
225
00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:50,720
When an anti corruption agency begins to disobey court orders,
226
00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:55,480
detain citizens indefinitely, and weaponize the media, it ceases to
227
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:57,879
be an instrument of justice and becomes a threat to
228
00:14:57,919 –> 00:15:02,080
democracy itself. Remind the e f c C that court
229
00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:06,240
orders are not suggestions their binding commands of the law.
230
00:15:06,679 –> 00:15:11,039
Selective obedience to judicial authority is the clearest pathway to anarchy,
231
00:15:11,399 –> 00:15:14,000
and Nigeria must not be allowed to descend into a
232
00:15:14,039 –> 00:15:17,519
state where security agencies choose which laws to obey and
233
00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:22,720
which to ignore. Abu Bakhar Malami San has repeatedly stated
234
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:25,879
his readiness to submit himself fully to due process and
235
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:29,279
to have any allegation determined strictly by a court of law.
236
00:15:30,039 –> 00:15:34,639
What he rejects rightly so is trial by detention, trial
237
00:15:34,679 –> 00:15:38,840
by media, and trial by political vendetta. The Office of
238
00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:43,519
Abu Bakar Malami San therefore calls on the judiciary to
239
00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:47,399
take urgent notice of this open contempt of court, relevant
240
00:15:47,440 –> 00:15:50,559
oversight bodies to hold the e f c C accountable
241
00:15:50,639 –> 00:15:54,120
for its serial violations of the law, and Nigerians of
242
00:15:54,159 –> 00:15:57,480
conscience to speak out against the dangerous precedent being set
243
00:15:57,519 –> 00:16:02,360
by the Commission’s actions. No agency, no matter how powerful,
244
00:16:02,759 –> 00:16:06,240
is above the law. The Office of Abu Bakar Malami
245
00:16:06,639 –> 00:16:11,120
San reiterates that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e
246
00:16:11,360 –> 00:16:14,919
f c C and its legal representatives have been properly
247
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:18,120
served with the order of the Honorable court. A day
248
00:16:18,159 –> 00:16:22,759
after the order was issued, the court bailiff, Mister Abiodin
249
00:16:22,840 –> 00:16:27,799
Kolawolee attempted service on the EFCC, which refused to receive
250
00:16:27,840 –> 00:16:31,919
the order. This refusal does not negate service nor diminish
251
00:16:31,960 –> 00:16:35,799
the authority of the court. Later that same evening, the
252
00:16:35,799 –> 00:16:40,960
office of ARCHITECPA San received the court order conclusively establishing
253
00:16:41,039 –> 00:16:45,240
notice and awareness on behalf of the e FCC. Meanwhile,
254
00:16:45,559 –> 00:16:49,600
emieleesa War has said he will never support extra judicial
255
00:16:49,639 –> 00:16:54,080
measures against anyone. I urged the Economic and Financial Crimes
256
00:16:54,120 –> 00:16:57,240
Commissioned to obey the court order granting bail to form
257
00:16:57,279 –> 00:17:02,840
a Nigerian Attorney General Abubakharm Malami San that said, we
258
00:17:02,919 –> 00:17:06,079
must also speak honestly about the despicable conduct of the
259
00:17:06,119 –> 00:17:09,960
Mohammadu Buhari and the Malami who governed with arrogance and impunity,
260
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:12,640
acting as though there would be no tomorrow and no
261
00:17:12,680 –> 00:17:17,279
accountability for their actions. In twenty nineteen, after four months
262
00:17:17,279 –> 00:17:21,559
of detention under the Mohammadu Buhari regime, I was granted bail,
263
00:17:21,920 –> 00:17:25,799
but Abu Bakar Malami San and the useless d SSDG.
264
00:17:25,960 –> 00:17:29,319
Yusuf Bicchi demanded that my sureties appear at the DSS
265
00:17:30,160 –> 00:17:33,759
offers for profiling, a request I refused to comply with.
266
00:17:41,440 –> 00:17:45,319
Nigeria Military Authority has confirmed the death of five soldiers
267
00:17:45,359 –> 00:17:48,680
and one police officer in an ambush launched by terrorists
268
00:17:48,720 –> 00:17:52,799
on Monday at Giddenwagni area of Zamfara State. The incident
269
00:17:52,880 –> 00:17:55,839
may be a reminder of incessant cases of high rates
270
00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:59,960
of Nigeria losing its soldiers and other security operatives in ambush,
271
00:18:00,640 –> 00:18:03,640
especially as observed as a worsening situation in the year
272
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,960
twenty twenty five, with the ambush of army barracks and
273
00:18:07,039 –> 00:18:09,839
killing of the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria
274
00:18:10,279 –> 00:18:13,519
AFN by terrorists in large number began as early as
275
00:18:13,599 –> 00:18:17,319
January twenty twenty five. It may be recalled that in
276
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:21,200
January twenty twenty five, terrorists launched an attack on the
277
00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:25,519
one hundred and forty nine Battalion in Malam Forturi, Borno State,
278
00:18:25,880 –> 00:18:29,319
leading to the killing of over twenty military personnel, including
279
00:18:29,359 –> 00:18:33,680
a battalion commander and senior offices. Within the first quarter,
280
00:18:34,079 –> 00:18:36,839
A careful review of news reports showed that more than
281
00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:40,400
one hundred Nigeria soldiers were reportedly killed in the first
282
00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:44,279
quarter of twenty twenty five by terrorists, mostly in ambush.
283
00:18:45,039 –> 00:18:49,000
In June twenty twenty five, terrorists attacks on three army
284
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,599
bases in central and northwestern Nigeria resulted in the killing
285
00:18:52,640 –> 00:18:57,200
of at least seventeen soldiers, and in September twenty twenty five,
286
00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:00,000
a major ambush on the barger made a Guri road
287
00:19:00,359 –> 00:19:03,359
was reported where at least forty soldiers were killed and
288
00:19:03,440 –> 00:19:07,680
sixty five went missing, while in October twenty twenty five,
289
00:19:08,119 –> 00:19:10,920
at least four soldiers were killed in the Boco Haram
290
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:15,039
ambush in Borno State, while another encounter in Camche resulted
291
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:18,319
in one soldier killed, and by November twenty twenty five,
292
00:19:18,799 –> 00:19:22,160
the Nigerian Army confirmed the death of Brigadier General Mussa
293
00:19:22,319 –> 00:19:25,319
Uber and two other soldiers following an ambush by IS
294
00:19:25,559 –> 00:19:30,160
swap terrorists near Wijeroco town in Borno State, which some
295
00:19:30,279 –> 00:19:34,319
local media reported that several soldiers were killed during the ambush.
296
00:19:34,640 –> 00:19:37,240
Even some of the local media stated that those who
297
00:19:37,359 –> 00:19:40,480
escaped the ambush, like the Brigadier general, were traced and
298
00:19:40,559 –> 00:19:43,920
killed by the terrorists, apparently after hours of no rescue
299
00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:48,880
or prompt reinforcement by the Nigeria Military Authority. According to
300
00:19:48,920 –> 00:19:54,079
Captain David Adassi, the Media Information Officer of Operation Fansan Yama,
301
00:19:54,519 –> 00:19:57,200
the five soldiers and the police officer were killed while
302
00:19:57,240 –> 00:20:00,799
the troops were returning from a successful operation and responding
303
00:20:00,839 –> 00:20:03,759
to a distress call of terrorists attack in a community
304
00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:08,839
in Zamfara State. In his words, Captain David Adalssi said,
305
00:20:09,279 –> 00:20:13,839
troops of Operation fans and Yama opf Y joined Tasks
306
00:20:13,960 –> 00:20:20,279
Forced Northwest have demonstrated exceptional bravery, professionalism and resilience following
307
00:20:20,279 –> 00:20:23,720
a terrorist ambush along the Bingi keken Wadje Gussa Road
308
00:20:23,799 –> 00:20:27,599
in Zamfara State on the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six.
309
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,680
The ambush followed a series of successful offensive operations conducted
310
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:36,319
from seventeen to the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six,
311
00:20:36,759 –> 00:20:40,400
when troops of Sector two opf Y, in conjunction with
312
00:20:40,440 –> 00:20:44,440
the opf Y Mobile Strike Team and DEA Tactical Support Team,
313
00:20:44,839 –> 00:20:49,640
carried out co ordinated raids, ambushes and fighting patrols across Burnon,
314
00:20:49,759 –> 00:20:54,559
Megaji and Anchor areas of Zamfara State. During these operations,
315
00:20:54,880 –> 00:21:00,839
three suspects IC Aquakutawa Ibrahem, Dan Mussulu and makhaw Lambergoma
316
00:21:01,200 –> 00:21:04,680
were arrested, while four terrorists were neutralized and others fled
317
00:21:04,720 –> 00:21:09,519
into the forest. Items recovered included one PKT machine gun,
318
00:21:09,880 –> 00:21:14,279
five a K forty seven rifles, three Act forty seven magazines,
319
00:21:14,640 –> 00:21:18,000
other items a rounds of seven point six two millimeters
320
00:21:18,039 –> 00:21:23,960
special ammunition, Baufeng radios, three motorcycles. While returning from these
321
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:27,279
operations and responding to a distress call on a terrorist
322
00:21:27,279 –> 00:21:30,839
for a prisal attack, troops of OPF Y Combat Team
323
00:21:30,920 –> 00:21:34,359
I came under attack by terrorists at gidden Wagni while
324
00:21:34,519 –> 00:21:37,920
en route to Keke and Wage. Despite the surprise of
325
00:21:37,960 –> 00:21:42,079
