00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,799
Speaker 1: Serving Nigerian Senator, Prince Shindu Munir en Woco, well known

2
00:00:04,839 –> 00:00:08,160
as ned en Woko, has been accused of sending policemen

3
00:00:08,199 –> 00:00:11,080
to arrest his in laws after his fourth wife and

4
00:00:11,160 –> 00:00:15,080
a popular Nollywood superactress, Regina Daniels, ran out of the

5
00:00:15,119 –> 00:00:21,079
matrimonial home over alleged domestic violence, intimidation, oppressions and maltreatment

6
00:00:21,239 –> 00:00:24,600
like a nobody in the senator’s house. This the serving

7
00:00:24,719 –> 00:00:29,199
Nigeria Senator ned en Woko accused the absconded wife, Regina

8
00:00:29,280 –> 00:00:33,679
Daniels of substance abuse, denying her allegations of domestic violence,

9
00:00:34,000 –> 00:00:38,039
adding he made efforts to stop her addict of substance abuse. Hence,

10
00:00:38,039 –> 00:00:42,079
the wife Regina Daniels became violent and she started assaulting

11
00:00:42,119 –> 00:00:46,000
the domestic staff and destroying properties in the house. According

12
00:00:46,039 –> 00:00:48,600
to ned en Woko in a statement he had issued

13
00:00:48,679 –> 00:00:52,039
less than forty eight hours after the star actress ran

14
00:00:52,119 –> 00:00:56,119
away from her matrimonial home in October last month, while

15
00:00:56,119 –> 00:00:58,759
I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos

16
00:00:58,799 –> 00:01:03,479
unfolded at home orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier.

17
00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:07,079
Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the Tiny

18
00:01:07,159 –> 00:01:10,159
evil devil called Anne. In a swift reaction to the

19
00:01:10,280 –> 00:01:14,480
arrest of his son and Regina Daniel’s brother yesterday, Rita Daniels,

20
00:01:14,760 –> 00:01:18,120
the mother in law, accuse the serving Nigeria Senator ned

21
00:01:18,239 –> 00:01:21,159
en Woko of trying to bite the finger that fed him,

22
00:01:21,359 –> 00:01:24,439
saying ned en Woko married her daughter because she was

23
00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:27,480
a popular actress and the senator needed the high star

24
00:01:27,599 –> 00:01:30,319
of her status to boost his fallen star or his

25
00:01:30,439 –> 00:01:34,799
political relevance in the Nigeria politics, saying the senator will

26
00:01:34,840 –> 00:01:38,280
go down for arresting her children, adding that people should

27
00:01:38,319 –> 00:01:41,239
take a look out ned Inwoco’s children if any of

28
00:01:41,239 –> 00:01:44,920
them looked like from a billionaire father. Although the actual

29
00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:47,159
numbers of the in laws arrested is yet to be

30
00:01:47,200 –> 00:01:50,879
officially stated, as one of the Regina Daniel’s sisters, initially

31
00:01:50,959 –> 00:01:54,159
said to be arrested alongside with the brother, was seen

32
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:57,480
outside the police station in Lagos State on Monday night

33
00:01:57,599 –> 00:02:00,959
in a video made available online by a Reagina Daniel’s

34
00:02:01,040 –> 00:02:06,560
family Verbatim. Regina Daniel’s mother, Rita Daniels, while she was

35
00:02:06,599 –> 00:02:10,000
being video recorded and screaming with a very loud, painful

36
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:13,080
voice in front of the police station at night yesterday

37
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,680
said you married my daughter because you wanted someone with

38
00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:20,400
high star to boost your fallen star. If you think

39
00:02:20,479 –> 00:02:23,360
you can bite the finger that fed you, you’ll go down.

40
00:02:24,199 –> 00:02:27,560
Regina gave you fifty thousand dollars to support your election.

41
00:02:28,199 –> 00:02:31,560
All my resources also went into that same election. You

42
00:02:31,639 –> 00:02:35,919
were mad. Nigeria media reported that the arrests came days

43
00:02:35,960 –> 00:02:40,400
after actress Regina Daniels allegedly filed for divorce, accusing him

44
00:02:40,439 –> 00:02:45,000
of domestic violence, calling out the senator amid the marital crisis.

45
00:02:45,039 –> 00:02:48,479
On Monday, Regina disclosed that her elder brother and sister

46
00:02:48,599 –> 00:02:52,159
had been arrested while appealing to the general public for

47
00:02:52,319 –> 00:02:55,680
urgent help. The twenty four year old, in a series

48
00:02:55,719 –> 00:02:59,360
of posts on her Instagram page, attributed her siblings arrest

49
00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:02,199
and attention to an alleged attempt by her husband to

50
00:03:02,280 –> 00:03:06,879
force her into a rehabilitation center. Some One, please help me.

51
00:03:07,439 –> 00:03:10,759
I feel like I’m losing my mind. I never thought

52
00:03:10,800 –> 00:03:13,520
I would do this, but my big brother and big

53
00:03:13,560 –> 00:03:17,520
sister have been arrested. My baby sister might be arrested

54
00:03:17,520 –> 00:03:20,960
as well until I return and, according to him, return

55
00:03:21,039 –> 00:03:24,560
to rehab. Don’t even get me started on telling the

56
00:03:24,639 –> 00:03:27,599
world what you did to me with your stupid rehab talk,

57
00:03:27,960 –> 00:03:31,960
Daniels wrote, you said I’m a drug addict? What other

58
00:03:32,080 –> 00:03:35,680
name can you call? Me? A prostitute? Must things go

59
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:39,919
completely south if partners are no longer interested. Ned en Woco,

60
00:03:40,039 –> 00:03:44,159
in a statement issued last month in October, said Regina

61
00:03:44,319 –> 00:03:47,960
was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs

62
00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:51,319
and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She

63
00:03:51,439 –> 00:03:55,280
must continue her rehabilitation program or I fear for her

64
00:03:55,319 –> 00:03:58,719
life and safety now she has moved to a place

65
00:03:58,759 –> 00:04:02,400
where she will have unrestraint access to drugs. I have

66
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:06,240
other wives and none will ever accuse me of violence.

67
00:04:06,719 –> 00:04:10,360
Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting three

68
00:04:10,439 –> 00:04:13,599
staff in the past forty eight hours and destroying property

69
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:18,319
including cars and windows, for no just cause. The truth

70
00:04:18,480 –> 00:04:21,000
is I have set a clear condition for her to

71
00:04:21,079 –> 00:04:25,439
accept rehab in Asakoro or outside Nigeria, especially Jordan, where

72
00:04:25,480 –> 00:04:28,959
she will not have access to drugs. A clear headed

73
00:04:29,000 –> 00:04:32,040
Regina would have taken Moon to the hospital, but instead

74
00:04:32,120 –> 00:04:35,519
she even threatened to kill our resident nurse for exposing

75
00:04:35,560 –> 00:04:39,199
her drug’s abuse. While I took Moon to the hospital,

76
00:04:39,560 –> 00:04:43,120
a scene of chaos unfolded at home orchestrated by Sammy,

77
00:04:43,519 –> 00:04:47,800
Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to

78
00:04:47,879 –> 00:04:52,199
Regina is the tiny evil devil called anne Ejie.

79
00:04:52,480 –> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: You want to grun, you want that?

80
00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: Nobody would hide that, and you want to hyde that?

81
00:05:00,160 –> 00:05:02,879
Put your following time. I swallow it that your friend.

Speaker 4: Write the figure that fed.

86
00:05:09,920 –> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: You, you will go down?

87
00:05:12,800 –> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: He might say, one which money? Which money you got

88
00:05:16,360 –> 00:05:17,240

89
00:05:17,439 –> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: You did.

00:05:19,319 –> 00:05:20,519
Speaker 2: You have making you to feel.

91
00:05:20,279 –> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: Like feel funky?

Speaker 4: Why you hear someone?

93
00:05:23,439 –> 00:05:24,759
Speaker 3: You did I give to you?

94
00:05:25,720 –> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: I wanted?

95
00:05:26,199 –> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: Did I give you fifty thousand thousand? That’s not the contract.

96
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:30,720
I just need to suppose an election.

97
00:05:32,279 –> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: I say that it is?

98
00:05:34,360 –> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Is it?

99
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:34,759
Speaker 4: TI?

100
00:05:35,800 –> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: You wonder?

101
00:05:36,240 –> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: So farch I do with all my deceptive I think

103

Speaker 2: What say that?

105
00:05:45,279 –> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: Worker? Students? If you’re looking like the lestudent, I.

Speaker 3: House? I am nothing but I am.

00:06:21,399 –> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: You’re sue.

111
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Mom.

112
00:06:22,720 –> 00:06:26,879
Speaker 2: You asked me, you asked me, w again. I cannot

113
00:06:26,879 –> 00:06:27,800
stand the violence.

114
00:06:27,839 –> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: It’s too bad.

115
00:06:29,360 –> 00:06:34,879
Speaker 2: It’s so bad that.

116
00:06:36,439 –> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: You want something where where.

117
00:06:43,720 –> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Show on you?

118
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: You know I ain’t money where he.

119
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:12,759
Speaker 1: Fellow contestants in the last concluded presidential election in Nigeria

120
00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:16,319
and a Nambra State former governor Peter Obi has said

121
00:07:16,360 –> 00:07:20,759
that the current President of Nigeria, Bulahamed Tenubu led government

122
00:07:20,879 –> 00:07:24,240
lacks the passion to stop the unwarranted killing of people

123
00:07:24,399 –> 00:07:29,079
in manners of criminal acts, including terrorism, stressing that while

124
00:07:29,120 –> 00:07:32,399
the insecurity did not start with the present government, what

125
00:07:32,560 –> 00:07:36,480
is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment,

126
00:07:36,839 –> 00:07:40,439
prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part

127
00:07:40,519 –> 00:07:45,399
of a pc APC led government leaders to effectively govern

128
00:07:45,720 –> 00:07:50,040
galvanized and led Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed

129
00:07:50,040 –> 00:07:54,199
and killed. A nationware peace, truth and justice reign. This,

130
00:07:54,879 –> 00:07:58,800
Peter Obi stated via his social media accounts on Monday

131
00:07:58,959 –> 00:08:02,759
evening in response to the United States u S President

132
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:06,639
Donald Trump announced plans to launch US military action in

133
00:08:06,759 –> 00:08:10,079
Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing Christians in the West

134
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:14,879
Africa country. According to Peter Obi. The recent pronouncement by

135
00:08:14,920 –> 00:08:19,279
the U S Government declaring Nigeria Country of Particular Concern

136
00:08:19,879 –> 00:08:24,199
CPC and indicating possible military action should give every well

137
00:08:24,240 –> 00:08:28,720
meaning Nigerian serious concern. There is no doubt that Nigeria

138
00:08:28,879 –> 00:08:33,320
is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage

139
00:08:33,320 –> 00:08:37,000
and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According

140
00:08:37,039 –> 00:08:41,080
to Amnesty International, over ten thousand people have been killed

141
00:08:41,120 –> 00:08:44,120
in Nigeria since May twenty twenty three. In as I

142
00:08:44,200 –> 00:08:48,600
have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians

143
00:08:48,720 –> 00:08:51,639
is most condemnable and all efforts must be made to

144
00:08:51,679 –> 00:08:54,879
bring it to a stop. It is equally important to

145
00:08:54,919 –> 00:08:58,919
state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent

146
00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:03,120
leadership and governors. While the insecurity did not start with

147
00:09:03,159 –> 00:09:06,639
the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack

148
00:09:06,679 –> 00:09:11,879
and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism

149
00:09:11,960 –> 00:09:15,919
and passion on the part of APC APC led government

150
00:09:16,279 –> 00:09:20,000
leaders to effectively govern, galvanized and led Nigeria where no

151
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:25,039
one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed. A nationware peace truth

152
00:09:25,080 –> 00:09:29,679
and justice reign as democracies. Nigeria and the US have

153
00:09:29,840 –> 00:09:33,639
long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security.

154
00:09:34,399 –> 00:09:39,240
That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive,

155
00:09:39,279 –> 00:09:43,200
diplomatic and any other plausible engagement by both nations aimed

156
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:48,320
at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries

157
00:09:48,399 –> 00:09:52,600
must work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. Peter

158
00:09:52,759 –> 00:09:56,039
Obi had earlier on October twenty eighth, twenty twenty five,

159
00:09:56,159 –> 00:10:00,000
condemned the Nigeria government over rising criminal acts in drugous

160
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:03,960
abuse related crimes, saying, when criminals can now use the

161
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:08,240
country logistics companies to distribute narcotics across the country, it

162
00:10:08,320 –> 00:10:11,840
shows how weak the government institutions in Nigeria have become.

163
00:10:12,559 –> 00:10:17,000
The recent revelation that drug traffickers have infiltrated Nigeria’s courier

164
00:10:17,039 –> 00:10:20,759
and delivery services sector is worrisome and another sad reminder

165
00:10:20,799 –> 00:10:24,759
of how deep our national decay has become. When criminal

166
00:10:24,799 –> 00:10:29,039
networks can now use logistics companies to distribute narcotics across

167
00:10:29,080 –> 00:10:32,519
the country, it shows how weak our institutions and relevant

168
00:10:32,519 –> 00:10:38,720
monitoring systems are. The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLA

169
00:10:39,120 –> 00:10:43,000
has repeatedly raised concern about this trend, yet it continues

170
00:10:43,039 –> 00:10:46,679
to grow, apparently aided by corruption and poor regulation that

171
00:10:46,759 –> 00:10:50,879
have turned the enforcement body into a joke. Drug trafficking

172
00:10:50,960 –> 00:10:54,360
remains a big danger to society and a serious international

173
00:10:54,399 –> 00:10:59,320
offense that cannot be overlooked. It destroys families, fuels crime

174
00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:02,840
and career, OWDs the conscience of a nation. A country

175
00:11:02,879 –> 00:11:07,840
already battling insecurity, large youth, unemployment and hunger cannot afford

176
00:11:07,879 –> 00:11:13,559
a drug normalized culture. Nigeria therefore needs stronger oversight and

177
00:11:13,679 –> 00:11:17,720
must rise above this dangerous decline and rebuild a system

178
00:11:17,759 –> 00:11:21,399
where laws are sacred, leaders are accountable, and no one

179
00:11:21,480 –> 00:11:25,960
is above justice. Nigeria will only heal when character, truth

180
00:11:26,159 –> 00:11:37,559
and responsibility return to governance. Wi nim Barrister Jefferson Uahireen,

181
00:11:37,960 –> 00:11:41,559
a human right lawyer and the political activist, has said

182
00:11:41,759 –> 00:11:44,600
nothing wrong if it takes the intervention of the United

183
00:11:44,639 –> 00:11:48,840
States US President Donald Trump to end the raging fires

184
00:11:48,840 –> 00:11:53,840
of insecurity, institutional wickedness and terrorism in Nigeria. The legal

185
00:11:53,840 –> 00:11:57,039
practitioner stated this in numbers of posts he published through

186
00:11:57,120 –> 00:12:01,799
his personal social media platform since President Donald Trump announced

187
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:06,240
US intention to launch military action in Nigeria to wipe

188
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:10,679
out terrorists killing Christians in the West Africa, country, saying,

189
00:12:10,919 –> 00:12:14,720
if America’s saber rattling military threat is the dirty water

190
00:12:14,879 –> 00:12:18,240
needed to flush this country clean or quench the raging

191
00:12:18,320 –> 00:12:23,519
fires of institutional wickedness insecurity and terrorism, so be it.

192
00:12:24,279 –> 00:12:30,480
According to Barrister Jefferson wuhi eran dirty water day quench fire. Nobody, Yes,

193
00:12:30,559 –> 00:12:34,320
nobody deserves to die in the hands of terrorists. If

194
00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:37,919
it takes Trump’s intervention to wake up disgraceful governments to

195
00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:43,879
act swiftly, vigorously, patriotically, and responsibly, so be it. The

196
00:12:43,960 –> 00:12:47,200
primary business of government is the safety and protection of

197
00:12:47,240 –> 00:12:51,480
the lives and properties of citizens, whether Christians or Muslims.

198
00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:55,320
If America’s saber rattling is the dirty water needed to

199
00:12:55,399 –> 00:12:58,679
flush this country clean or quench the raging fires of

200
00:12:58,720 –> 00:13:04,720
institutional wickedness insecurity and terrorism, so be it. Now government

201
00:13:04,759 –> 00:13:09,200
way serious, citizens day loyal for a country of concern

202
00:13:09,279 –> 00:13:13,039
to disgraced country, How did we get here? This is

203
00:13:13,080 –> 00:13:17,200
the lowest of laws in Nigeria America relations a country

204
00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:19,879
we ditched the UK for and adopted its system of

205
00:13:19,960 –> 00:13:25,120
government practically everything. This is not really about Trump. It’s

206
00:13:25,159 –> 00:13:28,840
more about how we treat crime, punishment and our bogus

207
00:13:28,879 –> 00:13:33,399
criminal justice system. The government has surrounded itself with falling,

208
00:13:33,519 –> 00:13:38,320
lincompoop and incompetent advices who see national security only through

209
00:13:38,440 –> 00:13:42,480
narrow tribal prisms and ritualism, adept at creating enemies for

210
00:13:42,559 –> 00:13:47,200
the government instead of friends, no attempt at conciliative politics

211
00:13:47,279 –> 00:13:51,519
or national unity. Almost three years there are no ambassadors

212
00:13:51,519 –> 00:13:55,360
to major countries. Our foreign policy chiefs are torn between

213
00:13:55,440 –> 00:13:59,399
transactional politics of financial safe heavens or alignment with non

214
00:13:59,440 –> 00:14:04,279
aligned law O energy Caribbean countries. Our domestic policy means

215
00:14:04,279 –> 00:14:08,039
more towards appeasement of fading potentates rather than the enforcement

216
00:14:08,120 –> 00:14:12,720
of nation building rules. We can’t continue this way. Either

217
00:14:12,759 –> 00:14:15,399
we sit down and talk, or others will do the

218
00:14:15,440 –> 00:14:19,480
talking to us. A collapsed or exploding Nigeria is a

219
00:14:19,519 –> 00:14:23,080
threat to global peace and a humongous humanitarian disaster that

220
00:14:23,200 –> 00:14:26,480
must be avoided at all costs. We are almost at

221
00:14:26,480 –> 00:14:29,919
the gate. Where’s the break? We have reported that Ogan’s

222
00:14:29,919 –> 00:14:34,759
state born Princess ol Tarira Majeko Dunmyaniu has reacted over

223
00:14:34,799 –> 00:14:39,240
the description of Nigeria as a disgraced country by President

224
00:14:39,279 –> 00:14:43,639
Donald Trump of the United States US, saying, the greatest

225
00:14:43,679 –> 00:14:47,039
contribution the United States and its allies can make at

226
00:14:47,039 –> 00:14:50,679
this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence

227
00:14:50,720 –> 00:14:55,320
of visionary, credible, and people centered Nigerian leaders, not the

228
00:14:55,360 –> 00:14:59,159
preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty,

229
00:14:59,480 –> 00:15:03,120
division and despair. Calling on the international community for the

230
00:15:03,240 –> 00:15:07,039
urgent need to uphold democracy and human dignity. Amid President

231
00:15:07,080 –> 00:15:10,759
Trump’s plans to begin U S military actions in Nigeria

232
00:15:10,799 –> 00:15:14,360
to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria, we had

233
00:15:14,399 –> 00:15:17,840
also reported that President Donald Trump of the United States

234
00:15:17,879 –> 00:15:20,879
of America has placed U S soldiers on read alert

235
00:15:20,960 –> 00:15:25,000
for possible war in Nigeria. According to President Trump, the

236
00:15:25,159 –> 00:15:28,080
U S Department of War should prepare U S troops

237
00:15:28,080 –> 00:15:32,039
for possible military action in Nigeria. If the Nigerian government

238
00:15:32,200 –> 00:15:35,200
continued to allow the killing of Christians, the U S

239
00:15:35,240 –> 00:15:38,720
troops may very well go into that now disgraced country

240
00:15:39,080 –> 00:15:43,879
guns aid lazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists

241
00:15:43,879 –> 00:15:48,559
who were committing these horrible atrocities. This President Trump issued

242
00:15:48,559 –> 00:15:52,320
on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich Meridian time, after

243
00:15:52,399 –> 00:15:56,159
President Bola are meed to Nubu personally signed a statement

244
00:15:56,320 –> 00:16:01,240
rejecting trump earlier claim on Friday that Christians being targeted

245
00:16:01,279 –> 00:16:06,080
and killed in Nigeria. Although President Bola Rmed Tanubu disagreed

246
00:16:06,120 –> 00:16:09,480
with Trump, who had described the high level of insecurity

247
00:16:09,600 –> 00:16:14,720
in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians,

248
00:16:14,759 –> 00:16:18,360
but some Nigerians quickly took to the comments section of

249
00:16:18,440 –> 00:16:22,879
President Bola Armed Tanubu post on x social media platform

250
00:16:23,120 –> 00:16:26,279
and pasted a screenshot of a tweet published by President

251
00:16:26,360 –> 00:16:31,480
Bola Armed Tanubu on January twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, wherein

252
00:16:31,879 –> 00:16:36,159
President Bola Armed Tanubu apparently had long accepted and agreed

253
00:16:36,200 –> 00:16:40,320
that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly a religious war

254
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:44,960
against Christians in the West Africa country. Verbatim, In the tweet,

255
00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:49,720
Tanubu said, the saughtering of Christian worshipers is strongly condemnable.

256
00:16:50,039 –> 00:16:53,440
It calls to question the competence of Jonathan then President

257
00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:57,720
of Nigeria to protect Nigerians. This old statement by President

258
00:16:57,759 –> 00:17:01,440
Bola Hmed Tanubu indicated that President Donald Trump of the

259
00:17:01,559 –> 00:17:04,599
United States of America may not be the first person

260
00:17:04,680 –> 00:17:08,160
to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war

261
00:17:08,279 –> 00:17:17,240
against Christian communities in the West Africa country. Quinni Ni,

262
00:17:19,240 –> 00:17:22,839
Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has declared

263
00:17:22,880 –> 00:17:27,680
the founder and publisher of Satara Reporters News Media, Omile Saware,

264
00:17:27,799 –> 00:17:32,200
wanted for organizing protest in Lagos State, which the Lagos

265
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:36,240
State Commissioner of Police meschue Jimo said Saware has allegedly

266
00:17:36,279 –> 00:17:39,519
committed the offensive breach of public peace, and the police

267
00:17:39,519 –> 00:17:43,440
Commissioner thereafter confirmed the arrest of thirteen persons he described

268
00:17:43,440 –> 00:17:46,720
as vagabonds and miscreants as group of people came out

269
00:17:46,759 –> 00:17:50,000
on Monday morning to protest against the demolition of their

270
00:17:50,039 –> 00:17:54,079
settlements after their houses at the Coca and Adulari areas

271
00:17:54,119 –> 00:17:58,039
of a Warrant Shocke community in Kasofe Local Government area

272
00:17:58,160 –> 00:18:01,400
of Lagos State were brought down at midnight on Saturday,

273
00:18:01,799 –> 00:18:05,160
hours after the state government announced that it had compensated

274
00:18:05,240 –> 00:18:09,880
about eighty property owners on Friday, forcing some concerned citizens

275
00:18:09,920 –> 00:18:13,440
to condemn the government for displacing families without a clear

276
00:18:13,519 –> 00:18:17,559
plan for relocation. And reintegration into the housing system. This

277
00:18:18,119 –> 00:18:21,519
Armiele Saware, in an on the spot video statement made

278
00:18:21,640 –> 00:18:24,880
on Monday at the scene of the protest, said he

279
00:18:24,920 –> 00:18:27,400
could not come down from the vehicle because he had

280
00:18:27,400 –> 00:18:30,480
a privileged information that there was plans to kill him

281
00:18:30,559 –> 00:18:34,359
if he comes out openly during the protest. According to Saware,

282
00:18:34,720 –> 00:18:37,839
the action of the police explained why President Donald Trump

283
00:18:37,880 –> 00:18:42,359
of the United States US is considering military action in Nigeria,

284
00:18:42,440 –> 00:18:45,480
because the U S President has seen weak leadership and

285
00:18:45,599 –> 00:18:49,160
leaders do not mean well for the people. According to

286
00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:52,839
the Lagos State Police Commissioner, i here Bias, the Commissioner

287
00:18:52,839 –> 00:18:57,640
of Police, Lagos State Police Command, declare Sawar wanted. I

288
00:18:57,759 –> 00:19:01,079
declare him wanted for causing disturbance of public peace and

289
00:19:01,119 –> 00:19:03,759
an act to commit a felony by planning and putting

290
00:19:03,799 –> 00:19:06,680
all the plans in motion to block the Third Mainland

291
00:19:06,720 –> 00:19:10,880
Bridge to cause hardship for Lagosians and other Nigerians, more

292
00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:15,240
especially visitors who are transienced through this end. We will

293
00:19:15,240 –> 00:19:18,799
not allow that we are closing in on him anywhere

294
00:19:18,839 –> 00:19:21,119
he is. He should know that we are closing in

295
00:19:21,200 –> 00:19:23,839
on him. We learned that he was in a bus

296
00:19:23,839 –> 00:19:27,559
and being videoed why didn’t he come down. He came

297
00:19:27,680 –> 00:19:31,359
down in Abuja. He should come down wherever he is.

298
00:19:31,799 –> 00:19:35,440
He should report himself to the nearest police station. We

299
00:19:35,519 –> 00:19:39,000
are going to arrest him, investigate him and prosecute him.

300
00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:43,359
The Commissioner of Police said massive deployment of police personnel

301
00:19:43,440 –> 00:19:46,440
had been made not just to the Third Mainland Bridge,

302
00:19:46,480 –> 00:19:49,640
but also to other parts of the state where coordinated

303
00:19:49,680 –> 00:19:53,759
protests are likely to hold. The police boss stressed that

304
00:19:53,839 –> 00:19:56,599
this location is vital to the city’s economy and the

305
00:19:56,640 –> 00:19:59,920
well being of commuters. We will not allow any action,

306
00:20:00,519 –> 00:20:03,680
peaceful or otherwise that seeks to block the bridge and

307
00:20:03,720 –> 00:20:08,279
disrupt livelihoods. Any attempt to obstruct the Third Mainland Bridge

308
00:20:08,319 –> 00:20:11,799
is a direct threat to public safety and national infrastructure.

309
00:20:12,480 –> 00:20:16,839
Anyone attempting to disturb public peace will be arrested, investigated

310
00:20:16,880 –> 00:20:21,640
and prosecuted. Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy and

311
00:20:21,680 –> 00:20:26,000
we cannot afford chaos here. We have arrested thirteen suspects

312
00:20:26,279 –> 00:20:29,440
who are vagabonds and miscreants who wanted to cause mayhem

313
00:20:29,480 –> 00:20:33,839
in Lagos State. Sware, in a statement with a video attachment,

314
00:20:34,319 –> 00:20:37,079
said I recorded this video at the scene of the

315
00:20:37,119 –> 00:20:41,319
attack on peaceful protesters by Nigeria Police Force in Lagos

316
00:20:41,440 –> 00:20:45,720
during today’s a Warrensoki anti demolition protest, which they handled

317
00:20:45,720 –> 00:20:49,960
in the usual despicable and unconscionable manner. The Lagos Police

318
00:20:49,960 –> 00:20:56,240
Commissioner Musu Jimo has reportedly declared me wanted for disturbance

319
00:20:56,279 –> 00:20:59,440
of public peace, allegedly as a result of his offices

320
00:20:59,519 –> 00:21:03,319
inability to execute a shoot on site order given by

321
00:21:03,359 –> 00:21:09,200
his illegal IGP Carnyode egg Betokenina Warren Sockey. Today. Despite

322
00:21:09,240 –> 00:21:13,599
my repeated attempts to contact Nigeria Police Force Commissioner Jimo,

323
00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:17,519
he has not taken my calls. Nevertheless, I’ve planned to

324
00:21:17,599 –> 00:21:22,200
meet with him soon to address his declaration revolution. Now

325
00:21:23,079 –> 00:21:24,400
you should reports.

326
00:21:24,079 –> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: At their politicians. I hear by at the Commissioner of

327
00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:31,759
Police leaguers. The police command declared so wanted. I declare

328
00:21:31,880 –> 00:21:36,279
one said, for the app of causing the servant of

329
00:21:36,359 –> 00:21:43,920
public peace and add to admit Sira Salonia by planning,

330
00:21:44,240 –> 00:21:47,200
I’m putting all the planning motions into ultra traffic or

331
00:21:47,240 –> 00:21:51,559
determine language to cause ACTI for Lygosia and ordered them.

332
00:21:51,759 –> 00:21:55,319
I’m mutually because what a sisim through his head. You

333
00:21:55,480 –> 00:21:58,319
not allowed this to a this idea equipment. I’m wa

334
00:21:58,359 –> 00:21:59,759
sure that there we have.

335
00:22:00,079 –> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: Thing on him.

336
00:22:00,839 –> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: Anywhere he is is should be aware that we are

337
00:22:02,720 –> 00:22:05,759
placing on him. War is doing video and you couldn’t

338
00:22:05,799 –> 00:22:08,039
calm down. Let him come down. He came down that

339
00:22:08,160 –> 00:22:10,200

00:22:41,599 –> 00:22:45,319
coming to libor pase Gates crisis pas Gate violent would

351
00:22:45,319 –> 00:22:47,920
not because of retain and our work. The livers have

352
00:22:48,079 –> 00:22:50,880
to think about their love of businesses within the fear

353
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:53,039
of men. Let me come there. Let me put this

354
00:22:53,160 –> 00:22:55,720
level brand. It’s rarely in a very good and the

355
00:22:55,839 –> 00:22:58,720
middle video that polity has covered everywhere and we can’t

356
00:22:58,759 –> 00:23:01,400
calmed down. They deserve police come everywhere. That came down

357
00:23:01,519 –> 00:23:03,279
up with that. Let it come down. Let it come

358
00:23:03,359 –> 00:23:07,440
down yet and you will say the delopment that the

359
00:23:07,599 –> 00:23:08,000
gouly be.

360
00:23:08,359 –> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 4: Emport going from shopping. By the time we got there,

361
00:23:18,839 –> 00:23:25,119
the police had attacked peaceful protesters who who whom the

362
00:23:25,240 –> 00:23:30,799
demoliitor houses and worshal carrier of legos, and I think

363
00:23:30,839 –> 00:23:33,079
they had intelligence that I was I was approaching the

364
00:23:33,119 –> 00:23:36,200
pleasures to see capture. They were just teargasing them and

365
00:23:36,279 –> 00:23:39,880
they brought in more reinforcements. All of them were current

366
00:23:39,960 –> 00:23:45,160
leader weapons. This is what we’re talking about about Nigeria

367
00:23:45,279 –> 00:23:48,720
at this time. The police are thought to be protecting

368
00:23:48,799 –> 00:23:55,640
the citizens of Nigeria, business chasing after an attacking innocent civilians,

369
00:23:56,279 –> 00:23:59,319
people who they don’t build houses for, people who they’re

370
00:23:59,319 –> 00:24:02,200
doing a lot of for, they’re attacking them. And this

371
00:24:02,359 –> 00:24:04,519
is what you just you just watch life on my

372
00:24:05,519 –> 00:24:10,839
on my my timeline. Now, so we couldn’t enterre the community.

373
00:24:10,960 –> 00:24:15,240
The whole place is barricaded. These are so many demolitions

374
00:24:15,279 –> 00:24:19,200
that they’ve carried out and they relate to homes of

375
00:24:20,119 –> 00:24:23,160
poor people. This is where the poor people have managed

376
00:24:23,200 –> 00:24:25,680
to run after they reach people drop them away from

377
00:24:26,559 –> 00:24:30,279
my bacco core and other places. We were told that

378
00:24:30,720 –> 00:24:35,799
the GP, the legal AGP actually embedding the police team

379
00:24:35,880 –> 00:24:38,839
to the people who could shoot and kill me if

380
00:24:38,920 –> 00:24:41,559
I should her, But I still went there regardless. This

381
00:24:41,720 –> 00:24:45,720
is the intelligence I had. So right now will be

382
00:24:46,359 –> 00:24:51,079
monitoring events as are happening and the time permitting, will

383
00:24:51,119 –> 00:24:53,680
return back to that community. We must fight for these

384
00:24:53,759 –> 00:24:56,960
people and show that they get what is their back.

385
00:24:57,640 –> 00:24:59,920
We cannot leave this country in the hands of crime

386
00:25:00,119 –> 00:25:03,079
know is to keep exploiting the poor. That is what

387
00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:06,079
got us into where we are to do. That is

388
00:25:06,160 –> 00:25:10,839
what led to what America decided it could be the

389
00:25:10,920 –> 00:25:15,079
intervention because if single weak and terrible leadership in Nigeria,

390
00:25:15,119 –> 00:25:16,960
I didn’t know that these guys don’t mean well for

391
00:25:17,640 –> 00:25:20,400
Nigeria’s but that doesn’t mean that America meanwell for Nigeria,

392
00:25:20,400 –> 00:25:23,480
and they just taken advantage of the weakness in the

393
00:25:23,599 –> 00:25:24,559
leaders some of them.

394
00:25:29,839 –> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: Ogan State born princess owner Tarira Majekodunmyaniu has reacted over

395
00:25:35,079 –> 00:25:39,480
the description of Nigeria as a disgraced country by President

396
00:25:39,559 –> 00:25:43,839
Donald Trump of the United States US, saying the greatest

397
00:25:43,920 –> 00:25:47,279
contribution the United States and its allies can make it

398
00:25:47,359 –> 00:25:51,000
this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence

399
00:25:51,079 –> 00:25:55,640
of visionary, credible, and people centered Nigerian leaders, not the

400
00:25:55,720 –> 00:26:00,319
preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, vision,

401
00:26:00,359 –> 00:26:03,880
and despair, calling on the international community for the urgent

402
00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:07,839
need to uphold democracy and human dignity amid President Trump’s

403
00:26:07,880 –> 00:26:11,480
plans to begin US military actions in Nigeria to end

404
00:26:11,559 –> 00:26:15,279
the killing of Christians in Nigeria. While reacting to the

405
00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:20,640
recent remarks by President Donald Trump portraying Nigeria’s a disgraced country,

406
00:26:21,039 –> 00:26:25,799
Princessola to Rera acknowledge the deep governance challenges confronting Africa’s

407
00:26:25,960 –> 00:26:29,880
most populous nation, but emphasized that Nigeria’s struggle is not

408
00:26:30,079 –> 00:26:34,000
one of Christian targeted conflict, but one of governance, justice,

409
00:26:34,319 –> 00:26:38,960
and humanity itself. The greatest contribution the United States and

410
00:26:39,079 –> 00:26:41,559
its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to

411
00:26:41,599 –> 00:26:46,359
support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible, and people

412
00:26:46,440 –> 00:26:50,599
center Nigerian leaders, not the preservation of a kleptocratic status

413
00:26:50,720 –> 00:26:55,519
quo that has entrenched poverty, division and despair. True partnership

414
00:26:55,640 –> 00:26:59,039
must empower integrity and merit, not those who have rigged

415
00:26:59,039 –> 00:27:03,599
themselves into power through corruption and coercion. Princess owner to

416
00:27:03,680 –> 00:27:07,400
re recalled for global collaboration to restore faith in governance

417
00:27:07,480 –> 00:27:12,680
and strengthen democratic institutions, noting that Nigeria’s stability and progress

418
00:27:12,720 –> 00:27:15,680
are critical not only for its citizens, but for Africa

419
00:27:15,759 –> 00:27:19,599
and the world at large. Only through principled engagement and

420
00:27:19,759 –> 00:27:24,119
unwavering support for democracy can Nigeria’s citizens rebuild their nation

421
00:27:24,319 –> 00:27:28,200
in peace and dignity, free from the devastation of renewed conflict.

422
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:33,279
I look forward to continued dialogue, progressive cooperation, and a

423
00:27:33,359 –> 00:27:37,599
shared vision for humanity. She concluded. We have reported that

424
00:27:37,720 –> 00:27:41,079
President Donald Trump of the United States of America has

425
00:27:41,160 –> 00:27:44,839
placed US soldiers on read alert for possible war in Nigeria.

426
00:27:45,400 –> 00:27:48,720
According to President Trump, the U S Department of War

427
00:27:48,799 –> 00:27:52,839
should prepare US troops for possible military action in Nigeria.

428
00:27:52,960 –> 00:27:56,920
If the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians,

429
00:27:57,359 –> 00:27:59,880
the U S troops may very well go into that

430
00:28:00,119 –> 00:28:04,000
now disgraced country. Guns a blazing to completely wipe out

431
00:28:04,039 –> 00:28:07,799
the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. This

432
00:28:08,559 –> 00:28:12,279
President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich

433
00:28:12,359 –> 00:28:16,759
Meridian time, after President boler Armed Tanubu personally signed a

434
00:28:16,880 –> 00:28:21,160
statement rejecting trump earlier claim on Friday that Christians are

435
00:28:21,200 –> 00:28:25,559
being targeted and killed in Nigeria. Although President boler Armed

436
00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:29,079
Tanubu disagreed with Trump, who had described the high level

437
00:28:29,160 –> 00:28:33,240
of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic

438
00:28:33,400 –> 00:28:37,759
terrorists against Christians, but some Nigerians quickly took to the

439
00:28:37,839 –> 00:28:41,759
comments section of President boler Armed Tanubu post on ex

440
00:28:41,920 –> 00:28:45,440
social media platform and pasted a screenshot of a tweet

441
00:28:45,480 –> 00:28:50,119
published by President boler Armed Tanubu on January twenty ninth,

442
00:28:50,319 –> 00:28:55,480
twenty fourteen, wherein President boler Armed Tanubu apparently had long

443
00:28:55,599 –> 00:28:59,759
accepted and agreed that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly

444
00:28:59,799 –> 00:29:04,599
a religious war against Christians in the West Africa country verbatim.

445
00:29:04,799 –> 00:29:08,920
In the tweet, Tanubu said, the slaughtering of Christian worshippers

446
00:29:09,039 –> 00:29:12,440
is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of

447
00:29:12,519 –> 00:29:17,000
Jonathan then President of Nigeria to protect Nigerians. This old

448
00:29:17,079 –> 00:29:21,599
statement by President Bolahamed Tanubu indicated that President Donald Trump

449
00:29:21,720 –> 00:29:24,279
of the United States of America may not be the

450
00:29:24,359 –> 00:29:27,839
first person to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a

451
00:29:27,920 –> 00:29:32,920
religious war against Christian communities in the West Africa country.

452
00:29:37,559 –> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: Quindi.

453
00:29:41,000 –> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump of the United States of America has

454
00:29:44,480 –> 00:29:47,279
placed U S Soldiers on red alert for possible war

455
00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:51,519
in Nigeria. According to President Trump, the U S Department

456
00:29:51,599 –> 00:29:54,759
of War should prepare U S troops for possible military

457
00:29:54,839 –> 00:29:58,799
action in Nigeria. If the Nigerian government continued to allow

458
00:29:58,920 –> 00:30:02,279
the killing of Christians, the U S troops may very

459
00:30:02,359 –> 00:30:05,759
well go into that now disgraced country guns a blazing

460
00:30:06,079 –> 00:30:09,079
to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who were committing

461
00:30:09,160 –> 00:30:14,160
these horrible atrocities. This President Trump issued on Saturday evening,

462
00:30:14,279 –> 00:30:18,279
in line with Greenwich Meridian time, after President boler Armed

463
00:30:18,359 –> 00:30:22,599
Tanubu personally signed a statement rejecting trump earlier claim on

464
00:30:22,839 –> 00:30:26,680
Friday that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria.

465
00:30:27,119 –> 00:30:31,079
Although President boler Armed Tanubu disagreed with Trump, who had

466
00:30:31,160 –> 00:30:34,640
described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a

467
00:30:34,720 –> 00:30:40,200
religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians. But some Nigerians

468
00:30:40,279 –> 00:30:43,680
quickly took to the comments section of President boler Armed

469
00:30:43,720 –> 00:30:47,640
Tanubu post on x social media platform and pasted a

470
00:30:47,680 –> 00:30:51,640
screenshot of a tweet published by President boler Armed Tanubu

471
00:30:51,839 –> 00:30:57,039
on January twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, wherein President Bola Hmed

472
00:30:57,079 –> 00:31:01,200
Tanubu apparently had long accepted and agreed that the insecurity

473
00:31:01,400 –> 00:31:05,519
in Nigeria is possibly a religious war against Christians in

474
00:31:05,599 –> 00:31:09,920
the West Africa country. Verbatim. In the tweet, Tanubu said,

475
00:31:10,240 –> 00:31:14,240
the slaughtering of Christian worshipers is strongly condemnable. It calls

476
00:31:14,319 –> 00:31:17,960
to question the competence of Jonathan then President of Nigeria

477
00:31:18,200 –> 00:31:22,279
to protect Nigerians. This old statement by President Bolah Ahmed

478
00:31:22,319 –> 00:31:26,079
Tanubu indicated that President Donald Trump of the United States

479
00:31:26,160 –> 00:31:28,960
of America may not be the first person to describe

480
00:31:29,000 –> 00:31:32,759
the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian

481
00:31:32,880 –> 00:31:36,880
communities in the West Africa country. President Trump, in his

482
00:31:37,039 –> 00:31:40,759
latest policy statement via his Truth social media platform on

483
00:31:40,920 –> 00:31:44,920
Saturday evening said and in quotes that if the Nigerian

484
00:31:45,000 –> 00:31:48,480
government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA

485
00:31:48,599 –> 00:31:52,039
will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and

486
00:31:52,240 –> 00:31:55,599
may very well go into that now disgraced country guns

487
00:31:55,640 –> 00:31:59,119
aid lazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who

488
00:31:59,160 –> 00:32:03,640
are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our

489
00:32:03,720 –> 00:32:07,880
Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack,

490
00:32:08,240 –> 00:32:11,920
it will be fast, vicious and sweet, just like the

491
00:32:12,039 –> 00:32:17,279
terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians, warning the Nigerian government

492
00:32:17,400 –> 00:32:21,319
better move fast. According to President Bolah Ahmed To Nubu,

493
00:32:21,839 –> 00:32:26,359
Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees

494
00:32:26,440 –> 00:32:31,519
of religious liberty. Since twenty twenty three, our administration has

495
00:32:31,680 –> 00:32:35,039
maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim

496
00:32:35,119 –> 00:32:38,920
leaders alike, and continues to address security challenges which affect

497
00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:43,920
citizens across faiths and regions. The characterization of Nigeria as

498
00:32:44,000 –> 00:32:48,200
religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does

499
00:32:48,279 –> 00:32:51,599
it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of

500
00:32:51,640 –> 00:32:54,799
the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for

501
00:32:54,960 –> 00:32:59,200
all Nigerians. Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core

502
00:32:59,319 –> 00:33:02,599
tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so.

503
00:33:03,640 –> 00:33:08,400
Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria

504
00:33:08,599 –> 00:33:12,200
is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of

505
00:33:12,279 –> 00:33:16,279
all faiths. Our administration is committed to working with the

506
00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:20,519
United States Government and the international community to deepen understanding

507
00:33:20,599 –> 00:33:24,079
and co operation on protection of communities of all faiths.

508
00:33:25,000 –> 00:33:28,599
U S Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a tweet

509
00:33:28,680 –> 00:33:32,160
on Friday, has said that the ongoing slaughter of thousands

510
00:33:32,200 –> 00:33:36,079
of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists and Fulani ethnic

511
00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:40,200
militias is both tragic and unacceptable. As President of the

512
00:33:40,359 –> 00:33:45,799
United States said, the United States stands ready, willing and

513
00:33:45,960 –> 00:33:50,920
able to act in a swift reaction. Nigeria Presidential spokesperson

514
00:33:51,279 –> 00:33:53,799
bo On Anuga replied to the tweet and said that

515
00:33:54,400 –> 00:33:57,599
vi a Secretary Rubio, there is no ongoing slaughter of

516
00:33:57,680 –> 00:34:01,880
thousands of Christians in Nigeria. This is a gross exaggeration

517
00:34:02,079 –> 00:34:05,559
of the Nigerian situation. What we do have as sporadic

518
00:34:05,680 –> 00:34:08,719
attacks on some villages by bandits and terrorists, and the

519
00:34:08,840 –> 00:34:14,599
attacks are religiously insensitive Christians, Muslims, churches and mosques are

520
00:34:14,639 –> 00:34:18,880
attacked randomly. What our country requires from America is military

521
00:34:18,960 –> 00:34:22,280
support to fight these violent extremists in some states of

522
00:34:22,360 –> 00:34:26,159
our country, not designation as a nation of Particular concern.

523
00:34:27,079 –> 00:34:31,840
Secretary Rubio Muslim lives matter too. President Donald Trump, in

524
00:34:31,920 –> 00:34:35,480
a statement through his Truth social media platform on Friday,

525
00:34:35,920 –> 00:34:40,239
had said Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria.

526
00:34:41,079 –> 00:34:45,559
Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible

527
00:34:45,639 –> 00:34:49,880
for this mass sorter. I am hereby making Nigeria Country

528
00:34:49,920 –> 00:34:52,519
of particular concern, but that is the least of it.

529
00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:56,880
When Christians or any such group is slaughted like is

530
00:34:56,960 –> 00:35:01,039
happening in Nigeria three thousand, one hundred verse its four thousand,

531
00:35:01,199 –> 00:35:05,000
four hundred and seventy six worldwide, something must be done.

532
00:35:05,760 –> 00:35:10,280
I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom

533
00:35:10,360 –> 00:35:14,039
Cole and the House Appropriations Committee to immediately look into

534
00:35:14,119 –> 00:35:18,039
this matter and report back to me. The United States

535
00:35:18,119 –> 00:35:21,760
cannot stand by wild sach atrocities are happening in Nigeria

536
00:35:22,159 –> 00:35:26,840
and numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing and able

537
00:35:26,920 –> 00:35:33,880
to save our great Christian population around the world. Quindi

election entered the fourth day on Saturday, with the protesters

592
00:39:18,119 –> 00:39:23,000
defying military deployment. Massive crowds earlier on Thursday gathered at

593
00:39:23,000 –> 00:39:27,119

594
00:39:27,280 –> 00:39:30,960
members of the political elites from fleeing the country. It

00:39:31,159 –> 00:39:34,400

00:40:09,360 –> 00:40:12,599
on the ballot. Al Jazeera had reported on Friday that

605
00:40:12,760 –> 00:40:16,679
the Tanzania’s main opposition party has claimed that hundreds of

606
00:40:16,760 –> 00:40:21,000
people have been killed in protests following this week’s disputed elections,

607
00:40:21,440 –> 00:40:25,280
while the United Nations says it has credible reports at

608
00:40:25,360 –> 00:40:28,880
least ten people died as we speak. The number of

609
00:40:29,000 –> 00:40:32,079
deaths in Dar s Salam is around three hundred fifty

610
00:40:32,159 –> 00:40:35,199
and there are more than two hundred in Nuansa. Chademer

611
00:40:35,280 –> 00:40:40,400
party spokesperson John Quitoka told the AFP news agency on Friday,

612
00:40:40,800 –> 00:40:44,920
referring to the commercial capital in northern Tanzania, if we

613
00:40:45,039 –> 00:40:47,880
add the figures from other places in the country, we

614
00:40:48,079 –> 00:40:51,880
arrive at a total of around seven hundred deaths. Chademer

615
00:40:51,960 –> 00:40:55,039
said its members had toured hospitals across the country to

616
00:40:55,159 –> 00:40:59,599
reach the figure. AFP reported it have received a similar

617
00:40:59,679 –> 00:41:04,119
toll from a security source. Al Jazeera has been unable

618
00:41:04,159 –> 00:41:09,320
to independently verify the number of deaths since selections On Wednesday. However,

619
00:41:09,840 –> 00:41:14,760
Tanzania’s Foreign minister Mamoved for Bid Combo, denied that excessive

620
00:41:14,880 –> 00:41:18,920
force has been used, telling Al Jazeera the government has

621
00:41:19,440 –> 00:41:24,280
no official figures on any protesters killed currently. No excessive

622
00:41:24,400 –> 00:41:28,679
force has been used, Combo said on Friday, denying opposition

623
00:41:28,840 –> 00:41:32,599
reports about hundreds of people killed. I’ve not seen these

624
00:41:32,719 –> 00:41:36,119
seven hundred anywhere. There’s no number until now of any

625
00:41:36,199 –> 00:41:41,000
protesters killed. Combo said. There have been pockets of violence

626
00:41:41,360 –> 00:41:47,239
and vandalism in various areas against government properties, including offices

627
00:41:47,320 –> 00:41:52,079
and vehicles. The national electricity supply utilities have been burned,

628
00:41:52,440 –> 00:41:56,440
he added. The opposition’s estimated toll contrasted with that of

629
00:41:56,519 –> 00:42:01,000
the UN. In a Friday briefing, UN Human Right spokesperson

630
00:42:01,400 –> 00:42:05,639
Sief mcgango told Geneva reporters that credible sources had indicated

631
00:42:05,639 –> 00:42:08,559
at least ten deaths at the hands of security forces

632
00:42:08,679 –> 00:42:12,320
so far. We call on the security forces to refrain

633
00:42:12,480 –> 00:42:18,519
from using unnecessary or disproportionate force, including lethal weapons, against protesters,

634
00:42:18,880 –> 00:42:22,440
and to make every effort to deescalate tensions, mcgango said

635
00:42:22,480 –> 00:42:26,679
in the same briefing. Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed reports that

636
00:42:26,800 –> 00:42:31,880
Tanzanian celebrities, including diamond platonoms, have fled amid protests in Tanzania,

637
00:42:31,960 –> 00:42:35,159
which the reports indicated that the protesters are now targeting

638
00:42:35,239 –> 00:42:40,519
celebrities who promoted Samya Suluhu during the electioneering campaign. This

639
00:42:41,079 –> 00:42:46,039
the British government, through the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office FCDO,

640
00:42:46,679 –> 00:42:50,400
has advised that a Rushe Airport and Kilimanjaro International Airport

641
00:42:50,480 –> 00:42:53,960
are closed, and that most international flights turned from Julius

642
00:42:54,079 –> 00:42:57,880
Nireri International Airport in Dars Slam have been canceled due

643
00:42:57,920 –> 00:43:04,800
to ongoing political unrest and astriet curfew in Tanzania. Lady

644
00:43:05,199 –> 00:43:12,440
Quinni Ni Kingsley Conunta Carnu, the younger brother to Marzi Namdycru,

645
00:43:12,559 –> 00:43:15,519
in an ex post, has reshared by barrister a lawyer

646
00:43:15,599 –> 00:43:18,840
Gi McCaw, the co ordinating lawyer for the detained Biafra

647
00:43:18,960 –> 00:43:23,559
Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdycru, has given reasons why his

648
00:43:23,719 –> 00:43:27,199
elder brother had continued to defend himself on the ground

649
00:43:27,280 –> 00:43:31,320
of no case submission, saying the Federal Government of Nigeria,

650
00:43:31,400 –> 00:43:35,400
who made the accusations and filed the terrorism charges against

651
00:43:35,519 –> 00:43:38,800
the Biafra leader, has not been able to pinpoint any

652
00:43:38,920 –> 00:43:42,039
aspect of the Nigeria laws that should warrant his brother,

653
00:43:42,559 –> 00:43:46,840
Marzi Nandikru to enter defense, citing several court rulings that

654
00:43:46,960 –> 00:43:51,440
invalidated the federal government accusations against the detained Biafra leader.

655
00:43:51,800 –> 00:43:55,800
This Kingsley Unto Carnu stated in reaction to the commentary

656
00:43:55,880 –> 00:43:59,880
of doctor Samamadi published on This Day newspaper. After the

657
00:44:00,079 –> 00:44:04,039
detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nandi Kru,

658
00:44:04,360 –> 00:44:07,960
on Monday abandoned his earlier plan to call witnesses in

659
00:44:08,079 –> 00:44:11,360
his ongoing trial before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

660
00:44:12,159 –> 00:44:15,440
Nandi Kru, who is being prosecuted on seven counts of

661
00:44:15,559 –> 00:44:19,599
terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government last

662
00:44:19,679 –> 00:44:22,800
two Friday, had prayed the court for an adjournment after

663
00:44:22,920 –> 00:44:27,119
informing the trial Judge, Justice James Armatosho that his former

664
00:44:27,199 –> 00:44:30,119
legal team, led by a former Attorney General of the

665
00:44:30,199 –> 00:44:34,760
Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Khnu Agabi San, had

666
00:44:34,840 –> 00:44:38,880
yet to release his case file to him, though Nandikru

667
00:44:39,000 –> 00:44:42,039
had earlier expressed his readiness to open his defense in

668
00:44:42,119 –> 00:44:45,360
a written application to the court in which he indicated

669
00:44:45,400 –> 00:44:48,840
his intention to call witnesses and requested the issuance of

670
00:44:48,960 –> 00:44:52,840
witness summons. But at the resumed hearing on Monday, Carnu

671
00:44:52,960 –> 00:44:55,800
told the court that upon reviewing the case file, he

672
00:44:55,920 –> 00:44:58,719
had concluded that there was no valid charge against him.

673
00:45:00,039 –> 00:45:03,280
Carnu argued that since he believed the charges were unlawful

674
00:45:03,360 –> 00:45:06,440
and that the prosecution had failed to establish any case,

675
00:45:06,880 –> 00:45:09,480
there was no need for him to proceed with his defense.

676
00:45:10,320 –> 00:45:15,079
According to Punch newspaper, the trial judge, Justice James Omitosho

677
00:45:15,639 –> 00:45:18,800
directed Carlu to file a written address formerly stating his

678
00:45:18,960 –> 00:45:23,599
position and to serve the prosecution accordingly. Justice Armitosho further

679
00:45:23,760 –> 00:45:27,679
advised the IPOV leader to consult experts in criminal law

680
00:45:27,760 –> 00:45:32,000
to understand the possible legal implications of his decision. The

681
00:45:32,119 –> 00:45:35,880
judge thereafter adjourned the case to November fourth, five and

682
00:45:36,119 –> 00:45:39,440
six for the adoption of final written addresses based either

683
00:45:39,559 –> 00:45:43,199
on Carnu’s position that no case had been established against him,

684
00:45:43,280 –> 00:45:45,480
or for him to proceed with his defense if he

685
00:45:45,599 –> 00:45:50,599
decides otherwise, Kingsley can under Carlu’s statement, as recirculated by

686
00:45:50,719 –> 00:45:55,760
Barrister Alloy Eedgie mccor on Thursday tagged legal rejoinder to

687
00:45:55,880 –> 00:45:59,440
the misleading commentary by doctor sam Amadi published in This

688
00:45:59,599 –> 00:46:03,280
Day of the thirtieth of October twenty twenty five titled

689
00:46:03,679 –> 00:46:06,280
If I were Carnu, I would not refuse to write

690
00:46:06,280 –> 00:46:12,079
a defense stated as follows below one introduction correcting a

691
00:46:12,159 –> 00:46:17,159
misguided narrative the recent article by doctor Sanlamardi in This

Stay at Thisistlav of the thirtieth of October twenty twenty five,

693
00:46:21,320 –> 00:46:25,039
suggesting that Marzi Nandi Carnu should write a defense instead

694
00:46:25,079 –> 00:46:28,880
of claiming he has no case exemplifies how polly informed

695
00:46:28,920 –> 00:46:33,800
commentary can distort constitutional discourse in Nigeria. While the piece

696
00:46:33,880 –> 00:46:38,079
parades itself as legal analysis, it fundamentally misstates the law

697
00:46:38,199 –> 00:46:42,400
and facts of Marsi Carnu’s case. Carnu is not refusing

698
00:46:42,440 –> 00:46:46,159
to defend himself. He is asserting the obvious and unassailable

699
00:46:46,280 –> 00:46:49,800
fact that there exists no valid, cognizable charge known to

700
00:46:49,960 –> 00:46:53,800
Nigerian law for him to defend. That is not defiance,

701
00:46:54,239 –> 00:46:58,719
it is constitutional obedience. Two. The settled matter of rendition

702
00:46:59,280 –> 00:47:04,599
a close che Contrary to doctor Ahmadi’s impression, the illegality

703
00:47:04,639 –> 00:47:08,079
of Carlu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya has been

704
00:47:08,159 –> 00:47:12,400
conclusively settled. It is not in contention and not on trial.

705
00:47:12,840 –> 00:47:16,679
The matter has been determined by the Court of Appeal

which discharged Carlu on the thirteenth of October twenty twenty

709
00:47:33,079 –> 00:47:37,320

710
00:47:37,440 –> 00:47:42,480

Special Rapportchure on Counter Terrorism and Human Rights March twenty

712
00:47:46,639 –> 00:47:51,519

713
00:47:51,639 –> 00:47:55,440
High Court, which recognized the illegality of the rendition, and

714
00:47:56,440 –> 00:48:01,159
the Supreme Court for Emmanuel Agem JSC, who acknowledged that

715
00:48:01,320 –> 00:48:06,840
Carnu’s abduction was a grave violation of international and domestic law. Therefore,

716
00:48:07,280 –> 00:48:11,760
to suggest that Carnu is hiding behind rendition is disingenuous.

717
00:48:12,559 –> 00:48:17,880
That issue is Resjudicator, finally and conclusively determined. Three the

718

crux of the matter no charge known to law. Marzi

719
00:48:21,840 –> 00:48:25,760
Carlo’s insistence that he has no case to answer rests

720
00:48:25,760 –> 00:48:29,519
squarely on Section thirty six twelve of the Constitution of

721
00:48:29,599 –> 00:48:33,719
the Federal Republic of Nigeria nineteen ninety nine, as amended.

722
00:48:34,519 –> 00:48:37,480
A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offense

723
00:48:37,639 –> 00:48:40,679
unless that offense is defined in the penalty therefore is

724
00:48:40,800 –> 00:48:44,880
prescribed in a written law. The present charge f h

C A v j c R. Three hundred and eighty three,

00:48:49,239 –> 00:48:52,679
two thousand, fifteenths is built upon laws that have ceased

727
00:48:52,719 –> 00:48:55,960
to exist. Counts one to five and eight are founded

728
00:48:56,000 –> 00:49:00,719

00:49:00,800 –> 00:49:04,639
Section ninety seven of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act

731
00:49:10,440 –> 00:49:13,920

Nigeria Customs Service Act twenty twenty three and counts one

735
00:49:27,320 –> 00:49:31,760

736
00:49:31,840 –> 00:49:37,480
section seventy six one d Roman Fig. Three TPPA twenty

737
00:49:37,559 –> 00:49:40,880
twenty two, which mandates that the alleged act must be

738
00:49:41,000 –> 00:49:44,480
punishable under Kenyan law and certified by a Kenyan court.

739
00:49:45,320 –> 00:49:50,360
These are not technicalities, their jurisdictional voids. A man cannot

740
00:49:50,440 –> 00:49:52,920
be tried for an offense that is not defined by

741
00:49:52,960 –> 00:49:56,639
an existing law. To insist otherwise is to drag the

742
00:49:56,719 –> 00:50:03,360
judiciary into constitutional heresy four constitutional supremacy and nonderogible immunity.

743
00:50:03,920 –> 00:50:07,000
When the Court of Appeal discharged Carnu on the thirteenth

744
00:50:07,079 –> 00:50:11,159
of October twenty twenty two, that discharge triggered the nonderogible

745
00:50:11,239 –> 00:50:16,559
constitutional immunity enshrined in section thirty six nine. No person

746
00:50:16,639 –> 00:50:19,119
who shows that he has been tried by any court

747
00:50:19,159 –> 00:50:22,880
of competent jurisdiction for a criminal offense, and either convicted

748
00:50:23,039 –> 00:50:25,679
or acquitted, shall again be tried for that offense or

749
00:50:25,719 –> 00:50:29,119
for an offense having the same facts constituting that offense.

750
00:50:30,000 –> 00:50:35,480
This immunity is permanent, self executing, and nonderogible, as confirmed

751
00:50:35,559 –> 00:50:39,800
by sections one three and forty five one of the Constitution.

752
00:50:40,760 –> 00:50:45,119
No law, court or executive order can override it. Even

753
00:50:45,199 –> 00:50:49,719
in times of national emergency. This right remains untouchable. Thus,

754
00:50:50,159 –> 00:50:53,599
the Supreme Court’s remittle order of the fifteenth of December

755
00:50:53,679 –> 00:50:57,920
twenty twenty three, being inconsistent with Section thirty six nine,

756
00:50:58,079 –> 00:51:02,599
cannot lawfully revive a null charge. Under section one three,

757
00:51:03,000 –> 00:51:09,760
any act inconsistent with the Constitution is void. Ab initiomedi

758
00:51:10,159 –> 00:51:16,920
quindi ugnimi. President Bola Hmed Tanubu of Nigeria has issued

759
00:51:16,960 –> 00:51:20,840
a revised policy actions over the twenty twenty five presidential

760
00:51:20,960 –> 00:51:24,039
pardons he had earlier granted to one hundred and seventy

761
00:51:24,119 –> 00:51:28,599
five persons, some of whom were convicted murderers, deadly kidnappers,

762
00:51:29,000 –> 00:51:32,599
which included Mariam Sander who had spent barely six years

763
00:51:32,679 –> 00:51:36,239
and eight months at the Selegia Medium Security Custodial Center

764
00:51:36,400 –> 00:51:39,880
after she was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging

765
00:51:39,960 –> 00:51:44,039
over the killing of her husband, Billiamnubelo in Abuja, who

766
00:51:44,119 –> 00:51:48,760
she stabbed three times repeatedly. This President Bola armed Tanubu

767
00:51:48,920 –> 00:51:52,519
in his earlier presidential pardon granted to the thirty seven

768
00:51:52,719 –> 00:51:57,159
years old convicted and condemned murderer, Mariam Sander, had asked

769
00:51:57,159 –> 00:51:59,840
her to go home free because of her children by

770
00:52:00,519 –> 00:52:04,239
following public outcry and condemnation. In the revised version of

771
00:52:04,320 –> 00:52:08,079
the presidential pardons signed into law on October twenty first,

772
00:52:08,239 –> 00:52:11,440
twenty twenty five and made available to the public by

773
00:52:11,480 –> 00:52:15,679
the Presidency on Wednesday, October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five,

774
00:52:16,199 –> 00:52:20,119
President Tanubu commuted the death sentence to twelve years imprisonment.

775
00:52:20,519 –> 00:52:24,079
Although the presidency never mentioned the total numbers of people

776
00:52:24,199 –> 00:52:28,559
granted the presidential pardons, but the list of beneficiaries made

777
00:52:28,559 –> 00:52:33,559
available by the presidential spokesperson, BeO on Aanuga, indicated that

778
00:52:33,719 –> 00:52:37,800
only eighty six persons were granted the presidential pardons and

779
00:52:37,960 –> 00:52:41,320
Mariam Sander apparently spelt as Mariam Sunder, was last on

780
00:52:41,400 –> 00:52:44,719
the list and The names of earlier beneficiaries like Kelvin

781
00:52:44,840 –> 00:52:47,960
Prosper Oneara were not seen in the revised edition of

782
00:52:48,000 –> 00:52:51,159
the list. Maybe the names were omitted due to excessive

783
00:52:51,239 –> 00:52:55,599
public outcry that Prosper Kelvin Oneara was a convicted, notorious,

784
00:52:55,760 –> 00:52:59,000
high profile gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that

785
00:52:59,119 –> 00:53:02,199
were widely stated to be responsible for the kidnapping and

786
00:53:02,320 –> 00:53:06,920
subsequent killing of a former Enambra State Deputy Governor, Julian Wicke,

787
00:53:07,400 –> 00:53:11,480
kidnapping of a prominent legal practitioner, Mico Zekome on August

twenty fourth, twenty thirteen along Benininauchi Road, and during the

789
00:53:15,679 –> 00:53:19,880
kidnapping operation, the government ambushed and killed four police officers,

790
00:53:20,000 –> 00:53:24,039
including the Divisional Police Officer VPO of Ahor Division who

791
00:53:24,159 –> 00:53:27,360
led the police team in an attempt to rescue Mike Oseekome.

792
00:53:27,880 –> 00:53:31,280
Outside that the forty four years old Oneara was also

793
00:53:31,440 –> 00:53:34,480
stated to be responsible for the kidnapping of a judge

794
00:53:34,599 –> 00:53:38,000
in the Edo State Judiciary, a top female official of

795
00:53:38,039 –> 00:53:42,679
the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS, among other several members

796
00:53:42,719 –> 00:53:47,320
of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC and security agents,

797
00:53:47,360 –> 00:53:50,760
and Oneara was also stated to carry out several armed

798
00:53:50,840 –> 00:53:55,679
robberies and kidnap operations in Delta, Heado Rivers and Anambra States,

799
00:53:56,119 –> 00:53:59,800

Bernin City in Edo State, and aberin Arbia State. That

802
00:54:09,159 –> 00:54:12,920
on the eighteenth of September twenty thirteen, Onlyara issued a

803
00:54:13,039 –> 00:54:16,760
sixty day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria to

804
00:54:16,840 –> 00:54:19,400
release some of his boys who were arrested by the

805
00:54:19,519 –> 00:54:23,440
Department of State Services DSS or he would recavoc on

806
00:54:23,559 –> 00:54:27,840
innocent Nigerian citizens, and on the twenty fifth of September

807

twenty thirteen, a combined security team of the Nigerian Army

808
00:54:31,960 –> 00:54:37,360
and DSS operatives arrested Kelvin prosper Oniara, a convicted notorious terrorist,

00:54:37,719 –> 00:54:40,559
kidnapped Kinkin and armed robber who had been on the

810
00:54:40,639 –> 00:54:44,400
wanted list of the security agencies, and he was subsequently

811
00:54:44,519 –> 00:54:47,760
sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, which he had spent twelve

812
00:54:47,880 –> 00:54:51,880
years in prison before President Bola Ahmed Tenubu had initially

813
00:54:51,960 –> 00:54:55,360
made an attempt to release him. Details of the three

814
00:54:55,440 –> 00:54:58,440
press releases issued by the Presidency in the course of

815
00:54:58,519 –> 00:55:02,119
the twenty twenty five pres Residential pardons that elicited public

816
00:55:02,239 –> 00:55:06,159
outcry and rejections are presented verbatim in a descending order

817
00:55:06,199 –> 00:55:10,639
of latest to former below. President Tanubu signs instrument of

818
00:55:10,760 –> 00:55:15,199
Clemency and Pardons, moves Secretariat of Prerogative of Mercy Committee

819
00:55:15,239 –> 00:55:20,880
to Justice Ministry. President Bolah Ahmed to Nubu GCFR has

820
00:55:20,960 –> 00:55:24,320
executed the relevant instruments of release to complete the process

821
00:55:24,519 –> 00:55:29,440
of formally exercising his constitutional power of Prerogative of Mercy

822
00:55:29,559 –> 00:55:32,960
to grant pardon and clemency to specific individuals who were

823
00:55:33,000 –> 00:55:38,320
earlier convicted for various offenses. Following consultations with the Council

824
00:55:38,400 –> 00:55:41,519
of State and Public Opinion on the matter, the President

825
00:55:41,599 –> 00:55:44,599
directed a further review of the initially approved list for

826
00:55:44,719 –> 00:55:48,840
consideration in furtherance of the President’s discretionary powers under Section

827
00:55:49,039 –> 00:55:52,599
one seventy five one and two of the nineteen ninety

828
00:55:52,679 –> 00:55:58,719
nine Constitution has amended. Consequently, certain persons convicted of serious

829
00:55:58,840 –> 00:56:04,159
crimes such as kidnap, drug related offenses, human trafficking, fraud,

830
00:56:04,639 –> 00:56:09,440
unlawful possession of firearms, arms dealing, etc. Were deleted from

831
00:56:09,519 –> 00:56:12,760
the list. Others who had been hitherto pardoned in the

832
00:56:12,880 –> 00:56:17,440
old list had their sentences commuted. This action became necessary

833
00:56:17,480 –> 00:56:20,800
in view of the seriousness and security implications of some

834
00:56:20,960 –> 00:56:23,519
of the offenses, the need to be sensitive to the

835
00:56:23,599 –> 00:56:26,800
feelings of the victims of the crimes and society in general.

836
00:56:27,159 –> 00:56:30,199
The need to boost the morale of law enforcement agencies

837
00:56:30,280 –> 00:56:34,679
and adherents to bilateral obligations. The concept of justice as

838
00:56:34,719 –> 00:56:37,800
a three way traffic for the accused, the victim, and

839
00:56:37,920 –> 00:56:42,159
the state society also guided the review. The approved list

840
00:56:42,199 –> 00:56:46,280
of eligible beneficiaries has been transmitted to the Nigerian Correctional

841
00:56:46,440 –> 00:56:50,079

to the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdi Kanu,

1148
01:19:28,199 –> 01:19:31,520
after a Lawyergi mccor was seen joining the free Namdi

1149
01:19:31,720 –> 01:19:35,560
Knou protest in Abujah on Monday. According to the human

1150
01:19:35,720 –> 01:19:40,119
rights lawyer who have remarkable experience in fighting against police

1151
01:19:40,199 –> 01:19:44,079
extra judicial killing, one notable exception is that a lawyer

1152
01:19:44,239 –> 01:19:47,159
enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his

1153
01:19:47,399 –> 01:19:50,800

marches and protests for his client. The conducts of lawyers

1155
01:19:54,520 –> 01:19:57,199

1156
01:19:57,239 –> 01:20:00,720
of the alarming accusation by the presidency yester today against

1157

mister Cardu. The statement from the presidency and the police

1161
01:20:13,920 –> 01:20:18,039

1162
01:20:18,119 –> 01:20:21,199
lawyer for having the temerity to represent a person the

1163

1164
01:20:24,920 –> 01:20:29,560

1165
01:20:29,640 –> 01:20:33,159
of a legal protest won’t be refused. The refusal is

1166
01:20:33,239 –> 01:20:36,600
concerning and turning a simple matter into a political case

1167
01:20:36,640 –> 01:20:41,039
of vendetta and persecution. Bo on Anuga, the Special Adviser

1170
01:20:48,640 –> 01:20:52,520
spotted a Lawyergie McCaw, one of Nandi Cardu’s lawyers, among

1171
01:20:52,640 –> 01:20:56,920
the small group of protesters mobilized in Abuja by Homielee Sware.

1172
01:20:57,439 –> 01:21:00,199
I wonder what mister Eggie McCaw was thinking when he

1173
01:21:00,319 –> 01:21:03,880
decided to join this shambalic protest. As a lawyer, he

1174
01:21:03,960 –> 01:21:07,399
should be aware of the principle of sub judices, particularly

1175
01:21:07,479 –> 01:21:10,840
in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court.

1176
01:21:11,279 –> 01:21:14,560
The prosecution has concluded its case and it is now

1177
01:21:14,680 –> 01:21:18,359
incumbent upon mister Ejimacor and the other lawyers to mount

1178
01:21:18,439 –> 01:21:22,119
a strong defense for Kannu. Rather than focusing on preparing

1179
01:21:22,239 –> 01:21:26,800
a strong case, mister Egimacor has resorted to extra legal tactics,

1180
01:21:27,199 –> 01:21:31,319
joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Meanwhile, few

1181
01:21:31,399 –> 01:21:34,800
hours ago, the organizer of the protest and the founder

1182
01:21:34,880 –> 01:21:39,119
of Sahara Reporters News Media, Omiele Saware, stated via his

1183
01:21:39,279 –> 01:21:42,920
social media accounts that we have been informed that plans

1184
01:21:42,920 –> 01:21:46,039
are allegedly in place of Kuja Prison to harm Namli

1185
01:21:46,199 –> 01:21:49,920
Kanu’s younger brother, Fine Boy and a lawyer Gimcor his

1186
01:21:50,039 –> 01:21:54,439
special counsel inside Kujay Prison by special warders assigned by

1187
01:21:54,479 –> 01:21:58,920
the Assawaju bolahamed to Nubu. Beyo on Anuga in the tweet,

1188
01:21:59,000 –> 01:22:02,840
demanded a snash against Barrister lay Eggie McCaw for joining

1189
01:22:02,920 –> 01:22:08,119
the protest calling for the release of his client Namdikru. Accordingly,

1190
01:22:08,560 –> 01:22:12,399
BeO Onanugus said, I spotted a lawyer Eergie McCaw, one

1191
01:22:12,439 –> 01:22:16,680
of Namdikardo’s lawyers, among the small group of protesters mobilized

1192
01:22:16,720 –> 01:22:20,840
in Abuja by Amiele Saware. I wonder what mister Eggie

1193
01:22:20,880 –> 01:22:24,520
McCaw was thinking when he decided to join this shambalic protest.

1194
01:22:25,319 –> 01:22:27,960
As a lawyer, he should be aware of the principle

1195
01:22:28,000 –> 01:22:31,880
of sub judicy, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason

1196
01:22:32,039 –> 01:22:36,199
case before the court. The prosecution has concluded its case

1197
01:22:36,560 –> 01:22:40,079
and it is now incumbent upon mister Eggie mccor and

1198
01:22:40,159 –> 01:22:42,920
the other lawyers to mount a strong defense for Carnu.

1199
01:22:43,840 –> 01:22:47,520
Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, mister Eggie

1200
01:22:47,560 –> 01:22:51,399
mccor has resorted to extra legal tactics, joining a career

1201
01:22:51,439 –> 01:22:56,319
anarchist to influence the process. Eggie mccau’s action questions his

1202
01:22:56,439 –> 01:23:01,000
adherents to professional ethics. Legal authorities should go consider appropriate

1203
01:23:01,119 –> 01:23:05,399
sanctions for the unethical conduct of the bearded lawyer. Reacting,

1204
01:23:05,920 –> 01:23:09,000
Barrister Jefferson leuher And, in a statement signed and made

1205
01:23:09,039 –> 01:23:15,039
available on Tuesday, said lawyers generally enjoy constitutional protection for

1206
01:23:15,119 –> 01:23:18,960
two kinds of speech like everyone else, though with at

1207
01:23:19,079 –> 01:23:23,720
least two important exceptions. Lawyers can criticize government, including the

1208
01:23:23,800 –> 01:23:27,439
courts and judges, and speak about public issues, subject to

1209
01:23:27,479 –> 01:23:31,960
such narrow limitations professional rules of practice will permit. One

1210
01:23:32,079 –> 01:23:35,640
notable exception is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than

1211
01:23:35,680 –> 01:23:38,600
others to speak publicly about his or her own cases,

1212
01:23:39,439 –> 01:23:42,920
but not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for

1213
01:23:43,039 –> 01:23:46,359
his client. The conducts of lawyers and the limit of

1214
01:23:46,439 –> 01:23:49,760
their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation

1215
01:23:49,960 –> 01:23:53,359
by the Presidency yesterday against the lawyer of mister Namdi

1216
01:23:53,479 –> 01:23:56,119
Karo and his subsequent arrest by the police for his

1217
01:23:56,279 –> 01:23:59,680
presence at a scene in Abuja where protesters were marching

1218
01:23:59,720 –> 01:24:03,640
peace fully demanding the release of mister Krno. The statement

1219
01:24:03,760 –> 01:24:06,720
from the Presidency in the police action is obviously a

1220
01:24:06,800 –> 01:24:10,640
culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the

1221
01:24:10,720 –> 01:24:14,439
temerity to represent a person the government have since prosecuted

1222
01:24:14,520 –> 01:24:18,119
and convicted in the court of public opinions. This is

1223
01:24:18,199 –> 01:24:21,920
a deeply concerning assault on our adversarial legal system and

1224
01:24:22,000 –> 01:24:26,199
the rights to legal representations. No matter the severity of

1225
01:24:26,239 –> 01:24:29,840
the allegations or the repugnancy of the case, An accused

1226
01:24:29,880 –> 01:24:34,119
person remains innocent until the court’s rule. Otherwise, any lawyer

1227
01:24:34,199 –> 01:24:36,720
who knows his onions on his suyer knows that there’s

1228
01:24:36,800 –> 01:24:40,279
no good or bad case until the final determination of

1229
01:24:40,359 –> 01:24:44,159
the case. Thus, the first great duty of an advocate

1230
01:24:44,359 –> 01:24:47,439
or lawyer is to reckon or do everything legally possible

1231
01:24:47,600 –> 01:24:50,840
in the interests of his client in the discharge of

1232
01:24:50,920 –> 01:24:54,359
his professional duties. A lawyer knows but one person in

1233
01:24:54,439 –> 01:24:56,840
the whole of the world, and that person is his client,

1234
01:24:57,359 –> 01:25:00,920
even if it requires encouraging protests or protesters who are

1235
01:25:00,960 –> 01:25:04,000
in sympathy with his client’s interests, or speaking to the

1236
01:25:04,079 –> 01:25:08,239
press to clarify the allegations against his client. This is

1237
01:25:08,319 –> 01:25:12,479
similar in reality and desperation in capital offense cases. When

1238
01:25:12,600 –> 01:25:17,560
government determinedly provide the judge, prosecutor and free turncoat Indoland

1239
01:25:17,600 –> 01:25:21,479
defense counsels for accused persons, the government is determined to

1240
01:25:21,560 –> 01:25:25,880
waste a trinity of conspiracy and collusion against indigent and

1241
01:25:26,000 –> 01:25:30,760
poor citizens. To Bayo on Anuga and other moral ethics schizophrenics,

1242
01:25:31,039 –> 01:25:35,600
a lawyer’s representation of a client, including representation by appointment,

1243
01:25:36,000 –> 01:25:40,560
does not constitute an endorsement of his client’s political, economic, social,

1244
01:25:40,960 –> 01:25:45,359
or moral views. Arresting lawyers or making moral judgments about

1245
01:25:45,439 –> 01:25:48,720
lawyers because of the identity of their clients will inevitably

1246
01:25:48,840 –> 01:25:52,199
impede access to justice and the availability of lawyers for

1247
01:25:52,279 –> 01:25:56,760
political dissents in the coming days. Barrister Jefferson Nuheren stated

1248
01:25:57,520 –> 01:26:01,119
the remanded Lambdi Carlu lawyer all Yoi. Hejimakor, in a

1249
01:26:01,159 –> 01:26:04,600
tweet on Tuesday, said I am safe and sound, but

1250
01:26:04,720 –> 01:26:08,840
still under custody at Coujay Prison. The magistrate refused to

1251
01:26:08,960 –> 01:26:12,760
listen to our submissions. He insisted on reminding us till

1252
01:26:12,880 –> 01:26:16,560
Friday and got his way. For context, keep in mind

1253
01:26:16,600 –> 01:26:19,920
that they bypassed several magistrate courts in town and headed

1254
01:26:19,960 –> 01:26:24,600
to this one in Coujay. On Monday, Aloyejimakor had twreated

1255
01:26:24,680 –> 01:26:29,680
that We’ve just been arrested myself, Prince Emmanuel and others.

1256
01:26:30,199 –> 01:26:33,960
We are at f C t Command Sid myself, Fine

1257

Boy and others Number one Tzaria Street, Guiki too Avouja.

1258
01:26:39,239 –> 01:26:43,600
Earlier on Monday, Hejimakor also tweeted that I’m in front

1259
01:26:43,640 –> 01:26:46,479
of Transcorp Hilton with a mammoth crowd that gathered for

1260
01:26:46,600 –> 01:26:51,079
Marzi Nandikano October twentieth and the police just exploded tear gas.

1261
01:26:51,920 –> 01:26:55,880
My eyes and throat hurt. They’re scattering everywhere. Omi Yele

1262
01:26:56,039 –> 01:26:59,640
Saware on Tuesday stated that I just learned that illegal

1263
01:26:59,760 –> 01:27:03,079
high g P KR Yode egg Beetoken has sent Namdi

1264
01:27:03,199 –> 01:27:07,359
Karnu’s brother and lawyer, Aloyegiemcor and eleven others all the

1265
01:27:07,439 –> 01:27:10,279
way to Coujay Magistrate caught to get them remanded in

1266
01:27:10,399 –> 01:27:15,840
prison at all costs. Earlier on Monday, Amayelee Sware said

1267
01:27:16,279 –> 01:27:20,039
the despicable and illegal Inspector General of Police, KR Yode

1268
01:27:20,119 –> 01:27:23,439
egg Beetoken has ordered the arrest and detention of thirteen

1269
01:27:23,479 –> 01:27:27,880
peaceful protesters who participated in today’s free Namdi Kanuno demonstration

1270
01:27:28,000 –> 01:27:33,560
in Abuja. Among those detained a Namdikrnu’s lead lawyer, Aloye Hejimcor,

1271
01:27:34,000 –> 01:27:38,680
Namdi Krnu’s brother, fine Boy Carnu, Barrister Akere and ten

1272
01:27:38,760 –> 01:27:43,039
others whose only crime was exercising their constitutional right to

1273
01:27:43,079 –> 01:27:47,520
peaceful protest. Shockingly, the protesters have been taken to the

1274
01:27:47,640 –> 01:27:52,159
notorious sas Abatoir Detention and torture facility in Abuja, a

1275
01:27:52,279 –> 01:27:56,640
place long associated with human rights abuses unlawful detentions and

1276
01:27:56,880 –> 01:28:01,239
unspeakable cruelty. Their only offense was standing for justice and

1277
01:28:01,359 –> 01:28:05,880
freedom and protesting peacefully. In another post on Monday, Omi

1278
01:28:06,039 –> 01:28:10,359
Lea Saware said, we relocated to the FCT Police Command

1279
01:28:10,439 –> 01:28:14,119
today to ensure the unconditional release of Namdi Karnu’s brother

1280
01:28:14,560 –> 01:28:18,760
fine Boy, his lawyer, Barrister Aloyegi mccoor and eleven others

1281
01:28:18,800 –> 01:28:21,720
who were arrested and tortured for participating in Free nam

1282
01:28:21,800 –> 01:28:26,239
Dekanuno peaceful protest. While we were there, we commenced another

1283
01:28:26,319 –> 01:28:29,720
phase of our protest and the police responded by attacking

1284
01:28:29,840 –> 01:28:33,119
us right in front of the command. We were informed

1285
01:28:33,159 –> 01:28:36,760
that the illegal Inspector General of Police, car Yode egg Betoken,

1286
01:28:36,880 –> 01:28:41,680
requested that they be interviewed and possibly detained. This will

1287
01:28:41,760 –> 01:28:45,960
not stand. On Tuesday evening, Omile Saware stated in a

1288
01:28:46,039 –> 01:28:50,680
statement that lawyers representing Barrister aloy Egimacor and his brother

1289
01:28:51,079 –> 01:28:55,640
Emmanuel fine Boy KRNU filed a bail application today at

1290
01:28:55,680 –> 01:28:58,960
the Federal High Court in Abuja following their unlawful arrest

1291
01:28:59,079 –> 01:29:02,800
during the Free nam dad Canuno protest. However, in a

1292
01:29:02,880 –> 01:29:07,079
blatant display of bad faith, police prosecutors reportedly refused to

1293
01:29:07,159 –> 01:29:10,600
accept service of the court summons delivered by court bailiffs,

1294
01:29:10,880 –> 01:29:14,199
an intentional move to frustrate and delay the bail process.

1295
01:29:15,039 –> 01:29:17,920
Today we also found out they were so desperate that

1296
01:29:18,039 –> 01:29:22,600
they thought Alloy for Aliyu. Today we proceeded to the

1297
01:29:22,680 –> 01:29:26,720
Couja Magistrate Court where the Nigeria Police Force under the

1298
01:29:26,840 –> 01:29:32,119
leadership of illegal IGP Kyode Eggbetoken hastily arraigned Andy Carnu’s

1299
01:29:32,199 –> 01:29:36,159
lead council Alloy Ergie mccor, his brother Fine Boy and

1300
01:29:36,279 –> 01:29:40,880
eleven others. However, the magistrate had already remanded them in

1301
01:29:41,000 –> 01:29:44,760
Couja prison until Friday before their attorneys arrived at the

1302
01:29:44,840 –> 01:29:45,800
magistrate’s court.

1303
01:29:49,239 –> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 3: Qui Ni.

1304
01:29:52,720 –> 01:29:56,920

01:29:57,039 –> 01:30:01,119

1306
01:30:01,239 –> 01:30:05,680
in the United States US attending the International Association of

1307
01:30:05,800 –> 01:30:11,159
Chiefs of Police IACP annual conference in Denver, Colorado, USA,

1308
01:30:11,720 –> 01:30:16,039
alongside other senior police offices, has worn troublemakers to resist

1309
01:30:16,159 –> 01:30:20,359
the temptation of hijacking the Free Nandi Carlou protests slated

1310
01:30:20,439 –> 01:30:23,479
to hold today across the West Africa country by the

1311
01:30:23,680 –> 01:30:27,319
organizers and other group of Nigerians to demand the release

1312
01:30:27,359 –> 01:30:32,319
of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Nandikardu. Also,

1313
01:30:32,760 –> 01:30:36,239
the NPF reminded the organizers and the protesters to respect

1314
01:30:36,279 –> 01:30:39,439
the Federal High Court order that restricted them from staging

1315
01:30:39,520 –> 01:30:43,279
the protest in certain areas in Abuja, such areas which

1316
01:30:43,359 –> 01:30:48,039
included Asso Rockvilla and its environs, the National Assembly Complex,

1317
01:30:48,359 –> 01:30:52,159
Force Headquarters, the Court of Appeal, Eagle Square and shoh

1318
01:30:52,239 –> 01:30:57,079
Shigari Way. While assuring the protesters of protection, the NPF,

1319
01:30:57,239 –> 01:30:59,680
in a statement issued and made a Vaila Labe by

1320
01:30:59,680 –> 01:31:04,600
the four Or spokesperson Benjamin Hundean, indicated that the Nigeria

1321
01:31:04,680 –> 01:31:08,479
Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the rule

1322
01:31:08,560 –> 01:31:13,000
of law and maintaining public peace in accordance with constitutional provisions.

1323
01:31:13,840 –> 01:31:16,840

01:31:49,359 –> 01:31:53,159
Force Headquarters, the Court of Appeal, Eagle Square and Schehu

1332
01:31:53,239 –> 01:31:56,840
Shigari Way. In deference to the authority of the Court

1333
01:31:56,920 –> 01:31:59,840
and in line with the constitutional mandate of the Police

1334
01:32:00,159 –> 01:32:03,159
in force law and order, the Force hereby calls on

1335
01:32:03,279 –> 01:32:06,000
all groups, whether in support of or opposed to the

1336
01:32:06,079 –> 01:32:10,319
ongoing agitation for the release of Marzi Namdikano, to adhere

1337
01:32:10,359 –> 01:32:14,079
strictly to the provisions of the Court Order. The directive

1338
01:32:14,199 –> 01:32:19,119
remains binding and enforcible pending further judicial proceedings. The Nigeria

1339
01:32:19,239 –> 01:32:22,640
Police Force recognizes and respects the rights of citizens to

1340
01:32:22,720 –> 01:32:27,720
peaceful assembly and expression. However, such rights must be exercised

1341
01:32:27,760 –> 01:32:31,199
responsibly and within the limits of the law, particularly where

1342
01:32:31,239 –> 01:32:35,319
public safety, national security, and the rights of other citizens

1343
01:32:35,359 –> 01:32:39,760
are concerned. The Court’s intervention is therefore a safeguard, not

1344
01:32:39,920 –> 01:32:45,880
a suppression of constitutional freedoms. Accordingly, all intending protesters and

1345
01:32:46,000 –> 01:32:49,880
counter protest groups are strongly advised to avoid restricted areas,

1346
01:32:49,920 –> 01:32:53,479
and to refrain from any act capable of provoking confrontation

1347
01:32:53,800 –> 01:32:57,479
or disturbing public order. The Force will ensure the free

1348
01:32:57,600 –> 01:33:01,560
flow of traffic, protection of lives and property, and security

1349
01:33:01,640 –> 01:33:05,479
of all law abiding citizens. Any person or group that

1350
01:33:05,640 –> 01:33:09,399
uses protests as cover to incite violence, carry or use

1351
01:33:09,479 –> 01:33:14,640
offensive weapons, vandalize public or private property, kidnap, or engage

1352
01:33:14,720 –> 01:33:17,560
in acts likely to cause loss of life or serious

1353
01:33:17,640 –> 01:33:21,640
injury will be dealt with decisively. Offenders will be arrested,

1354
01:33:22,039 –> 01:33:26,760
subjected to full investigation, and prosecuted under relevant criminal laws,

1355
01:33:27,279 –> 01:33:31,399
including laws relating to public order, violent conduct, and terrorism

1356
01:33:31,439 –> 01:33:35,720
where applicable. Those who incite others via social media or

1357
01:33:35,800 –> 01:33:38,920
other platforms should note that digital evidence will be used

1358
01:33:38,960 –> 01:33:44,560
in investigations and prosecutions. The Inspector General of Police IGP

1359
01:33:44,800 –> 01:33:49,279
car yode Adeolu egg Beatoken has directed the FCT, Commissioner

1360
01:33:49,319 –> 01:33:53,479
of Police and relevant operational commands to ensure strict enforcement

1361
01:33:53,600 –> 01:33:57,600
of the Court’s order, maintain visible and strategic deployments across

1362
01:33:57,680 –> 01:34:00,960
vulnerable locations, and ensure the samee fafety of residents and

1363
01:34:01,079 –> 01:34:06,279
lawful activities in the FCT. All organizers and participants are

1364
01:34:06,279 –> 01:34:10,600
therefore advised to avoid the restricted areas specified by the court,

1365
01:34:11,399 –> 01:34:16,279
refrain from carrying weapons, engaging in provocative conduct or encouraging

1366
01:34:16,359 –> 01:34:20,479
others to breach the law, and channel grievances through the

1367
01:34:20,560 –> 01:34:24,239
courts and other lawful avenues rather than the streets. The

1368
01:34:24,399 –> 01:34:29,119
Nigeria Police Force assures law abiding Nigerians that adequate security

1369
01:34:29,239 –> 01:34:33,159
arrangements have been made to protect lives and property. Non

1370
01:34:33,279 –> 01:34:37,640
participants should go about their lawful businesses without fear. Anyone

1371
01:34:37,800 –> 01:34:40,119
found to be in breach of the Court’s order or

1372
01:34:40,199 –> 01:34:43,039
in contempt of the law will be arrested and prosecuted.

1373
01:34:43,800 –> 01:34:46,840
We had reported that the founder of Sahara Reporters News

1374
01:34:46,960 –> 01:34:50,319
media and the organizer of the Free Namdi Carnu protest,

1375
01:34:50,800 –> 01:34:54,600
Homiele Sawarre, has refuted and debunked the reports circulating in

1376
01:34:54,760 –> 01:34:57,680
some sections of the media that the Federal High Court

1377
01:34:57,800 –> 01:35:01,279
sitting in Abuja has stopped the up coming Monday, October

1378
01:35:01,359 –> 01:35:04,760
twentieth mass protest organized to demand the release of the

1379
01:35:04,840 –> 01:35:10,720
detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Nandikanu saying the media

1380
01:35:10,840 –> 01:35:14,279
report is false and a calculated attempt to distract members

1381
01:35:14,319 –> 01:35:16,880
of the public from coming out to join the protest,

1382
01:35:17,199 –> 01:35:20,720
adding Namdikru is so sick that the people must come

1383
01:35:20,840 –> 01:35:23,880
out now to set him free. The sickness is alleged

1384
01:35:23,920 –> 01:35:28,079
by Omi La Sware apparently challenged the medical report issued

1385
01:35:28,119 –> 01:35:32,319
by the Nigerian Medical Association NMA, who had submitted its

1386
01:35:32,399 –> 01:35:35,800
panel report before the trial court on Thursday that Namdi

1387
01:35:35,920 –> 01:35:39,560
Carnu is fit to face trial, that the sickness is

1388
01:35:39,640 –> 01:35:43,439
not life threatening, but Hunch newspaper reporter at the court

1389
01:35:43,520 –> 01:35:46,479
on Thursday reported that it was the Department of State

1390
01:35:46,600 –> 01:35:50,079
Services DSS lawyer who happened to be one of the

1391
01:35:50,159 –> 01:35:53,920
parties in the dispute, that presented the NMA medical report

1392
01:35:54,039 –> 01:35:59,079
before the court. We are yet to ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity,

1393
01:35:59,439 –> 01:36:04,239
accuracy and transparency of the Nigerian Medical Association NME in

1394
01:36:04,359 –> 01:36:09,000
conducting the medical examination, we had reported. The Justice Mohammad

1395
01:36:09,039 –> 01:36:12,039
Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja

1396
01:36:12,159 –> 01:36:15,840
on Friday, apparently rejected the plans by the Inspector General

1397
01:36:15,920 –> 01:36:19,800
of Police IGP, car Yode egg Betoken to stop the

1398
01:36:19,960 –> 01:36:24,399
upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by Nigerians to

1399
01:36:24,479 –> 01:36:28,319
demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader

1400
01:36:28,840 –> 01:36:33,199
Marzi Namdi Kanu. But according to the organizer of the protest,

1401
01:36:33,479 –> 01:36:37,079
Omi Yene Saware. After the judge initially declined to grant

1402
01:36:37,119 –> 01:36:40,479
the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to stop

1403
01:36:40,560 –> 01:36:44,159
the planned protest in the open court, the Federal High

1404
01:36:44,199 –> 01:36:48,359
Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion in chambers

1405
01:36:48,760 –> 01:36:52,159
imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa, National

1406
01:36:52,199 –> 01:36:56,119
Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a certified

1407
01:36:56,239 –> 01:36:59,319
true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.

1408
01:36:59,640 –> 01:37:03,000
The pro test remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The

1409
01:37:03,199 –> 01:37:08,319
United States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens

1410
01:37:08,399 –> 01:37:11,119
to be far from the protest areas and limit their

1411
01:37:11,199 –> 01:37:15,960
movements in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned

1412
01:37:16,079 –> 01:37:20,039
protest may lead to destructions and violence. We had also

1413
01:37:20,159 –> 01:37:23,760
reported that the Nigerian Army Authority has issued a statement

1414
01:37:24,319 –> 01:37:27,880
denying threat messages issued against members of the public ahead

1415
01:37:27,920 –> 01:37:31,560
of the plan mass protests slated for October twentieth, twenty

1416
01:37:31,680 –> 01:37:34,600
twenty five, to demand for the release and freedom of

1417
01:37:34,680 –> 01:37:39,520
the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdi Karu, just

1418
01:37:39,640 –> 01:37:43,720
as the organizer and chief campaigner, Homiyele Saware, the publisher

1419
01:37:43,760 –> 01:37:46,960
of saha A Reporters News Media, met to seek understanding

1420
01:37:47,039 –> 01:37:51,119
with the former President of Nigeria, good Luck of Belelet Jonathan, who,

1421
01:37:51,479 –> 01:37:55,239
according to Saware, promised to visit President Bolah Ahmed to

1422
01:37:55,319 –> 01:38:05,159
Nubu to discuss the issue with him. Founder of Sahare

1423
01:38:05,279 –> 01:38:08,560
Reporters News Media and the organizer of the Free Namdi

1424
01:38:08,680 –> 01:38:13,000
Cardu protest, Omile Saware, has refuted and debunked the reports

1425
01:38:13,119 –> 01:38:16,239
circulating in some sections of the media that the Federal

1426
01:38:16,359 –> 01:38:19,960
High Court sitting in Abuja has stopped the upcoming Monday,

1427
01:38:20,039 –> 01:38:23,880
October twentieth mass protest organized to demand the release of

1428
01:38:23,960 –> 01:38:29,560
the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikranu, saying the

1429
01:38:29,680 –> 01:38:32,920
media report is false and a calculated attempt to distract

1430
01:38:33,079 –> 01:38:36,079
members of the public from coming out to join the protest,

1431
01:38:36,399 –> 01:38:39,880
adding Namdikru is so sick that the people must come

the Nigerian Medical Association n M who had submitted its

1435
01:38:51,560 –> 01:38:55,000
panel report before the trial court on Thursday that Namdi

1436
01:38:55,119 –> 01:38:58,720
Carlu is fit to face trial, that the sickness is

1437
01:38:58,800 –> 01:39:02,600
not life threatening, but Punch newspaper reporter at the court

1438
01:39:02,680 –> 01:39:05,600
on Thursday reported that it was the Department of State

1439
01:39:05,760 –> 01:39:09,199
Services PSS lawyer who happened to be one of the

1440
01:39:09,319 –> 01:39:13,079
parties in the dispute, that presented the NMA medical report

1441
01:39:13,199 –> 01:39:18,279
before the court. We are yet to ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity,

1442
01:39:18,640 –> 01:39:23,399
accuracy and transparency of the Nigerian Medical Association NME in

1443
01:39:23,520 –> 01:39:28,479
conducting the medical examination. In a statement on Saturday, Omiele

1444
01:39:28,680 –> 01:39:32,199
Sware said the Federal High Court in Abuja has not

1445
01:39:32,359 –> 01:39:36,800
stopped the proposed free Namdicanuno protests slated for Monday, October twentieth,

1446
01:39:36,920 –> 01:39:41,720
twenty twenty five. Contrary to the misleading claims being circulated

1447
01:39:41,800 –> 01:39:45,159
by police, lawyers and sections of the media, no order

1448
01:39:45,279 –> 01:39:49,439
was granted restraining citizens from exercising their constitutional right to

1449
01:39:49,520 –> 01:39:53,880
peaceful assembly. Justice Humar of the Federal High Court declined

1450
01:39:53,920 –> 01:39:56,800
to issue any ex party order sought by the police

1451
01:39:56,840 –> 01:40:00,880
to halt the nationwide protest. Altogether, what exists is are

1452
01:40:00,920 –> 01:40:05,239
purported court order obtained in chambers by lawyers of the police,

1453
01:40:05,600 –> 01:40:08,880
which has not been served on anyone asking that protesters

1454
01:40:09,000 –> 01:40:13,479
not protested. Asso Rockvilla, National Assembly, Eagle Square and a

1455
01:40:13,600 –> 01:40:17,199
certain show Shagari Way the latest false claims designed to

1456
01:40:17,279 –> 01:40:22,439
confuse the public and discouraged participation. The protest date is sacrasanct.

1457
01:40:22,840 –> 01:40:27,560
The movement is unstoppable. In another statement, Emiele Saware said,

1458
01:40:28,000 –> 01:40:30,720
I was deeply involved in the struggle for the validation

1459
01:40:30,880 –> 01:40:34,039
of the June twelfth election, and I remember vividly how

1460
01:40:34,119 –> 01:40:37,840
the system operated back then, how they weaponized the judiciary

1461
01:40:37,920 –> 01:40:41,880
to buy time, to deceive the public and to justify injustice.

1462
01:40:42,680 –> 01:40:46,319
They kept saying Aaviola’s case is in court, using that

1463
01:40:46,399 –> 01:40:49,439
as a shield for tyranny, until they eventually killed him

1464
01:40:49,479 –> 01:40:53,640
a day before his supposed release. It was a well

1465
01:40:53,800 –> 01:40:58,520
orchestrated tragedy disguised as legal processes. Today, I see the

1466
01:40:58,600 –> 01:41:02,920
same script being replaced with Marzi Namdikru, the same manipulation,

1467
01:41:03,399 –> 01:41:08,119
the same excuses, fake narrators, fake protesters, the same abuse

1468
01:41:08,159 –> 01:41:12,760
of process. The language has not changed, only the victims have.

1469
01:41:13,399 –> 01:41:17,239
History is repeating itself before our eyes, and just as

1470
01:41:17,319 –> 01:41:20,119
we fought to expose the truth. Then we must do

1471
01:41:20,319 –> 01:41:24,439
so now before it’s too late. The Nandikru i saw

1472
01:41:24,640 –> 01:41:27,880
in court on October sixteenth is very ill. We must

1473
01:41:27,960 –> 01:41:31,560
rescue him before another citizen is sacrificed to the bloodthirsty

1474
01:41:31,680 –> 01:41:36,119
Nigerian elite. Club Punch newspaper had during the week reported

1475
01:41:36,199 –> 01:41:40,520
that the Nigerian Medical Association on Thursday informed the Federal

1476
01:41:40,640 –> 01:41:43,159
High Court in Abouja that the illness of the leader

1477
01:41:43,239 –> 01:41:47,880
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Namdikru is not life threatening.

1478
01:41:48,640 –> 01:41:51,960
The medical panel set up by the NMA President said

1479
01:41:52,000 –> 01:41:54,840
it had concluded the health assessment ordered by the court

1480
01:41:54,920 –> 01:41:57,720
on the IPO B leader and found that Carnu is

1481
01:41:57,840 –> 01:42:02,279
fit to stand trial now. Two weeks ago, the trial Judge,

1482
01:42:02,720 –> 01:42:07,720
Justice James Omitosho directed the Association to independently assess Carnu’s

1483
01:42:07,760 –> 01:42:12,600
health status following conflicting medical reports presented by the defense

1484
01:42:12,680 –> 01:42:17,000
and the prosecution. While DSS Council Mister A Womeolo adding

1485
01:42:17,079 –> 01:42:22,039
boyegber San maintained that Karnu’s health could be adequately managed

1486
01:42:22,079 –> 01:42:26,479
at the DSS medical facility, the Defense Council Mister Omyachi

1487
01:42:26,520 –> 01:42:31,039
Ikpizu San insisted that his client’s health was deteriorating and

1488
01:42:31,159 –> 01:42:33,399
that he should be taken to the National Hospital for

1489
01:42:33,520 –> 01:42:37,800
proper care. This prompted Justice Omaitosho to order the NMA

1490
01:42:38,000 –> 01:42:42,680
to conduct an independent medical examination to determine, among other things,

1491
01:42:43,119 –> 01:42:46,439
whether the DSS medical facility could cater to Carnu’s needs

1492
01:42:46,479 –> 01:42:49,159
are if he should be transferred to the National Hospital

1493
01:42:49,199 –> 01:42:53,319
as requested by the defense. The report is also expected

1494
01:42:53,359 –> 01:42:57,199
to determine whether Karnu is fit to stand trial. However,

1495
01:42:57,680 –> 01:43:01,359
at the previous sitting, Homitosho had to adjourn for October

1496
01:43:01,439 –> 01:43:05,640
sixteen for the presentation of Krnu’s medical examination report by

1497
01:43:05,680 –> 01:43:08,359
the nm Due to the inability of the panel to

1498
01:43:08,439 –> 01:43:12,079
conclude its assessment of the IPO B leader’s health status

1499
01:43:12,199 –> 01:43:16,560
and present its findings before the court. The DSS requested

1500
01:43:16,600 –> 01:43:19,760
a one week adjournment to allow the NMA Medical Board

1501
01:43:19,840 –> 01:43:24,600
to conclude its investigation. Karnu is currently being prosecuted by

1502
01:43:24,680 –> 01:43:29,279
the federal government on charges relating to alleged terrorism. According

1503
01:43:29,359 –> 01:43:32,199
to the panel’s report, which was submitted to the court

1504
01:43:32,279 –> 01:43:35,600
on October thirteen by the prosecution team led by A.

1505
01:43:35,680 –> 01:43:39,560
Womelo and partly read in open court during Thursday’s proceedings,

1506
01:43:39,960 –> 01:43:43,039
the medical body stated that the defendant’s ailment does not

1507
01:43:43,239 –> 01:43:46,039
pose any immediate danger to his life and confirm that

1508
01:43:46,119 –> 01:43:49,560
he is fit to stand trial. Relying on the medical

1509
01:43:49,640 –> 01:43:52,840
findings and in the absence of any objection from Council

1510
01:43:52,880 –> 01:43:56,319
to the parties, Omatosha ruled that the court was satisfied

1511
01:43:56,399 –> 01:43:59,279
that the defendant could proceed with his trial and okayed

1512
01:43:59,319 –> 01:44:02,479
the medical forecas facility of the DSS for his medical care.

1513
01:44:03,279 –> 01:44:07,800
The judge consequently granted Carlo six consecutive days beginning from

1514
01:44:07,840 –> 01:44:11,760
October twenty third to thirty to open and close. The

1515
01:44:11,880 –> 01:44:15,159
defendant has until the thirtieth day of October to close

1516
01:44:15,239 –> 01:44:20,960
his defense, Omitosho said. Additionally, Justice Omitosha granted an oral

1517
01:44:21,000 –> 01:44:26,399
application by carnu’s lead council chief Carlu Agabi Sayn, seeking

1518
01:44:26,520 –> 01:44:29,960
permission for a private consultation between the defendant and his

1519
01:44:30,119 –> 01:44:34,880
legal team outside the Department of State Services premises. Pergabi

1520
01:44:35,000 –> 01:44:37,960
had argued that the defense team feared the discussions with

1521
01:44:38,079 –> 01:44:41,880
Carlu might be monitored or recorded by the DSS. The

1522
01:44:42,000 –> 01:44:45,079
court therefore approved that the private meeting be held within

1523
01:44:45,159 –> 01:44:48,199
the court room with only Carlu and his lawyers present.

1524
01:44:49,000 –> 01:44:52,479
The consultation is scheduled to take place between nine a m.

1525
01:44:52,640 –> 01:44:55,800
And twelve noon on October twenty second, ahead of the

1526
01:44:55,880 –> 01:44:59,880
resumption of the trial on October twenty third. The courtago

1527
01:45:00,239 –> 01:45:03,760
for continuation of the trial and commencement of Karnu’s defense

1528
01:45:03,880 –> 01:45:07,439
to the twenty third of October twenty twenty five. We

1529
01:45:07,560 –> 01:45:10,840
had reported the Justice Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal

1530
01:45:10,960 –> 01:45:14,439
High Court, sitting in Abuja on Friday, apparently rejected the

1531
01:45:14,520 –> 01:45:18,239
plans by the Inspector General of Police ig P KR

1532
01:45:18,399 –> 01:45:22,319
Yode egg Betoken to stop the upcoming Monday, October twentieth

1533
01:45:22,399 –> 01:45:25,920
plan mass protests by Nigerians to demand the release of

1534
01:45:26,000 –> 01:45:31,920
the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Nandikarnu. But according

1535
01:45:32,000 –> 01:45:35,520
to the organizer of the protest, Ami le Saware, after

1536
01:45:35,600 –> 01:45:39,000
the judge initially declined to grant the Nigeria Police Force

1537
01:45:39,079 –> 01:45:42,159
an ex party motion to stop the plan protest in

1538
01:45:42,279 –> 01:45:46,359
the open court, the Federal High Court Judge Justice Mumar

1539
01:45:46,479 –> 01:45:50,039
reportedly granted the motion in chambers imposing a ban on

1540
01:45:50,159 –> 01:45:54,279
protests at Asso Rock Villa, National Assembly or Unity Fountain

1541
01:45:54,319 –> 01:45:57,800
in Abuja. We await a certified true copy of the order,

1542
01:45:58,279 –> 01:46:02,159
which our lawyers will review. The protest remains unstoppable while

1543
01:46:02,239 –> 01:46:06,479
this is ongoing. The United States US Embassy in Nigeria

1544
01:46:06,680 –> 01:46:10,159
has warned America citizens to be far from the protest

1545
01:46:10,319 –> 01:46:14,840
areas and limit their movements in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja,

1546
01:46:15,159 –> 01:46:19,920
saying the planned protest may lead to disruptions and violence.

1547
01:46:20,319 –> 01:46:23,720
We had also reported that the Nigerian Army Authority has

1548
01:46:23,800 –> 01:46:27,920
issued a statement denying threat messages issued against members of

1549
01:46:28,000 –> 01:46:31,000
the public ahead of the plan mass protests slated for

1550
01:46:31,119 –> 01:46:34,720
October twentieth, twenty twenty five to demand for the release

1551
01:46:34,800 –> 01:46:39,119
and freedom of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi

1552
01:46:39,199 –> 01:46:43,680
Namdi Kanu, just as the organizer and chief campaigner, Amiele Saware,

1553
01:46:44,079 –> 01:46:46,880
