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

en route to Keke and Wage. Despite the surprise of
325
00:21:37,960 –> 00:21:42,079
the ambush, the troops responded gallantly, engaging the terrorists and
326
00:21:42,160 –> 00:21:47,400
preventing further harm to nearby communities. Regrettably, five soldiers and
327
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:51,119
one police officer paid the supreme sacrifice during the encounter.
328
00:21:52,079 –> 00:21:55,839
Upon receipt of the distress report, the OPF Y Mobile

of fire that engulfed the twenty five story building of

Great Nigeria Insurance House Plaza at Balagoon Market in Lagos

00:23:51,960 –> 00:23:55,680
no emergency response from the government under the leadership of

00:23:55,759 –> 00:24:00,880

for days sent distressing pleas for help while trapped in
361
00:24:13,319 –> 00:24:17,039
the building, yet there were no emergency services to rescue them.
362
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:20,519
Several days passed in the rubble before their bodies were
363
00:24:20,559 –> 00:24:24,839
finally recovered, Several days of unanswered calls of a system
364
00:24:24,839 –> 00:24:27,279
that failed and at the moment they needed it most.
365
00:24:27,680 –> 00:24:31,519
Peter Obi made this statement after attending the burial ceremony
366
00:24:31,640 –> 00:24:35,519
of the three siblings held at Beuzoqua community in Ihiala
367
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:40,000
Local Government area of Anambra’s State on Wednesday, after Legos
368
00:24:40,039 –> 00:24:43,359
State Government, through the Office of the Commissioner for Information
369
00:24:43,480 –> 00:24:48,119
and Strategy, Glengoromatoso, in a statement issued on January first,
370
00:24:48,240 –> 00:24:51,400
twenty twenty six, stated that as soon as the fire
371
00:24:51,480 –> 00:24:55,000
alarm was received on the day, the government deployed teams
372
00:24:55,000 –> 00:24:58,359
of first responders to the scene, including the Legos State
373
00:24:58,480 –> 00:25:03,680
Fire and Rescue Service, Legos State Emergency Management Agency, Legos
374
00:25:03,680 –> 00:25:08,880
State Ambulance Services, security agencies and other emergency and safety units.
375
00:25:09,119 –> 00:25:12,599
But this statement from the Lagos State government appears not
376
00:25:12,680 –> 00:25:15,200
to be in line with an eye witness account. A
377
00:25:15,319 –> 00:25:18,559
resident who spoke with New Central Television at the scene
378
00:25:18,559 –> 00:25:21,279
of the fire incident that a phone call was made
379
00:25:21,279 –> 00:25:24,440
across to a fire service in Lagos State, but the
380
00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:28,759
fire service demanded thirty millionniers service fee before the fire
381
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:33,000
service would respond to the emergency issue this The resident
382
00:25:33,039 –> 00:25:35,880
added that if the fire service had responded on time,
383
00:25:36,240 –> 00:25:39,160
the entire building would have been saved, probably with no
384
00:25:39,319 –> 00:25:42,160
life lost, because the fire was only at a single
385
00:25:42,279 –> 00:25:46,880
floor when the fire service was called. According to Punch newspaper,
386
00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:50,880
the three siblings died after being trapped inside the burning
387
00:25:50,960 –> 00:25:54,440
high rise building in Lagos, an incident that shocked residents
388
00:25:54,480 –> 00:25:58,440
and reignited concerns over fire safety and emergency response in
389
00:25:58,519 –> 00:26:02,799
the country. According to family sources, the intensity of the
390
00:26:02,839 –> 00:26:07,079
inferno made rescue efforts impossible, and only ashes were recovered
391
00:26:07,079 –> 00:26:11,599
for burial. The burial brought grief and sorrow to Ihiala community,
392
00:26:12,000 –> 00:26:15,119
with residents praying that their souls find rest and that
393
00:26:15,160 –> 00:26:18,559
their family find strength to pass through this trying time.
394
00:26:19,400 –> 00:26:22,839
After the burial, emotions ran high as the young wives
395
00:26:22,839 –> 00:26:28,319
of the deceased, family members, friends, schoolmates, and sympathizers gathered
396
00:26:28,319 –> 00:26:32,559
to bid a painful farewell. Some attendees, dressed in black
397
00:26:32,599 –> 00:26:36,759
and carrying posters of the three siblings, wept openly, struggling
398
00:26:36,799 –> 00:26:39,200
to come to terms with the tragedy that sent shock
399
00:26:39,279 –> 00:26:43,720
waves across the community. Punch Online had reported on January
400
00:26:43,799 –> 00:26:46,440
seventh that the fire started on the fourth floor and
401
00:26:46,519 –> 00:26:49,599
spread to the sixth before engulfing the remaining floors and
402
00:26:49,680 –> 00:26:54,480
adjoining structures. A detached section of the plaza, estimated at
403
00:26:54,519 –> 00:26:58,680
about seven floors high, collapsed during the inferno, trapping some
404
00:26:58,759 –> 00:27:03,000
traders and market asseststones One of the families worst affected
405
00:27:03,119 –> 00:27:07,400
was the Omertu family, which lost three brothers, Steve forty,
406
00:27:07,640 –> 00:27:12,640
Kasmir thirty nine and Collins thirty seven. The siblings were
407
00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:15,119
trapped in the building and are believed to have died
408
00:27:15,160 –> 00:27:20,240
in the fire. A surviving twin, Camillus Homertu, reportedly escaped
409
00:27:20,279 –> 00:27:23,559
the blaze. Peter Obe, in a statement published through his
410
00:27:23,720 –> 00:27:28,880
verified social media accounts, said, yesterday I attended a deeply
411
00:27:28,920 –> 00:27:34,200
emotional and heartbreaking burial of three siblings, Stephen On Yeko Omertu,
412
00:27:34,559 –> 00:27:38,759
Casmir Nabuk Omertu and Collins Kennechukru omer Tu, the three
413
00:27:38,839 –> 00:27:41,480
young brothers whose lives were cruelly cut short in the
414
00:27:41,519 –> 00:27:46,359
Great Nigeria Insurance Building fire in Lagos, Nigeria. It is
415
00:27:46,400 –> 00:27:50,519
almost impossible to describe the depth of this tragedy. For days,
416
00:27:50,799 –> 00:27:54,079
these young men sent distressing police for help while trapped
417
00:27:54,079 –> 00:27:57,000
in the building, yet there were no emergency services to
418
00:27:57,079 –> 00:28:00,960
rescue them. Several days passed in the rubble before their
419
00:28:01,000 –> 00:28:05,680
bodies were finally recovered. Several days of unanswered calls of
420
00:28:05,759 –> 00:28:08,200
a system that failed them at the moment they needed
421
00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:11,480
it most. This is not just a personal loss for
422
00:28:11,519 –> 00:28:15,559
their family. It is a national loss. This tragedy should
423
00:28:15,599 –> 00:28:18,720
serve as a reminder that our emergency services must be
424
00:28:18,759 –> 00:28:23,319
improved and accessible to every citizen. We cannot continue like this.
425
00:28:23,920 –> 00:28:27,119
Every life matters, and no Nigerian should ever have to
426
00:28:27,240 –> 00:28:29,839
endure such neglect or be left to perish in such
427
00:28:29,839 –> 00:28:33,519
a gruesome way while help could have been provided. I
428
00:28:33,599 –> 00:28:37,240
pray that the souls of Steve Casmir and Colins find
429
00:28:37,279 –> 00:28:40,640
eternal rest and that God grants their family the courage,
430
00:28:40,799 –> 00:28:45,000
strength and comfort to bear this unimaginable grief. May we
431
00:28:45,079 –> 00:28:47,839
never forget them, and may we be moved to ensure
432
00:28:47,880 –> 00:28:52,000
such a tragedy never happens again. The Lagos State Government,
433
00:28:52,319 –> 00:28:56,920

434
00:28:57,359 –> 00:28:59,960

00:29:18,880 –> 00:29:21,960
twenty twenty six, that the government had taken note of
440
00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:27,160
some speculations and assertions concerning the incident. Omatoso conveyed the
441
00:29:27,160 –> 00:29:30,160
government’s sympathy to those who lost their loved ones in
442
00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:34,519
the incident, saying we feel their pain and understand their anxiety.
443
00:29:35,319 –> 00:29:38,240
He reiterated that as soon as the fire alarm was
444
00:29:38,279 –> 00:29:41,559
received on the day, the government deployed teams of first
445
00:29:41,599 –> 00:29:45,000
responders to the scene, including the Lagos State Fire and
446
00:29:45,079 –> 00:29:51,000
Rescue Service, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Lagos State Ambulance Services,
447
00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:56,759
security Agencies, and other emergency and safety units. Omatoso said
448
00:29:56,799 –> 00:30:00,920
the teams had also remained on site conducting cin stomatic search,
449
00:30:01,359 –> 00:30:05,920
rescue and safety operations in line with internationally accepted emergency
450
00:30:05,960 –> 00:30:09,920
response protocols. They will remain there and continue to work
451
00:30:10,039 –> 00:30:14,000
until the completion of recovery operations, supported by thorough and
452
00:30:14,039 –> 00:30:18,319
forensic assessments, he said. Giving an update on the incident,
453
00:30:18,680 –> 00:30:22,319
Omitoso said, as of this morning, the total number of
454
00:30:22,400 –> 00:30:26,240
victims is eight males, including a fireman rescued with varying
455
00:30:26,279 –> 00:30:30,000
degrees of injury and taken to the hospital. Three males
456
00:30:30,039 –> 00:30:33,799
and two females who sustained minor injuries were administered first
457
00:30:33,839 –> 00:30:37,839

458
00:30:37,920 –> 00:30:41,319

460
00:30:45,680 –> 00:30:50,279
the public, affected families and all stakeholders to exercise patients
461
00:30:50,559 –> 00:30:54,880
restraint and sensitivity and to refrain from spreading speculation that
462
00:30:54,920 –> 00:30:59,279
could heighten public anxiety or under mine ongoing operations. In
463
00:30:59,319 –> 00:31:02,960
addition to the numbers of death, the National Emergency Management
464

gutted by fire on the twenty fourth of December twenty
472
00:31:37,720 –> 00:31:43,079
twenty five. The multi agency rescue and recovery operation remains
473
00:31:43,160 –> 00:31:46,559
complex due to the precarious structural condition of the twenty
474
00:31:46,640 –> 00:31:51,799

499
00:33:42,799 –> 00:33:45,839
a Catholic priest, father A. James, in a tweet on
500
00:33:46,160 –> 00:33:50,160
x social media platform on January sixth, twenty twenty six,
501
00:33:50,319 –> 00:33:53,599
talked about the Omertu family and stated in quotes that
502
00:33:54,079 –> 00:33:57,279
there were seven orphans in one family, two girls and
503
00:33:57,400 –> 00:34:01,759
five boys. One of them is a priest, father William Omatu.
504
00:34:02,240 –> 00:34:04,920
Three of their brothers were trapped in the Great Nigeria
505
00:34:05,000 –> 00:34:08,000
House Market fire on Lagos Island and died there on
506
00:34:08,079 –> 00:34:11,800
Christmas Eve, the twenty fourth of December twenty twenty five.
507
00:34:12,679 –> 00:34:15,920
They did not die because it was inevitable. They died
508
00:34:15,960 –> 00:34:20,519
because in Nigeria life has become cheap. Because those meant
509
00:34:20,519 –> 00:34:23,960
to protect lives and property. Did not because no one
510
00:34:24,039 –> 00:34:29,239
came in time, because somehow nobody cared enough. How does
511
00:34:29,280 –> 00:34:32,280
a family bury three promising sons on the same day.
512
00:34:33,119 –> 00:34:36,760
How do you explain such pain? This is not just sad,
513
00:34:37,159 –> 00:34:41,039
It is devastating. It breaks the heart. What hurts even
514
00:34:41,079 –> 00:34:43,760
more is knowing that their brother, a priest and my
515
00:34:43,960 –> 00:34:47,519
friend here in Scotland. The remaining siblings will live the
516
00:34:47,559 –> 00:34:50,639
rest of their life and ministry carrying this memory, the
517
00:34:50,719 –> 00:34:54,280
knowledge of how their brothers died and how helpless everyone was.
518
00:34:55,039 –> 00:34:58,760
May Nigeria not happen to any of us. In Jesus’s name,
519
00:34:59,519 –> 00:35:02,519
I pray that the Lord grants this family the fortitude
520
00:35:02,519 –> 00:35:06,039
to carry a grief this heavy. May the souls of Stephen,
521
00:35:06,440 –> 00:35:11,079
Casmir and Collins rest in peace. Amen. On January ninth,
522
00:35:11,159 –> 00:35:15,119
twenty twenty six, Father A. James also treated and said,
523
00:35:15,519 –> 00:35:18,239
I just came off a call with Father William Ometu,
524
00:35:18,559 –> 00:35:21,239
the brother of the three siblings that lost their lives
525
00:35:21,280 –> 00:35:24,039
in the Legos market fire, and he told me they
526
00:35:24,039 –> 00:35:27,199
could not recover the bodies of his brothers. They were
527
00:35:27,280 –> 00:35:30,760
left only with ashes. In fact, he showed me the
528
00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:34,159
ashes he had just collected from the site. This is
529
00:35:34,239 –> 00:35:37,440
painful and heart breaking. He told me that about one
530
00:35:37,519 –> 00:35:41,440
hundred people died in that building. What a tragedy. I
531
00:35:41,480 –> 00:35:44,000
cannot imagine what it feels like for him and his
532
00:35:44,079 –> 00:35:47,199
remaining siblings at this time, but I pray that God
533
00:35:47,239 –> 00:35:50,960
will see him through. Amen, please keep them in your
534
00:35:51,000 –> 00:35:53,320
prayers as they travel for the burial.
535
00:35:53,559 –> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 2: We live and witnessed and my friend now also deosdauser
536
00:35:56,840 –> 00:35:59,920
sending business in this plaza, so very close to displeasing.
537
00:36:00,400 –> 00:36:03,800
But what I observe when the fires started around to
538
00:36:04,079 –> 00:36:08,840
around for something, is that they call some private fire
539
00:36:08,960 –> 00:36:12,920
service in the first places the accorden and as.
540
00:36:12,719 –> 00:36:16,199
Speaker 3: The conden they did that the demand for thirty million
541
00:36:16,280 –> 00:36:20,519
ere and the thing starts just only one floor and
542
00:36:20,599 –> 00:36:23,360
the only one floor is not it’s not it’s not
543
00:36:23,400 –> 00:36:24,119
even everywhere.
544
00:36:24,519 –> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: That’s only particular, like just particular.
545
00:36:27,000 –> 00:36:31,519
Speaker 5: Little little places in the in the first building, first floor.
546
00:36:32,159 –> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: That’s it.
547
00:36:33,000 –> 00:36:35,159
Speaker 3: Then try to to stop the fire. It don’t get
548
00:36:35,199 –> 00:36:39,039
to this estant, and then there’s a way even their.
549
00:36:38,920 –> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 5: Path, their path as the oppositive wedding fire did the
550
00:36:43,039 –> 00:36:46,920
only opposite of the building, the path day the disabling
551
00:36:47,519 –> 00:36:50,039
what is stopping them to work to to stop the
552
00:36:50,039 –> 00:36:52,000
fire then before it gets.
553
00:36:51,719 –> 00:36:55,199
Speaker 3: To this to this extent, so that’s my blame. Their
554
00:36:55,440 –> 00:36:56,320
private version is.
555
00:36:56,280 –> 00:36:58,639
Speaker 5: Supposed to be supposed to be to be to be
556
00:36:58,719 –> 00:37:04,920
banned because that’s so.
557
00:37:10,360 –> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: Inspector General of Police IGP, car Yode Eggbetoken, for days
558
00:37:15,320 –> 00:37:18,760
now has refused to speak or deliberately kept mum after
559
00:37:18,800 –> 00:37:23,079
a well known founder of a private organization, Harrison Guamashu,
560
00:37:23,119 –> 00:37:27,039
who have been assisting Nigeria’s security operatives with credible and
561
00:37:27,159 –> 00:37:30,480
reliable intelligence information that have led to the killing and
562
00:37:30,639 –> 00:37:34,639
arrest of several kidnappers. In a video statement on Saturday,
563
00:37:34,719 –> 00:37:38,639
revealed the complicit of the Nigeria Police Force in aiding
564
00:37:38,679 –> 00:37:42,000
and trying to cover up a reasonable suspect behind the
565
00:37:42,119 –> 00:37:45,159
kidnapping of a couple in the late days of November
566
00:37:45,199 –> 00:37:49,119
twenty twenty five at Avili community in the Exico West
567
00:37:49,159 –> 00:37:53,039
Local Government area of Edo State, and the reasonable suspect
568
00:37:53,159 –> 00:37:55,400
happened to be the younger brother of the man who
569
00:37:55,480 –> 00:37:59,760
was kidnapped alongside his wife, which the kidnappers only set
570
00:37:59,760 –> 00:38:02,840
for you the wife after a sting operational ransom money
571
00:38:02,840 –> 00:38:05,960
of twenty million nyers was given to the kidnappers with
572
00:38:06,039 –> 00:38:09,639
the Reasonable Suspect fully aware of all arrangements of the
573
00:38:09,679 –> 00:38:13,880
top secret security plans of Harrison Guamershue, but decided to
574
00:38:13,920 –> 00:38:17,880
make the sensitive security information public even when his elder
575
00:38:17,920 –> 00:38:22,239
brother is still held captive by the kidnappers. The Reasonable Suspect,
576
00:38:22,239 –> 00:38:25,280
in a TikTok video life streaming, admitted that he was
577
00:38:25,320 –> 00:38:28,840
actually among the people arrested by soldiers over an issue
578
00:38:28,920 –> 00:38:33,199
he the Reasonable Suspect refused to state. The Reasonable Suspect,
579
00:38:33,239 –> 00:38:36,519
among others, were handed over to the Nigeria Police Force
580
00:38:36,639 –> 00:38:41,719
for the continuation of investigation and possible prosecution, but according
581
00:38:41,760 –> 00:38:45,480
to Harrison Guamashue, immediately police noticed he was able to
582
00:38:45,519 –> 00:38:49,079
recognize the Reasonable Suspect as a family member who was
583
00:38:49,119 –> 00:38:52,000
aware of his security plans and he was also the
584
00:38:52,039 –> 00:38:54,559
one that helped deliver the money to the kidnappers in
585
00:38:54,599 –> 00:38:58,079
the bush. An order within the police authority came and
586
00:38:58,119 –> 00:39:01,840
the Reasonable Suspect was set free immediately, while others arrested
587
00:39:01,840 –> 00:39:05,960
alongside the Reasonable Suspect were remanded to prison. That aside,
588
00:39:06,239 –> 00:39:10,960
Harrison Guamashue, in an exclusive interview with TVC television station
589
00:39:11,239 –> 00:39:15,199
made available to the public by the broadcast media on Sunday,
590
00:39:15,280 –> 00:39:19,079
night indicated that the Nigeria Police Force had all the
591
00:39:19,119 –> 00:39:23,440
opportunities and chances to rescue the remaining kidnapped victims, but
592
00:39:23,960 –> 00:39:27,199
the police deliberately refused to go into the bush, with
593
00:39:27,280 –> 00:39:30,320
the police saying that the kind of intelligence information he
594
00:39:30,400 –> 00:39:34,360
had provided is an archaic style of intelligence gathering. This,
595
00:39:34,760 –> 00:39:38,119
according to Harrison Guamashue, forced him to show the police
596
00:39:38,199 –> 00:39:42,079
video evidences of how his style of intelligence has aided
597
00:39:42,159 –> 00:39:47,599
successful offensive operation against kidnappers, but all his explanations went
598
00:39:47,679 –> 00:39:51,679
on darias even when for days the tracking devices he
599
00:39:51,719 –> 00:39:54,360
added to the special money he mixed with the original
600
00:39:54,400 –> 00:39:57,559
money given to the kidnappers as ransom was still showing
601
00:39:57,559 –> 00:40:01,079
the exact location of the kidnappers and others useful information
602
00:40:01,199 –> 00:40:04,079
that could have enabled the police mobilize and rescue the
603
00:40:04,159 –> 00:40:09,840
remaining kidnapped victims. According to the reasonable Suspect, Harrison Guamishue
604
00:40:09,960 –> 00:40:13,800
was actually contacted to help capture the kidnappers. This statement
605
00:40:13,880 –> 00:40:16,559
probably indicated that he ought not to be surprised that
606
00:40:16,639 –> 00:40:20,360
some original money was removed from the bag by Harrison Guamishu,
607
00:40:20,440 –> 00:40:24,119
except he can explain better how he expected Harrison Guamashue
608
00:40:24,119 –> 00:40:29,039
to capture the kidnappers without acting intelligently. Harrison Guamashu had
609
00:40:29,079 –> 00:40:31,760
said that the reasonable suspect came with the money with
610
00:40:31,840 –> 00:40:33,679
a lot of young people who were with him in
611
00:40:33,760 –> 00:40:38,280
the hotel. According to Harrison Guamashue, he visited the hotel
612
00:40:38,360 –> 00:40:41,599
the reasonable suspect was and observed the presence of a
613
00:40:41,599 –> 00:40:44,440
lot of young individuals before he asked him to bring
614
00:40:44,480 –> 00:40:48,199
the money to his hotel room, adding that after the
615
00:40:48,239 –> 00:40:52,000
reasonable suspect brought the money to his hotel room, he left,
616
00:40:52,400 –> 00:40:55,599
leaving him Harrison Guamashaue and the brother of the woman
617
00:40:55,639 –> 00:40:58,400
who was kidnapped with her husband in the hotel room.
618
00:40:59,199 –> 00:41:02,480
Harrison guam said the wife’s brother, who he said to
619
00:41:02,519 –> 00:41:05,159
be a medical doctor, was inside the room while he
620
00:41:05,239 –> 00:41:08,800
was scattering the money and replacing some with the tracking devices.
621
00:41:09,559 –> 00:41:12,960
The reasonable suspect failed to state why he left Harrison
622
00:41:12,960 –> 00:41:16,119
Guamashu inside the hotel room while he was working on
623
00:41:16,159 –> 00:41:20,039
the money. The reasonable suspect failed to state the issue
624
00:41:20,079 –> 00:41:22,360
he felt was more important than the life of his
625
00:41:22,440 –> 00:41:25,280
elder brother and his wife that should make him leave
626
00:41:25,320 –> 00:41:29,239
Harrison Guamashu and others alone in the hotel room. The
627
00:41:29,320 –> 00:41:33,440
reasonable suspect also admitted that the kidnappers never counted the money,
628
00:41:34,199 –> 00:41:37,239
that immediately he opened the bag in the presence of
629
00:41:37,280 –> 00:41:40,280
the kidnappers saw the way and manner the nyron notes
630
00:41:40,320 –> 00:41:43,960
were scattered. He concluded that Harrison Gwamnashu had removed some
631
00:41:44,119 –> 00:41:47,920
money from the bag, adding that immediately he left the
632
00:41:47,960 –> 00:41:51,639
presence of the kidnappers, he started calling people to inform
633
00:41:51,679 –> 00:41:55,440
them that Harrison Gwamnashu had removed some money. And when
634
00:41:55,440 –> 00:41:59,800
the Divisional Police Officer DPO asked Harrison Gwamnashu if action
635
00:42:00,199 –> 00:42:03,519
he removed some money from the back, Harrison said yes,
636
00:42:03,840 –> 00:42:06,719
stating clearly that that is how he does his work.
637
00:42:07,480 –> 00:42:11,199
The reasonable suspect never stated why such an information became
638
00:42:11,239 –> 00:42:14,159
an issue on social media even when his brother was
639
00:42:14,199 –> 00:42:19,199
instill with the kidnappers. The Reasonable Suspects said the kidnappers
640
00:42:19,199 –> 00:42:22,400
are now demanding the exact five point four million nirous
641
00:42:22,480 –> 00:42:25,559
balance of the twenty million niras and an additional sixty
642
00:42:25,599 –> 00:42:29,079
million niras ransom before they would release his elder brother.
643
00:42:29,880 –> 00:42:34,800
Harrison Guamershu, while speaking on Saturday, said the reasonable Suspect
644
00:42:34,880 –> 00:42:38,679
was arrested alongside others with guns in Auchi by soldiers
645
00:42:38,679 –> 00:42:41,559
and they were subsequently handed over to the Police Area
646
00:42:41,639 –> 00:42:45,199
Command in Auchi and the police command thereafter transferred the
647
00:42:45,239 –> 00:42:48,719
suspects to the State Police Command in Benin City, where
648
00:42:49,000 –> 00:42:52,719
the reasonable suspect was set free without proper explanation from
649
00:42:52,719 –> 00:42:56,559
the police authority. Many who have spoken about the arrest
650
00:42:56,599 –> 00:43:00,119
of the reasonable suspect by the soldiers indicated that a
651
00:43:00,159 –> 00:43:04,079
reasonable suspect and others arrested alongside him were captured by
652
00:43:04,079 –> 00:43:07,960
the soldiers in a secret cult related crime, and recent
653
00:43:08,039 –> 00:43:11,559
crackdowns in late twenty twenty five and early twenty twenty
654
00:43:11,639 –> 00:43:14,599
six in Edo State based on police reports, have led
655
00:43:14,639 –> 00:43:17,440
to the arrest of over one hundred and twelve suspects,
656
00:43:17,840 –> 00:43:20,880
many of whom confess to being both kidnappers and secret
657
00:43:20,880 –> 00:43:25,320
cult members. If true, the reasonable suspect was arrested by
658
00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,239
soldiers in secret cult related activities, on what ground was
659

661
00:43:35,280 –> 00:43:38,239
reasonable suspect to be set free even when the police
662
00:43:38,280 –> 00:43:41,639

is a capital offense that attracts more than twenty years
664
00:43:44,920 –> 00:43:49,159
jail term and life imprisonment. The information available to us
665
00:43:49,199 –> 00:43:52,480
indicated that the reasonable suspect may have run away from
666
00:43:52,559 –> 00:43:55,559

Speaker 6: Now it’s understanding. They will go to the policican, go
820
00:51:23,039 –> 00:51:25,400
to DPP and withdraw the case because this case is
821
00:51:25,440 –> 00:51:27,199
still there is the case has not been dismissed and
822
00:51:27,760 –> 00:51:28,760
just released conditionally.
823
00:51:30,480 –> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 7: So this is got involved in this case. The case
824
00:51:32,960 –> 00:51:34,320
has what’sn’t more?
825
00:51:34,639 –> 00:51:37,039
Speaker 13: But to come to that exactly we saw that. We
826
00:51:37,119 –> 00:51:38,760
went ahead to say that the man is still in
827
00:51:38,840 –> 00:51:41,360
a very critical condition and the family is not selling
828
00:51:41,400 –> 00:51:46,480
the man’s property. Is that true, Harrison, would you come from.
829
00:51:46,360 –> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 12: The family is critical? I wouldn’t know if the man
830
00:51:49,840 –> 00:51:50,840
is in a critical condition.
831
00:51:51,159 –> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 13: I mean the property. The selling of the man’s property
832
00:51:53,280 –> 00:51:55,159
that the family roosters that they need to know sell
833
00:51:55,199 –> 00:51:55,639
the property.
834
00:51:57,519 –> 00:51:58,039
Speaker 7: That’s true.
835
00:51:58,480 –> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 12: Someone a friend we start to them, a friend of
836
00:52:01,000 –> 00:52:05,119
marriage to them and said he can. We sorry the
837
00:52:05,239 –> 00:52:07,400
woman the most. The wife of the man reached out
838
00:52:08,079 –> 00:52:10,360
to a friend, somebody who close, who is close to me.
839
00:52:10,760 –> 00:52:13,760
I said, they kidnappers start they had the money for
840
00:52:13,880 –> 00:52:17,280
so so so and you people are sisters. And the
841
00:52:17,360 –> 00:52:20,199
man was angry and said, because the man already advised
842
00:52:20,199 –> 00:52:24,039
them before now and the police that he keeping harting
843
00:52:24,079 –> 00:52:28,719
the cell is not going to resolve this matter. The
844
00:52:28,800 –> 00:52:31,119
hay take and applical guys can getting the guy out
845
00:52:31,440 –> 00:52:35,559
because I was an atation what what went to the bush?
846
00:52:36,000 –> 00:52:38,960
Was he showing the exact location where they where this
847
00:52:39,079 –> 00:52:41,079
guy man? The police refused to act on it.
848
00:52:41,320 –> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 13: So okay, the police didn’t want to act on it,
849
00:52:42,960 –> 00:52:44,239
but they knew where the location was.
850
00:52:44,400 –> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 12: They refused to Yes, what would be the I don’t know,
851
00:52:50,159 –> 00:52:54,639
but the police was was just glammoring on prosecuting me
852
00:52:55,440 –> 00:52:57,840
or you know, for god knows, I don’t know. I
853
00:52:57,880 –> 00:53:00,480
don’t know even I’m yet when I start why the
854
00:53:00,559 –> 00:53:03,199
rest so? But I believe because of my years of
855
00:53:03,239 –> 00:53:08,320
advocacy instruction, maybe that was why. All right, So the
856
00:53:08,440 –> 00:53:10,639
man restarted them and I said, no, man retarted them.
857
00:53:10,679 –> 00:53:12,840

Speaker 13: But Harrison, I also know that the twenty million was
870
00:53:57,039 –> 00:53:59,360
involved in this whole thing. You know where where did
871
00:53:59,400 –> 00:54:00,679
that twenty million actually go to?
872
00:54:04,159 –> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:54:04,840 –> 00:54:05,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, Harrison, can.
874
00:54:05,679 –> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 4: You hear me?
875
00:54:06,639 –> 00:54:08,559
Speaker 12: It went to the kidnap It went to the kidnappers.
876
00:54:08,639 –> 00:54:10,599
Speaker 13: Did you give it to them directly? Did you give
877
00:54:10,599 –> 00:54:11,400
it to them directly?
878
00:54:12,519 –> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 12: No, I don’t pay kid, I don’t pay it at
879
00:54:14,880 –> 00:54:18,760
the kidnappers. The family went in and gave the money to.
880
00:54:18,719 –> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 7: The kid nabers.
881
00:54:19,360 –> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 13: So the family met with the kidnappers.
882
00:54:22,480 –> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 12: Yes, the kidnappers, they is given and take they don’t
883
00:54:27,039 –> 00:54:29,920
drop it somewhere and move. No, you’ll bring the money
884
00:54:30,039 –> 00:54:32,159
and give them in their legs. While they are there
885
00:54:32,239 –> 00:54:34,599
with you, you will confirm the money and then you
886
00:54:34,760 –> 00:54:38,679
move the religious person and give to you. But but
887
00:54:38,920 –> 00:54:41,880
on this one, your money was not counted. So know
888
00:54:42,079 –> 00:54:45,960
if it’s millions or both twenty million, this is the
889
00:54:46,079 –> 00:54:55,519
point you want, Yeah, what’s this is the this is
890
00:54:55,599 –> 00:54:58,039
the point. The money was not counted to know if
891
00:54:58,039 –> 00:55:00,400
it’s that both went a million or listen to but
892
00:55:00,559 –> 00:55:03,840

894
00:55:06,639 –> 00:55:07,320
into that forest.
895
00:55:08,119 –> 00:55:09,679
Speaker 13: But you know right right about now.
896
00:55:10,079 –> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 12: But but but but there are there are things, there
897
00:55:12,920 –> 00:55:15,239
are things involved which I had not.
898
00:55:15,280 –> 00:55:17,039
Speaker 11: Seen now exactly I can think.
899
00:55:17,639 –> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, so but what went into that forest was twenty millionaire.
900
00:55:20,760 –> 00:55:21,519
Speaker 8: I went to that forest.
901
00:55:21,679 –> 00:55:24,679
Speaker 12: And again, please, that man was not kill laughing low
902
00:55:24,760 –> 00:55:27,880
and the wife and family were kid laugh a man
903
00:55:27,920 –> 00:55:30,440
and wife was kidnapped. The man also is corrected that
904
00:55:30,519 –> 00:55:33,079
with the man, the man family brought twenty million lere
905
00:55:33,480 –> 00:55:36,679
to the same kidnappers. The kidnappers took that money and
906
00:55:36,760 –> 00:55:39,079
they not also released that man. Through It’s not just
907
00:55:39,360 –> 00:55:40,039
money that forest.
908
00:55:40,119 –> 00:55:42,119
Speaker 13: Now, so now it’s not just the man in the forest.
909
00:55:42,159 –> 00:55:43,880
Actually there’s another man in the forest as well.
910
00:55:44,519 –> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 12: No, there’s not manly for est. The man was kidnapped
911
00:55:47,199 –> 00:55:50,400
with the wife and then a little tie. The kidnapers
912
00:55:50,440 –> 00:55:52,320
noted that the child was prying. They really the wife
913
00:55:52,360 –> 00:55:54,800
and the type of brow. Yeah, they heard a man.
914
00:55:55,039 –> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 10: That man.
915
00:55:55,400 –> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 12: The family also came to pay money twenty million lere.
916
00:55:58,079 –> 00:55:59,960
They took the money, that same thing, that same life.
917
00:56:00,400 –> 00:56:02,039
Speaker 13: But how are you saying with this whole thing, I’m
918
00:56:02,159 –> 00:56:05,119
worried that you know, these families. You’re saying that these
919
00:56:05,159 –> 00:56:07,840
families go and they see these kidnappers one on one.
920
00:56:08,079 –> 00:56:09,920
You know, I’m worried that if they know where they are,
921
00:56:10,000 –> 00:56:12,559
they see them. You know, that’s very scary. Anything would
922
00:56:12,559 –> 00:56:13,679
have happened to these families.
923
00:56:14,960 –> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 11: M hm.
924
00:56:16,159 –> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 13: Why didn’t the police take charge at any point of
925
00:56:18,920 –> 00:56:19,280
all of this.
926
00:56:21,559 –> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 12: They have opportunity to have striked them. They have big opportunity.
927
00:56:25,000 –> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 13: So the police had the opportunity to strike them.
928
00:56:28,000 –> 00:56:31,199
Speaker 12: They had the opportunity. They said that my method was
929
00:56:31,239 –> 00:56:34,159
that bitter that was going That was what gave I said, no,
930
00:56:34,559 –> 00:56:38,199
I have them because of the recover was made. Yeah,
931
00:56:38,480 –> 00:56:43,559
the g those pictures of of this kid napers ability
932
00:56:43,559 –> 00:56:45,760
alive by the military, I don’t know alive. I don’t
933
00:56:45,760 –> 00:56:52,480
really cree. I with my tea, we we show them
934
00:56:52,760 –> 00:56:55,719
the tracks of these kid nappers using our device that
935
00:56:55,840 –> 00:56:59,800
has been working for us. So sometimes difficult to tell
936
00:56:59,800 –> 00:57:03,239
you I’m not part of yours. Don’t want to. They
937
00:57:03,280 –> 00:57:07,639
don’t want to, you know, show the love in what David.
938
00:57:10,320 –> 00:57:10,639
Speaker 10: I am.
939
00:57:11,159 –> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 12: I’m part of your Krishon, I’m barely performed.
940
00:57:13,519 –> 00:57:16,239
Speaker 13: I’m young, nu kim out and apologizing.
941
00:57:21,519 –> 00:57:26,119
Speaker 1: Harrison Guamashu, the founder of a registered private organization assisting
942
00:57:26,199 –> 00:57:30,679
the Nigeria security operatives with credible and reliable intelligence information
943
00:57:30,840 –> 00:57:32,960
that have led to the killing and arrest of several
944
00:57:33,079 –> 00:57:36,800
kidnappers in the West Africa country, especially in the South
945
00:57:36,880 –> 00:57:40,480
South geopolitical zone of Edo and Delta States, in a
946
00:57:40,559 –> 00:57:44,559
video statement issued via his verified social media account a
947
00:57:44,639 –> 00:57:47,599
few hours ago, has said that the family member and
948
00:57:47,679 –> 00:57:50,360
the brother of the kidnapped couple who worked with him
949
00:57:50,400 –> 00:57:53,800
and his team to deliver the prepared sting operational twenty
950
00:57:53,920 –> 00:57:57,960
million nyrus ransom to the kidnappers, has been arrested alongside
951
00:57:58,079 –> 00:58:02,360
his gang members with guns. But according to Harrison Guamershoe
952
00:58:02,599 –> 00:58:06,199
immediately the Nigeria Police Force noticed that he could vividly
953
00:58:06,280 –> 00:58:09,239
recognize the suspect as a brother to the kidnapped couple.
954
00:58:09,719 –> 00:58:13,159
The Nigeria Police Force quickly released the suspect and charged
955
00:58:13,239 –> 00:58:16,639
other members of his gang arrested in Aucheta Court, even
956
00:58:16,719 –> 00:58:19,719
when the kidnapping involving the suspects brother and wife is
957
00:58:19,800 –> 00:58:23,039
generating more reactions after the wife was set free by
958
00:58:23,079 –> 00:58:26,119
the kidnappers while the husband, who is the suspect’s brother,
959
00:58:26,280 –> 00:58:29,440
is still held in captivity till date by the kidnappers
960
00:58:29,519 –> 00:58:32,440
since both were kidnapped in their home at Avili Village
961
00:58:32,519 –> 00:58:35,599
in the Exco West Local Government area of Edo State
962
00:58:35,719 –> 00:58:39,719
in late days of November twenty twenty five. According to
963
00:58:39,840 –> 00:58:43,239
Harrison Guamershue, before the ransom money was delivered to the
964
00:58:43,360 –> 00:58:46,800
kidnappers inside the bush, the kidnappers made a phone call
965
00:58:46,880 –> 00:58:49,679
to the arrested and quickly set free suspect to give
966
00:58:49,800 –> 00:58:52,599
him the exact location to drop the money. He was
967
00:58:52,679 –> 00:58:55,840
surprised to hear one of the kidnapped victims, the husband
968
00:58:55,960 –> 00:58:58,840
still with the kidnappers, begging his brother, who is currently
969
00:58:58,960 –> 00:59:01,960
seen as the suspect behind the kidnapping to forgive him
970
00:59:02,000 –> 00:59:05,159
if he has done anything wrong to him. The pleading
971
00:59:05,239 –> 00:59:08,039
shocked him, but Harrison said he decided to act as
972
00:59:08,079 –> 00:59:11,880
if he never heard anything. Harrison Guamashu added that the
973
00:59:11,960 –> 00:59:15,119
suspect he was the family member that raised the alarm
974
00:59:15,199 –> 00:59:18,480
that the ransom money wasn’t complete, that that was the
975
00:59:18,559 –> 00:59:21,440
reason the kidnappers only released the wife and refused to
976
00:59:21,519 –> 00:59:26,119
set free the husband. Stating clearly that everyone who participated
977
00:59:26,199 –> 00:59:28,599
in taking the money to the kidnappers affirmed that the
978
00:59:28,719 –> 00:59:32,639
kidnappers never counted the money. That even if the kidnappers
979
00:59:32,719 –> 00:59:35,800
had counted the money, he prepared the money specially by
980
00:59:35,880 –> 00:59:39,119
only scattering the tracking devices on the Dummi Nira notes
981
00:59:39,159 –> 00:59:41,760
that looked like original Nyra notes in a manner that
982
00:59:41,920 –> 00:59:45,679
made the whole money complete. The family member who delivered
983
00:59:45,719 –> 00:59:48,320
the ransom to the kidnappers and some of his gangs
984
00:59:48,360 –> 00:59:52,320
were arrested with guns in Auchi by soldiers. The soldiers
985
00:59:52,400 –> 00:59:56,880
handed them over to Auchieria Command Auchi AIA command transferred

and to Anti Cultism Unit scid Benin and along the side,

an order came that the boys should be released. Other

01:00:04,519 –> 01:00:07,280
people with him were charged to court and sent to prison.
989
01:00:08,119 –> 01:00:11,119
Same boy was with a Sinouci and knows our plans.
990
01:00:11,599 –> 01:00:14,639
I told the police my story, my statement is with
991
01:00:14,760 –> 01:00:20,800
the police. They did nothing. Continuing, Harrison Buamlishue stated verbatim, Thus,
992
01:00:21,280 –> 01:00:25,599
good afternoon. My name is Harrison Buamlishue. While I was
993
01:00:25,679 –> 01:00:29,559
in custody in State sid Benin at the CP’s office.
994
01:00:29,880 –> 01:00:32,719
CP was in that meeting. The Chief of Staff to
995
01:00:32,800 –> 01:00:35,800
the Governor was in that meeting. The CSO to the governor,
996
01:00:36,119 –> 01:00:38,960
chief Security Officer to the Governor was in that meeting.
997
01:00:39,239 –> 01:00:42,400
The Commissioner for Security and Public Safety was in that meeting.
998
01:00:42,760 –> 01:00:45,760
The head of investigative team was in that meeting. The
999
01:00:45,840 –> 01:00:48,480
family members were in that meeting. The wife of the
1000
01:00:48,559 –> 01:00:51,320
man kidnapped was in that meeting, his brother was in
1001
01:00:51,440 –> 01:00:54,800
that meeting, and other parties were there. My lawyer was
1002
01:00:54,840 –> 01:00:56,880
in that meeting, and then a friend of mine who
1003
01:00:56,960 –> 01:01:00,239
lives in Benin was also in that meeting. And the
1004
01:01:00,320 –> 01:01:03,599
family pleaded. They said that nobody should ever post about
1005
01:01:03,639 –> 01:01:07,719
this matter on social media until the matter is resolved.
1006
01:01:08,199 –> 01:01:11,679
I accepted. When I left the police custody, I did
1007
01:01:11,760 –> 01:01:14,960
not say anything about it. They have been the ones
1008
01:01:15,079 –> 01:01:19,000
now going around telling people things that never existed and
1009
01:01:19,199 –> 01:01:22,280
they are now posting on social media. People are now
1010
01:01:22,440 –> 01:01:27,079
changing posting narratives and the rest of it now. Number one,
1011
01:01:27,559 –> 01:01:30,480
this guy you see on the screen, this guy, this
1012
01:01:30,679 –> 01:01:32,880
is the family member that went to drop the money
1013
01:01:32,920 –> 01:01:36,639
to the kidnappers. He was aware of the arrangement. The
1014
01:01:36,840 –> 01:01:40,360
arrangement was that. Now look at when I was in
1015
01:01:40,440 –> 01:01:43,880
a saba. They said, the kidnappers demanded for fifty million
1016
01:01:44,000 –> 01:01:47,280
for both of them, the husband and wife, and they
1017
01:01:47,320 –> 01:01:51,320
were able to raise twenty million nira. Now the kidnappers
1018
01:01:51,400 –> 01:01:53,880
now told them that with twenty million naira they will
1019
01:01:53,960 –> 01:01:57,159
release only the woman. That was what they told me
1020
01:01:57,320 –> 01:02:00,320
while I was in a saba. Later they said the
1021
01:02:00,440 –> 01:02:03,679
kidnappers accepted to collect twenty million nirah for the both
1022
01:02:03,719 –> 01:02:07,519
of them. They pleaded that the wife is pregnant, although
1023
01:02:07,639 –> 01:02:10,440
the kidnappers were telling them that that money would be
1024
01:02:10,519 –> 01:02:14,400
for only the wife. Later they said the kidnappers accepted
1025
01:02:14,440 –> 01:02:17,880
to collect twenty million nirah. Why I was invited was
1026
01:02:17,960 –> 01:02:21,480
not to go and give the kidnappers money. No, it
1027
01:02:21,679 –> 01:02:23,760
was for me to fix something in the bag of
1028
01:02:23,880 –> 01:02:26,960
money they are taking to the kidnappers. This is not
1029
01:02:27,159 –> 01:02:30,239
what I am supposed to say on the social media space.
1030
01:02:31,119 –> 01:02:34,199
But now it is time for me to say the
1031
01:02:34,280 –> 01:02:37,920
way it is so that anywhere it is going, people
1032
01:02:37,960 –> 01:02:40,920
will know the true fact of the story, so that
1033
01:02:41,039 –> 01:02:44,320
they will stop believing one sided story. And when I
1034
01:02:44,440 –> 01:02:47,719
got into Auchi, this same guy you see here, they
1035
01:02:47,760 –> 01:02:50,880
brought the money to my hotel. I first of all
1036
01:02:51,000 –> 01:02:54,920
went to their hotel. They were crowded. Young boys were there.
1037
01:02:55,280 –> 01:02:58,480
They now came to my hotel. While in my hotel
1038
01:02:58,639 –> 01:03:02,159
room they left somebody, a doctor who is a brother
1039
01:03:02,239 –> 01:03:05,239
to the woman. He was sitting there in my room.
1040
01:03:05,719 –> 01:03:08,920
I did my job perfectly. The bag was sealed up
1041
01:03:09,000 –> 01:03:12,400
for them to take it to the kidnappers in the forest. Now,
1042
01:03:12,920 –> 01:03:16,719
before they moved to the forest, the kidnappers called and
1043
01:03:16,880 –> 01:03:19,559
he answered the phone, which was the last pick up
1044
01:03:19,880 –> 01:03:22,960
for them to give direction where they’re coming. The man
1045
01:03:23,079 –> 01:03:25,440
in the bush, the man with the still held in
1046
01:03:25,519 –> 01:03:29,239
the bush, was begging this guy. The doctor was there.
1047
01:03:29,599 –> 01:03:32,960
The doctor, the brother to the woman, was sitting down there.
1048
01:03:33,800 –> 01:03:36,719
My driver was there, and other people were sitting down there.
1049
01:03:37,159 –> 01:03:39,559
The man in the bush was begging the brother. This
1050
01:03:39,800 –> 01:03:44,199
one begging this guy. He said, please, if I have
1051
01:03:44,360 –> 01:03:48,400
wronged you before, forgive me if I have done something
1052
01:03:48,480 –> 01:03:51,719
to you before. Forgive me, and he began to beg
1053
01:03:52,039 –> 01:03:55,639
him A beg. Now me and my wife are here.
1054
01:03:56,159 –> 01:03:59,679
You know, my wife a beg if I have done
1055
01:03:59,719 –> 01:04:04,760
young before. I begged, forgive me. I begged, I begged.
1056
01:04:05,039 –> 01:04:08,480
He was begging this guy. Then the phone hanged up.
1057
01:04:08,920 –> 01:04:11,880
I asked him. I asked him, why was your brother
1058
01:04:12,000 –> 01:04:17,400
begging you? He said, I get previous transaction. I said, hey,
1059
01:04:17,840 –> 01:04:21,360
it’s okay, no problem. I just do as if. It
1060
01:04:21,480 –> 01:04:25,519
didn’t even go in my head. Nothing happened. I just
1061
01:04:25,719 –> 01:04:28,800
left it. So they carried the money to the bush,
1062
01:04:29,280 –> 01:04:31,960
and when they got to the bush, they said, the
1063
01:04:32,079 –> 01:04:34,519
kidnappers did not count the money to know whether it
1064
01:04:34,639 –> 01:04:38,079
is above twenty million mirah or below twenty million mirah.
1065
01:04:38,840 –> 01:04:41,559
If they have counted that money, that money will be
1066
01:04:41,639 –> 01:04:44,719
twenty million mirah because what we did, what we did
1067
01:04:44,920 –> 01:04:47,840
was what we are supposed to do. They only saw
1068
01:04:47,920 –> 01:04:50,599
that the money was counted, but they did not count
1069
01:04:50,639 –> 01:04:54,000
the money. It was this same guy, thank god, he
1070
01:04:54,159 –> 01:04:57,880
was there with my driver who confirmed everything. It was
1071
01:04:58,000 –> 01:05:00,480
this same guy that came out and raised alarm that
1072
01:05:00,599 –> 01:05:02,480
it was what I did that made them to hold
1073
01:05:02,519 –> 01:05:08,519
the guy. Now, listen, kidnappers. These kidnappers, we’ve monitored them
1074
01:05:08,599 –> 01:05:12,360
for months, both in Delta and in Edo States. Now
1075
01:05:12,800 –> 01:05:16,679
they don’t count money one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand.
1076
01:05:17,039 –> 01:05:21,199
They count in bundles. So what we did was they
1077
01:05:21,239 –> 01:05:24,800
wouldn’t have even noticed anything at all. They wouldn’t have
1078
01:05:25,039 –> 01:05:28,840
noticed anything at all. We did our job perfectly well
1079
01:05:28,920 –> 01:05:32,400
and they took the money. There the money was not counted.
1080
01:05:32,920 –> 01:05:36,239
Now listen, now, it was not only this man they
1081
01:05:36,280 –> 01:05:40,039
went to release and the wife. Another family they kidnapped.
1082
01:05:40,400 –> 01:05:44,760
This family, they kidnapped. This one they kidnapped. They kidnapped
1083
01:05:44,800 –> 01:05:48,480
this man, the wife and the husband. But along the
1084
01:05:48,559 –> 01:05:51,280
line they released the woman and the child because the
1085
01:05:51,400 –> 01:05:55,440
child was crying. The same family, this other family went
1086
01:05:55,559 –> 01:05:59,280
also to pay ransom again to kidnappers too and when
1087
01:05:59,320 –> 01:06:02,599
they got there, the same kidnappers. When they got there,
1088
01:06:03,039 –> 01:06:06,440
the kidnappers collected twenty million naira and they didn’t release
1089
01:06:06,519 –> 01:06:10,199
the man. So both this one and this one were
1090
01:06:10,239 –> 01:06:12,719
taken back to the bush and the woman was released.
1091
01:06:13,559 –> 01:06:17,400
That was what transpired. So while I was in custody
1092
01:06:17,440 –> 01:06:21,880
in Benin, I saw young people. They raided, They arrested
1093
01:06:21,960 –> 01:06:26,199
young guys brought them to the cell. What happened. They said,
1094
01:06:26,239 –> 01:06:29,639
this boy here, this same person that paid ransom, they
1095
01:06:29,760 –> 01:06:34,239
arrested him. He was arrested in Auchi, arrested them with guns,
1096
01:06:34,679 –> 01:06:38,920
not only him, many of them. And suddenly they released
1097
01:06:38,960 –> 01:06:42,320
this guy, this same guy that went to pay this ransom,
1098
01:06:42,800 –> 01:06:45,119
that the order came from the police that they should
1099
01:06:45,159 –> 01:06:48,519
let him go. They released him and I was in
1100
01:06:48,599 –> 01:06:51,719
the cell with them. In fact, when they brought him
1101
01:06:51,760 –> 01:06:54,760
to my cell, they quickly changed these people from my
1102
01:06:54,960 –> 01:06:59,119
cell to another cell immediately because maybe they knew that
1103
01:06:59,199 –> 01:07:03,320
those guys they have they know me. They changed them
1104
01:07:03,360 –> 01:07:07,119
from my cell to another cell. I was surprised. Now,
1105
01:07:07,599 –> 01:07:10,280
if you watch this video, you see what this boy
1106
01:07:10,440 –> 01:07:14,760
is saying. Here he said, look at him celebrating when
1107
01:07:14,800 –> 01:07:19,760
he was released. You like your freedom? Freedom is priceless. Yes,
1108
01:07:20,199 –> 01:07:23,599
if you like me, I give you no. But if
1109
01:07:23,639 –> 01:07:26,719
you like me, I give you at times for who
1110
01:07:27,079 –> 01:07:30,440
at times I kill you. They did not charge this
1111
01:07:30,679 –> 01:07:33,480
boy and other ones to court. This was the same
1112
01:07:33,599 –> 01:07:36,400
guy who took the money to go and give the kidnappers.
1113
01:07:37,280 –> 01:07:39,679
The same guy the brother in the bush was begging.
1114
01:07:40,119 –> 01:07:43,840
That money was twenty million mirah twenty million mirah was
1115
01:07:43,920 –> 01:07:48,719
in that bag. Twenty million mira, twenty million mira. If
1116
01:07:48,800 –> 01:07:52,280
the kidnappers counted that money at that first stage, it
1117
01:07:52,360 –> 01:07:56,480
would count twenty million mirah. But the social media issues
1118
01:07:56,880 –> 01:07:59,840
they now increase. Now they announced that the family should
1119
01:07:59,840 –> 01:08:04,119
bring in some amount of money. So my brothers, I
1120
01:08:04,239 –> 01:08:07,440
did my best. I did my best. I didn’t do
1121
01:08:07,599 –> 01:08:11,239
anything wrong in that matter. I did everything possible. But
1122
01:08:11,400 –> 01:08:14,440
there are things I would still say, how the money,
1123
01:08:14,800 –> 01:08:18,439
everything that happened, I would say it because if I
1124
01:08:18,560 –> 01:08:22,000
say it, I think that ends my work too. I
1125
01:08:22,119 –> 01:08:25,319
won’t be doing anything for anybody again. But I have
1126
01:08:25,520 –> 01:08:28,479
to clear my name. I have to clear my name.
1127
01:08:29,119 –> 01:08:31,840
So those of you who destroy my name on the
1128
01:08:31,920 –> 01:08:36,600
social media space, there is no problem this narrative they’re
1129
01:08:36,680 –> 01:08:40,079
selling to you, go ahead with it, go ahead with it.
1130
01:08:40,439 –> 01:08:43,800
To day ed Nut, I was bashing him. Yes, I
1131
01:08:43,920 –> 01:08:47,920
messaged him. I said, why do you stop posting that?
1132
01:08:48,159 –> 01:08:51,159
V d M said he has something against me and
1133
01:08:51,359 –> 01:08:54,560
you stopped posting. He could not bring it up. Why
1134
01:08:54,680 –> 01:08:58,680
do you stop posting? Post what? Just post it? Ask
1135
01:08:58,840 –> 01:09:01,800
him questions, where is the evidence you say you have
1136
01:09:01,920 –> 01:09:05,880
for Nigerians? You were giving us twenty four hours to confess.
1137
01:09:06,439 –> 01:09:07,479
Where is the evidence?
1138
01:09:07,960 –> 01:09:08,119
Speaker 8: Good?
1139
01:09:08,159 –> 01:09:08,359
Speaker 4: After?
1140
01:09:08,439 –> 01:09:12,279
Speaker 12: My names are racing shoe while I was in constantly
1141
01:09:12,359 –> 01:09:16,600
state Saggy at the CIP’s office. All right, Sippy, wasn’t
1142
01:09:16,640 –> 01:09:19,239
a meeting. The Chief of Staff to the governor was
1143
01:09:19,239 –> 01:09:22,279
in that meeting, the CSO to the governor, chief Security
1144
01:09:22,319 –> 01:09:24,800
Officer to the governor was that team? The Commissioner for
1145
01:09:24,920 –> 01:09:26,399
Security and Public Safety?
1146
01:09:26,520 –> 01:09:27,199
Speaker 11: Wasn’t that meeting?
1147
01:09:27,760 –> 01:09:32,439

01:09:55,840 –> 01:10:00,359
nobody should ever post about this matter on social media.
1155
01:10:00,680 –> 01:10:05,720
I don’t see the matter is self, I said when

01:10:13,880 –> 01:10:18,680
telling people things that never existed, and then I posting
1159
01:10:19,039 –> 01:10:22,399
show media. People are now changing to stay narratives and
1160
01:10:22,560 –> 01:10:26,359
the rest of them now number one, this guy you

see you on the screen. This guy, this is DETERMINA member.
1162
01:10:29,079 –> 01:10:31,439
I went to drop the money to the kidnappers. He
1163
01:10:31,640 –> 01:10:33,000
was aware of the arrangement.
1164
01:10:34,000 –> 01:10:37,079
Speaker 4: The arrangement was that. Now look at when I was niceurber,
1165
01:10:37,560 –> 01:10:38,000
they said.
1166
01:10:37,880 –> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 12: The kidnappers demanded for fifteen million from both of them,
1167
01:10:40,800 –> 01:10:46,800
the husband and wife, and they were they were able
1168
01:10:46,840 –> 01:10:49,600
to waste twenty million there and the kidnappers and told
1169
01:10:49,640 –> 01:10:53,880
them that with twenty millionaire they were released only the woman.
1170
01:10:53,960 –> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 4: That was what they told me while I was naturber.
1171
01:10:58,199 –> 01:11:03,079
Speaker 12: Later they said kidnappers are sept to collect her twenty
1172
01:11:03,119 –> 01:11:04,960
millionaire for the booth of them that they pleaded that
1173
01:11:05,039 –> 01:11:07,279
the wife is pregnant or the nappers were telling her
1174
01:11:07,319 –> 01:11:09,319
that that that money would be for only the wives.
1175
01:11:10,680 –> 01:11:12,439
Later they said the kidappers are self there to collect
1176
01:11:12,680 –> 01:11:15,760
twenty millionaire. While I was invited was not to go
1177
01:11:15,880 –> 01:11:18,840
and get the kidnappers. Mon No, it was for me
1178
01:11:18,960 –> 01:11:22,399
to fixing something in the bag of money that came
1179
01:11:22,439 –> 01:11:24,279
to the kidnappers. This is not what I’m supposed to
1180
01:11:24,279 –> 01:11:27,319
say on the sushi media space. But then it’s time
1181
01:11:27,399 –> 01:11:31,000
for me to let kids say the way christs, so
1182
01:11:31,079 –> 01:11:33,199
that anywhere is going people who know the truth out
1183
01:11:33,239 –> 01:11:35,960
of the story, so that they will stop leaving one
1184
01:11:36,000 –> 01:11:39,079
side their story. And when I got into a wuchi,
1185
01:11:39,920 –> 01:11:42,960
this same guy you see here they brought they went
1186
01:11:42,960 –> 01:11:44,520
into my hotel. I first off I went to the
1187
01:11:44,600 –> 01:11:47,439
hotel they were how the young boys were there. Then
1188
01:11:47,479 –> 01:11:48,479
I came to my hotel.
1189
01:11:49,159 –> 01:11:52,199
Speaker 4: While in my hotel room they left somebody, a doctor
1190
01:11:52,439 –> 01:11:53,800
who is a brother to the woman.
1191
01:11:53,880 –> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 12: He was sitting there in my room. I did my
1192
01:11:55,920 –> 01:11:58,840
job confectly. The child was see up for them to
1193
01:11:58,880 –> 01:12:03,279
take it to the kidnappers. Think the forest now Before
1194
01:12:03,760 –> 01:12:06,640
they moved to the forest, they kidnapers called and he
1195
01:12:06,680 –> 01:12:08,840
answered your phone, which was the last peaker for them
1196
01:12:08,880 –> 01:12:11,680
to give direction on radio are common. The man in
1197
01:12:11,760 –> 01:12:14,640
the bush, the master heading the bush, was begging this
1198
01:12:14,800 –> 01:12:18,560
guy if the doctor before the doctor was there. The
1199
01:12:18,640 –> 01:12:20,880
doctor he brought that to this to the woman was
1200
01:12:20,920 –> 01:12:23,399
sitting down there. My dather was there, and other people
1201
01:12:23,479 –> 01:12:24,239
were sitting down there.
1202
01:12:24,920 –> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 4: The money. The bush was begging the brother and this
1203
01:12:27,079 –> 01:12:28,039
one was begging this guy.
1204
01:12:28,439 –> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 12: He said, please, if I have drunk you before, forgive
1205
01:12:31,880 –> 01:12:35,119

1206
01:12:34,840 –> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 4: Me and it and they begged you. I beg me
1207
01:12:37,800 –> 01:12:39,640
and my wife they yeah, you know my wife get

01:12:39,880 –> 01:12:41,680
I beg if I don’t do you wrong. Before I

01:12:41,760 –> 01:12:43,119

1210
01:12:43,880 –> 01:12:44,159
Speaker 11: I beg.
1211
01:12:44,319 –> 01:12:49,199
Speaker 12: He was begging this guy. Then the phone hanged up
1212
01:12:49,279 –> 01:12:51,720
and asked him. I asked him, what was the good
1213
01:12:51,760 –> 01:12:55,680
at begging you? He said, and gets previous transactions? I say,
1214
01:12:56,239 –> 01:12:58,720
I said, I just did even go my.
1215
01:12:58,760 –> 01:13:02,079
Speaker 4: Head with nothing. I just did you. So they carry
1216
01:13:02,119 –> 01:13:05,159
the money to the push and they went.
1217
01:13:05,199 –> 01:13:08,520
Speaker 12: When they got to the push, they said, the kidnappers
1218
01:13:08,600 –> 01:13:11,640
did not count the money to know that it is
1219
01:13:11,720 –> 01:13:15,760
about twenty million ere or below twenty million ere. If
1220
01:13:15,800 –> 01:13:18,399
you have counted that money, that money will be twenty
1221
01:13:18,439 –> 01:13:22,239
millionaire because what we did, what we did was what
1222
01:13:22,880 –> 01:13:23,720
we were supposed to do.
1223
01:13:24,279 –> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 4: Now they don’t.
1224
01:13:26,159 –> 01:13:28,399
Speaker 12: They only saw that the money was cutted, but they
1225
01:13:28,399 –> 01:13:30,520
did not carry the money. It was the same guy,
1226
01:13:31,520 –> 01:13:34,560
thank god, he was there with my driver to confirm everything.
1227
01:13:35,119 –> 01:13:37,000
It was the same guy that came out and raised
1228
01:13:37,000 –> 01:13:40,079
a lamp that it was what I did that made
1229
01:13:40,119 –> 01:13:46,399
them to help the guy. Now, listen, kidnappers, This kid
1230
01:13:46,520 –> 01:13:50,640
nappers with monitor them from moons both in the daughter
1231
01:13:50,880 –> 01:13:55,239
and in those states. Now they don’t count money one
1232
01:13:55,359 –> 01:13:59,399
hundred thousand to they cut him brundus. So what we
1233
01:13:59,560 –> 01:14:04,560
did was they wouldn’t have even noticed anything at all.
1234
01:14:05,920 –> 01:14:08,039
They didn’t have noticed editing. But we did our talk
1235
01:14:08,079 –> 01:14:13,960
perfectly well and the money day was not counted. Now listen, now,
1236
01:14:14,039 –> 01:14:15,760
it was not only this mon they went to release
1237
01:14:15,960 –> 01:14:18,880

1240
01:14:26,319 –> 01:14:28,159
they released him. The woman and the type call the

1243
01:14:33,760 –> 01:14:35,279
and when they got they the same kidnappers.
1244
01:14:35,479 –> 01:14:38,359
Speaker 4: When they got there, the kilappers and they don’t release
1245
01:14:38,399 –> 01:14:38,680
the man.
1246
01:14:39,359 –> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 12: So were this this one and this one with ty
1247
01:14:42,479 –> 01:14:46,720
came back to the bush and the woman was That
1248

Speaker 12: In fact, when they brought them to myself, they quickly
1260
01:15:26,560 –> 01:15:31,800
changed this these people from myself prouder self immediately because
1261

they knew that those guys they have, you know me,
1262
01:15:34,800 –> 01:15:38,279
they changed them for myself to their self. I was surprised.
1263
01:15:39,880 –> 01:15:41,399
Now if what just you don’t see what this boy

Speaker 12: They did not charge this boy. My mother wants to
1268
01:16:00,680 –> 01:16:04,239
cough this for the same guy who took the money
1269
01:16:04,279 –> 01:16:06,119

01:16:24,720 –> 01:16:31,159

01:18:42,880 –> 01:18:47,439
thousands of innocent children, women and men. Just recently stressing
1313
01:18:47,520 –> 01:18:50,680
that the U S involvement in the fight against terrorism
1314
01:18:50,800 –> 01:18:53,880
in Nigeria will make the country becomes an enemy of
1315
01:18:53,960 –> 01:18:57,479
its neighbors, a theater of war because the involvement will
1316
01:18:57,520 –> 01:19:00,600
attract the real anti U S forces into the West
1317
01:19:00,640 –> 01:19:03,520
Africa country. And in a manner that looked like mockery,
1318
01:19:03,920 –> 01:19:06,960
Shaik Gumi said, dropping a few bombs here and there,
1319
01:19:07,000 –> 01:19:10,600
cannot tackle the menace of terror. They need serious military
1320
01:19:10,720 –> 01:19:14,000
on the ground, which, if we are serious, we have
1321
01:19:14,199 –> 01:19:17,439
enough men to do that. In contrary to Gumi’s assertions,
1322
01:19:17,840 –> 01:19:20,880
the Nigeria government, through the Office of the Minister of
1323
01:19:20,960 –> 01:19:24,840
Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuger, said it was President Bola Ahmed
1324
01:19:24,880 –> 01:19:28,319
Tenubu on Thursday that gave the US the approval to
1325
01:19:28,439 –> 01:19:31,720
carry out the strikes against the terrorists. But the government’s
1326
01:19:31,720 –> 01:19:35,600
statement apparently did not go down well with Omile Saware,
1327
01:19:36,079 –> 01:19:39,319
a human rights activist and the founder of Sahara Reporters
1328
01:19:39,399 –> 01:19:42,479
news media, who insisted that it is evident that the
1329
01:19:42,560 –> 01:19:46,479
strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed
1330
01:19:46,560 –> 01:19:50,439
consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under Assawa ju
1331
01:19:50,520 –> 01:19:53,439
Bola Ahmed t Enubu. And in a swift reaction to
1332
01:19:53,520 –> 01:19:58,479
Omile Saware, one of the recently nominated and confirmed Ambassador Designate,
1333
01:19:58,840 –> 01:20:01,760
Reno Omakri, said, I am afraid I will have to
1334
01:20:01,840 –> 01:20:05,760
disagree with mister Omiyelee Saware and others like him who
1335
01:20:05,840 –> 01:20:09,520
are misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent actions against
1336
01:20:09,640 –> 01:20:13,359
terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty. Such views are
1337
01:20:13,399 –> 01:20:16,880
indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations. It
1338
01:20:17,039 –> 01:20:19,720
is also wrong for mister Sware to call our government
1339
01:20:19,840 –> 01:20:23,760
and military weak. Shaikh Armored Abu bak arm A mood Gumi,
1340
01:20:23,840 –> 01:20:26,760
in a statement titled the Symbolism of the U S
1341
01:20:26,840 –> 01:20:30,640
Strike he shared on his verified Facebook account when he
1342
01:20:30,760 –> 01:20:33,359
reshared the news link of a post published by c
1343
01:20:33,600 –> 01:20:38,319
n N on Friday, said annihilating terrorists is an Islamic obligation.
1344
01:20:39,239 –> 01:20:42,600
The prophet Peace be upon him wished he annihilated them.
1345
01:20:43,119 –> 01:20:46,039
He said, should I live till they appear, I would
1346
01:20:46,119 –> 01:20:48,119
kill them as the killing of the nation of ad
1347
01:20:49,039 –> 01:20:52,399
al Bukhari and Muslim. This said, it should only be
1348
01:20:52,520 –> 01:20:56,399
carried out by cleaning holy hands, not by another terrorist
1349
01:20:56,479 –> 01:20:58,720
whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of
1350
01:20:58,800 –> 01:21:02,680
thousands of innocent ch children, women and men just recently.
1351
01:21:03,520 –> 01:21:07,359
This is the mistake Nigeria has made. Terrorists don’t fight
1352
01:21:07,520 –> 01:21:10,880
terrorists in truth. They may only kill innocent people and
1353
01:21:11,000 –> 01:21:15,520
have ulterior motives behind the drama of fighting terror As
1354
01:21:15,600 –> 01:21:18,479
a principle, no nation should allow its land to be
1355
01:21:18,560 –> 01:21:21,920
a theater of war, and no nation should allow its
1356
01:21:21,960 –> 01:21:26,840
neighbors to be their enemies. If Nigeria wants military assistance. China,
1357
01:21:27,239 –> 01:21:31,399
Turkey and Pakistan can do the job effectively. The U
1358
01:21:31,560 –> 01:21:36,479
s involvement in Nigeria will attract the real anti US forces,
1359
01:21:36,960 –> 01:21:40,359
making our land the theater of war. The user’s involvement
1360
01:21:40,439 –> 01:21:46,039
in Nigeria, citing coming to protect Christians, will ultimately polarize
1361
01:21:46,079 –> 01:21:50,199
our nation and infringe on our sovereignty. Nigeria should halt
1362
01:21:50,279 –> 01:21:54,279
all military cooperation with the USA immediately because of its
1363
01:21:54,319 –> 01:21:57,960
imperial tendencies worldwide, and seek the help of those neutral
1364
01:21:58,039 –> 01:22:02,359
countries mentioned. Ninigerians are too educated to be played with.
1365
01:22:02,920 –> 01:22:07,399
This is going to be a twenty twenty seven campaign discourse. Meanwhile,
1366
01:22:07,760 –> 01:22:10,439
dropping a few bombs here and there cannot tackle the
1367
01:22:10,520 –> 01:22:14,359
menace of terror. They need serious military on the ground, which,
1368
01:22:14,840 –> 01:22:17,520
if we are serious, we have enough men to do that.
1369
01:22:18,479 –> 01:22:21,640
We call on all villages affected to upload videos and
1370
01:22:21,760 –> 01:22:25,960
pictures of any casualties involved. The attacks are symbolic of
1371
01:22:26,039 –> 01:22:30,760
a harbor geneo crusade war against Islam. Attack on Socoto
1372
01:22:31,159 –> 01:22:34,439
where ninety percent a Muslim with no imminent danger of terror,
1373
01:22:34,840 –> 01:22:37,000
while the real threat is in Maidaguri and on a
1374
01:22:37,079 –> 01:22:40,840
Christmas Eve, with the claim of protecting against Christian genocide,
1375
01:22:41,239 –> 01:22:44,760
says a lot. We believe the terror is manufactured and
1376
01:22:44,880 –> 01:22:48,399
sustained by the same people claiming to fight it. A
1377
01:22:48,560 –> 01:22:52,359
word is enough for the wise. According to Channel’s Television,
1378
01:22:52,800 –> 01:22:56,119
the Nigeria government said President Bola Tanubu gave the go
1379
01:22:56,279 –> 01:22:58,920
ahead for the U S strikes against terrorists in the
1380
01:22:59,000 –> 01:23:04,600
country’s northwest region. Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Tugger said this
1381
01:23:04,760 –> 01:23:08,159
on Friday, hours after the U S Department of War
1382
01:23:08,279 –> 01:23:11,600
and President Donald Trump announced the North American nation had
1383
01:23:11,680 –> 01:23:15,800
conducted strikes against the terrorists. Now that the US is
1384
01:23:15,920 –> 01:23:19,119
co operating, we would do it jointly and we would
1385
01:23:19,159 –> 01:23:23,039
insure just as the President emphasized yesterday before he gave
1386
01:23:23,119 –> 01:23:25,439
the go ahead, that it must be made clear that
1387
01:23:25,560 –> 01:23:28,239
it is a joint operation and it is not targeting
1388
01:23:28,319 –> 01:23:31,199
any religion, nor simply in the name of one religion
1389
01:23:31,359 –> 01:23:35,319
or the other. The minister said on channel’s televisions Sunrise Daily.
1390
01:23:36,119 –> 01:23:38,920
We are a multi religious country and we are working
1391
01:23:39,039 –> 01:23:42,119
with partners like the US to fight terrorism and safeguard
1392
01:23:42,199 –> 01:23:46,399
the lives and properties of Nigerians. The minister said. Some
1393
01:23:46,680 –> 01:23:49,359
have viewed the strikes as a violation of the country’s
1394
01:23:49,479 –> 01:23:53,159
territorial integrity, but Tuger says the federal government would not
1395
01:23:53,319 –> 01:23:57,359
take any actions that would violate the country’s sovereignty. Om
1396
01:23:57,479 –> 01:24:01,000
Ale Saware reacted and said, I have read reports that
1397
01:24:01,079 –> 01:24:04,880
the United States government launched a tax on Nigerian soil
1398
01:24:05,000 –> 01:24:08,039
on Christmas Day, as announced by Donald Trump and the
1399
01:24:08,199 –> 01:24:12,680
U S Secretary of War, Peter Hegseth, purportedly targeting terrorist
1400
01:24:12,760 –> 01:24:17,199
groups within Nigeria. Although the Nigerian government now claims it
1401
01:24:17,399 –> 01:24:20,479
was aware and describes the operation as a joint effort
1402
01:24:20,560 –> 01:24:24,439
with vague international partners, it is evident that the strikes
1403
01:24:24,479 –> 01:24:27,880
were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent
1404
01:24:28,039 –> 01:24:32,560
of the weaklings masquerading as government under Assawajubola Ahmed Tenubu.
1405
01:24:33,399 –> 01:24:37,039
My position remains unchanged. Judging by the nature of the
1406
01:24:37,119 –> 01:24:40,399
confirmed strike on a village in Sokoto, it is clear
1407
01:24:40,479 –> 01:24:43,920
that the U S President, under whose authority this operation occurred,
1408
01:24:44,000 –> 01:24:48,920
neither understands nor genuinely cares about Nigeria or Nigerians. It
1409
01:24:49,079 –> 01:24:53,640
is deeply troubling that Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, lacks
1410
01:24:53,720 –> 01:24:57,000
the capable and sovereign leadership required to protect its people
1411
01:24:57,039 –> 01:25:00,520
and its territory. As a result, the the country has
1412
01:25:00,600 –> 01:25:03,840
been reduced to a bystander while its sovereignty is violated
1413
01:25:03,960 –> 01:25:07,000
under the direction of U. S President Donald J. Trump.
1414
01:25:07,800 –> 01:25:12,520
I reiterate only true, tested and informed leadership can protect
1415
01:25:12,640 –> 01:25:17,680
Nigerian’s not imperiled. Jaurnice Neo conservatives operating from Washington. D
1416
01:25:17,840 –> 01:25:23,199
C Reno Omicrie, in a statement titled addressing Armiele Saare’s
1417
01:25:23,239 –> 01:25:27,479
statements on Nigeria’s sovereignty, said, I am afraid I will
1418
01:25:27,520 –> 01:25:30,920
have to disagree with mister Omiele Sware and others like
1419
01:25:31,039 –> 01:25:34,399
him who are misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent
1420
01:25:34,520 –> 01:25:39,760
actions against terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty. Such
1421
01:25:39,880 –> 01:25:43,439
views are indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations.
1422
01:25:44,279 –> 01:25:48,119
Please fact check me. Larger and older nations than Nigeria,
1423
01:25:48,560 –> 01:25:50,880
which I would not want to mention out of respect
1424
01:25:50,960 –> 01:25:53,760
for these countries and the governments have asked for and
1425
01:25:53,880 –> 01:25:59,239
received direct international and foreign military assistance intervention, specifically from
1426
01:25:59,279 –> 01:26:03,279
the United States and other countries when dealing with terrorists
1427
01:26:03,359 –> 01:26:07,399
operating within their borders, especially when those belligerents are mobile
1428
01:26:07,479 –> 01:26:11,159
and have embedded themselves. So close to innocent civilian populations
1429
01:26:11,239 –> 01:26:14,239
that it would be difficult to use conventional means against
1430
01:26:14,279 –> 01:26:18,279
them without harming law abiding citizens. While I would not
1431
01:26:18,439 –> 01:26:22,520
want to identify these nations, journalists and interested members of
1432
01:26:22,600 –> 01:26:25,479
the public can use Google or other AI tools to
1433
01:26:25,640 –> 01:26:29,279
help reveal them. It is also wrong for mister Saware
1434
01:26:29,479 –> 01:26:33,119
to call our government and military week for his education.
1435
01:26:33,680 –> 01:26:36,479
Mister Saware may want to know that Nigeria has a
1436
01:26:36,560 –> 01:26:40,439
better military record than most nations and has decisively brought
1437
01:26:40,520 –> 01:26:44,159
peace and stabilized several countries, beginning from the Congo in
1438
01:26:44,279 –> 01:26:48,399
nineteen sixty to Tanzania in nineteen sixty four, to Lebanon
1439
01:26:48,439 –> 01:26:51,439
in nineteen seventy eight, and then via Ecomogue in the
1440
01:26:51,560 –> 01:26:57,039
Mano River Region, Liberia, Sierra Leone, et cetera between nineteen
1441
01:26:57,199 –> 01:27:00,800
ninety one and two thousand and six. All military has
1442
01:27:00,880 –> 01:27:05,319
also helped restore democratically elected governments in places like Sautome
1443
01:27:05,560 –> 01:27:09,960
and Principia and others. When Nigeria’s armed forces intervened in
1444
01:27:10,079 –> 01:27:12,920
those nations, they did not tamper with or in any
1445
01:27:12,960 –> 01:27:16,119
way weaken the sovereignty of those countries or the governments.
1446
01:27:17,000 –> 01:27:20,399
In fact, we were invited either by the countries themselves,
1447
01:27:20,760 –> 01:27:25,640
the United Nations or regional bodies. The Nigerian Armed Forces
1448
01:27:25,800 –> 01:27:29,119
have a sterling military record as a dependable fighting unit.
1449
01:27:29,960 –> 01:27:34,520
In fact, due to their superior training, Nigerian military personnel
1450
01:27:34,640 –> 01:27:38,840
have served as chiefs of army staff in other nations. However,
1451
01:27:39,359 –> 01:27:42,079
when you are fighting cowardly terrorists that weave in and
1452
01:27:42,159 –> 01:27:45,279
out of civilian populations, you need the help of those
1453
01:27:45,399 –> 01:27:50,119
with precision targeting capabilities. What mister Saware and others like
1454
01:27:50,239 –> 01:27:52,399
him may not be aware of is that no single
1455
01:27:52,520 –> 01:27:56,199
nation has ever defeated terror on its own. It takes
1456
01:27:56,239 –> 01:28:00,720
international effort. Mister Sawar has himself admitted recipes leaving funding
1457
01:28:00,800 –> 01:28:05,079
from multiple U S funding agencies. Based on his admission,
1458
01:28:05,399 –> 01:28:07,960
should that mean he is a foreign puppet unfit to
1459
01:28:08,000 –> 01:28:12,520
aspire to leadership in Nigeria, of course not. If Omielee
1460
01:28:12,600 –> 01:28:15,840
Saware and others like him have anger over what has happened,
1461
01:28:16,199 –> 01:28:18,600
please let it be directed at the terrorists and their
1462
01:28:18,680 –> 01:28:22,239
sponsors who have killed many Nigerians of all faiths and
1463
01:28:22,359 –> 01:28:26,720
ethnicities and disrupted communities while preventing honest and hard working
1464
01:28:26,840 –> 01:28:31,640
Nigerians from going about their lawful activities. Projecting anger at
1465
01:28:31,680 –> 01:28:34,880
anything that will bring relief and succor to those Nigerians
1466
01:28:35,000 –> 01:28:38,600
most affected by terror is not patriotic, no matter how
1467
01:28:38,680 –> 01:28:41,920
much some try to cloak it in such terms. The
1468
01:28:42,039 –> 01:28:45,640
priority is to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians
1469
01:28:45,720 –> 01:28:49,640
by any legal and moral means necessary and possible. If
1470
01:28:50,000 –> 01:28:53,920
indeed people have any influence at all, that sway should
1471
01:28:53,960 –> 01:28:56,960
not be used to cause dissension and turn some Nigerians
1472
01:28:57,039 –> 01:29:00,600
against their leaders. Rather, it should be used to get
1473
01:29:00,680 –> 01:29:03,960
those terrorists to turn a new leaf, drop their weapons,
1474
01:29:04,239 –> 01:29:08,439
embrace peace, and show fidelity to the Nigerian flag and constitution.
1475
01:29:09,399 –> 01:29:19,520
May God bless Nigeria. While many Nigerians were asleep after
1476
01:29:19,560 –> 01:29:24,079
the twenty twenty five Christmas celebration, the United States US
1477
01:29:24,199 –> 01:29:27,840
warship moved close and took position in the Territorial Africa
1478
01:29:27,920 –> 01:29:30,880
Waters then launched missiles at the dead of the night
1479
01:29:31,000 –> 01:29:35,079
on Thursday into areas predominantly dominated by the Lacqua were
1480
01:29:35,239 –> 01:29:39,279
terrorists in the nigeria north western state of Sokoto, with
1481
01:29:39,439 –> 01:29:42,680
President Donald Trump saying many of the terrorists were killed,
1482
01:29:43,000 –> 01:29:46,560
but the Islamic State of Arakan, Syria ISIS in the
1483
01:29:46,640 –> 01:29:49,560
West Africa Province, is yet to issue a statement over
1484
01:29:49,640 –> 01:29:52,920
the air strikes on the Lacquarawa camps in Sokoto. The
1485
01:29:53,079 –> 01:29:56,960
armed group that is affiliated with the Islamic State Sahil Province,
1486
01:29:57,039 –> 01:30:00,479
operating in Mali, Nijay and the Nigeria u Kebbi and
1487
01:30:00,560 –> 01:30:04,920
Sokato States, whose activities are mostly observed in five local
1488
01:30:05,039 –> 01:30:10,319
government areas of Tangasa, Gudu, Alala, Binji and Salame in
1489
01:30:10,439 –> 01:30:14,399
Sokato State. This some residents at Jabo Village in the
1490
01:30:14,479 –> 01:30:19,159
Tambul Local government area of Sokato State posted videos online
1491
01:30:19,239 –> 01:30:22,600
to indicate that some components used in making the missiles
1492
01:30:22,680 –> 01:30:25,800
fell on a farmland in the Jabo village. The videos
1493
01:30:25,880 –> 01:30:29,039
showed a lot of the villages, mostly younger ones, holding
1494
01:30:29,199 –> 01:30:32,199
phones with touch light on recording the scene of the
1495
01:30:32,279 –> 01:30:35,079
burning parts of one of the missiles in the farmland,
1496
01:30:35,479 –> 01:30:38,239
while some took a closer camera angle shot of some
1497
01:30:38,399 –> 01:30:42,800
of the components that have manufacturing inscriptions, dates and brand labels.
1498
01:30:43,600 –> 01:30:46,159
The U s Africa Command, in a statement a few
1499
01:30:46,239 –> 01:30:49,720
hours ago, said that the direction of the President of
1500
01:30:49,800 –> 01:30:52,800
the United States and the Secretary of War, and in
1501
01:30:52,920 –> 01:30:57,840
coordination with Nigerian authorities, U s Africa Command conducted strikes
1502
01:30:57,880 –> 01:31:01,920
against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on December twenty fifth, twenty
1503
01:31:02,000 –> 01:31:07,159
twenty five, in Soccoto State. President Donald Trump, while announcing
1504
01:31:07,239 –> 01:31:10,520
the military action through his Truth social media platform on
1505
01:31:10,680 –> 01:31:15,520
Thursday night, said, Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief,
1506
01:31:15,880 –> 01:31:19,239
the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against
1507
01:31:19,319 –> 01:31:23,640
ISIS terrorists scum in northwest Nigeria who have been targeting
1508
01:31:23,720 –> 01:31:28,239
and viciously killing primarily innocent Christians at levels not seen
1509
01:31:28,319 –> 01:31:32,800
for many years and even centuries. I have previously warned
1510
01:31:32,840 –> 01:31:35,720
these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering
1511
01:31:35,800 –> 01:31:38,520
of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and to
1512
01:31:38,680 –> 01:31:43,960
night there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes,
1513
01:31:44,319 –> 01:31:47,960
as only the United States is capable of doing. Under
1514
01:31:48,039 –> 01:31:51,920
my leadership, our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism
1515
01:31:52,000 –> 01:31:56,119
to prosper. May God bless our military, and Merry Christmas
1516
01:31:56,199 –> 01:31:59,319
to all, including the dead terrorists, of which there will
1517
01:31:59,359 –> 01:32:03,800
be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues. Peter Hegsath,
1518
01:32:04,079 –> 01:32:07,159
the U S Secretary of War, reiterated the U S
1519
01:32:07,319 –> 01:32:11,239
president announcement in a tweet, saying the President was clear
1520
01:32:11,319 –> 01:32:14,840
last month the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria and
1521
01:32:15,000 –> 01:32:19,399
elsewhere must end. The Department of War is always ready,
1522
01:32:19,720 –> 01:32:23,800
so isis found out tonight on Christmas. More to come
1523
01:32:24,279 –> 01:32:29,199
grateful for Nigerian government support and cooperation. Merry Christmas. On
1524
01:32:29,399 –> 01:32:34,439
November twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, Peter Hegsath had said, Yes, sir,
1525
01:32:35,279 –> 01:32:39,600
the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria and anywhere must
1526
01:32:39,760 –> 01:32:43,800
end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action.
1527
01:32:44,399 –> 01:32:48,239
Either the Nigerian government protects Christians or we will kill
1528
01:32:48,319 –> 01:32:53,439
the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. Bulama Bukati,
1529
01:32:53,880 –> 01:32:57,439
a lawyer and social commentator, treated in reaction. But I’m
1530
01:32:57,439 –> 01:33:00,000
pleased to see that President Trump appears to have left
1531
01:33:00,359 –> 01:33:03,039
to our concerns back in November and worked with the
1532
01:33:03,159 –> 01:33:07,960
Nigerian government rather than acting unilaterally the US. Their strikes
1533
01:33:08,000 –> 01:33:11,920
reportedly took place in Sokoto State, suggesting they targeted the
1534
01:33:12,000 –> 01:33:16,560
Lacquero A group, which has become increasingly lethal. Strikes against
1535
01:33:16,600 –> 01:33:19,399
the group are a welcome development as they can help
1536
01:33:19,439 –> 01:33:24,640
degrade its leadership and logistical capacity. This is especially positive
1537
01:33:24,720 –> 01:33:27,560
given that the operation was carried out with the consent
1538
01:33:27,720 –> 01:33:31,680
and co operation of the Nigerian government. We had reported
1539
01:33:31,720 –> 01:33:35,119
in early November twenty twenty five that President Donald Trump
1540
01:33:35,239 –> 01:33:38,039
of the United States of America has placed U S
1541
01:33:38,199 –> 01:33:42,119
Soldiers on read alert for possible war in Nigeria. According
1542
01:33:42,159 –> 01:33:45,359
to President Trump, the U S. Department of War should
1543
01:33:45,359 –> 01:33:49,199
prepare U S troops for possible military action in Nigeria.
1544
01:33:49,319 –> 01:33:53,239
If the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians,
1545
01:33:53,680 –> 01:33:56,359
the U S. Troops may very well go into that
1546
01:33:56,479 –> 01:34:00,239
now disgraced country guns ablazing to completely wipe o the
1547
01:34:00,319 –> 01:34:05,159
Islamic terrorists who were committing these horrible atrocities. This President
1548
01:34:05,239 –> 01:34:09,479
Trump issued on Saturday evening, in line with Greenwich Meridian time,
1549
01:34:09,680 –> 01:34:14,159
after President Boler Hmed Tanubu personally signed a statement rejecting
1550
01:34:14,319 –> 01:34:18,319
trump earlier claim on Friday the Christians are being targeted
1551
01:34:18,399 –> 01:34:23,079
and killed in Nigeria. Although President Bola Hmed Tanubu disagreed
1552
01:34:23,159 –> 01:34:26,279
with Trump, who had described the high level of insecurity
1553
01:34:26,439 –> 01:34:31,159
in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians,
1554
01:34:31,560 –> 01:34:35,119
but some Nigerians quickly took to the comment section of
1555
01:34:35,199 –> 01:34:39,600
President boler Armed Tanubu post on ex social media platform
1556
01:34:39,920 –> 01:34:42,960
and pasted a screenshot of a tweek published by President
1557
01:34:43,079 –> 01:34:48,279
boler Armed Tanubu on January twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, wherein
1558
01:34:48,760 –> 01:34:53,079
President Bola Hmed Tanubu apparently had long accepted and agreed
1559
01:34:53,159 –> 01:34:57,199
that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly a religious war
1560
01:34:57,319 –> 01:35:01,640
against Christians in the West Africa country. Verbatim, In the tweet,
1561
01:35:02,039 –> 01:35:06,439
Tinubu said, the slaughtering of Christian worshipers is strongly condemnable.
1562
01:35:06,800 –> 01:35:10,199
It calls to question the competence of Jonathan then President
1563
01:35:10,279 –> 01:35:14,479
of Nigeria to protect Nigerians. This old statement by President
1564
01:35:14,560 –> 01:35:18,680
Bolahmed Tenubu indicated that President Donald Trump of the United
1565
01:35:18,760 –> 01:35:21,439
States of America may not be the first person to
1566
01:35:21,520 –> 01:35:25,279
describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against
1567
01:35:25,399 –> 01:35:35,960
Christian communities in the West Africa country. Quindi in an
1568
01:35:36,000 –> 01:35:39,720
effort to challenge and prove wrong the statement of Harrison Guamnieshu,
1569
01:35:40,119 –> 01:35:44,319
a well known civilian volunteer assisting Nigeria security operatives with
1570
01:35:44,439 –> 01:35:47,399
intelligence information that has led to the arrest and killing
1571
01:35:47,479 –> 01:35:52,439
of suspected kidnappers in gun battle that he Harrison Gwamlishu
1572
01:35:52,600 –> 01:35:55,560
was never arrested or charged to called by the Nigeria
1573
01:35:55,680 –> 01:35:59,560
Police force over the five point four million nyers he
1574
01:35:59,600 –> 01:36:03,560
allegedly removed from the twenty million nyrous ransom he was
1575
01:36:03,680 –> 01:36:07,159
contracted to handover to the kidnappers for the release and
1576
01:36:07,319 –> 01:36:11,000
rescue of the married couple kidnapped in Avilli community in
1577
01:36:11,079 –> 01:36:14,920
the Etxico West Local Government area of Edo State. In
1578
01:36:15,039 –> 01:36:19,520
late November twenty twenty five, a leading Nigeria social media
1579
01:36:19,720 –> 01:36:25,000
influencer and human rights activist, Martin’s Vincent Tots aka Veri Dukman,
1580
01:36:25,079 –> 01:36:28,159
on Tuesday night, took to his social media pages and
1581
01:36:28,279 –> 01:36:32,920
presented an apparent questionable court document, probably with malicious intent
1582
01:36:33,039 –> 01:36:36,720
to manipulate and mislead unsuspecting members of the public inadat
1583
01:36:36,760 –> 01:36:40,399
to malign the character of Harrison Guamoschue. This In the
1584
01:36:40,479 –> 01:36:44,279
court document presented by Veri Duckman, the alleged charge serial
1585
01:36:44,399 –> 01:36:47,159
numbers were covered with the colored inc No date of
1586
01:36:47,279 –> 01:36:50,399
court sitting was written on the court document. The document
1587
01:36:50,520 –> 01:36:53,720
indicated that the alleged three count charges were drafted and
1588
01:36:53,880 –> 01:36:57,319
signed on the eighteenth of December twenty twenty five, a
1589
01:36:57,439 –> 01:37:00,399
day before Harrison Guamershue was asked to go go home
1590
01:37:00,479 –> 01:37:04,520
from the police custody. On December nineteenth, twenty twenty five,
1591
01:37:04,800 –> 01:37:08,359
while awaiting the advice of the Department of Public Prosecutor
1592
01:37:08,680 –> 01:37:12,319
DPP on the matter and the apparent fraudulent court document
1593
01:37:12,479 –> 01:37:15,600
did not show the officer or the person responsible for
1594
01:37:15,720 –> 01:37:19,960
the court count charges and Veridargman, apparently in a manipulative manner,
1595
01:37:20,039 –> 01:37:22,600
did not show the full signature and any name of
1596
01:37:22,680 –> 01:37:27,520
the officer who authored the alleged court charges. Veredargmann claimed
1597
01:37:27,520 –> 01:37:31,159
in the video that the prosecutor wanted Harrison Guamashue jailed
1598
01:37:31,239 –> 01:37:34,239
for six months, but the judge he identified as Justice
1599
01:37:34,359 –> 01:37:38,920
Ettinosa Adcombie, allegedly on her personal consideration because of the
1600
01:37:39,000 –> 01:37:42,319
Chrisman and New Year’s season and public intervention, decided to
1601
01:37:42,399 –> 01:37:46,960
grant Harrison Guamashue bail. Harrison Guamashu says he was never
1602
01:37:47,119 –> 01:37:50,119
arrested by the police or charge to court as speculated
1603
01:37:50,159 –> 01:37:53,199
in the public spaces over the five point four million
1604
01:37:53,319 –> 01:37:56,479
niers he allegedly removed out of the twenty million nyira’s
1605
01:37:56,560 –> 01:37:59,479
ransom he was given to handover to kidnappers and as
1606
01:37:59,560 –> 01:38:01,680
well a p carently used the money as a bake
1607
01:38:01,800 –> 01:38:04,880
to stage sting operation for the release and rescue of
1608
01:38:04,960 –> 01:38:08,319
the husband and wife simply identified as mister and Missus
1609
01:38:08,399 –> 01:38:12,239
Ibrahim kidnapped in Avili community in the Exico West Local
1610
01:38:12,359 –> 01:38:16,760
government area of Edo State, which generated public reactions after
1611
01:38:16,840 –> 01:38:19,840
the kidnappers set free the wife and kept the husband
1612
01:38:19,920 –> 01:38:22,439
in captivity on the ground that the money given to
1613
01:38:22,520 –> 01:38:25,760
them was not complete, and some persons who have access
1614
01:38:25,840 –> 01:38:29,760
to the apparent sensitive security information went public to create
1615
01:38:29,840 –> 01:38:33,199
an impression as if Harrison Gwamnoshue stole part of the
1616
01:38:33,319 –> 01:38:37,000
ransom money, even when Harrison Guamashue explained to them that
1617
01:38:37,079 –> 01:38:40,119
it is part of his operational procedures to remove some
1618
01:38:40,319 –> 01:38:43,880
cash from the ransom money. His explanation apparently went on
1619
01:38:44,079 –> 01:38:47,039
deaf ears and people who may be best described as
1620
01:38:47,119 –> 01:38:50,640
mischief makers took advantage of the issue to call Harrison
1621
01:38:50,720 –> 01:38:54,359
Guamoshue names and reopen his alleged past deeds in a
1622
01:38:54,399 –> 01:38:57,760
prejudiced manner to cast dispersions on him, even when they
1623
01:38:57,840 –> 01:39:00,720
knew that Harrison Guamnashu has a low long history with
1624
01:39:00,920 –> 01:39:05,640
video evidences of assisting security operatives to rescue kidnapped victims,
1625
01:39:05,680 –> 01:39:08,720
and in some cases the total money paid as ransom
1626
01:39:08,760 –> 01:39:11,439
were recovered and returned to the victim’s families and the
1627
01:39:11,520 –> 01:39:14,600
sting operation usually leads to the killing and arrest of
1628
01:39:14,640 –> 01:39:18,960
the suspected kidnappers. This according to Harrison Gwamnershu in a
1629
01:39:19,039 –> 01:39:22,720
statement he issued through his verified Facebook accounts some hours ago,
1630
01:39:23,319 –> 01:39:26,439
he was the one who personally submitted himself voluntarily to
1631
01:39:26,520 –> 01:39:30,399
the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police forced to
1632
01:39:30,560 –> 01:39:33,439
enable the police investigate his action. That he never had
1633
01:39:33,479 –> 01:39:36,039
the intention of stealing the money and his action of
1634
01:39:36,159 –> 01:39:38,920
removing some money from the ransom was part of his
1635
01:39:39,079 –> 01:39:43,720
usual operational procedures, adding that the police never charged him
1636
01:39:43,760 –> 01:39:46,399
to court and while in self detention with the police,
1637
01:39:46,800 –> 01:39:49,800
he became the cell president and he facilitated the release
1638
01:39:49,880 –> 01:39:53,239
of four persons who were probably arrested and detained by
1639
01:39:53,319 –> 01:39:56,479
the police unjustly for a crime the beneficiaries may know
1640
01:39:56,640 –> 01:40:00,600
nothing about. And a video posted online by Harrison Guamashu
1641
01:40:00,720 –> 01:40:03,720
on Monday night showed he arrived home to the waiting
1642
01:40:03,840 –> 01:40:06,399
hands of his elderly mother, who was seen in the
1643
01:40:06,520 –> 01:40:10,399
video singing, dancing with other family members, friends and well
1644
01:40:10,479 –> 01:40:13,840
wishes and screaming loud with joy while using one of
1645
01:40:13,920 –> 01:40:17,720
her hands to caress the chest of her son. Harrison Guamashu,
1646
01:40:17,880 –> 01:40:20,039
during which she said a lot of prayers in her
1647
01:40:20,119 –> 01:40:24,359
local dialect. We had reported that the Nigeria Police Force
1648
01:40:24,520 –> 01:40:28,399
under the leadership of IGP car Yode Eggbetoken, has kept
1649
01:40:28,520 –> 01:40:31,880
months since reports indicated that the U S trained Private
1650
01:40:31,960 –> 01:40:36,439
Intelligent Officer Harrison Guamashu, who was invited to facilitate the
1651
01:40:36,560 –> 01:40:40,479
rescue of a married couple husband and wife simply identified
1652
01:40:40,560 –> 01:40:43,960
as mister and Missus Ibraheim, that was kidnapped since late
1653
01:40:44,079 –> 01:40:47,560
November at their home in Avil Community, a village near
1654
01:40:47,680 –> 01:40:52,399
Auchipolytechnic in the Etseco West Local government area of Edo State,
1655
01:40:52,560 –> 01:40:55,640
has been arrested and remanded to prison by a court
1656
01:40:55,760 –> 01:40:59,760
sitting in Benin City, the Edo State capital, over allegations
1657
01:40:59,760 –> 01:41:03,760
the US the Private Intelligent Officer Harrison Gwamnshue underpaid the
1658
01:41:03,880 –> 01:41:06,479
ransom money given to him to give to the kidnappers
1659
01:41:06,560 –> 01:41:09,920
to rescue the married couple in captivity. The reports of
1660
01:41:10,000 –> 01:41:14,079
Harrison Gwamershue’s arrest and subsequent remand to prison custody became
1661
01:41:14,199 –> 01:41:19,479
widespread after a popular Nigeria social media activist, Vincent Martin Zotts,
1662
01:41:19,520 –> 01:41:22,520
in a video statement on Friday morning, alleged that he
1663
01:41:22,600 –> 01:41:26,880
has facilitated the arrest of the private Intelligent officer Harrison
1664
01:41:26,920 –> 01:41:31,079
Guamashue for allegedly removing five point four million Narus from
1665
01:41:31,159 –> 01:41:34,039
the total amount given to him by the victim’s family
1666
01:41:34,159 –> 01:41:37,479
to help pay as ransom to the kidnappers. This occurred
1667
01:41:37,840 –> 01:41:42,039
after the sting operations Guamneshue had prepared the ransom money
1668
01:41:42,119 –> 01:41:46,119
for was probably aborted after a man whose real names
1669
01:41:46,239 –> 01:41:50,319
may be oshiurimhe joined the segeme elaked, revealed and exposed
1670
01:41:50,359 –> 01:41:54,600
the plans sensitive security information online. According to the suspect
1671
01:41:54,640 –> 01:41:58,520
who leaked out the sensitive security operational plans of Guamneshue,
1672
01:41:58,880 –> 01:42:01,880
Harrison Guamashu n never told the family he was going
1673
01:42:02,000 –> 01:42:05,319
to remove some money from the ransom that the kidnappers said.
1674
01:42:05,359 –> 01:42:08,479
The money was not complete, hence only the wife was released.
1675
01:42:08,840 –> 01:42:11,880
The man still held in captivity due to the incomplete
1676
01:42:11,960 –> 01:42:15,920
ransom payment. The suspect, oshurimade job at Segame, in a
1677
01:42:16,039 –> 01:42:19,079
video recorded statement, stated that he was the one that
1678
01:42:19,199 –> 01:42:22,960
helped facilitate the service of Harrison Guamnashu when the family
1679
01:42:23,039 –> 01:42:26,319
of the kidnapped victims requested for it. The action of
1680
01:42:26,399 –> 01:42:29,880
the suspect may have prompted Harrison Guamnaschue to abort them
1681
01:42:30,199 –> 01:42:34,079
sting operations obviously for the safety of his personal life
1682
01:42:34,199 –> 01:42:38,199
and the lives of Nigeria soldiers and other security operatives
1683
01:42:38,279 –> 01:42:41,720
he does use to execute and complete his sting operations
1684
01:42:41,840 –> 01:42:44,800
against kidnappers, which often leads to the killing of the
1685
01:42:44,920 –> 01:42:48,159
kidnappers and recovering of the total ransom paid for the
1686
01:42:48,239 –> 01:42:52,359
purpose of clarity. Sting operations is a deceptive practice and
1687
01:42:52,520 –> 01:42:57,079
undercover tactics used by journalist or intelligent officer or security
1688
01:42:57,199 –> 01:43:00,800
operative to get closer to a suspected criminal or criminals
1689
01:43:00,920 –> 01:43:03,479
in order to be more familiar with the criminals and
1690
01:43:03,560 –> 01:43:07,279
the environment they operate and the deceptive practice may include
1691
01:43:07,319 –> 01:43:11,279
the journalist or intelligent officer or security operative pretending to
1692
01:43:11,359 –> 01:43:14,159
give ransom money to kidnappers in a manner that can
1693
01:43:14,279 –> 01:43:17,600
cause a delay and proper assessment of the environment before
1694
01:43:17,640 –> 01:43:22,199
them security troops may launch offensive attack against the criminals.
1695
01:43:22,680 –> 01:43:25,720
The action of a segame of leaking out sensitive security
1696
01:43:25,840 –> 01:43:28,920
information may be of interest. Why Nigeria’s soldiers and other
1697
01:43:29,000 –> 01:43:32,520
security operatives are being killed in large numbers whenever in
1698
01:43:32,680 –> 01:43:36,079
previous and recent years, the Nigeria security troops are on
1699
01:43:36,199 –> 01:43:39,920
rescue missions, including the recent mass killing of soldiers along
1700
01:43:40,000 –> 01:43:43,760
with Brigadier General Uber Musa and civilian JTF members of
1701
01:43:43,840 –> 01:43:46,800
Wujeroco village in Borno State by criminals.
1702
01:44:00,239 –> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 10: Or also, that’s demonic iful, very dark man, that’s wicked,
1703
01:44:07,000 –> 01:44:12,079
very that way. It’s about to do his demonic evil, wicked, envious,
1704
01:44:12,279 –> 01:44:14,399
jealous things that he usually does.
1705
01:44:15,039 –> 01:44:19,079
Speaker 8: But guess what, it always comes with truth. And you
1706
01:44:19,199 –> 01:44:21,920
all know you can’t take that away from you, don’t
1707
01:44:21,960 –> 01:44:24,079
matter your acquisition. You know the truth.
1708
01:44:25,039 –> 01:44:28,520
Speaker 10: And you can’t keep his video either, that’s the law.
1709
01:44:29,039 –> 01:44:31,319
You can accuse pushing awaited, but you can never skip
1710
01:44:31,399 –> 01:44:31,800
his video.
1711
01:44:32,159 –> 01:44:33,359
Speaker 8: So see down with Muna.
1712
01:44:33,479 –> 01:44:36,880

1713
01:44:37,680 –> 01:44:39,319
And then he said, let’s keep.
1714
01:44:39,199 –> 01:44:40,159
Speaker 8: To the important part.
1715
01:44:40,319 –> 01:44:45,960

01:49:22,399 –> 01:49:25,279
person before they are scared that tomorrow might be they

01:49:25,359 –> 01:49:25,720

1793
01:49:26,119 –> 01:49:28,560
Speaker 8: You know, they’ll just god that. It’s like a it’s
1794
01:49:28,640 –> 01:49:31,039
like a group. You understand. They have a group of
1795
01:49:31,159 –> 01:49:34,279

There’s what I do. I call it the truth.
1800
01:49:47,039 –> 01:49:50,680
Speaker 10: Wold I put the truth hold on your personality. You
1801
01:49:50,800 –> 01:49:53,000
might not go to prison, you might not go to jail.
1802
01:49:53,560 –> 01:49:55,239
But there’s that’s doubts idea.
1803
01:49:55,840 –> 01:49:57,039
Speaker 8: If I put a problem.
1804
01:49:58,479 –> 01:50:02,520
Speaker 10: Before anybody takes you totally anymore, it’s going to take ages.
1805
01:50:02,920 –> 01:50:03,920
Speaker 8: We have going again started.
1806
01:50:03,960 –> 01:50:07,079
Speaker 11: I will not go bit by bit into the whole thing.
1807
01:50:07,560 –> 01:50:09,279
Speaker 10: Like I said, I would just want you to come
1808
01:50:09,359 –> 01:50:11,840
and tell the problem because nobody can believe you over
1809
01:50:12,000 –> 01:50:12,439
Very dark Man.
1810
01:50:12,479 –> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 8: It’s not mon possibly they are all lying to themselves.
1811
01:50:16,199 –> 01:50:18,479
Do you understand? And again, this is the law. Let
1812
01:50:18,520 –> 01:50:21,439
me tell you out the law. It’s my law. It’s
1813
01:50:21,520 –> 01:50:24,560
my law. When Very dark man, when you have a problem,
1814
01:50:24,720 –> 01:50:27,279
Very dark man, right, this what happens, or when there’s
1815
01:50:27,279 –> 01:50:28,119
a problem.
1816
01:50:28,279 –> 01:50:31,000
Speaker 10: When people have a problem of video, that period we
1817
01:50:31,159 –> 01:50:34,560
get a lot of engagement. After four months, the people
1818
01:50:34,640 –> 01:50:37,359
know Vidm’ is not lying. They know they just want
1819
01:50:37,439 –> 01:50:39,680
to just bullsh it vidm. But of course the dam
1820
01:50:39,720 –> 01:50:42,319
doesn’t give a four so they’ve got to support you.
1821
01:50:43,960 –> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 8: Then later they know the truths. They are going to
1822
01:50:45,760 –> 01:50:46,119
go back.
1823
01:50:47,359 –> 01:50:49,520
Speaker 17: They did it to China, Russ When is it today?
1824
01:50:49,840 –> 01:50:53,399
We start your love a few days ago? Everybody you love,
1825
01:50:53,479 –> 01:50:57,680
you can’t get no good, engage me no more.
1826
01:50:58,279 –> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 7: That’s it.
1827
01:50:58,560 –> 01:51:02,000
Speaker 8: Say something extra organ right? Do you understand?
1828
01:51:02,119 –> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 10: So when you do them, it’s come true sometimes and
1829
01:51:04,560 –> 01:51:06,319
these is things I look at them and a smile.
1830
01:51:06,720 –> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 8: Four months they know viden don’t lie. Two to the
1831
01:51:09,079 –> 01:51:13,439
more they move den don’t life? Do you understand?
1832
01:51:13,520 –> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 11: They know Vida don’t life.
1833
01:51:16,359 –> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 8: Like I said, my work sometimes is not to take
1834
01:51:18,840 –> 01:51:21,279
you to jail. No, not because I want them to arrest,
1835
01:51:21,359 –> 01:51:25,279
No simple. I just put a hole there. It’s a whole.
1836
01:51:26,039 –> 01:51:34,039
It’s called the truth. Hold in the character. Do you understand?
1837
01:51:34,359 –> 01:51:36,800
And the painful parties all of.
1838
01:51:36,880 –> 01:51:41,239
Speaker 10: You cannot do anything about it. Nobody can do anything
1839
01:51:41,359 –> 01:51:43,680
about it. This is very dark man we are talking about.
1840
01:51:45,680 –> 01:51:48,279
Speaker 8: Do you understand now your connection cannot do much.
1841
01:51:48,960 –> 01:51:52,039
Speaker 10: You bring up money. We bring that money too. You
1842
01:51:52,119 –> 01:51:54,359
can’t tell no police to go pick very dark man
1843
01:51:54,399 –> 01:51:57,079
love anymore that you have some connection. It’s not gonna
1844
01:51:57,119 –> 01:51:59,680
work unless if you’re in the government. Of course, the
1845
01:51:59,760 –> 01:52:01,720
boss and can do that. I don’t got many, but
1846
01:52:01,920 –> 01:52:05,359
no single identity. He gives me this full country. Can
1847
01:52:05,479 –> 01:52:06,560
do ship anymore.
1848
01:52:07,680 –> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 8: You can waste two hundred video and I’ll put you down.
1849
01:52:13,640 –> 01:52:18,640
You go, hi, we put money down now. I guess
1850
01:52:18,680 –> 01:52:22,920
what what people don’t know this? What’s the case is
1851
01:52:22,960 –> 01:52:25,680
in the public. I can talk about it. It’s my
1852
01:52:25,920 –> 01:52:35,000
right to talk about it. I like my new assent.
1853
01:52:37,520 –> 01:52:38,439
It’s a love don’t play.
1854
01:52:38,600 –> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 10: If you play, don’t learn, and you will learn the
1855
01:52:40,039 –> 01:52:41,880
hard way. And in this case you all will learn.
1856
01:52:41,960 –> 01:52:44,079
Like I said, I don’t make everybody look stupid. That’s
1857
01:52:44,119 –> 01:52:46,079
just what I do best. It’s a love don’t play.
1858
01:52:46,319 –> 01:52:48,319
And you all know I don’t need love from nobody.
1859
01:52:48,720 –> 01:52:50,159
You don’t use love for me nothing.
1860
01:52:53,520 –> 01:52:54,600
Speaker 11: Lady bring.
1861
01:52:57,600 –> 01:53:00,359
Speaker 1: Harrison gamer. She says he was never arrest did by
1862
01:53:00,399 –> 01:53:03,039
the police, or charged to court, as speculated in the
1863
01:53:03,119 –> 01:53:06,399
public spaces over the five point four million lyrus he
1864
01:53:06,439 –> 01:53:09,640
allegedly removed out of the twenty million lyrus ransom he
1865
01:53:09,840 –> 01:53:12,880
was given to handover to kidnappers, and as well apparently
1866
01:53:13,039 –> 01:53:16,079
used the money as abate to stage sting operation for
1867
01:53:16,199 –> 01:53:18,960
the release and rescue of the husband and white simply
1868
01:53:19,079 –> 01:53:23,159
identified as mister and Missus Ibraheim kidnapped in Avilei community
1869
01:53:23,319 –> 01:53:26,600
in the Exico West Local government area of Edo State,
1870
01:53:27,079 –> 01:53:30,840
which generated public reactions after the kidnappers set free the
1871
01:53:30,920 –> 01:53:33,840
wife and kept the husband in captivity on the ground
1872
01:53:33,920 –> 01:53:36,439
that the money given to them was not complete, and
1873
01:53:36,640 –> 01:53:40,199
some persons who have access to the apparent sensitive security
1874
01:53:40,279 –> 01:53:43,880
information went public to create an impression as if Harrison
1875
01:53:43,960 –> 01:53:47,960
Guamnershue stole part of the ransom money. Even when Harrison
1876
01:53:48,000 –> 01:53:50,479
Guamashoe explained to them that it is part of his
1877
01:53:50,640 –> 01:53:54,359
operational procedures to remove some cash from the ransom money,
1878
01:53:54,760 –> 01:53:58,279
his explanation apparently went on deaf ears and people who
1879
01:53:58,359 –> 01:54:01,399
may be best described as mischief makers took advantage of
1880
01:54:01,479 –> 01:54:04,840
the issue to call Harrison Guamashu names and reopen his
1881
01:54:04,960 –> 01:54:08,960
alleged past deeds in a prejudiced manner to cast dispersions
1882
01:54:09,039 –> 01:54:12,079
on him. Even when they knew that Harrison Guamashu has
1883
01:54:12,119 –> 01:54:16,479
a long history with video evidences of assisting security operatives
1884
01:54:16,560 –> 01:54:20,079
to rescue kidnapped victims and in some cases the total
1885
01:54:20,119 –> 01:54:22,560
money paid as ransom are recovered and returned to the
1886
01:54:22,680 –> 01:54:26,119
victim’s families and the sting operation usually leads to the
1887
01:54:26,239 –> 01:54:30,159
killing and arrest of the suspected kidnappers. This according to
1888
01:54:30,239 –> 01:54:33,920
Harrison Guamoshue in a statement he issued through his verified
1889
01:54:34,039 –> 01:54:37,199
Facebook accounts some hours ago, he was the one who
1890
01:54:37,319 –> 01:54:41,159
personally submitted himself voluntarily to the Edo State Command of
1891
01:54:41,239 –> 01:54:45,279
the Nigeria Police forced to enable the police investigate his action.
1892
01:54:45,479 –> 01:54:48,039
That he never had the intention of stealing the money
1893
01:54:48,119 –> 01:54:50,960
and his action of removing some money from the ransom
1894
01:54:51,159 –> 01:54:54,800
was part of his usual operational procedures, adding that the
1895
01:54:54,880 –> 01:54:57,600
police never charged him to court and while in self
1896
01:54:57,720 –> 01:55:00,600
detention with the police, he became the same well president
1897
01:55:00,680 –> 01:55:03,760
and he facilitated the release of four persons who were
1898
01:55:03,800 –> 01:55:07,079
probably arrested and detained by the police unjustly for a
1899
01:55:07,159 –> 01:55:10,439
crime the beneficiaries may know nothing about. And the video
1900
01:55:10,560 –> 01:55:14,640
posted online by Harrison Gwamlishu on Monday night showed he
1901
01:55:14,760 –> 01:55:17,439
arrived home to the waiting hands of his elderly mother,
1902
01:55:17,560 –> 01:55:20,520
who was seen in the video singing, dancing with other
1903
01:55:20,640 –> 01:55:24,079
family members, friends and well wishes, and screaming loud with
1904
01:55:24,239 –> 01:55:27,199
joy while using one of her hands to caress the
1905
01:55:27,319 –> 01:55:30,880
chest of her son, Harrison Gwamlishu, during which she said
1906
01:55:30,880 –> 01:55:34,800
a lot of prayers in her local dialect. In his words,
1907
01:55:35,199 –> 01:55:39,840
Harrison Guamlishu said, I did not return alone during my
1908
01:55:40,079 –> 01:55:43,720
time in custody. I became the cell Precido O b
1909
01:55:43,960 –> 01:55:47,680
J and later handed over that responsibility to a young man,
1910
01:55:48,079 –> 01:55:51,600
Honor Abba, who had also been unjustly arrested and detained.
1911
01:55:52,399 –> 01:55:56,199
While there, I quietly supported the release of four individuals
1912
01:55:56,239 –> 01:55:59,239
who were being held without cause, and to day on,
1913
01:55:59,359 –> 01:56:02,359
an abber from bed State has also regained his freedom.
1914
01:56:03,159 –> 01:56:06,880
My sincere appreciation goes to my HEADO Human Rights Team
1915
01:56:07,359 –> 01:56:10,720
led by John Odeon Kadiri, for their invaluable support in
1916
01:56:10,840 –> 01:56:15,000
making this possible. Dear family, I am pleased to inform
1917
01:56:15,079 –> 01:56:18,439
you all that I have been released from custody. Words
1918
01:56:18,479 –> 01:56:22,199
cannot express how grateful I am for your support, especially
1919
01:56:22,319 –> 01:56:24,560
considering that many of you had not yet heard my
1920
01:56:24,720 –> 01:56:28,680
own side of what truly happened. For clarity. I was
1921
01:56:28,760 –> 01:56:32,319
neither invited nor arrested by the police. As a law
1922
01:56:32,359 –> 01:56:37,840
abiding citizen, I voluntarily presented myself for investigation regarding the incident,
1923
01:56:38,640 –> 01:56:41,560
but the moment I have not been charged as the
1924
01:56:41,640 –> 01:56:45,079
matter is still under review by the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
1925
01:56:46,000 –> 01:56:49,479
I sincerely appreciate every one of you. I will take
1926
01:56:49,600 –> 01:56:52,840
time to personally thank you all for standing by me.
1927
01:56:53,479 –> 01:56:58,399
My special appreciation goes to my lawyers, Barrister Elia Walla Affelabe,
1928
01:56:58,880 –> 01:57:03,760
sam Baris Delai, Gnadian, Barrister favor A Jewibor and Barrister
1929
01:57:03,840 –> 01:57:07,920
Awilee Ideal for their professionalism and dedication in securing my release.
1930
01:57:08,800 –> 01:57:13,039
Despite my many years of advocating against police brutality, one
1931
01:57:13,119 –> 01:57:17,279
might have assumed the police would be hostile towards me. Instead,
1932
01:57:17,680 –> 01:57:20,600
I am grateful to the Edo State Commissioner of Police
1933
01:57:20,680 –> 01:57:24,479
for his wisdom and professionalism. I must also commend the
1934
01:57:24,560 –> 01:57:28,920
hard working investigation team led by CSPSJ for their care
1935
01:57:29,000 –> 01:57:33,079
and fatherly guidance during my time in detention. Thank you
1936
01:57:33,239 –> 01:57:36,439
all once again for being part of my journey, said
1937
01:57:36,520 –> 01:57:42,199
Harrison Guamishu, founder Safe City Volunteer Foundation. We have reported
1938
01:57:42,239 –> 01:57:45,520
that the Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of IGP
1939
01:57:45,800 –> 01:57:49,760
car Yode eg Beetoken has kept months since reports indicated
1940
01:57:49,800 –> 01:57:54,319
that the US trained Private Intelligent Officer Harrison Gwamnashu, who
1941
01:57:54,439 –> 01:57:57,399
was invited to facilitate the rescue of a married couple
1942
01:57:57,920 –> 01:58:01,720
husband and wife simply identify as mister and Missus Ibrahem
1943
01:58:01,800 –> 01:58:04,760
that was kidnapped since laid November at their home in
1944
01:58:04,840 –> 01:58:09,560
Aveley Community, a village near Auchipolytechnic in the Etseico West
1945
01:58:09,680 –> 01:58:13,079
Local government area of Edo State, has been arrested and
1946
01:58:13,199 –> 01:58:16,640
remanded to prison by a court sitting in Benin City,
1947
01:58:17,000 –> 01:58:20,680
the Edo State capital, over allegations that the Private Intelligent
1948
01:58:20,800 –> 01:58:24,800
Officer Harrison Guamashue underpaid the ransom money given to him
1949
01:58:24,840 –> 01:58:27,520
to give to the kidnappers to rescue the married couple
1950
01:58:27,600 –> 01:58:31,800
in captivity. The reports of Harrison Gwamershoe’s arrest and subsequent
1951
01:58:31,880 –> 01:58:35,880
remand to prison custody became widespread after a popular Nigeria
1952
01:58:36,000 –> 01:58:40,159
social media activist, Vincent Martin Zotts, in a video statement
1953
01:58:40,399 –> 01:58:43,720
on Friday morning, alleged that he has facilitated the arrest
1954
01:58:43,840 –> 01:58:48,239
of the Private Intelligent Officer Harrison Gwamnashue for allegedly removing
1955
01:58:48,439 –> 01:58:52,000
five point four million niers from the total amount given
1956
01:58:52,079 –> 01:58:54,680
to him by the victim’s family to help pay as
1957
01:58:54,800 –> 01:58:59,039
ransom to the kidnappers. This occurred after the sting operations
1958
01:58:59,439 –> 01:59:03,640
Gwamnesshi had prepared the ransom money for was probably aborted
1959
01:59:03,720 –> 01:59:07,600
after a man whose real names may be oshiurimmey job
1960
01:59:07,680 –> 01:59:11,640
As Segheme leaked revealed and exposed the planned sensitive security
1961
01:59:11,760 –> 01:59:15,079
information online. According to the suspect who leaked out the
1962
01:59:15,199 –> 01:59:20,239
sensitive security operational plans of Guamneshue, Harrison Gwamishue never told
1963
01:59:20,319 –> 01:59:22,920
the family he was going to remove some money from
1964
01:59:22,960 –> 01:59:26,279
the ransom that the kidnappers said. The money was not complete,
1965
01:59:26,319 –> 01:59:29,439
hence only the wife was released. The man still held
1966
01:59:29,520 –> 01:59:33,399
in captivity due to the incomplete ransom payment. The suspect,
1967
01:59:33,640 –> 01:59:37,760
oshiurimy job A Segeme, in a video recorded statement, stated
1968
01:59:37,840 –> 01:59:40,479
that he was the one that helped facilitate the service
1969
01:59:40,560 –> 01:59:43,920
of Harrison Guamashu when the family of the kidnapped victims
1970
01:59:44,000 –> 01:59:47,039
requested for it. The action of the suspect may have
1971
01:59:47,199 –> 01:59:51,880
prompted Harrison Guamashu to abort the sting operations. Obviously, for
1972
01:59:51,960 –> 01:59:54,680
the safety of his personal life and the lives of
1973
01:59:54,840 –> 01:59:58,720
Nigeria’s soldiers and other security operatives he does use to
1974
01:59:58,840 –> 02:00:03,079
execute and complete is sting operations against kidnappers, which often
1975
02:00:03,239 –> 02:00:05,880
leads to the killing of the kidnappers and recovering of
1976
02:00:05,960 –> 02:00:09,359
the total ransom paid for the purpose of clarity. Sting
1977
02:00:09,479 –> 02:00:13,720
operations is a deceptive practice and undercover tactics used by
1978
02:00:13,880 –> 02:00:18,279
journalists or intelligent officer or security operative to get closer
1979
02:00:18,359 –> 02:00:21,319
to a suspected criminal or criminals in order to be
1980
02:00:21,479 –> 02:00:24,760
more familiar with the criminals and the environment they operate.
1981
02:00:25,199 –> 02:00:28,520
And the deceptive practice may include the journalist or intelligent
1982
02:00:28,640 –> 02:00:32,399
officer or security operative pretending to give ransom money to
1983
02:00:32,520 –> 02:00:35,000
kidnappers in a manner that can cause a delay and
1984
02:00:35,079 –> 02:00:38,840
proper assessment of the environment before the security troops may
1985
02:00:39,000 –> 02:00:42,520
launch offensive attack against the criminals. The action of a
1986
02:00:42,600 –> 02:00:46,039
segaeme of leaking out sensitive security information may be of
1987
02:00:46,960 –> 02:00:51,039
interest why Nigeria soldiers and other security operatives are being
1988
02:00:51,119 –> 02:00:54,680
killed in large numbers whenever In previous and recent years,
1989
02:00:54,880 –> 02:00:58,479
the Nigeria security troops are on rescue missions, including the
1990
02:00:58,600 –> 02:01:02,199
recent mass killing of souls along with Brigadier General uber
1991
02:01:02,279 –> 02:01:06,000
Musa and civilian JTF members at were Jericho Village in
1992
02:01:06,079 –> 02:01:07,680
Borno State by criminals.

02:01:08,319 –> 02:01:09,039

Now he comes the first basic combining for much day.
2024
02:02:59,319 –> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 7: In the morning.
2025
02:03:01,000 –> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Barely one month after terrorists invaded the Christian school on
2026
02:03:04,640 –> 02:03:08,079
November twenty first, twenty twenty five and kidnapped over two
2027
02:03:08,239 –> 02:03:11,439
hundred and thirty school children at the Saint Mary Catholic
2028
02:03:11,640 –> 02:03:15,399
Church School in Papri Town in Niger State, the Nigeria
2029
02:03:15,520 –> 02:03:19,239
government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu has
2030
02:03:19,279 –> 02:03:22,439
announced the complete release of all the abducted church school
2031
02:03:22,600 –> 02:03:27,079
children by the terrorists. According to the Presidential Spokesperson, BeO
2032
02:03:27,199 –> 02:03:30,560
on Anuga, the terrorists released the kids based on intelligent
2033
02:03:30,680 –> 02:03:34,640
driven operations, but some Nigerians who took to the comments
2034
02:03:34,680 –> 02:03:39,199
sections of the presidential spokesperson on social media said the
2035
02:03:39,279 –> 02:03:41,800
government should come out clean and tell the public the
2036
02:03:41,920 –> 02:03:44,680
truth that it paid money as ransom to the terrorists
2037
02:03:44,760 –> 02:03:48,359
to secure the freedom of the kids, stressing that terrorists
2038
02:03:48,399 –> 02:03:52,720
don’t release kidnapped victims for free. BeO on Anuga, the
2039
02:03:52,800 –> 02:03:56,279
presidential spokesperson, had said in a statement he issued and
2040
02:03:56,399 –> 02:03:59,920
made available yesterday that the remaining one hundred and thirty
2041
02:04:00,199 –> 02:04:04,279
school children abducted by terrorists at Saint Mary’s Catholic School
2042
02:04:04,399 –> 02:04:08,479
in Papri, Niger State on November twenty first, have now
2043
02:04:08,560 –> 02:04:12,039
been released. They are expected to arrive in Minna on
2044
02:04:12,199 –> 02:04:16,319
Monday and rejoin their parents for the Christmas celebration. One
2045
02:04:16,439 –> 02:04:19,960
hundred were released earlier by the terrorists, taking the total
2046
02:04:20,000 –> 02:04:23,680
of freed students to two hundred and thirty. The freedom
2047
02:04:23,720 –> 02:04:27,359
of the school children followed a military intelligence driven operation.
2048
02:04:28,359 –> 02:04:31,920
Some social media users who are apparently Nigerians, took to
2049
02:04:32,000 –> 02:04:35,720
the comments sections of the presidential spokesperson post both on
2050
02:04:35,960 –> 02:04:39,960
Facebook and ex social media platforms and expressed themselves over
2051
02:04:40,039 –> 02:04:43,600
the new developments, some of which are presented verbatim below.
2052
02:04:44,439 –> 02:04:49,840
Relwan Ibrahem said, released not rescued. Kidnappers don’t release captives
2053
02:04:49,920 –> 02:04:53,720
for free. In all, thank God for their lives. Femiade
2054
02:04:53,800 –> 02:04:57,439
Boye said, So what happened to their abductors? Were they
2055
02:04:57,479 –> 02:05:01,119
engaged in the way they understand or they were released
2056
02:05:01,159 –> 02:05:05,199
after monetary negotiation. We thank God for dot the release
2057
02:05:05,279 –> 02:05:08,319
of these children. At the same time, what happened to
2058
02:05:08,399 –> 02:05:14,279
the abductors? Akim badet Agenbiade said, military intelligence driven operation?
2059
02:05:14,880 –> 02:05:19,000
As how enna how many bandits did they arrest? Banquie
2060
02:05:19,039 –> 02:05:22,520
Alash said, a wheeler dealer government of no direction will
2061
02:05:22,560 –> 02:05:25,880
never say the truth. Only God knows how much ransom
2062
02:05:26,039 –> 02:05:29,239
was paid from the hard earned resources or borrowed funds
2063
02:05:29,319 –> 02:05:33,439
of this country. No amount of propaganda or damage control.
2064
02:05:33,920 –> 02:05:37,119
Nigerian’s becomes wiser every day with all your antics and
2065
02:05:37,199 –> 02:05:40,680
they are ready for you come twenty twenty seven. Roscoe
2066
02:05:40,720 –> 02:05:44,720
Oko said, Sir, with all due respect, do the terrorists
2067
02:05:44,800 –> 02:05:48,720
release them unconditionally or your government paid ransom? Jo k
2068
02:05:48,920 –> 02:05:54,520
Megamixer stated the presidency celebrates her military intelligence driven operation
2069
02:05:55,199 –> 02:05:58,079
for the Papri release, yet says nothing about the fate
2070
02:05:58,159 –> 02:06:02,520
of the abductors. In a functioning security system, the return
2071
02:06:02,640 –> 02:06:06,279
of victims is only half the job. Without arrests or
2072
02:06:06,399 –> 02:06:09,600
neutralized threats. This is not a rescue, It is a
2073
02:06:09,680 –> 02:06:13,039
handover that comes at the cost that wasn’t mentioned. The
2074
02:06:13,119 –> 02:06:16,840
official account of the Papriy release reads like a travel itinery,
2075
02:06:17,239 –> 02:06:21,199
not a security report. If this was indeed an intelligence
2076
02:06:21,279 –> 02:06:25,760
led operation, where are the suspects? Silence on the abductor’s
2077
02:06:25,840 –> 02:06:29,119
fate suggests a non combative arrangement that leaves the kidnap
2078
02:06:29,319 –> 02:06:33,640
industry intact. Mass kidnappings in Niger State have become a
2079
02:06:33,760 –> 02:06:37,880
cycle of trauma and pr managed returns. By failing to
2080
02:06:38,000 –> 02:06:41,520
mention any neutralized threats or arrests in the Papar operation,
2081
02:06:42,119 –> 02:06:46,359
the presidency inadvertently credits the kindness of terrorists for the
2082
02:06:46,439 –> 02:06:50,880
freedom of our children. Elee U Mohammad stated, kudos to
2083
02:06:50,960 –> 02:06:55,600
President Bola Hmed to Enubu Pbat for his serious commitment
2084
02:06:55,680 –> 02:06:59,800
to tackling security challenges. Lately. The government has been putting
2085
02:06:59,800 –> 02:07:02,640
in real work to end kidnapping and banditry once and
2086
02:07:02,800 –> 02:07:09,439
for all. Samuel Osener stated, such military intelligence transactions completed
2087
02:07:09,760 –> 02:07:15,039
alert received a government that negotiates with terrorists. On Musom stated,
2088
02:07:15,520 –> 02:07:18,199
I’m glad the remaining school children have been released and
2089
02:07:18,279 –> 02:07:23,199
will soon be reunited with their families. But mister Bo,
2090
02:07:23,760 –> 02:07:27,079
how many terrorists were arrested or killed during the operation
2091
02:07:27,279 –> 02:07:30,640
to free these children, or was it the usual method
2092
02:07:30,760 –> 02:07:35,119
of paying ransom to these terrorists while pretending otherwise, Then
2093
02:07:35,239 –> 02:07:39,880
Samuel stated what happened to the kidnappers? Frankly, we’re far
2094
02:07:40,000 –> 02:07:42,920
more interested in seeing how you deal ruthlessly with the
2095
02:07:43,079 –> 02:07:46,239
terrorists than in the victims themselves, because we all know
2096
02:07:46,399 –> 02:07:49,920
you’ll insist no ransom was paid, even as they were released,
2097
02:07:50,159 –> 02:07:55,039
perhaps in exchange for Exmas handshakes. You can’t easily steal
2098
02:07:55,119 –> 02:07:57,960
fifty cows and march them into the forests, let alone
2099
02:07:58,000 –> 02:08:01,680
abduct hundreds of human beings. How do you plan to
2100
02:08:01,760 –> 02:08:04,920
face Nigerians next year and campaign for a p C
2101
02:08:05,159 –> 02:08:08,600
reelection when that would only mean more kidnappings and deeper
2102
02:08:08,680 –> 02:08:13,800
in security. This is a truly clueless administration. What Nigerians
2103
02:08:13,880 –> 02:08:16,279
want is to see the forests litted with the bodies
2104
02:08:16,319 –> 02:08:21,000
of neutralized kidnappers, proof of overwhelming firepower, but instead you
2105
02:08:21,079 –> 02:08:24,439
allow them to regroup and strike again, kidnapping even more
2106
02:08:24,560 –> 02:08:30,239
victims every day. Chickahohajie added that mister on Anuga, don’t
2107
02:08:30,319 –> 02:08:32,640
you think it is just too much to ask children
2108
02:08:32,680 –> 02:08:34,880
who have been in a terrorist den for close to
2109
02:08:35,000 –> 02:08:38,159
two months to be smiling for the camera. While we
2110
02:08:38,239 –> 02:08:41,680
are relieved these children, who are from being normal kids
2111
02:08:41,800 –> 02:08:45,079
have undergone severe trauma. Asking them to smile for the
2112
02:08:45,159 –> 02:08:48,479
camera is adding salt to injury. They did not go
2113
02:08:48,640 –> 02:08:52,560
on vacation. It wasn’t Disney World. I think you people
2114
02:08:52,680 –> 02:08:56,119
can do better. Terrorists are in competition with government for
2115
02:08:56,239 –> 02:09:00,880
control of resources. That tells you a lot. Smith added
2116
02:09:00,920 –> 02:09:04,640
that check out the words used how will release follow
2117
02:09:04,760 –> 02:09:08,319
after a military intelligence operation and no abductors were either
2118
02:09:08,439 –> 02:09:11,680
arrested or sent to their maker. Looks like we are
2119
02:09:11,760 –> 02:09:16,880
getting good at hostile negotiations. Honorable Nuhusada added that we
2120
02:09:17,039 –> 02:09:19,720
welcome the safe release of the remaining one hundred and
2121
02:09:19,840 –> 02:09:24,119
thirty school children in Paparri while we rejoice with their families.
2122
02:09:24,560 –> 02:09:28,399
This tragic abduction underscores the urgent need for effective security
2123
02:09:28,479 –> 02:09:35,359
reforms to ensure our children can learn without fear. Quin
2124
02:09:38,640 –> 02:09:41,680
increasing rates of mass shooting leading to mass murder in
2125
02:09:41,760 –> 02:09:45,479
South Africa recorded another new figure on Sunday early morning
2126
02:09:45,560 –> 02:09:49,079
in the Beckistal town near the southwestern part of Johannesburg
2127
02:09:49,159 –> 02:09:52,399
in the Gauteng province, when about twelve masked unknown gunment

02:11:42,680 –> 02:11:46,000
filing in this report on Monday morning, the South Africa
2157
02:11:46,039 –> 02:11:50,000
President Cyril Ramafosa is yet to issue statement or announced
2158
02:11:50,039 –> 02:11:53,640
policy action over the Sunday recent mass murder in the country,
2159
02:11:53,920 –> 02:11:56,920
just as residents who spoke with local media blamed the
2160
02:11:57,000 –> 02:12:00,920
attack on a legal miners known by the group name Zamazamas,
2161
02:12:01,000 –> 02:12:03,520
and the residents believed the police are in cahoots with
2162
02:12:03,640 –> 02:12:08,840
the different gangsters terrorizing communities in South Africa. Local residents
2163
02:12:08,840 –> 02:12:11,680
who spoke with local news media said that the mass
2164
02:12:11,760 –> 02:12:15,000
murder in Beckistal occurred around one a n early morning
2165
02:12:15,119 –> 02:12:18,880
night on Sunday, December twenty first, with about twelve gunmen
2166
02:12:18,960 –> 02:12:21,800
in a white van and silver Sadan opened fire at
2167
02:12:21,840 –> 02:12:27,079
the Quinnoxalo tavern in Beckistal, southwest of Johannesburg. A resident
2168
02:12:27,159 –> 02:12:31,479
who spoke with Newsroom Africa Television said, it is bad,
2169
02:12:31,880 –> 02:12:35,439
my sister. The thing is, this has become a norm
2170
02:12:35,520 –> 02:12:39,359
in this township. Young kids, tender kids as young as
2171
02:12:39,439 –> 02:12:43,720
two three years old, when a gunshot sounds, they don’t flinch.
2172
02:12:44,560 –> 02:12:47,640
They would ask you which direction does it come from?
2173
02:12:48,159 –> 02:12:51,760
They are used to gunshots. Little kids. Now you can
2174
02:12:51,840 –> 02:12:55,600
imagine how much about old people. What happened yesterday is
2175
02:12:55,680 –> 02:12:58,319
a reflection of I don’t know how to put it.
2176
02:12:58,840 –> 02:13:02,319
Maybe let me put it straight, a reflection of neglect
2177
02:13:02,399 –> 02:13:06,119
by the police. Criminals they do as they please. Here.
2178
02:13:06,640 –> 02:13:10,079
These guns they sound each and every evening. Let me
2179
02:13:10,239 –> 02:13:13,239
put it that way. As soon as it’s dusk, we
2180
02:13:13,399 –> 02:13:16,479
know that gunshots are about to sound, and they will
2181
02:13:16,560 –> 02:13:19,880
sound severely to a point whereby us ourselves would wonder
2182
02:13:20,319 –> 02:13:23,840
someone is shot or maybe someone has died. It is
2183
02:13:24,000 –> 02:13:27,520
rare that you find people die like this, But gunshots
2184
02:13:27,880 –> 02:13:31,680
they sound the following morning, there’s no report of someone dead.
2185
02:13:32,119 –> 02:13:35,840
So I don’t know if this today it’s music, it’s
2186
02:13:35,880 –> 02:13:40,159
something that they enjoy, but it’s terrorizing our communities. Who
2187
02:13:40,279 –> 02:13:44,439
is terrorizing your community? People that are terrorizing our communities
2188
02:13:44,560 –> 02:13:47,760
mainly is the Zarma Zarmas and suit to nationals. To
2189
02:13:47,880 –> 02:13:51,680
be precise, Why am I saying that when you talk
2190
02:13:51,760 –> 02:13:53,840
to some of them, they will tell you that this
2191
02:13:54,039 –> 02:13:58,000
is a rivalry thing. It’s a gang rivalry thing. There
2192
02:13:58,039 –> 02:14:00,000
are two gangs that are in the main that applay
2193
02:14:00,000 –> 02:14:02,560
playing a four role here and they’re making sure that
2194
02:14:02,680 –> 02:14:05,880
they send a clear message to each other. You understand,
2195
02:14:06,720 –> 02:14:10,079
because here there’s a gang of these people that reside
2196
02:14:10,159 –> 02:14:12,720
here or that stays with us here and their arrival
2197
02:14:12,800 –> 02:14:15,640
is on the other side of town. So as they
2198
02:14:15,760 –> 02:14:18,920
come here, they’re sending a message to these ones, but
2199
02:14:19,079 –> 02:14:22,399
at the expense of our own community. So I would
2200
02:14:22,560 –> 02:14:25,199
like to plead with General to please take action with this,
2201
02:14:26,199 –> 02:14:28,720
and he must be decisive with it such that he
2202
02:14:28,800 –> 02:14:31,720
starts from within his own house. They’re at the police,
2203
02:14:32,039 –> 02:14:36,039
the police station of Pakistan. If necessary, let it be
2204
02:14:36,159 –> 02:14:38,920
that they reshuffle everyone, if they can transfer all of
2205
02:14:39,000 –> 02:14:41,800
them and bring new members here. Because we are having
2206
02:14:41,840 –> 02:14:45,399
a problem with them being in cahoots with criminals. You understand,
2207
02:14:46,239 –> 02:14:49,079
the community will tell you that police are collecting brown
2208
02:14:49,239 –> 02:14:52,760
envelopes from these people and nothing is happening. So the
2209
02:14:52,840 –> 02:14:56,840
crime here is dismal. It’s bad and the leadership, let
2210
02:14:56,920 –> 02:14:59,960
me be specific, the councilors and the war committees here
2211
02:15:00,239 –> 02:15:03,800
must come to play. But I think also they themselves
2212
02:15:04,199 –> 02:15:08,079
they are politicizing these issues. They are not. They are not.
2213
02:15:08,640 –> 02:15:11,399
They are not up to up to scratch with this team.
2214
02:15:12,199 –> 02:15:16,159
Among the twenty people shot with nine confirmed dead, police
2215
02:15:16,199 –> 02:15:19,119
says its investigation is ongoing. From the point of view
2216
02:15:19,199 –> 02:15:24,319
of the terrorist attack, Gautaing Deputy Provincial Police Commissioner Major
2217
02:15:24,399 –> 02:15:28,520
General Fred Kaikhana said the attackers searched people after shooting them,
2218
02:15:28,840 –> 02:15:33,439
taking their valuables, including phones. He said three people were
2219
02:15:33,520 –> 02:15:36,399
killed inside the bar while others were shot as they
2220
02:15:36,479 –> 02:15:39,359
tried to flee, with the gunmen continuing to fire as
2221
02:15:39,439 –> 02:15:44,399
they left the scene. Gautaing Deputy Provincial Police Commissioner Major
2222
02:15:44,520 –> 02:15:48,800
General Fred Kaikhana also told Newsroom Africa that the perpetrators
2223
02:15:49,319 –> 02:15:53,000
armed with pistols in one Ak forty seven were unprovoked.
2224
02:15:53,760 –> 02:15:57,239
The poor patrons were just enjoying themselves when people came
2225
02:15:57,319 –> 02:16:01,279
and shot, he said. The police missioner said among those
2226
02:16:01,399 –> 02:16:04,880
killed was a driver working for an online ride hailing service.
2227
02:16:05,359 –> 02:16:08,880
When about twelve unidentified suspects arrived at the scene in
2228
02:16:08,960 –> 02:16:13,119
two vehicles, opened fire on patrons inside the tavern and fled.
2229
02:16:13,840 –> 02:16:16,640
At least ten wounded people were taken to hospital.
2230
02:16:18,079 –> 02:16:25,680

A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
