00:00:15,439 –> 00:00:20,480
a well meaning individuals and civil society organizations to help

her prevail on President Bola Ahmed Tenubu, the Chief of

7
00:00:24,480 –> 00:00:28,559
Defense Staff, General Olifemi Oliede and the four Brigade of

8
00:00:28,600 –> 00:00:31,760
the Nigerian Army to bring the suspected murderer of her

9
00:00:31,839 –> 00:00:35,240
husband to justice, stating that she has no knowledge if

10
00:00:35,240 –> 00:00:39,359
the soldier who allegedly committed the murder is actually being prosecuted,

11
00:00:39,719 –> 00:00:43,399
saying till date, the family has no information about the

12
00:00:43,479 –> 00:00:47,520
identity of the alleged killer or any legal action taken

13
00:00:47,640 –> 00:00:51,119
by the military authority to make the killer soldier face

14
00:00:51,240 –> 00:00:54,200
full wrath of the law, adding that the corpse of

15
00:00:54,240 –> 00:00:57,479
her husband has been in the mortuaries since the incident

16
00:00:57,520 –> 00:01:01,119
occurred on February fourteenth, twenty two, twenty six, because the

17
00:01:01,159 –> 00:01:04,319
family believed if the husband is buried, they may never

18
00:01:04,359 –> 00:01:07,519
get justice and the case may be swept under the carpet.

19
00:01:07,879 –> 00:01:10,599
The bereaved pregnant woman made the appeal in a twenty

20
00:01:10,640 –> 00:01:14,280
one minutes video made available to US fortnight ago, after

21
00:01:14,400 –> 00:01:17,799
we had earlier reported that the family of Stephen obum

22
00:01:17,879 –> 00:01:22,560
Nemme and wou has accused the Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN,

23
00:01:22,719 –> 00:01:27,040
led by General Olifemi Oliidae, the Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff,

24
00:01:27,040 –> 00:01:30,040
of attempted acts to cover up a soldier who allegedly

25
00:01:30,120 –> 00:01:33,439
murdered a young man Stephen obum Nemme and Wosu on

26
00:01:33,519 –> 00:01:38,480
February fourteenth, twenty twenty six, Valentine’s Day along bene en

27
00:01:38,519 –> 00:01:43,280
Agbor Road around Amufi Junction in Edo State. This according

28
00:01:43,280 –> 00:01:45,959
to the family member, who pleaded for her names not

29
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:49,000
to be mentioned in the press, said her brother was

30
00:01:49,040 –> 00:01:52,000
shot dead by the soldier after the deceased refused to

31
00:01:52,079 –> 00:01:54,799
hand over his car key to the soldier as demanded,

32
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:58,280
saying her brother only went out with his friend she

33
00:01:58,480 –> 00:02:01,920
identified as Godwin Koke to get chicken feed when they

34
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:04,719
encountered the soldier at the failed portion of the road

35
00:02:04,840 –> 00:02:08,960
that is currently under construction, saying the Nigerian Army has

36
00:02:09,039 –> 00:02:12,199
refused to disclose the names of the soldier who allegedly

37
00:02:12,280 –> 00:02:16,159
committed the act of murder or take appropriate lawful actions

38
00:02:16,240 –> 00:02:19,800
against the suspected murderer and in a swift reaction. When

39
00:02:19,840 –> 00:02:24,280
our reporter contacted the public relations Officer of four Brigade

40
00:02:24,319 –> 00:02:27,759
of the Nigerian Army, Captain Kennedy and Yan Muva of

41
00:02:27,879 –> 00:02:31,680
phone call on Thursday evening, the military authority said it

42
00:02:31,759 –> 00:02:34,560
is not true that the soldier in question has not

43
00:02:34,639 –> 00:02:38,599
been identified, saying the matter has been settled. And when

44
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:42,000
our reporter demanded to know how the alleged murder case

45
00:02:42,120 –> 00:02:45,479
was settled with the family, the military authority refused to

46
00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:49,680
give details. Also, when our reporter contacted the Edo State

47
00:02:49,759 –> 00:02:55,280
Command of the Nigeria Police Force public relations Officer Astho Acodim,

48
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:58,919
the police authority said the matter is under investigation and

49
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:01,840
there is no ways such matter can be swept under

50
00:03:01,879 –> 00:03:06,439
the carpet. According to the bereaved pregnant woman, eyewitnesses said

51
00:03:06,479 –> 00:03:08,800
after her husband was shot and was in the pool

52
00:03:08,840 –> 00:03:11,879
of his blood, the killer soldier wanted to abandon him,

53
00:03:11,919 –> 00:03:14,759
but the people around prevailed on him and that was

54
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:17,080
when the soldier decided to take the victim to the

55
00:03:17,120 –> 00:03:20,280
hospital and the bereaved family was later told by an

56
00:03:20,319 –> 00:03:23,360
officer that her husband was pronounced dead at the hospital,

57
00:03:23,719 –> 00:03:26,800
but she and the family believed the officer is lying because,

58
00:03:27,039 –> 00:03:30,439
according to her, when the bereaved family visited the hospital,

59
00:03:30,479 –> 00:03:33,800
the officer claimed their son was taken to the doctor

60
00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:36,919
at the hospital denied receiving such person as a patient.

61
00:03:37,680 –> 00:03:41,439
The woman noted that on Tuesday, February seventeen, twenty twenty

62
00:03:41,479 –> 00:03:44,960
six officials from the four Brigade of the Nigerian Army,

63
00:03:45,319 –> 00:03:48,400
the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police Force, and

64
00:03:48,439 –> 00:03:52,560
the construction company visited the bereaved family house. Unsympathized with

65
00:03:52,639 –> 00:03:55,599
the family and assured the family the due process would

66
00:03:55,599 –> 00:03:59,439
be followed to make sure the soldier who allegedly committed

67
00:03:59,439 –> 00:04:03,439
the crime is prosecuted. But ever since, the bereaved family

68
00:04:03,560 –> 00:04:06,759
had had several meetings with the Edo’s State Police Command

69
00:04:06,800 –> 00:04:10,560
and the military authorities, and yet no reasonable thing has

70
00:04:10,599 –> 00:04:13,039
been said to assure the family that the suspect is

71
00:04:13,120 –> 00:04:16,560
actually being prosecuted and the compensation they claim to pay

72
00:04:16,759 –> 00:04:21,199
is being processed. Continuing, the young widow said till date,

73
00:04:21,319 –> 00:04:23,319
she does not know the name of the soldier who

74
00:04:23,399 –> 00:04:26,240
killed her husband. Or the military command he worked with

75
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:29,279
for her to always remember the man who killed her husband,

76
00:04:29,560 –> 00:04:32,800
begging the military authority to at least allow her access

77
00:04:32,839 –> 00:04:36,480
to such information. The young widow said she wrote through

78
00:04:36,519 –> 00:04:39,319
her lawyer to the edo’s State Commissioner of Police to

79
00:04:39,360 –> 00:04:43,040
take the matter to court, but ever since still the

80
00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:45,160
case has not been taken to court and she is

81
00:04:45,279 –> 00:04:47,879
no longer trusting the way and manner the police is

82
00:04:47,920 –> 00:04:51,600
handling the issue, hence her coming out publicly to beg

83
00:04:51,680 –> 00:04:55,279
and appeal for anyone to help her get justice. All

84
00:04:55,319 –> 00:04:58,959
I am seeking for is justice for my husband, the

85
00:04:59,040 –> 00:05:03,079
soldier identifi tried and prosecuted, so that it will be

86
00:05:03,160 –> 00:05:06,519
on record that my husband was murdered and when the

87
00:05:06,639 –> 00:05:09,439
children grow up, they will know that their father was

88
00:05:09,480 –> 00:05:13,040
not involved in any criminal activity. We have a two

89
00:05:13,120 –> 00:05:15,439
year old boy and the one we are expecting.

90
00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:23,759
Speaker 2: She said, Hi everyone, my name is missus Irene Abunami.

91
00:05:25,199 –> 00:05:26,199
Speaker 3: I’m the wife to.

92
00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: The victim, mister Stephen abunemen Wisha.

93
00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:38,959
Speaker 3: I’m here too plead.

94
00:05:39,839 –> 00:05:43,399
Speaker 2: Through any relevant agency that can help me to seek

95
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:47,360
justice for the astral judicial killing of my husband.

96
00:05:48,319 –> 00:05:55,199
Speaker 3: On the fourteenth of February twenty twenty six. My husband

97
00:05:55,240 –> 00:05:58,839
had left home at a bounce.

98
00:06:00,079 –> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: Eight fifty am thereabouts to go get feed for his beds.

99
00:06:11,319 –> 00:06:13,319
Speaker 3: He runs the poetry.

100
00:06:15,439 –> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: And I could remember calling me Mats around ten forty eight,

101
00:06:22,879 –> 00:06:26,720
and he told me vividly that he was ready on

102
00:06:26,759 –> 00:06:33,519
his way back home, that I would see him. So

103
00:06:33,519 –> 00:06:38,079
I would have for over an hour, and then I

104
00:06:38,160 –> 00:06:43,160
tried calling him back. It rang at the first doll

105
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:49,120
and when I tried again, his boat lines were switched off.

106
00:06:50,839 –> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: I thought maybe he was caught up in.

107
00:06:54,360 –> 00:07:01,759
Speaker 2: Maybe something else or maybe traffic, and only for me

108
00:07:01,920 –> 00:07:05,639
to see his friend.

109
00:07:06,319 –> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: A few as.

110
00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:11,759
Speaker 2: Some hours later, his friend came home and said I

111
00:07:11,839 –> 00:07:18,519
should come with him, that they had an altercation with

112
00:07:18,720 –> 00:07:25,839
a soldier and that he doesn’t know if the soldier

113
00:07:26,040 –> 00:07:30,240
took him to the bar or any of the police

114
00:07:30,480 –> 00:07:31,519
nearest police station.

115
00:07:33,519 –> 00:07:35,399
Speaker 3: So I got dressed and followed.

116
00:07:35,079 –> 00:07:40,759
Speaker 2: Him went to the nearest police station. On getting there,

117
00:07:41,439 –> 00:07:47,240
after I had spence over an hour for any of

118
00:07:47,279 –> 00:07:51,959
the officers or somebody to talk to me or tell

119
00:07:52,040 –> 00:07:55,720
me something, because they had asked me to wait for

120
00:07:55,759 –> 00:07:58,639
the Deep. Heal that he wasn’t on the seats, that

121
00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:04,879
when he comes he will address the issue.

122
00:08:05,959 –> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: Only for the Deep to command. Tell me that you’re sorry.

123
00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:21,839
Speaker 2: That he diseased, has been taken to the mortuary, that

124
00:08:21,959 –> 00:08:23,399
he did not make it.

125
00:08:25,839 –> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: I got confused.

126
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: Because I don’t understand what could have transpired to the

127
00:08:36,919 –> 00:08:42,559
point of me getting such news. At that point, I

128
00:08:42,720 –> 00:08:46,360
was I was in shock. I was in disbelief. All

129
00:08:46,480 –> 00:08:49,360
I just don’t take I just thought, emok it, just

130
00:08:49,480 –> 00:08:54,759
take me to him. I just want to see him.

131
00:08:55,600 –> 00:09:00,279
Just maybe let me see him and understand what you’re saying.

132
00:09:02,240 –> 00:09:06,519
Then they said we should come to the state CID.

133
00:09:07,799 –> 00:09:10,639
At the time, I was thinking, maybe he’s at the

134
00:09:10,679 –> 00:09:14,519
State’s see ID. I was just in total disbelief. I

135
00:09:14,519 –> 00:09:17,360
didn’t want to take. I didn’t take or buy what

136
00:09:17,559 –> 00:09:19,519
depo was saying that he.

137
00:09:19,559 –> 00:09:20,279
Speaker 4: Did not make it.

138
00:09:22,279 –> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: So when they said you should go to the State’s CID,

139
00:09:25,039 –> 00:09:30,759
I thought, Okay, probably that’s where he is. Only for

140
00:09:30,840 –> 00:09:35,559
us to get to the State’s s ID. After many

141
00:09:35,879 –> 00:09:40,360
back and forths go here do this. They brought out

142
00:09:40,519 –> 00:09:44,799
the soldier and said this is the soldier that shot

143
00:09:44,840 –> 00:09:45,639
to her husband.

144
00:09:46,879 –> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: I was still confused.

145
00:09:49,240 –> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: Next thing they said, the Commissioner of Police in a Doose, States.

146
00:09:56,279 –> 00:09:58,519
Speaker 3: Invited us to his office.

147
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Got there, I saw the commissioner seated and the brigade

148
00:10:05,399 –> 00:10:11,919
the commander seated to and all I could hear was

149
00:10:12,720 –> 00:10:16,600
was so sorry, it is not in our ethics this

150
00:10:16,879 –> 00:10:21,799
and that the soldier would be the case of the

151
00:10:21,879 –> 00:10:27,120
investigated and the soldier will be prosecuted. They were saying

152
00:10:27,120 –> 00:10:32,080
so many things that wasn’t making sense. And I told

153
00:10:32,159 –> 00:10:34,919
him take me to where he is. That was just all,

154
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:39,799
let me see him. Then they handed me over his

155
00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:44,639
phones and said they were going to take me to.

156
00:10:46,600 –> 00:10:47,159
Speaker 3: Where he is.

157
00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: But then when we came down, while waiting for them

158
00:10:55,639 –> 00:10:59,919
to take me to the montored, they said they’ve taken.

159
00:10:59,720 –> 00:11:00,039
Speaker 5: Him to.

160
00:11:01,480 –> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: Next thing they said was it was already late, that.

161
00:11:05,039 –> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: The IPO isn’t here, and the IPO was the one

162
00:11:10,600 –> 00:11:13,600
who took the body to the mortuary, and the APIO

163
00:11:13,720 –> 00:11:16,919
needs to give us a tag that would allow the

164
00:11:16,960 –> 00:11:23,480
mortuary attendance to allow us eight to see him. And

165
00:11:23,679 –> 00:11:29,159
the fact that I’m pregnant. I was already I think

166
00:11:29,240 –> 00:11:31,960
sis month’s gone at the time, And the fact that

167
00:11:32,039 –> 00:11:38,559
I’m pregnant, I can’t come into the mortuary. As they

168
00:11:38,559 –> 00:11:42,759
were saying, all of this time was already running past.

169
00:11:42,759 –> 00:11:46,600
I think it was already late. It was already past

170
00:11:46,759 –> 00:11:53,679
seven or to eight, something like that eight period. I

171
00:11:53,799 –> 00:11:58,120
was confused. Nobody was agreeing to take me there. I

172
00:11:58,159 –> 00:12:00,279
didn’t know my way to the place. I don’t even

173
00:12:00,360 –> 00:12:06,080
know where. I was just confused, and for the fact

174
00:12:06,120 –> 00:12:10,480
that I was in so much denial that there’s no

175
00:12:10,600 –> 00:12:17,399
way my husband would be dead. I came back home

176
00:12:17,559 –> 00:12:24,519
on that fourtunes, came back hoping and praying. I hoped

177
00:12:24,600 –> 00:12:30,200
so much. I prayed so much that it should just

178
00:12:30,360 –> 00:12:35,399
be a dream, a nightmare, or maybe even a prank,

179
00:12:36,639 –> 00:12:38,639
or it should just let her be a miracle.

180
00:12:40,960 –> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: I prayed.

181
00:12:41,639 –> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: I hoped for a miracle that by morning, which was

182
00:12:46,600 –> 00:12:53,559
on the fifteenth of February, that I will be told.

183
00:12:52,519 –> 00:12:57,759
He came back that I would be told. Probably they

184
00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:01,120
noticed life still in game, and then they rushed it

185
00:13:01,200 –> 00:13:09,240
to the hospital. I prayed, hopie, and then on the fifteenth,

186
00:13:10,200 –> 00:13:14,960
that was on a Sunday, around ten am, I went

187
00:13:15,039 –> 00:13:19,559
back to the police station. At the time, I had

188
00:13:20,360 –> 00:13:24,240
had informed my parents.

189
00:13:24,919 –> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: And some family members.

190
00:13:28,080 –> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: So we went to the police station. Before the officers

191
00:13:32,399 –> 00:13:35,159
there said the appeal went to church. We had to

192
00:13:35,279 –> 00:13:39,639
wait for Repio to come back from church. This and that.

193
00:13:41,840 –> 00:13:45,120
While waiting, I got angry, and then I met the

194
00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:49,039
officer and said, call the IPO. This is this is

195
00:13:49,159 –> 00:13:52,720
something we would just sit and be waiting around for

196
00:13:52,799 –> 00:13:56,279
Repio to come any time before they would take us

197
00:13:56,320 –> 00:13:59,399
to the more child. They said, they deposited his body.

198
00:14:02,120 –> 00:14:04,159
Let him tell us how we go about it. If

199
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:07,039
it means the ip or having to speak with mortuary

200
00:14:07,120 –> 00:14:11,879
attendance to let us in or something. That was when

201
00:14:12,799 –> 00:14:17,320
the officer then made the cop to the IPEO and

202
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:22,120
then they said we could go to the mortuary, get

203
00:14:22,159 –> 00:14:26,720
it to the montuary. I was not allowed in. My

204
00:14:26,879 –> 00:14:34,799
family members got some land. They were sure the body

205
00:14:35,480 –> 00:14:39,960
and he came out to tell me, tell me that’s

206
00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:42,759
truly my husband was coming.

207
00:14:46,960 –> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: My whole world chromeboard, My whole world chromeboard.

208
00:14:58,320 –> 00:15:03,559
Speaker 2: Even as that, I still I didn’t believe it. I

209
00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:10,639
still hoped that it can’t be. I still hoped. I

210
00:15:10,840 –> 00:15:15,039
prayed that there was no ways I was.

211
00:15:15,080 –> 00:15:18,159
Speaker 3: Going to end like that. There was no way mans

212
00:15:18,159 –> 00:15:20,279
man’s life was going to end like that.

213
00:15:21,360 –> 00:15:26,559
Speaker 2: I still hoped. I still prayed. I was still in denial. Okay,

214
00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:34,240
this mode of may would make it three months I

215
00:15:34,320 –> 00:15:37,080
have been in denial. I have been in total shock.

216
00:15:37,480 –> 00:15:40,720
And for the fact that I have not seen him,

217
00:15:40,879 –> 00:15:42,360
I have come to terms that.

218
00:15:44,240 –> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: He’s gone. After that.

219
00:15:50,440 –> 00:15:59,279
Speaker 2: Day, I asked questions. His friend said, they were already

220
00:15:59,320 –> 00:16:05,639
close to the house. For the fact, the highway the

221
00:16:05,799 –> 00:16:14,200
least saw our residence, it’s under construction, so they didn’t

222
00:16:14,240 –> 00:16:19,600
know the other lane was blocked because they didn’t block

223
00:16:19,639 –> 00:16:20,759
it at the entrance.

224
00:16:21,879 –> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: So they came into the other lane. Getting close to.

225
00:16:28,960 –> 00:16:38,279
Speaker 2: The entrance to our residents, they saw the cushion line.

226
00:16:38,720 –> 00:16:42,240
His friend was the one driving. My hus dad didn’t

227
00:16:42,240 –> 00:16:45,360
go out with this car. He went out with his

228
00:16:45,480 –> 00:16:49,559
friend and his friend was the one driving. So when

229
00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:54,799
they sudden cushion line, he tried to reverse the car

230
00:16:55,559 –> 00:16:59,600
to make it turn and used the order lane that

231
00:16:59,639 –> 00:17:02,799
they had left for motorists.

232
00:17:02,159 –> 00:17:07,559
Speaker 3: Who were coming and going to use. While making that,

233
00:17:07,759 –> 00:17:08,480
you told.

234
00:17:09,880 –> 00:17:16,279
Speaker 2: The soldier accosted amand demanded for the car. His friend said.

235
00:17:17,559 –> 00:17:23,079
They said, he told the soldier sorry, we didn’t see

236
00:17:23,079 –> 00:17:26,880
it some time. Besides, I was ready tony to go

237
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:34,279
join the other motorists. And then he ignored the soldier

238
00:17:34,279 –> 00:17:40,480
and completed the tourney, only fall into side the soldiers

239
00:17:40,880 –> 00:17:46,640
from his side mirror on a bike, chasing their car

240
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:55,079
shooting at a car that they drove, and they panicked,

241
00:17:55,720 –> 00:17:59,359
he said, him and my husband panicked for the.

242
00:17:59,359 –> 00:18:04,799
Speaker 3: Soldier to be shooting at the car. They panicked, and.

243
00:18:04,680 –> 00:18:09,279
Speaker 2: Then and the dog packing the car at the first

244
00:18:09,279 –> 00:18:15,359
station that wasn’t operating. As the person he came down,

245
00:18:16,039 –> 00:18:22,079
he said, said that came down first was running. He

246
00:18:22,119 –> 00:18:27,119
came down and then saws stopped running. And for the

247
00:18:27,160 –> 00:18:31,680
fact that not very long train, I’ve known him to

248
00:18:31,759 –> 00:18:38,200
be someone that’s who do run in that situation. For

249
00:18:38,279 –> 00:18:41,279
the fact that he knows he has done no wrong,

250
00:18:42,559 –> 00:18:49,319
he wouldn’t. I’m sure I was that he stopped. Should

251
00:18:49,720 –> 00:18:54,359
he stopped when he realized I hadn’t done any crime.

252
00:18:54,960 –> 00:19:02,039
I hadn’t done anything wrong the way road, And when

253
00:19:02,039 –> 00:19:06,200
I think about it, I wish I wish he kept running.

254
00:19:08,960 –> 00:19:16,720
I wish he did stop. I wish I was I

255
00:19:16,759 –> 00:19:22,279
was going to shoot to kill. I wish he had

256
00:19:22,359 –> 00:19:29,000
considered dreading. But then he stopped and his friend araund

257
00:19:29,079 –> 00:19:34,960
past it and escaped, and then eye wit necessar. The

258
00:19:35,039 –> 00:19:40,440
suy said when the Isodia came to him, he was

259
00:19:40,519 –> 00:19:45,200
telling him that he wasn’t the one driving. He had

260
00:19:45,279 –> 00:19:49,799
told his friend to pull over. Let him know the issue,

261
00:19:49,839 –> 00:19:54,359
why the Swoda will be shooting at the car? What

262
00:19:54,720 –> 00:19:59,039
they planted that they have don’t know wrong? So why

263
00:19:59,079 –> 00:20:04,920
should have been like that? And then the soldier shot him.

264
00:20:09,400 –> 00:20:14,240
So after he had shot at my husband.

265
00:20:16,880 –> 00:20:21,079
Speaker 3: He made to leave him there in the cool of

266
00:20:21,160 –> 00:20:25,319
his own blood. But then I witnesses accosted him and

267
00:20:25,480 –> 00:20:31,079
said he can’t leave him there. That was why.

268
00:20:30,960 –> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: Took him, took him and said they said the officer said,

269
00:20:43,680 –> 00:20:50,319
the soldier said, he took him to a hospital and

270
00:20:50,480 –> 00:20:55,319
the doctor confirmed him Dad. That was then then I

271
00:20:55,519 –> 00:20:58,200
took him to the police station.

272
00:20:58,680 –> 00:21:03,759
Speaker 3: As I’m there to the mort women went to the.

273
00:21:03,799 –> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: Hospital to ask the doctor said, who cannot remember any

274
00:21:11,079 –> 00:21:19,599
victim or any patients that was brought in a wounded

275
00:21:19,680 –> 00:21:22,839
then a gone show to their patients that was brought

276
00:21:22,920 –> 00:21:26,839
in that you can’t remember having such face in his hospital.

277
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:35,920
On the fourteenth of February and since then the events

278
00:21:36,119 –> 00:21:43,599
on the seventeenths on its Tuesday, the Commissioner of Police,

279
00:21:45,519 –> 00:21:52,960
the Brigade General deferred to Brigade General and endostates and

280
00:21:53,119 –> 00:22:02,960
representatives from the Vinia Saba Concession construction company they visited.

281
00:22:03,160 –> 00:22:11,880
They paid a condolence visits. They visited the house, said

282
00:22:12,319 –> 00:22:16,160
sympathized the family and assured us.

283
00:22:18,920 –> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: That due process would be taken to see.

284
00:22:26,559 –> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: That the soldier is persecuted. And they are sure that

285
00:22:35,599 –> 00:22:44,400
he was still in the police cost study. So we

286
00:22:44,640 –> 00:22:53,519
believed them. And ever since then, it’s been one meeting

287
00:22:53,640 –> 00:22:59,039
or the other, because they also agreed to compensate the

288
00:22:59,160 –> 00:23:05,240
family for the loss. Even though I know that there’s

289
00:23:05,480 –> 00:23:14,319
no amount of conversation that would ever replace my husband,

290
00:23:17,440 –> 00:23:18,839
I would ever make hope.

291
00:23:22,559 –> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 3: For his debts, and so.

292
00:23:34,000 –> 00:23:38,359

295
00:23:54,880 –> 00:23:58,240
So assure us that they are keeping to their awards

296
00:23:59,519 –> 00:24:03,480
of making you share the soldier pays for his crime.

297
00:24:05,720 –> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: But today I don’t know the name of the soldier.

298
00:24:10,359 –> 00:24:17,240
I don’t know the command he was sent from. Nothing,

299
00:24:17,680 –> 00:24:21,079

00:27:38,440 –> 00:27:42,039
Harum captivity has been released, in addition to a gory

338
00:27:42,319 –> 00:27:46,279
video earlier released by the terrorists wherein they beheaded almost

339
00:27:46,400 –> 00:27:49,960
six men who the insurgents said tried to escape among

340
00:27:50,079 –> 00:27:54,079
the kidnapped victims. This had led to public outcry and demonstrations,

341
00:27:54,400 –> 00:27:58,079
but according to Punch newspaper, protesters are reportedly denied the

342
00:27:58,200 –> 00:28:02,079
rights to protest in Vadaguri, the Borno State capital, saying

343
00:28:02,480 –> 00:28:06,440
the army reportedly deployed tax and heavily armed personnel to

344
00:28:06,519 –> 00:28:10,240
filling Polo, the venue of the recent planned protests, forcing

345
00:28:10,319 –> 00:28:15,400
the demonstrators to withdraw, quoting Somala Kaigamma, leader of the protesters,

346
00:28:15,880 –> 00:28:19,920
as saying the atmosphere created by the military deployment made

347
00:28:20,079 –> 00:28:24,000
it impossible for citizens to continue with the demonstration. That

348
00:28:24,119 –> 00:28:28,200
the development is deeply disturbing in a constitutional democracy. It

349
00:28:28,319 –> 00:28:31,039
may be recalled that we have reported that President Bola

350
00:28:31,160 –> 00:28:35,000
Ahmed Tenubu of Nigeria may have kept mute since more

351
00:28:35,079 –> 00:28:38,279
than forty eight hours. A faction of the Boko Haram

352
00:28:38,440 –> 00:28:42,720
terrorists showed off four hundred and sixteen people, mostly women

353
00:28:42,839 –> 00:28:46,240
and children, kidnapped and held hostage when the members of

354
00:28:46,279 –> 00:28:51,200
the Jamatu Ali’s Sonna literality Walgi hard Jazz launched a

355
00:28:51,279 –> 00:28:54,720
large scale combat actions between fourth to the sixth of

356
00:28:54,839 –> 00:28:57,839
March twenty twenty six against the men of the Armed

357
00:28:57,880 –> 00:29:02,960
Forces of Nigeria AFN overran the Africa Country military base

358
00:29:03,039 –> 00:29:06,720
at in Gosh, killing several soldiers, a figure the Nigeria

359
00:29:06,799 –> 00:29:11,039
authority disputed to be fourteen after several reports indicated that

360
00:29:11,200 –> 00:29:14,559
more than forty soldiers were killed during the attack, in

361
00:29:14,640 –> 00:29:18,319
addition to more than one hundred civilians, including Chief Immal

362
00:29:18,480 –> 00:29:22,839
of Ingosh alongside the community elders killed during the coordinated

363
00:29:22,920 –> 00:29:26,359
attacks that lasted days at in Gosh community in Guosa

364
00:29:26,480 –> 00:29:30,960
local Government area of Borno State. This During the attacks,

365
00:29:31,359 –> 00:29:34,759
numbers of people were also taken hostage by the insurgents,

366
00:29:35,240 –> 00:29:39,119
with speculations indicating that the hostages are apparently being held

367
00:29:39,200 –> 00:29:42,240
at the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, which sit

368
00:29:42,359 –> 00:29:46,160
wide across the Nigeria border with Cameroon. In the released video,

369
00:29:46,599 –> 00:29:49,839
one of the spokespersons of the Boko Harum group said

370
00:29:49,960 –> 00:29:52,720
they decided to release a proof of life video of

371
00:29:52,799 –> 00:29:55,759
the four hundred and sixteen women and children in their

372
00:29:55,839 –> 00:29:59,119
captivity following the demands made across to them by the

373
00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:03,200
Borno South Futh’s Alliance Bossier and according to the statement

374
00:30:03,279 –> 00:30:06,480
issued by the bossier when they made the video public

375
00:30:06,640 –> 00:30:10,599
on Friday, April tenth, twenty twenty six, the Youth’s group

376
00:30:10,720 –> 00:30:13,720
called on federal government and governments at all level to

377
00:30:13,880 –> 00:30:17,880
ensure the hostages are released, saying specifically that we have

378
00:30:18,000 –> 00:30:22,480
witness cases in states such as Socoto, Zamfara, Katsina and

379
00:30:22,680 –> 00:30:27,839
kevy Ware abducted victims regained freedom following interventions by individuals

380
00:30:27,960 –> 00:30:31,880
such as Sheik Armored Gumi. We therefore expect equal urgency

381
00:30:31,960 –> 00:30:34,839
and commitment in addressing the plight of being gosh victims.

382
00:30:35,400 –> 00:30:38,039
No region or group of citizens should be treated with

383
00:30:38,200 –> 00:30:41,759
less priority. In one of the recent videos sent by

384
00:30:41,799 –> 00:30:45,039
the Boco Harum terrorists to the Borno Youths Group, the

385
00:30:45,160 –> 00:30:49,799
group said Borno South Youth Alliance Bossia yesterday now some

386
00:30:50,079 –> 00:30:54,119
days ago at about five eighteen PM, received the disturbing

387
00:30:54,240 –> 00:30:57,519
video showing the execution of about four to five men,

388
00:30:58,039 –> 00:31:01,559
both old and young, who reported attempted to escape from

389
00:31:01,640 –> 00:31:06,279
jazz Boco Harum captivity. We at Buorno South Youth Alliance

390
00:31:06,720 –> 00:31:11,720
BOSSIA have tried every possible intervention and humanitarian process available,

391
00:31:12,200 –> 00:31:15,279
yet the four hundred and sixteen women, children and a

392
00:31:15,359 –> 00:31:18,559
few men in captivity have largely been abandoned to their fate.

393
00:31:19,400 –> 00:31:22,599
This video is not intended to promote terrorism or any

394
00:31:22,720 –> 00:31:25,880
act related to it, but rather to expose the painful

395
00:31:25,960 –> 00:31:29,880
reality on them ground, a reality we have spent over

396
00:31:29,960 –> 00:31:34,680
two months trying to prevent through continuous mediation and humanitarian pleas.

397
00:31:35,519 –> 00:31:39,359
Borno South Youth Alliance Bossier is calling on well meaning

398
00:31:39,519 –> 00:31:45,400
Southern Borno indagens, political office holders, political aspirants, every patriotic

399
00:31:45,519 –> 00:31:50,079
Nigerian from the North, South, East and West, as well

400
00:31:50,079 –> 00:31:53,799
as international organizations to urgently come to the rescue of

401
00:31:53,880 –> 00:31:57,279
these four hundred and sixteen women and children by supporting

402
00:31:57,319 –> 00:32:00,640
efforts toward the release of the first fifty women and children.

403
00:32:00,680 –> 00:32:04,640
As earlier announced, four to five people are already dead,

404
00:32:05,079 –> 00:32:07,960
more victims are sick and some men who attempted to

405
00:32:08,119 –> 00:32:12,559
escape have now been killed. Lives are involved and unimaginable

406
00:32:12,640 –> 00:32:16,160
suffering is taking place in captivity among these helpless people

407
00:32:16,240 –> 00:32:20,200
who feel abandoned and forgotten. Boco Harm released a new

408
00:32:20,319 –> 00:32:23,440
video of four hundred and sixteen in gosh abducted women

409
00:32:23,519 –> 00:32:26,680
and children crying for help after being abandoned by state

410
00:32:26,759 –> 00:32:31,000
and federal government, including Borno South Senator. Let the world

411
00:32:31,119 –> 00:32:35,000
see and remember that the Nigerian government, Borno State government,

412
00:32:35,480 –> 00:32:39,519
the Senator representing Southern Borno, the House of Representatives, member,

413
00:32:39,960 –> 00:32:44,119
House of Assembly members and chairmen representing Guosa Local government

414
00:32:44,279 –> 00:32:47,240
have abandoned these helpless women and children to their fate

415
00:32:47,319 –> 00:32:50,880
and have refused to secure their freedom by all possible means.

416
00:32:51,799 –> 00:32:56,440
Let the world human rights organizations and international bodies such

417
00:32:56,480 –> 00:33:00,119
as the United Nations, Amnesty International and other do the

418
00:33:00,240 –> 00:33:02,720
see and remember how the lives of four hundred and

419
00:33:02,839 –> 00:33:06,960
sixteen women and children are being disregarded and devalued. Let

420
00:33:07,039 –> 00:33:10,079
the world know that under this government, four hundred and

421
00:33:10,200 –> 00:33:13,400
sixteen women and children were kidnapped and under both the

422
00:33:13,480 –> 00:33:17,279
federal and state governments, no meaningful action has been taken.

423
00:33:18,119 –> 00:33:20,759
Let the world hear directly from the mouths of these

424
00:33:20,880 –> 00:33:24,440
captives that their federal government has failed them, their state

425
00:33:24,519 –> 00:33:28,279
government has abandoned them, and their senator representing Southern Borno

426
00:33:28,400 –> 00:33:31,680
has ignored and even complicated the process of their release.

427
00:33:32,519 –> 00:33:36,799
Borno South View for Alliance Bossia organized a peaceful protest

428
00:33:36,839 –> 00:33:40,880
in Maidaguri, the Borno State capital, but the government responded

429
00:33:40,960 –> 00:33:44,160
by deploying heavy military presence and formations as though we

430
00:33:44,319 –> 00:33:48,240
were terrorists, while the real terrorists move freely, kidnapping and

431
00:33:48,359 –> 00:33:52,279
killing our people daily with little or no resistance. If

432
00:33:52,319 –> 00:33:55,039
the world is truly watching, then let them know that

433
00:33:55,160 –> 00:33:59,400
we are facing oppression from both sides. Political slavery has

434
00:33:59,480 –> 00:34:02,680
silenced us for too long, but we will remain silent

435
00:34:02,799 –> 00:34:04,880
no more because they have shown us that we are

436
00:34:04,960 –> 00:34:09,320
only useful to them every four years during elections. Borno

437
00:34:09,480 –> 00:34:14,159
South Youth Alliance BOSSIA remains committed to humanitarian mediation and

438
00:34:14,280 –> 00:34:17,440
discussions toward the release of our engsh four hundred and

439
00:34:17,599 –> 00:34:21,320
sixteen women and children. Though we are exhausted and deeply

440
00:34:21,440 –> 00:34:24,679
disappointed by the lack of concerns shown toward our people

441
00:34:24,760 –> 00:34:28,239
and our peaceful existence, we still call upon the government,

442
00:34:28,639 –> 00:34:33,760
every well meaning Nigerian international organizations and even individuals willing

443
00:34:33,840 –> 00:34:38,199
to help secure the release of these helpless women and children. Already,

444
00:34:38,679 –> 00:34:42,280
some newborn babies and children have reportedly died from sickness

445
00:34:42,360 –> 00:34:46,599
and infections in captivity. More innocent lives may be lost

446
00:34:46,639 –> 00:34:50,920
divergent action is not taken. Fifty women and children can

447
00:34:50,960 –> 00:34:53,840
be released today if fifty million Nyira is raised and

448
00:34:53,960 –> 00:35:00,639
offered to their captors. Nigerians, International organizations and compassionate individuals

449
00:35:00,719 –> 00:35:03,360
around the world are urged to help save these innocent

450
00:35:03,480 –> 00:35:06,760
life Since the government has shown its true attitude toward

451
00:35:06,840 –> 00:35:11,840
these suffering people regardless of religion, let us consider humanity first.

452
00:35:12,320 –> 00:35:15,480
Some save their Muslims, so Muslims alone should help them out.

453
00:35:15,960 –> 00:35:18,719
Both Muslims and Christians are at the receiving end of

454
00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:22,880
this menace. Lets be humans before anything. With due respect

455
00:35:22,920 –> 00:35:26,599
to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, his

456
00:35:26,719 –> 00:35:31,000
Excellency Bolah Ahmed to Nubu, the world soul and Nigerian’s

457
00:35:31,039 –> 00:35:34,360
witnessed the kidnapping of four hundred and sixteen women and

458
00:35:34,480 –> 00:35:37,559
children in engosh who Ows, a local government area of

459
00:35:37,639 –> 00:35:42,360
Borno State. Yet the Presidency neither issued an official statement

460
00:35:42,480 –> 00:35:46,679
nor publicly addressed the situation. This has left many people

461
00:35:46,800 –> 00:35:51,119
in Southern Borno asking painful questions, are we not Nigerians?

462
00:35:52,000 –> 00:35:55,119
Is the President only for a specific part of Nigeria.

463
00:35:55,599 –> 00:35:58,880
We asked these questions because we observed that the Presidency

464
00:35:58,960 –> 00:36:02,559
released a statement concerning the kidnap teaches in Oyo’s State

465
00:36:02,639 –> 00:36:05,360
and assured the public that efforts were being made toward

466
00:36:05,440 –> 00:36:11,039
their rescue. That action demonstrated concern, empathy, and leadership toward

467
00:36:11,079 –> 00:36:14,559
the people affected in Oyo’s State. On the other hand,

468
00:36:14,960 –> 00:36:19,159
the people of Borno State, particularly Southern Borno, have felt

469
00:36:19,199 –> 00:36:21,480
abandoned and ignored in the face of one of the

470
00:36:21,559 –> 00:36:26,239
most painful tragedies affecting our communities. Up until this moment,

471
00:36:26,639 –> 00:36:29,840
there has been little or no direct public reassurance from

472
00:36:29,880 –> 00:36:33,000
the Presidency regarding the safety and plight of the victims,

473
00:36:33,440 –> 00:36:37,000
despite security and protection of citizens being among the highest

474
00:36:37,079 –> 00:36:43,599
responsibilities of government. Borno Southviewphillions Bossier therefore wishes to express

475
00:36:43,679 –> 00:36:47,760
its deep dissatisfaction and disappointment regarding what many people perceive

476
00:36:47,840 –> 00:36:51,639
as unequal concerned toward the suffering of Southern Borno communities.

477
00:36:52,480 –> 00:36:55,400
On behalf of many concerned youths and inda genes of

478
00:36:55,519 –> 00:36:59,039
Southern Borno. We respectfully urged the Presidency to show that

479
00:36:59,159 –> 00:37:03,679
every Nigeria in life matters equally, regardless of region, ethnicity

480
00:37:04,079 –> 00:37:07,440
or religion. We believe that the people of Southern Borno

481
00:37:07,599 –> 00:37:11,800
deserved the same level of empathy, urgency and public concerns

482
00:37:11,840 –> 00:37:15,039
shown to citizens in other parts of the country. At

483
00:37:15,119 –> 00:37:19,840
this critical time, our people need reassurance, protection and visible

484
00:37:19,920 –> 00:37:24,000
action from the highest office in the land. Samla Ibrahem Kaigamma,

485
00:37:24,280 –> 00:37:28,800
President Borno South youthh Alliance Bossier stated in numbers of

486
00:37:28,880 –> 00:37:32,880
press statements issued in recent days before the release of

487
00:37:32,960 –> 00:37:36,400
the new video of the abducted victims, The United States

488
00:37:36,480 –> 00:37:40,639
President Donald Trump had on Friday May fifteenth, twenty twenty six,

489
00:37:40,760 –> 00:37:45,239
based on America Time, announced that Abu Bellal Almnuki, described

490
00:37:45,239 –> 00:37:48,280
as the second in command of ISIS globally, was killed

491
00:37:48,360 –> 00:37:51,639
during a joint military operation carried out by American and

492
00:37:51,840 –> 00:37:56,360
Nigerian forces in Borno State. Trump said the operation was

493
00:37:56,440 –> 00:37:59,679
conducted under his direct order and involved what he described

494
00:37:59,679 –> 00:38:04,079
as a meticulously planned and very complex mission executed by

495
00:38:04,159 –> 00:38:07,960
both the United States military and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

496
00:38:08,760 –> 00:38:13,920
According to Trump, the targeted operation successfully eliminated Alminuki, whom

497
00:38:13,960 –> 00:38:17,440
he called the most active terrorist in the world. He

498
00:38:17,599 –> 00:38:20,719
revealed that the ISIS commander had been hiding in Africa

499
00:38:20,840 –> 00:38:26,280
while allegedly coordinating activities linked to global terror operations. Tonight,

500
00:38:26,719 –> 00:38:30,519
at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces

501
00:38:30,559 –> 00:38:34,920
of Nigeria foolessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex

502
00:38:35,039 –> 00:38:38,079
mission to eliminate the most active terrorists in the world

503
00:38:38,199 –> 00:38:43,039
from the battlefield, Trump stated. The American president further claimed

504
00:38:43,039 –> 00:38:47,119
that intelligence sources closely monitored the ISIS leader’s movements before

505
00:38:47,159 –> 00:38:51,079
the operation was launched. He thought he could hide in Africa,

506
00:38:51,440 –> 00:38:53,880
but little did he know, we had sources who kept

507
00:38:53,960 –> 00:38:57,679
us informed on what he was doing, Trump added. Trump

508
00:38:57,800 –> 00:39:01,599
also praised the Nigerian government for cooperating with the United

509
00:39:01,719 –> 00:39:05,159
States during the mission, saying the partnership played a major

510
00:39:05,280 –> 00:39:10,880
role in weakening ISIS operations globally. With his removal, isis’s

511
00:39:10,960 –> 00:39:15,039
global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the Government

512
00:39:15,079 –> 00:39:19,800
of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation. God bless America,

513
00:39:20,119 –> 00:39:24,360
he wrote. Nigeria Defense Headquarters in a press statement, said

514
00:39:24,679 –> 00:39:29,599
the Armed Forces of Nigeria, in collaboration with United States

515
00:39:29,719 –> 00:39:34,239
Forces has successfully conducted a meticulously planned and highly coordinated

516
00:39:34,320 –> 00:39:38,880
counter terrorism operation resulting in the elimination of Abu Belal Almnuki,

517
00:39:39,239 –> 00:39:42,039
a senior ISIS leader and one of the world’s most

518
00:39:42,119 –> 00:39:46,280
active terrorists. The Precision operation was the result of our

519
00:39:46,360 –> 00:39:52,440
recently formed US Nigeria partnership and intelligence sharing efforts. Together,

520
00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:56,719
we have disrupted a violent terrorist network that endangered Nigeria

521
00:39:56,840 –> 00:40:00,719
and the broader West African region. Our efforts represent a

522
00:40:00,800 –> 00:40:04,480
major breakthrough in ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and violent

523
00:40:04,639 –> 00:40:08,880
extremism in Nigeria, the Lake Chad Basin, the Sahil Region,

524
00:40:08,960 –> 00:40:12,800
and globally. Abu bilal al Minuki was a key ISIS

525
00:40:12,920 –> 00:40:17,280
operational and strategic figure who provided guidance to ISIS entities

526
00:40:17,360 –> 00:40:22,440
outside Nigeria on matters relating to media operations, economic warfare,

527
00:40:22,480 –> 00:40:26,679
and the development and manufacturing of weapons, explosives and drones.

528
00:40:27,519 –> 00:40:30,440
His death removes a critical node through which ISIS co

529
00:40:30,599 –> 00:40:34,480
ordinated and directed operations across different regions of the world.

530
00:40:35,360 –> 00:40:40,079
Intelligence further indicates that as recently as February twenty twenty six,

531
00:40:40,559 –> 00:40:43,239
Minuki may have been elevated to the position of head

532
00:40:43,280 –> 00:40:46,599
of the General Directorate of States, placing him the second

533
00:40:46,719 –> 00:40:51,159
most senior leader within the ISIS global hierarchy. Prior to this,

534
00:40:51,719 –> 00:40:54,960
Minuki served in twenty twenty three as the Nigeria based

535
00:40:55,119 –> 00:41:00,000
Al Ferkhan GDP Office EMA, overseeing ISIS linked operations across

536
00:41:00,039 –> 00:41:03,920
ross the Sahil and West Africa, including attacks against civilians,

537
00:41:04,280 –> 00:41:09,400
particularly ethnic and religious minority communities. The terrorist leader also

538
00:41:09,559 –> 00:41:13,480
maintained long standing operational ties with ISIS West Africa and

539
00:41:13,679 –> 00:41:16,559
was linked to the twenty eighteen Duchy kidnapping of over

540
00:41:16,679 –> 00:41:21,599
one hundred schoolgirls. Intelligence records further show that between March

541
00:41:21,719 –> 00:41:25,880
twenty fifteen and early twenty sixteen, he facilitated the movement

542
00:41:25,960 –> 00:41:29,039
of fighters to Libya in support of ISIS operations in

543
00:41:29,159 –> 00:41:33,719
North Africa, before pledging allegiance to ISIS in twenty fifteen.

544
00:41:34,199 –> 00:41:38,119
Minuki was also recognized as a prominent leader within Bokoharam.

545
00:41:38,880 –> 00:41:42,639
The Armed Forces of Nigeria reiterate that this successful operation

546
00:41:42,880 –> 00:41:47,840
demonstrates Nigeria’s unwavering resolve to confront terrorism and deny extremist

547
00:41:47,920 –> 00:41:52,320
groups the ability to threaten national, regional, and international security.

548
00:41:53,119 –> 00:41:57,360
The operation equally underscores the importance of a Nigeria United

549
00:41:57,440 –> 00:42:02,320
States collaboration, intelligence sharing, and coordinated military action in defeating

550
00:42:02,400 –> 00:42:08,559
transnational terrorist networks. The Defense Headquarters commends the gallantry, professionalism,

551
00:42:08,679 –> 00:42:11,800
and dedication of all personnel involved in the operation, and

552
00:42:11,880 –> 00:42:16,199
appreciates the continued partnership and support of United States forces

553
00:42:16,280 –> 00:42:20,159
in the collective fight against terrorism. The Armed Forces of

554
00:42:20,280 –> 00:42:25,639
Nigeria remain steadfast in ongoing operations aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure,

555
00:42:26,159 –> 00:42:30,039
protecting civilians, and ensuring lasting peace and stability across the

556
00:42:30,159 –> 00:42:33,800
nation and the wider region. Major General samla Uber, the

557
00:42:33,960 –> 00:42:38,679
Director Defense Information, stated this on May sixteenth, twenty twenty six.

558
00:42:39,519 –> 00:42:43,239
In a follower pup dates. The Defense Headquarters also stated

559
00:42:43,320 –> 00:42:47,559
that the Defense Headquarters wishes to provide clarification following a

560
00:42:47,639 –> 00:42:51,480
merging public discourse regarding the recent neutralization of a high

561
00:42:51,599 –> 00:42:56,800
profile terrorist commander, Abublal Almnuki during a joint operation with

562
00:42:56,880 –> 00:43:00,000
the United States Africa Command on the sixteenth of Mesias

563
00:43:00,519 –> 00:43:05,199
twenty six. Certain media reports referencing a similar operation in

564
00:43:05,320 –> 00:43:08,840
twenty twenty four have mentioned the elimination of a terrorist

565
00:43:08,920 –> 00:43:14,039
commander bearing the same name. This has understandably generated questions

566
00:43:14,119 –> 00:43:18,440
about the identity of the individual recently neutralized. It is

567
00:43:18,559 –> 00:43:21,760
important to state that within the Northeast region and across

568
00:43:21,840 –> 00:43:24,960
the Lake Chad Basin, the use of similar or identical

569
00:43:25,079 –> 00:43:28,679
names aliases and non de gas is common among Icewap

570
00:43:28,760 –> 00:43:32,880
and boco Harum terrorists. This is essentially part of their

571
00:43:33,360 –> 00:43:38,199
indoctrination program which is aimed at deliberately obscuring identities. This

572
00:43:38,440 –> 00:43:41,199
fact has been established over the years in the course

573
00:43:41,280 –> 00:43:45,519
of counter terrorism operations in the northeast of Nigeria. The

574
00:43:45,599 –> 00:43:49,360
Abu Bilal Almnuki, eliminated on the sixteenth of May twenty

575
00:43:49,480 –> 00:43:53,639
twenty six, has been positively identified through human intelligence and

576
00:43:53,760 –> 00:43:57,559
technical surveillance as a senior global operative within the Islamic

577
00:43:57,679 –> 00:44:02,480
State network with direct links to international terrorist coordination, funding

578
00:44:02,559 –> 00:44:06,880
and operations across the Sahil. There is therefore no ambiguity

579
00:44:07,000 –> 00:44:10,559
in his identity. The strike is a significant milestone in

580
00:44:10,639 –> 00:44:14,760
our counter terrorism efforts. The Armed Forces of Nigeria, in

581
00:44:14,920 –> 00:44:19,199
partnership with the United States, remain committed to dismantling terrorist

582
00:44:19,320 –> 00:44:23,760
networks and will continue to provide verified information through official channels.

583
00:44:24,559 –> 00:44:27,199
The general public and the media are please urge to

584
00:44:27,280 –> 00:44:31,199
rely only on these sources to avoid confusion from coincidental

585
00:44:31,320 –> 00:44:36,400
main similarities. On May nineteenth, twenty twenty six, the Nigeria

586
00:44:36,519 –> 00:44:40,880
Military said the Defense Headquarters wishes to announce major successes

587
00:44:40,960 –> 00:44:45,320
in continuing counter terrorism operations in close coordination with United

588
00:44:45,400 –> 00:44:49,559
States Africa Command against ISIS terrorists in North East Nigeria.

589
00:44:50,360 –> 00:44:53,000
It will be recalled that the joint strikes started a

590
00:44:53,079 –> 00:44:56,519
few days ago. As of the nineteenth of May twenty

591
00:44:56,599 –> 00:45:00,480
twenty six, assessments indicate that one hundred and seven five

592
00:45:00,559 –> 00:45:04,840
ISIS terrorists have been eliminated from the battlefield. The joint

593
00:45:04,880 –> 00:45:09,480
strikes have resulted in the destruction of ISIS checkpoints, weapons caches,

594
00:45:09,920 –> 00:45:14,559
logistical hubs, military equipment, and financial networks used to sustain

595
00:45:14,719 –> 00:45:19,440
terrorist operations. The operations have also resulted in the elimination

596
00:45:19,639 –> 00:45:24,360
of several senior ISIS leaders, including Abu Blal Almnuki, one

597
00:45:24,400 –> 00:45:28,159
of the most significant ISIS operatives in the world. Al

598
00:45:28,280 –> 00:45:32,360
Minuki played a central role in ISIS external operations, co

599
00:45:32,559 –> 00:45:38,360
ordinating terrorist financing, recruitment, logistics, and attack planning targeting Nigerians

600
00:45:38,400 –> 00:45:42,599
and innocent civilians around the world. His death severely disrupts

601
00:45:42,679 –> 00:45:48,760
ISIS command operational coordination and external attack networks. Other terrorist

602
00:45:48,840 –> 00:45:53,880
figures eliminated include Abd al Woha Iwat senior leader responsible

603
00:45:53,960 –> 00:45:58,159
for co ordinating attacks and distributing propaganda, Abu Musa al

604
00:45:58,239 –> 00:46:03,679
Mangowi isw UP senior member, and Abu Almathana almahajer I

605
00:46:03,800 –> 00:46:07,639
SWATS senior media production team manager and close confidante to

606
00:46:07,719 –> 00:46:11,719
al Minuki. The joint strikes have further reinforced what the

607
00:46:11,880 –> 00:46:16,039
Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN have consistently done over the

608
00:46:16,159 –> 00:46:20,079
years hunt down and killed terrorists anywhere there in Nigeria.

609
00:46:20,880 –> 00:46:24,159
The joint operations will continue to hunt down and destroy

610
00:46:24,320 –> 00:46:35,760
those who threaten our nation and regional stability. It may

611
00:46:35,840 –> 00:46:38,079
not be wrong to say one of the major root

612
00:46:38,199 –> 00:46:43,000
causes of crimes, poverty, poor health care, suicides, killings, and

613
00:46:43,119 –> 00:46:47,199
avoidable deaths today in the world is superstitious beliefs mixed

614
00:46:47,280 –> 00:46:52,039
with severe psychological manipulation, religious and spiritual delusions that often

615
00:46:52,119 –> 00:46:56,679
lead to family members abandoning their loved ones, especially their parents,

616
00:46:56,760 –> 00:46:59,960
for fear of being bewitched, doomed, or suffered from the delusion,

617
00:47:00,400 –> 00:47:04,079
curse or spells superstitiously believed had been placed on their

618
00:47:04,239 –> 00:47:07,719
parents or loved ones. And this act who also lead

619
00:47:07,800 –> 00:47:12,320
to the accused family members committing suicides or being banished, beaten,

620
00:47:12,719 –> 00:47:15,719
or even killed by jungle justice. And in line with

621
00:47:15,800 –> 00:47:19,639
the numerous cases documented globally and locally we have seen

622
00:47:19,679 –> 00:47:23,159
where individuals have committed murder or caused death due to

623
00:47:23,239 –> 00:47:27,719
acute spiritual delusions, which in psychiatry, these are often diagnosed

624
00:47:27,760 –> 00:47:32,880
as cases of religious psychosist schizophrenia or clinical lycanthropy, where

625
00:47:32,920 –> 00:47:37,800
the perpetrator cannot separate objective reality from spiritual hallucinations. This

626
00:47:38,000 –> 00:47:41,000
may interest you to know that in August twenty twenty five,

627
00:47:41,400 –> 00:47:45,719
at Outward Lake in Ohio, United States of America, USA,

628
00:47:46,239 –> 00:47:50,280
an Amish mother, obviously suffering from a severe spiritual delusion,

629
00:47:50,719 –> 00:47:54,199
drowned her four year old son in Outward Lake. Investigators

630
00:47:54,239 –> 00:47:56,880
revealed that both she and her husband believed God was

631
00:47:56,920 –> 00:48:01,519
speaking directly to them, demanding ritualistic toime to prove their worthiness,

632
00:48:02,000 –> 00:48:04,760
and as such, she explicitly told the police that the

633
00:48:04,880 –> 00:48:08,079
Lord wanted her to perform the sacrifice. This may not

634
00:48:08,199 –> 00:48:10,440
also be different from the case of a twenty two

635
00:48:10,599 –> 00:48:14,679
year old Nigerian and unengineering student named Benjamin O. Beenham,

636
00:48:14,960 –> 00:48:18,519
whose life seemed to heavily revolved around his Church, who

637
00:48:18,599 –> 00:48:22,239
suffered a sudden psychiatric break in twenty twenty five after

638
00:48:22,320 –> 00:48:26,039
his family initially mistook his erratic behavior for a standard

639
00:48:26,119 –> 00:48:29,880
demonic attack rather than a medical issue. Allegedly driven by

640
00:48:29,920 –> 00:48:33,000
the delusion that his mother and sister were witches spiritually

641
00:48:33,079 –> 00:48:36,239
plotting to destroy him, he as a result of that,

642
00:48:36,800 –> 00:48:39,760
attacked his family, resulting in the death of his mother,

643
00:48:39,880 –> 00:48:43,840
but he was later diagnosed with schizophrenia under clinical custody.

644
00:48:44,280 –> 00:48:46,599
It may be recalled that one of the most famous

645
00:48:46,760 –> 00:48:51,000
historical cases of spiritual psychosis in the United Kingdom UK

646
00:48:51,719 –> 00:48:54,360
was the murder of Robert Dad in eighteen forty three

647
00:48:54,519 –> 00:48:58,159
by his son. The English artist Richard Dad stabbed his

648
00:48:58,280 –> 00:49:00,480
father to death on account of a delay usion that

649
00:49:00,559 –> 00:49:03,639
his father was actually the devil in human form, and

650
00:49:03,760 –> 00:49:05,800
that he had been chosen by God to battle the

651
00:49:05,880 –> 00:49:08,880
forces of evil. This act made him to spend the

652
00:49:08,960 –> 00:49:12,480
remainder of his life in psychiatric facilities, and in two

653
00:49:12,559 –> 00:49:16,239
thousand and eight, a passenger inside a Greyhound bus in Canada,

654
00:49:16,639 –> 00:49:20,000
Vincey killed a stranger, Tim McLain lee claimed that the

655
00:49:20,119 –> 00:49:22,800
voice of God told him McClain was an alien or

656
00:49:22,880 –> 00:49:25,760
a demon, and that if he did not kill him immediately,

657
00:49:26,119 –> 00:49:28,639
the man would come back to life and kill everyone

658
00:49:28,719 –> 00:49:31,239
else on the bus. And one of the most recent

659
00:49:31,360 –> 00:49:35,559
cases of crimes caused by superstitious beliefs occurred on Friday

660
00:49:35,719 –> 00:49:39,440
the ninth of May twenty twenty six at Bumuazili area

661
00:49:39,639 –> 00:49:44,119
of awo Omama community in Uru East Local Government Area

662
00:49:44,280 –> 00:49:48,079
of Himo’s State, when Michael Akujiobi killed his uncle and

663
00:49:48,239 –> 00:49:51,039
two other elderly people on the ground that they were

664
00:49:51,079 –> 00:49:55,119
the evil forces behind his misfortunes and problems in the family.

665
00:49:55,480 –> 00:49:58,719
The suspected murderer, who said he returned from Lagos State

666
00:49:58,840 –> 00:50:01,719
to his country home from twenty eighteen to wage war

667
00:50:01,840 –> 00:50:05,639
against spiritual forces so that his father’s name wouldn’t go astray,

668
00:50:06,039 –> 00:50:09,760
confess to killing three people, identifying the first victim as

669
00:50:09,840 –> 00:50:13,960
his father’s senior brother and his uncle, Joseph Accugiobi. The

670
00:50:14,079 –> 00:50:17,559
other victims were another man and a woman. During his interrogation,

671
00:50:18,079 –> 00:50:21,280
the suspected murderer said, when he was in primary school,

672
00:50:21,639 –> 00:50:24,639
he could read and write very well, but along the

673
00:50:24,719 –> 00:50:27,760
line he was no longer brilliant, and thus he believed

674
00:50:27,800 –> 00:50:31,760
his uncle was the evil forces behind his academic misfortunes

675
00:50:31,800 –> 00:50:32,800
and other setbacks.

676
00:50:33,599 –> 00:50:34,119
Speaker 4: In life.

677
00:50:34,440 –> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: Accordingly, the suspects said he came back to kill evil

678
00:50:37,840 –> 00:50:40,199
people who do not want the younger ones to grow

679
00:50:40,320 –> 00:50:43,320
and succeed in life, adding he was acting under the

680
00:50:43,400 –> 00:50:46,719
instruction of the spirit of God to eliminate evil people

681
00:50:46,920 –> 00:50:50,719
in the community. The suspect, who admitted of previously selling

682
00:50:50,920 –> 00:50:54,800
Indian hemp in the community, seems to be unremorseful despite

683
00:50:54,880 –> 00:50:57,719
the gravity of his actions, insisting he had won the

684
00:50:57,800 –> 00:51:01,119
battle and he knows the consequences of his action according

685
00:51:01,239 –> 00:51:03,760
to the law, may be death penalty or condemned to

686
00:51:03,840 –> 00:51:08,119
life imprisonment. Michael ocugio Bi did not allege any specific

687
00:51:08,239 –> 00:51:12,400
personal wrongdoing, financial dispute, or physical abuse committed by his

688
00:51:12,559 –> 00:51:16,320
uncle against him. Instead, he framed the attack entirely around

689
00:51:16,440 –> 00:51:20,360
generalized spiritual warfare and occult cleansing. His action may not

690
00:51:20,480 –> 00:51:25,760
be unconnected with existing cultural superstitions and psychological manipulation regarding

691
00:51:25,840 –> 00:51:31,079
spiritual hygiene, a cult warfare, and familial curses. This almost

692
00:51:31,159 –> 00:51:34,840
in a similar situation. Men of the Nigeria Police Force

693
00:51:34,960 –> 00:51:38,320
in an Ambra State in March twenty twenty two arrested

694
00:51:38,719 –> 00:51:43,079
Juju Priest among other people for assaulting humiliating a woman

695
00:51:43,199 –> 00:51:46,719
accused of killing her husband simply because she slept or

696
00:51:46,840 –> 00:51:50,800
made love with another man. According to the Nigeria Police Force,

697
00:51:51,239 –> 00:51:55,559
its men arrested a Juju priest, Antony A Bagnier over

698
00:51:55,679 –> 00:51:58,760
the beating and nakedness of a woman round community in

699
00:51:58,880 –> 00:52:01,880
the state after she was allegedly accused by the native

700
00:52:01,960 –> 00:52:05,320
doctor of causing the death of her husband through infidelity.

701
00:52:05,719 –> 00:52:09,280
But then a Nambras State Police Commissioner Ekeng Eking said

702
00:52:09,320 –> 00:52:12,800
that Juju priest, who is not attrained medical doctor, confessed

703
00:52:12,880 –> 00:52:16,159
of administering herds to the deceased before he died. The

704
00:52:16,239 –> 00:52:20,000
police commissioner also said antony Abannier also confessed he was

705
00:52:20,039 –> 00:52:22,280
the one that told the family of the deceased that

706
00:52:22,400 –> 00:52:25,920
his wife was responsible for the death, saying the said

707
00:52:26,000 –> 00:52:29,239
husband had been sick. Instead of taking him to the hospital,

708
00:52:29,639 –> 00:52:33,719
investigation revealed that his brother, mister Oudolore took him to Antony,

709
00:52:34,119 –> 00:52:37,159
a native doctor, where Antony confessed to having taken the

710
00:52:37,239 –> 00:52:40,880
decease on some spiritual cleansing and administered him some herds

711
00:52:40,960 –> 00:52:44,280
before he died. And it was Antony who allegedly told

712
00:52:44,400 –> 00:52:46,519
the family of the deceased that the cause of his

713
00:52:46,679 –> 00:52:49,719
death was as a result of the wife’s infidelity. In

714
00:52:49,840 –> 00:52:54,519
contrast to existing cultural and generational superstitious beliefs wrecking havocs

715
00:52:54,599 –> 00:52:59,880
in our society today. Calvin Chimarobi Emanuel aka tel Armstrong Amobi,

716
00:53:00,440 –> 00:53:04,679
founder of car Truth podcast, on May fifth, twenty twenty six,

717
00:53:04,880 –> 00:53:07,800
took to his social media accounts and said he set

718
00:53:07,840 –> 00:53:11,320
a bet to prove his mother wrong that his father,

719
00:53:11,440 –> 00:53:14,920
who died years ago, was not killed by spiritual forces.

720
00:53:15,320 –> 00:53:16,599
Speaker 6: Rather, he believed his.

721
00:53:16,679 –> 00:53:20,599
Speaker 1: Father was poisoned to death by enemies, apparently within family.

722
00:53:20,960 –> 00:53:24,320
According to him, we were not just financially poor, we

723
00:53:24,400 –> 00:53:28,480
were mentally colonized by superstition. Their debas and prophets told them.

724
00:53:28,800 –> 00:53:32,280
As I grew, I faced serious setbacks. I felt like

725
00:53:32,440 –> 00:53:35,639
I was fighting spiritual forces. But I kept learning, I

726
00:53:35,800 –> 00:53:38,760
kept evolving, and then I began to see things clearer.

727
00:53:39,119 –> 00:53:42,000
When I began to succeed, the family thanked God and

728
00:53:42,119 –> 00:53:44,840
concluded that I was simply the one the juju could

729
00:53:44,880 –> 00:53:47,599
not catch. They said, God has chosen to save me.

730
00:53:48,159 –> 00:53:50,320
But what kind of a god saves one out of

731
00:53:50,440 –> 00:53:53,039
many when he has the power to save all. It

732
00:53:53,239 –> 00:53:57,400
was the kind of God that superstitious beliefs created verbatim,

733
00:53:57,800 –> 00:54:01,440
Chimrobi said, I placed a better against my mother’s belief.

734
00:54:02,280 –> 00:54:05,119
I one, this is a private family matter, but my

735
00:54:05,280 –> 00:54:07,880
desire to pull someone out of a mental prison is

736
00:54:07,960 –> 00:54:11,800
stronger than my desire for privacy. So I will share.

737
00:54:12,159 –> 00:54:15,599
I was born into poverty, not the soft kind, the

738
00:54:15,719 –> 00:54:19,639
cruel kind, the multi dimensional kind with different faces and

739
00:54:19,760 –> 00:54:23,800
different names. No one in my entire family’s bloodline ever

740
00:54:23,920 –> 00:54:27,679
owned a car, No one had meaningful wealth, No one

741
00:54:27,800 –> 00:54:32,440
attended university, no one held any position of consequence. No

742
00:54:32,599 –> 00:54:36,840
one ran a thriving business or understood how wealth is created.

743
00:54:37,320 –> 00:54:40,159
They had all sat on the passenger’s seat of survival

744
00:54:40,239 –> 00:54:42,960
and driven by their beliefs that wealth was beyond them.

745
00:54:43,800 –> 00:54:47,599
We were not just financially poor, We were mentally colonized

746
00:54:47,639 –> 00:54:51,440
by superstition. I was born into it. When my father

747
00:54:51,639 –> 00:54:55,360
died I was a very little boy. The family consensus

748
00:54:55,559 –> 00:54:58,880
was that enemies had spiritually killed him, but I believed

749
00:54:58,920 –> 00:55:02,559
he was simply poison. They also believed those same enemies

750
00:55:02,679 –> 00:55:05,840
had locked the destinies of his children, insuring none of

751
00:55:05,920 –> 00:55:09,800
us would amount to anything. The debbias and prophets told them.

752
00:55:10,320 –> 00:55:13,719
My two older brothers believed it. My mother believed it.

753
00:55:14,079 –> 00:55:17,920
Every one believed it except one rebel, me, And my

754
00:55:18,079 –> 00:55:21,440
rebellion was not even a sophisticated one. I did not

755
00:55:21,679 –> 00:55:24,599
have the theology or the philosophy to argue against it.

756
00:55:25,440 –> 00:55:28,199
I was just a stubborn little nobody who refused to

757
00:55:28,320 –> 00:55:31,480
accept that anything had the power to trap him. That

758
00:55:31,800 –> 00:55:36,360
was the whole arguments, pure a rational stubbornness. As I grew,

759
00:55:36,800 –> 00:55:40,440
I faced serious setbacks. I felt like I was fighting

760
00:55:40,519 –> 00:55:44,679
spiritual forces. But I kept learning, I kept evolving, and

761
00:55:44,840 –> 00:55:47,920
then I began to see things clearer. When I began

762
00:55:48,039 –> 00:55:51,239
to succeed, the family thanked God and concluded that I

763
00:55:51,400 –> 00:55:53,639
was simply the one the ju ju could not catch.

764
00:55:54,480 –> 00:55:57,320
They said, God has chosen to save me. But what

765
00:55:57,559 –> 00:55:59,800
kind of a god saves one out of many when

766
00:55:59,840 –> 00:56:02,639
he has the power to save all. It was the

767
00:56:02,760 –> 00:56:06,400
kind of God that superstitious beliefs created. That is when

768
00:56:06,480 –> 00:56:09,480
I sat my mother down, I told her plainly that

769
00:56:09,639 –> 00:56:12,920
no juju is fighting this family. What we are fighting

770
00:56:13,079 –> 00:56:17,000
is a generational curse born out of ignorance, ignorance of

771
00:56:17,119 –> 00:56:20,639
how wealth is created. There is nothing spiritual about it.

772
00:56:21,159 –> 00:56:24,159
The enemy has no name and no face. It does

773
00:56:24,239 –> 00:56:27,679
not exist she loved, said, I was still a child

774
00:56:27,760 –> 00:56:31,079
in this area, regardless of how far I had traveled

775
00:56:31,199 –> 00:56:35,360
or how much I had seen. I said, fine, let

776
00:56:35,519 –> 00:56:38,719
us bet. If I was simply lucky to escape, then

777
00:56:38,840 –> 00:56:42,360
luck cannot be replicated. So I will take the last

778
00:56:42,400 –> 00:56:45,280
born son, raise him the way a father would, and

779
00:56:45,440 –> 00:56:49,199
pour everything I know into him. If he also succeeds,

780
00:56:49,599 –> 00:56:52,760
you will accept that the chain was never juju. If

781
00:56:52,800 –> 00:56:57,039
he does not, I will concede. She agreed. I unofficially

782
00:56:57,119 –> 00:57:00,199
adopted my little brother when he was very young. I

783
00:57:00,360 –> 00:57:04,639
emptied myself into that boy, equipped him with profitable skills.

784
00:57:05,159 –> 00:57:08,079
To day, he is a big boy, makes good money

785
00:57:08,159 –> 00:57:13,039
for himself, sponsoring himself in university, building his own life.

786
00:57:13,519 –> 00:57:16,159
The ju jou could not catch me. It could not

787
00:57:16,400 –> 00:57:19,679
catch him either. I won the bet. My mother now

788
00:57:19,880 –> 00:57:24,199
understands the chain was never a curse. My forefathers were

789
00:57:24,239 –> 00:57:27,760
not cursed men. They were noblemen. They were simply men

790
00:57:27,840 –> 00:57:30,800
who believed a story that made them powerless, and they

791
00:57:30,880 –> 00:57:34,639
passed that story down like an inheritance. The chain was

792
00:57:34,679 –> 00:57:37,599
the belief. I share this because many of you reading

793
00:57:37,679 –> 00:57:41,559
this are still inside that same battle, fighting invisible enemies,

794
00:57:41,880 –> 00:57:44,599
collecting evidence, for a war that only exists in your

795
00:57:44,679 –> 00:57:48,960
interpretation of events, and the evidence feels real because you

796
00:57:49,039 –> 00:57:53,280
are refusing to analyze your situation critically or do anything differently.

797
00:57:54,119 –> 00:57:56,760
In my family, those who still hold on to the

798
00:57:56,840 –> 00:57:59,800
superstition as still making the same mistakes and blaming in

799
00:58:00,079 –> 00:58:03,840
visible forces. Those of us who stopped believing it blame

800
00:58:03,920 –> 00:58:08,559
only ourselves when we fail. That accountability is not punishment,

801
00:58:09,039 –> 00:58:12,800
it’s a real responsibility, and responsibility is the road to

802
00:58:12,880 –> 00:58:15,880
the life you want. If you can defeat the superstition

803
00:58:16,039 –> 00:58:19,239
living in your own head, you can defeat anything outside

804
00:58:19,280 –> 00:58:19,440
of it.

805
00:58:20,400 –> 00:58:24,639
Speaker 8: Okay, now look up, what is your name?

01:08:10,199 –> 01:08:13,360
the Nigerian Army has refused to disclose the names of

1010
01:08:13,440 –> 01:08:16,520

1017
01:08:40,840 –> 01:08:43,840
And when our reporter demanded to know how the alleged

be swept under the carpet. According to the bereaved family member,

1024
01:09:08,239 –> 01:09:11,319
on the fourteenth of February twenty twenty six, at about

1025
01:09:11,399 –> 01:09:14,920
ten a m my brother Stephen obum Theme and Wosu

1026
01:09:15,199 –> 01:09:18,359
went to get chicken feed with his friend Godwin Koko

1027
01:09:18,439 –> 01:09:21,840
along the Benin agboor Express Road, the failed portion that

1028
01:09:22,000 –> 01:09:27,279
is under construction at Amuphi junction in Benin, Citi Edo State. Specifically,

1029
01:09:27,640 –> 01:09:30,119
the friends said they were discussing and did not see

1030
01:09:30,159 –> 01:09:33,119
the road demarcation on time, and when they sighted it

1031
01:09:33,199 –> 01:09:35,760
and were about to reverse, a soldier blocked them and

1032
01:09:35,880 –> 01:09:38,039
told them to hand over the car key, but they

1033
01:09:38,119 –> 01:09:40,399
told him that they are sorry and will turn back.

1034
01:09:41,239 –> 01:09:44,880
So immediately he started turning the car. That got the

1035
01:09:44,960 –> 01:09:49,000
soldier angry and the soldier started following him. My brother

1036
01:09:49,119 –> 01:09:52,159
reversed the car and joined the other lane and from

1037
01:09:52,199 –> 01:09:55,119
the side mirror, my brother noticed that the soldier was

1038
01:09:55,199 –> 01:09:57,800
running towards them. At this time, there were two on

1039
01:09:57,880 –> 01:10:00,279
a bike, but one left while the soldier that they

1040
01:10:00,319 –> 01:10:02,920
had the conversation with was still following them with the

1041
01:10:03,000 –> 01:10:06,800
bite man. At this point, he started using his belt

1042
01:10:06,880 –> 01:10:09,600
on the car and even shot at the car, but

1043
01:10:09,800 –> 01:10:12,359
my brother and his friend were still driving, and when

1044
01:10:12,439 –> 01:10:14,880
they got to hold up, they packed at a fuel

1045
01:10:15,000 –> 01:10:18,640
station and started running by foot. While they were running,

1046
01:10:19,039 –> 01:10:21,560
the soldier fired shots at them, and the bullet landed

1047
01:10:21,600 –> 01:10:25,159
on my brother’s leg, and on a closed range, the

1048
01:10:25,279 –> 01:10:28,720
soldier shot him again on the same leg. People around

1049
01:10:28,800 –> 01:10:31,359
said that when the soldier shot my brother again at

1050
01:10:31,399 –> 01:10:34,920
close range, they gathered him, but the soldier told them

1051
01:10:34,920 –> 01:10:37,039
that the boy he shot was a robber, so they

1052
01:10:37,119 –> 01:10:38,399
did not touch the soldier.

1053
01:10:38,479 –> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 7: Man.

1054
01:10:39,479 –> 01:10:42,279
Speaker 1: The soldier was the same person that carried the victim

1055
01:10:42,359 –> 01:10:45,319
to the hospital, but the hospital they mentioned when we

1056
01:10:45,399 –> 01:10:48,239
went there, the doctor said he had no such patient.

1057
01:10:49,039 –> 01:10:51,560
We the family wants to hear the soldier’s side of

1058
01:10:51,640 –> 01:10:53,800
the story and who sent him to murder that young

1059
01:10:53,920 –> 01:10:56,760
man with bright future, with a pregnant wife and a

1060
01:10:56,840 –> 01:11:00,239
two years old child, and his aged mother, the only

1061
01:11:00,319 –> 01:11:03,479
male child in my family, the only one that speaks

1062
01:11:03,560 –> 01:11:06,640
for us. We are fine, girls. This is too painful

1063
01:11:06,720 –> 01:11:10,199
for us. We all died that same day. Don’t know

1064
01:11:10,319 –> 01:11:13,479
if we can bear this, Lassou. We just want to

1065
01:11:13,560 –> 01:11:18,640
get the soldiers name. Barriqi is from indeed Nigeria has

1066
01:11:18,720 –> 01:11:21,760
happened to us. We had access to see his body

1067
01:11:21,840 –> 01:11:25,239
on the fifteenth of February twenty twenty six. I think

1068
01:11:25,279 –> 01:11:27,840
there are many stories about this one which only the

1069
01:11:27,920 –> 01:11:31,439
soldier and police needs to give. I need justice for

1070
01:11:31,560 –> 01:11:34,640
my brother. That same mortuary that the police said we

1071
01:11:34,800 –> 01:11:38,159
can’t visit that the fourteenth of February. I have visited

1072
01:11:38,199 –> 01:11:41,640
it many times since that fifteenth. They showed us the place.

1073
01:11:42,520 –> 01:11:46,039
So much evil is happening with our security offices. A

1074
01:11:46,159 –> 01:11:48,800
guy with the two years old child and a pregnant

1075
01:11:48,880 –> 01:11:52,359
wife just three years in marriage. What should I explain

1076
01:11:52,479 –> 01:11:55,359
to his wife? A lot is going on under the

1077
01:11:55,399 –> 01:12:06,039

Nigeria authority disputed to be fourteen after several reports indicated

1171
01:18:55,840 –> 01:18:58,880
that more than forty soldiers were killed during the attack,

1172
01:18:59,239 –> 01:19:02,600
in addition to more than one hundred civilians, including Chief

1173
01:19:02,720 –> 01:19:06,520
Imman of Ingosh alongside the community elders killed during the

1174
01:19:06,640 –> 01:19:10,199
co ordinated attacks that lasted days at Ingosh community in

1175
01:19:10,319 –> 01:19:15,119
Guosa Local Government area of Borno State. This During the attacks,

1176
01:19:15,520 –> 01:19:19,000
numbers of people were also taken hostage by the insurgents,

1177
01:19:19,399 –> 01:19:23,439
with speculations indicating that the hostages are apparently being held

1178
01:19:23,520 –> 01:19:26,560
at the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, which sit

1179
01:19:26,640 –> 01:19:30,640
wide across the Nigeria border with Cameroon. That aside, one

1180
01:19:30,680 –> 01:19:33,800
of the spokespersons of the Boko Harum group said they

1181
01:19:33,920 –> 01:19:36,600
decided to release a proof of life video of the

1182
01:19:36,720 –> 01:19:40,119
four hundred and sixteen women and children in their captivity

1183
01:19:40,520 –> 01:19:43,199
following the demands made across to them by the Borno

1184
01:19:43,399 –> 01:19:47,319
South Youths Alliance BOSSIA and according to the statement issued

1185
01:19:47,359 –> 01:19:50,920
by the BOSSIA when they made the video public on Friday,

1186
01:19:51,079 –> 01:19:54,840
April tenth, twenty twenty six, the youth’s group called on

1187
01:19:55,079 –> 01:19:58,479
federal government and governments at all level to ensure the

1188
01:19:58,560 –> 01:20:02,880
hostages are released, saying specifically that we have witness cases

1189
01:20:03,000 –> 01:20:07,760
in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kebiware abducted

1190
01:20:07,840 –> 01:20:13,119
victims regained freedom following interventions by individuals such as Sheikh

1191
01:20:13,119 –> 01:20:16,920
Ahmed Gumi, We therefore expect equal urgency and commitment in

1192
01:20:17,000 –> 01:20:20,399
addressing the plight of the Engosh victims. No region or

1193
01:20:20,479 –> 01:20:24,079
group of citizens should be treated with less priority. In

1194
01:20:24,199 –> 01:20:27,520
the footage, several women and elderly men were interviewed by

1195
01:20:27,560 –> 01:20:32,159
the Boko Harum spokesperson. The kidnapped victims please centered on

1196
01:20:32,319 –> 01:20:36,479
three main points directly addressed to President Bola Tanubu, Vice

1197
01:20:36,560 –> 01:20:40,960
President Kashim Shatima and Governor Babagada Zulam, begging the President

1198
01:20:41,039 –> 01:20:43,159
and Governor to find a way to bring them home

1199
01:20:43,279 –> 01:20:47,439
within the shortest possible time. The captives expressed fear that

1200
01:20:47,520 –> 01:20:50,319
a direct military assault on the camp where their being

1201
01:20:50,399 –> 01:20:53,960
held could result in the deaths. They echoed the Bossier

1202
01:20:54,000 –> 01:20:58,119
apparent sentiment asking the government to use the same negotiation

1203
01:20:58,399 –> 01:21:03,520
channels used in northern state like Zamfara, Katsina, keb Sokoto

1204
01:21:03,680 –> 01:21:07,399
and Kaduna states. While the terrorists claimed in the video

1205
01:21:07,560 –> 01:21:10,760
that they are not torturing the victims, the captives highlighted

1206
01:21:10,800 –> 01:21:13,159
that many children are falling ill due to the harsh

1207
01:21:13,239 –> 01:21:15,920
conditions of the forest and the lack of proper food

1208
01:21:16,000 –> 01:21:20,399
and medicine. The Borno South Youth Alliance BOSSIER, in a

1209
01:21:20,479 –> 01:21:24,720
statement signed by its president Smila Ibrahem Kaigamma and made

1210
01:21:24,720 –> 01:21:28,720
available on Friday alongside the Proof of Life video, said

1211
01:21:28,760 –> 01:21:31,319
it wishes to inform the public that we have been

1212
01:21:31,359 –> 01:21:34,520
actively and discreetly mediating for the release of our Southern

1213
01:21:34,600 –> 01:21:38,159
Borno brothers and sisters who were abducted when insurgents over

1214
01:21:38,239 –> 01:21:44,239
Anning Gosh. Following days of engagement, discussions and humanitarian appeals,

1215
01:21:44,720 –> 01:21:47,359
we were provided with an official figure of four hundred

1216
01:21:47,399 –> 01:21:51,239
and sixteen victims currently alive in captivity by the abductors.

1217
01:21:52,039 –> 01:21:55,760
This figure differs from earlier reports circulated by sections of

1218
01:21:55,800 –> 01:21:59,439
the media, which underestimated the true scale of the situation.

1219
01:22:00,359 –> 01:22:03,920
BOSSIER remains the voice of Southern Borno youths and Inda genes.

1220
01:22:04,399 –> 01:22:07,960
As such, we are committed to continuing all possible efforts

1221
01:22:08,039 –> 01:22:12,399
through mediation, advocacy and engagement to secure the safe release

1222
01:22:12,479 –> 01:22:15,840
of our people. Our actions are guided solely by the

1223
01:22:15,960 –> 01:22:20,319
need to protect life and restore dignity to affected families.

1224
01:22:20,640 –> 01:22:23,720
We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that BOSSIA does

1225
01:22:23,800 –> 01:22:29,640
not support terrorism, insurgency, or the abduction of innocent civilians. However,

1226
01:22:30,159 –> 01:22:33,520
as representatives of our people, we are prepared to take

1227
01:22:33,600 –> 01:22:38,119
bold and necessary steps in pursuit of solutions, especially lasting solutions,

1228
01:22:38,199 –> 01:22:42,279
to the persistent insecurity affecting our region. The voices of

1229
01:22:42,319 –> 01:22:46,319
the kidnapped victims must be heard, not just nationally but globally.

1230
01:22:47,039 –> 01:22:50,079
We therefore call on the following leaders and authorities to

1231
01:22:50,279 –> 01:22:54,159
urgently intervene. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

1232
01:22:54,479 –> 01:22:58,840
Bolah armed to Nubu, Asswaju Bolah Ahmed to Nubu, the

1233
01:22:59,000 –> 01:23:04,359
Vice President, Kashim shatimah Kashim Shatima, the Distinguished Senator representing

1234
01:23:04,479 –> 01:23:09,239
Southern Borno Mohammad Ali and Dume, all relevant government officials

1235
01:23:09,319 –> 01:23:13,079
and stakeholders at both federal and state levels. We have

1236
01:23:13,239 –> 01:23:18,119
witnessed cases in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and

1237
01:23:18,279 –> 01:23:22,920
kevi Ware abducted victims regained freedom following interventions by individuals

1238
01:23:23,000 –> 01:23:27,359
such as shaikhamaed Gumi. We therefore expect equal urgency and

1239
01:23:27,439 –> 01:23:31,239
commitment in addressing the plight of the Ngosh victims. No

1240
01:23:31,479 –> 01:23:34,319
region or group of citizens should be treated with less

1241
01:23:34,359 –> 01:23:38,920
priority the freedom, safety and well being of the abducted

1242
01:23:39,039 –> 01:23:43,399
victims from Woza, particularly those from Ngosha non negotiable. We

1243
01:23:43,600 –> 01:23:46,600
urged the government to act decisively, just as they have

1244
01:23:46,760 –> 01:23:50,399
been doing in other parts of the country. Furthermore, we

1245
01:23:50,560 –> 01:23:55,319
call on the Nigerian government, international partners, the United Nations,

1246
01:23:55,720 –> 01:23:59,199
and global leaders including Donald Trump, to support efforts toward

1247
01:23:59,279 –> 01:24:02,079
the safe and a media release of all abducted victims,

1248
01:24:02,840 –> 01:24:07,600
among them the vulnerable groups including infants, young children, elderly

1249
01:24:07,680 –> 01:24:12,399
individuals and women in extremely fragile conditions. Let it be

1250
01:24:12,520 –> 01:24:15,359
known to the world that Bossier is actively mediating and

1251
01:24:15,479 –> 01:24:19,279
advocating for the release of Southern Borno indigenes held captive.

1252
01:24:20,079 –> 01:24:23,000
We also call on both the Nigerian government and the

1253
01:24:23,079 –> 01:24:26,800
Borno State government to demonstrate visible and measurable efforts in

1254
01:24:26,920 –> 01:24:37,920
securing their freedom. Fedo State House of Assembly Speaker Blessing

1255
01:24:38,000 –> 01:24:42,399
Sheriff Agbebeku has confirmed the killing of Brigadier General Asseini Gramer,

1256
01:24:42,800 –> 01:24:45,760
the commander of the twenty nine Task Forced Brigade in

1257
01:24:45,840 –> 01:24:49,439
Operation hadden Kai, when the Brigadier General and his troops

1258
01:24:49,600 –> 01:24:53,720
came under the coordinated multiple attacks launched by the Islamic

1259
01:24:53,840 –> 01:24:57,880
State of West Africa Province I swoppat Beneeshek community in

1260
01:24:58,000 –> 01:25:02,279
Kaga Local Government Area, Borno State, early morning night on

1261
01:25:02,479 –> 01:25:06,800
Thursday an attack. The Nigeria Defense Headquarters had on Thursday

1262
01:25:06,920 –> 01:25:10,880
denied the Brigadier General was ever killed alongside his soldiers,

1263
01:25:11,319 –> 01:25:15,199
insisting the general was alive. Until Friday morning, the Edo

1264
01:25:15,279 –> 01:25:18,199
State House of Assembly Speaker, who is also one of

1265
01:25:18,239 –> 01:25:21,720
the prominent kinsmen of the high ranking soldier, announced the

1266
01:25:21,800 –> 01:25:24,600
death of the Brigadier General on behalf of the people

1267
01:25:24,680 –> 01:25:28,760
of Owen ethnic group in Edo State. This President, Bola

1268
01:25:28,840 –> 01:25:33,119
Ahmed Tenubu, who probably tried to avoid contradicting the statement

1269
01:25:33,279 –> 01:25:37,479
of denial issued by the Nigeria Defense Headquarters, mourned the

1270
01:25:37,520 –> 01:25:41,279
deaths and killing of the country soldiers by thus simply

1271
01:25:41,319 –> 01:25:45,439
and apparently logically stating that I extend my condolences to

1272
01:25:45,520 –> 01:25:49,359
the families of our gallant soldiers led by Brigadier General A.

1273
01:25:49,479 –> 01:25:53,159
Saniomo Brahma, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense

1274
01:25:53,239 –> 01:25:57,000
of our country today in Borno State. According to the

1275
01:25:57,119 –> 01:26:00,319
condolence message made available by the Special Advice Are on

1276
01:26:00,479 –> 01:26:03,319

1277
01:26:03,399 –> 01:26:07,439

entire Assembly and the good people of Owen nation mourns

1281
01:26:19,439 –> 01:26:24,520
the painful loss of our gallant son, Brigadier General Oo Bramer,

1282
01:26:24,840 –> 01:26:28,920
who paid the ultimate price in service to our dear nation, Nigeria.

1283
01:26:29,760 –> 01:26:33,720
His bravery, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the peace and

1284
01:26:33,880 –> 01:26:37,359
unity of our country will never be forgotten. He stood

1285
01:26:37,399 –> 01:26:39,479
as a shield for the nation and a symbol of

1286
01:26:39,600 –> 01:26:43,319
courage for generations to come. This tragic loss is not

1287
01:26:43,520 –> 01:26:46,039
only a blow to the Nigerian Army, but a deep

1288
01:26:46,119 –> 01:26:49,760
wound to own land, Edo State and the nation at large.

1289
01:26:50,600 –> 01:26:53,760
We are proud of his service. Even in grief. We

1290
01:26:53,920 –> 01:26:58,159
extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, the Nigerian Armed

1291
01:26:58,199 –> 01:27:02,039
Forces and all who warn this hero. May the Almighty

1292
01:27:02,159 –> 01:27:04,760
grant his sole eternal rest and give us all the

1293
01:27:04,840 –> 01:27:09,039
strength to bear this irreparable loss. Rest, Tom, Brave son

1294
01:27:09,119 –> 01:27:14,039
of Owen, Your sacrifice will forever speak. President Bola Ahmed

1295
01:27:14,079 –> 01:27:16,920
to Nubu in a condolence message issued through the Office

1296
01:27:16,960 –> 01:27:20,439
of the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, to the President.

1297
01:27:21,000 –> 01:27:25,159
Theo Onanuga said expressed deep sadness over the loss of

1298
01:27:25,199 –> 01:27:28,520
the brave soldiers of the twenty nine Tasked Force Brigade

1299
01:27:28,800 –> 01:27:32,960
Operation Hadnkai, who died in a coordinated terrorist attack on

1300
01:27:33,039 –> 01:27:37,119
their camp in Benichhet, born No State. The President also

1301
01:27:37,279 –> 01:27:40,800
expressed heartfelt condolences to the military and the families of

1302
01:27:40,840 –> 01:27:43,680
the soldiers, urging them to take heart in the face

1303
01:27:43,760 –> 01:27:48,119
of the unfortunate loss. The Defense Headquarters confirmed the attack

1304
01:27:48,199 –> 01:27:51,600
and the tragic loss of lives which occurred early Thursday,

1305
01:27:51,640 –> 01:27:56,319
April ninth, twenty twenty six. President Tanubu praised the courage

1306
01:27:56,319 –> 01:27:59,479
and heroism of the soldiers who fought valiantly to repel

1307
01:27:59,520 –> 01:28:02,840
the terrorans and ensure that Bocoharum could not overrun the

1308
01:28:02,920 –> 01:28:06,840
communities the soldiers protect. While mourning the death of the

1309
01:28:06,920 –> 01:28:10,800
gallant soldiers, President Tanubu urged the leadership of the Armed

1310
01:28:10,880 –> 01:28:13,279
forces and all soldiers on the front line not to

1311
01:28:13,359 –> 01:28:16,439
be discouraged, but to draw strength from the nation’s deep

1312
01:28:16,479 –> 01:28:20,920
appreciation for their sacrifices. From the reports I have received,

1313
01:28:21,439 –> 01:28:25,279
our armed forces have been conducting sustained intense land and

1314
01:28:25,359 –> 01:28:29,520
their offensives against the insurgents, neutralizing many of their fighters

1315
01:28:29,600 –> 01:28:34,119
and commanders. The insurgents counter attack is a sign of desperation.

1316
01:28:34,680 –> 01:28:38,359
I extend my condolences to the families of our gallant

1317
01:28:38,439 –> 01:28:42,800
soldiers led by Brigadier General Assaniomo Bramer, who made the

1318
01:28:42,920 –> 01:28:46,039
ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our country today in

1319
01:28:46,119 –> 01:28:50,920
Borno State. The government will never forget their sacrifices. Their

1320
01:28:51,000 –> 01:28:54,439
sacrifices will not be in vain because of the courage

1321
01:28:54,479 –> 01:28:57,560
and dedication of our troops on the front line. Are

1322
01:28:57,640 –> 01:29:00,920
resolved to defeat terrorism and all forms of violence. Across

1323
01:29:01,039 –> 01:29:04,680
Nigeria is stronger than ever. I urge the military High

1324
01:29:04,720 –> 01:29:08,079
Command and our troops in all theaters of operation do

1325
01:29:08,239 –> 01:29:11,680
not lose heart, do not be weary, do not be discouraged.

1326
01:29:12,399 –> 01:29:15,319
Our offices and men should continue to serve with honor,

1327
01:29:15,680 –> 01:29:20,079
courage and patriotism. The government will always stand by the

1328
01:29:20,279 –> 01:29:23,760
armed forces, provide more of the equipment needed and ensure

1329
01:29:23,840 –> 01:29:26,880
the welfare of all who risk their lives for our safety.

1330
01:29:27,640 –> 01:29:30,800
I urge Nigerians and the media to continue to support

1331
01:29:30,880 –> 01:29:34,720
our military in their relentless battle against insurgency and banditry.

1332
01:29:35,520 –> 01:29:39,000
We should desist from celebrating or condoning the attacks against

1333
01:29:39,079 –> 01:29:44,319

1356

were left dead during the attacks, but refused to state

1357
01:31:13,880 –> 01:31:17,720
the total numbers of soldiers killed by the attackers. Accordingly,

1358
01:31:17,960 –> 01:31:21,760
the army said, regrettably, the encounter resulted in the loss

1359
01:31:21,800 –> 01:31:24,239
of a few brave and gallant soldiers who paid the

01:33:03,239 –> 01:33:06,560
According to the Nigeria Defense Headquarters in a press release

1384
01:33:06,640 –> 01:33:11,680
that looked apparently self contradicting, questionable and somehow dishonest with facts.

1385
01:33:12,239 –> 01:33:16,600
In continuation of the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s AFN counter

1386
01:33:16,800 –> 01:33:20,640
terrorism efforts. Troops of the twenty nine Task Forced Brigade

1387
01:33:20,720 –> 01:33:24,159
in Operation had In Kai came under a coordinated terrorist

1388
01:33:24,199 –> 01:33:27,520
attack on their location at the brigade headquarters in Benichet,

1389
01:33:27,920 –> 01:33:32,479
Borno State. The attack occurred at approximately zero thirty hours

1390
01:33:32,800 –> 01:33:36,000
twelve thirty a m. On Thursday, the ninth of April

1391
01:33:36,079 –> 01:33:39,920
twenty twenty six, as insurgents attempted to breach the defensive

1392
01:33:40,000 –> 01:33:44,880
perimeter of the military installation. However, the troops, led by

1393
01:33:44,920 –> 01:33:49,760
the commander twenty nine Brigade, Brigadier General Usseiny Bramer, responded

1394
01:33:49,800 –> 01:33:55,119
with exceptional courage, professionalism, and superior firepower in a well

1395
01:33:55,159 –> 01:33:59,840
coordinated counteraction. The insurgents were decisively engaged and forced to

1396
01:33:59,880 –> 01:34:03,920
retreat in disarray, abandoning their mission and leaving behind traces

1397
01:34:04,000 –> 01:34:07,640
of their failed assort. This attack is a clear indication

1398
01:34:07,800 –> 01:34:12,000
of the desperation of terrorist elements, who, having suffered significant

1399
01:34:12,079 –> 01:34:15,800
losses in recent operations, continue to resort to futile and

1400
01:34:15,880 –> 01:34:20,600
ill fated offenses against well defended military positions. The swift

1401
01:34:20,640 –> 01:34:24,039
and decisive response by troops underscores the high level of

1402
01:34:24,159 –> 01:34:29,319
combat readiness, resilience, and operational effectiveness of Operation hadden Kai

1403
01:34:29,479 –> 01:34:33,720
in safeguarding critical locations and maintaining pressure on terrorist groups

1404
01:34:33,760 –> 01:34:38,319
across the northeast theater. Regrettably, the encounter resulted in the

1405
01:34:38,399 –> 01:34:41,079
loss of a few brave and gallant soldiers who paid

1406
01:34:41,119 –> 01:34:44,479
the supreme price in the line of duty. The Chief

officer in five months. Africa’s most populous country has been

1441
01:37:13,279 –> 01:37:18,199
fighting a terrorist insurgency for seventeen years since Boco’haram’s two

1442
01:37:18,279 –> 01:37:21,439
thousand and nine uprising, which has seen the emergence of

1443
01:37:21,520 –> 01:37:26,560
powerful splinter groups, including Islamic State West Africa Province. In

1444
01:37:26,680 –> 01:37:31,319

01:38:19,800 –> 01:38:24,560
terrorists killed several troops and burned vehicles and buildings before

1457
01:38:24,600 –> 01:38:28,840
they withdrew without giving a toll. The Army in Nigeria’s

1458

The type of bloody urban attacks reminiscent of the insurgencies

1461
01:38:42,199 –> 01:38:45,880
peak a decade ago. On Wednesday, the U S State

1464
01:38:53,399 –> 01:38:58,560

1497
01:41:15,199 –> 01:41:18,680
in late twenty twenty five. The two attacks were co

1498
01:41:18,840 –> 01:41:23,640
ordinated and simultaneous. Senator ali In Dum confirmed both incidents,

1499
01:41:24,119 –> 01:41:26,880
noting that troops are doing their best but lack sufficient

1500
01:41:26,960 –> 01:41:31,600
equipment to confront the terrorists. Fulka currently hosts thousands of

1501
01:41:31,720 –> 01:41:35,800
displaced survivors from the Ngosh massacre of March third. The

1502
01:41:35,960 –> 01:41:40,039
terrorists hit it again last night. My thoughts Tenubu and

1503
01:41:40,119 –> 01:41:44,359
his administration should relocate to the military base there. Perhaps

1504
01:41:44,479 –> 01:41:47,640
the next attack will solve all of Nigeria’s problems all

1505
01:41:47,720 –> 01:41:51,119
at once. When they are visited by the brothers and

1506
01:41:51,680 –> 01:41:56,039
sons and given a fitting send off note. The troops

1507
01:41:56,119 –> 01:42:00,560
lack insufficient equipment. Too bad, they can’t fight with restoring

1508
01:42:00,680 –> 01:42:04,800
hope buses or bags of rice or three hundred million

1509
01:42:04,880 –> 01:42:10,399
Lyris wrist watches. The Nigerian government is illegitimate, illegal, corrupt

1510
01:42:10,479 –> 01:42:14,600
and complicit. Innocent people continue to pay the price. This

1511
01:42:14,880 –> 01:42:25,439
must end. Nigeria President bolahmed To Nubu has given reasons

1512
01:42:25,560 –> 01:42:28,760
why he could not visit the Anguin Rocouba community the

1513
01:42:28,880 –> 01:42:32,399
scenes some citizens were massacred by terrorists on Palm Sunday,

1514
01:42:32,800 –> 01:42:37,399
saying upon arrival in Jos, the visit encountered some logistical challenges.

1515
01:42:37,880 –> 01:42:40,920
While the road distance from the airport to Joss township

1516
01:42:41,039 –> 01:42:44,600
is approximately forty minutes, the runway does not support night

1517
01:42:44,720 –> 01:42:48,399
flights due to the absence of navigational aids. The constraints

1518
01:42:48,439 –> 01:42:51,640
made it unfeasible to drive into town, meet victims for

1519
01:42:51,720 –> 01:42:55,840
on the spot assessment and return to the airport before dusk. Consequently,

1520
01:42:56,239 –> 01:42:59,600
state and federal officials decided to bring representatives of the

1521
01:42:59,640 –> 01:43:03,079
effect Did community to all adjoining the airport so the

1522
01:43:03,159 –> 01:43:06,439
President could meet with them promptly while adhering to flight

1523
01:43:06,520 –> 01:43:11,239
restrictions swiftly. Peter Obi, former governor of a Nambra State

1524
01:43:11,359 –> 01:43:14,960
and the Labor Party presidential candidate in the last general

1525
01:43:15,039 –> 01:43:19,319
elections in Nigeria said during his visit to Benaway State

1526
01:43:19,479 –> 01:43:23,439
in June twenty twenty five, Bola Ahmed Tanubu stopped at

1527
01:43:23,479 –> 01:43:26,239
the government house but did not go to the actual

1528
01:43:26,399 –> 01:43:31,000
scene where innocent Nigerians lost their lives. Similarly, in Jos,

1529
01:43:31,479 –> 01:43:34,119
his engagement ended at the airport instead of at the

1530
01:43:34,199 –> 01:43:38,159
affected communities. At a time when Nigerians are enduring days

1531
01:43:38,239 –> 01:43:41,840
without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes

1532
01:43:41,920 –> 01:43:45,119
without it. Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders,

1533
01:43:45,680 –> 01:43:49,600
those lacking the capacity and compassion who prioritize their own

1534
01:43:49,680 –> 01:43:52,079
comfort over the well being of the people and make

1535
01:43:52,199 –> 01:43:56,600
empty promises. On the other hand, Atiku Abubaka, the former

1536
01:43:56,680 –> 01:44:00,760
Vice President of Nigeria and the last general elections presidential

1537
01:44:00,920 –> 01:44:05,840
candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, demanded President Bola

1538
01:44:05,960 –> 01:44:08,840
armed to Nubu act as the commander in chief of

1539
01:44:08,920 –> 01:44:12,439
the armed forces and stated how dozens have continued to

1540
01:44:12,520 –> 01:44:15,920
be killed in Beneway State less than seventy two hours.

1541
01:44:16,319 –> 01:44:20,079
Another killings in Kaduna’s State and thousands of people seen

1542
01:44:20,279 –> 01:44:23,960
running away at a community in Nasarawa State after the

1543
01:44:24,039 –> 01:44:27,840
President had visited Plato State and promised such attack would

1544
01:44:27,880 –> 01:44:31,600
and occurred again. According to Ratiku Abubaka, I wish to

1545
01:44:31,680 –> 01:44:34,640
remind President Bola to Anubu to keep to his words

1546
01:44:34,680 –> 01:44:38,039
that this hang when Rakuba attack will not repeat itself.

1547
01:44:38,560 –> 01:44:41,079
It does appear that those words are hollow because barely

1548
01:44:41,199 –> 01:44:45,119
seventy two hours another attack in Benewey’s state claimed over

1549
01:44:45,199 –> 01:44:48,319
a dozen lives. The Commander in Chief should brace up

1550
01:44:48,359 –> 01:44:53,079
to the challenges of governance. President Bola Hmed Tanubu, through

1551
01:44:53,159 –> 01:44:55,760
the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on

1552
01:44:55,920 –> 01:44:59,880
Information and Strategy BeO on Anuga, on April third, twenty

1553
01:45:00,000 –> 01:45:04,039
twenty six, in a statement, said President Danubu’s itinery for

1554
01:45:04,159 –> 01:45:09,319
Thursday included two main engagements, receiving the Chadian President Mahamat

1555
01:45:09,439 –> 01:45:14,359
Idris Dabi Igno and proceeding to Riperu, Ogan State. After

1556
01:45:14,479 –> 01:45:18,800
Governor Caleb Matfoin’s briefing, President Tanubu suspended the trip to

1557
01:45:18,880 –> 01:45:23,560
Ogan overnight, the presidential villa made arrangements for the visit

1558
01:45:23,640 –> 01:45:29,000
to Jos with presidential assets quickly deployed. However, the President

1559
01:45:29,079 –> 01:45:32,079
could not postpone the scheduled visit by the Chalian leader.

1560
01:45:32,840 –> 01:45:35,680
The President of Chad was at the Presidential Villa for

1561
01:45:35,760 –> 01:45:40,319
a very important bilateral meeting focused on strengthening security collaboration

1562
01:45:40,560 –> 01:45:44,680
between the two countries. The meeting ran longer than expected,

1563
01:45:45,079 –> 01:45:50,319
affecting President Tanubu’s scheduled departure for Jos. Upon arrival in Jos,

1564
01:45:50,840 –> 01:45:55,000
the visit encountered some logistical challenges. While the road distance

1565
01:45:55,079 –> 01:45:58,560
from the airport to Jos township is approximately forty minutes,

1566
01:45:59,000 –> 01:46:01,399
the runway does not so night flights due to the

1567
01:46:01,479 –> 01:46:06,079
absence of navigational aids. The constraints made it unfeasible to

1568
01:46:06,199 –> 01:46:09,479
drive into town, meet victims for on the spot assessment,

1569
01:46:09,560 –> 01:46:14,079
and return to the airport before dusk. Consequently, state and

1570
01:46:14,199 –> 01:46:18,199
federal officials decided to bring representatives of the affected community

1571
01:46:18,319 –> 01:46:20,960
to a hall adjoining the airports so the President could

1572
01:46:21,760 –> 01:46:25,760
meet with them promptly while adhering to flight restrictions. Among

1573
01:46:25,840 –> 01:46:28,239
the people in the hall were the Minister of Defense,

1574
01:46:28,720 –> 01:46:31,800
the Chief of Army Staff, and the Inspector General of Police,

1575
01:46:32,079 –> 01:46:36,479
who had visited Racooba the epicenter of the conflict. President

1576
01:46:36,560 –> 01:46:40,079
Tanubu deployed the high level team to Recouver, including the

1577
01:46:40,199 –> 01:46:45,119
Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement, to undertake critical groundwork

1578
01:46:45,159 –> 01:46:48,840
on security and community engagement with a view to stabilizing

1579
01:46:48,920 –> 01:46:53,159
the area before his arrival. Beyond expressing his condolences to

1580
01:46:53,239 –> 01:46:57,399
the victims, President Danubu’s objective was to engage with critical

1581
01:46:57,479 –> 01:47:01,239
stakeholders in Plateau State on ending the rec occurring decades

1582
01:47:01,279 –> 01:47:04,279
old conflict that has resulted in needless loss of life

1583
01:47:04,439 –> 01:47:08,079
and property. President t Anubu’s visit to Jos was not

1584
01:47:08,279 –> 01:47:12,439
merely symbolic. It was a strategic, high level engagement aimed

1585
01:47:12,479 –> 01:47:15,720
at bringing all stakeholders together to address the root causes

1586
01:47:15,760 –> 01:47:19,720
of conflict and insecurity in the state. He interacted with

1587
01:47:19,840 –> 01:47:24,000
the victims, consoled them and listened to them. He also

1588
01:47:24,159 –> 01:47:26,800
listened to local leaders and assured them that the federal

1589
01:47:26,880 –> 01:47:30,079
government would deliver justice and end the cycle of violence.

1590
01:47:30,920 –> 01:47:34,399
He promised the deployment of five thousand I enabled cameras

1591
01:47:34,479 –> 01:47:37,840
to monitor the city and enhance the identification and arrest

1592
01:47:37,920 –> 01:47:42,760
of trouble makers. Furthermore, the President invited the community leaders

1593
01:47:42,800 –> 01:47:46,000
to Abouja for further talks on finding a lasting solution

1594
01:47:46,199 –> 01:47:50,479
to the recurring violence in the state. The meeting televised

1595
01:47:50,520 –> 01:47:56,560
Life was solomon reassuring, boosting residence confidence. President Tanubu achieved

1596
01:47:56,600 –> 01:47:59,760
the purpose of his visit despite the naysayer’s attempts to

1597
01:47:59,800 –> 01:48:04,479
re kill it. He dropped an unmistakable message sustainable piece

1598
01:48:04,560 –> 01:48:08,720
must be built with the people, not imposed on them. Reacting,

1599
01:48:09,119 –> 01:48:13,399
Peter Obi said during the twenty twenty three campaign, President

1600
01:48:13,439 –> 01:48:16,760
Tanubu made a clear electoral promise. If I don’t give

1601
01:48:16,800 –> 01:48:20,359
you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me

1602
01:48:20,520 –> 01:48:23,800
for a second term. When he took office in twenty

1603
01:48:23,880 –> 01:48:27,439
twenty three, Nigeria had a power supply of over four

1604
01:48:27,560 –> 01:48:32,600
thousand megawats and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply

1605
01:48:32,800 –> 01:48:35,800
is less than four thousand megawats on the average and

1606
01:48:36,000 –> 01:48:40,600
Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest

1607
01:48:40,800 –> 01:48:44,479
kapita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below

1608
01:48:44,600 –> 01:48:48,680
thirty percent of the African average. Africa’s average is six

1609
01:48:48,840 –> 01:48:53,119
hundred and seventeen k wh. Nigeria’s is one hundred and

1610
01:48:53,279 –> 01:48:58,239
forty four kilowatt hours. This means that Nigerians consume least

1611
01:48:58,319 –> 01:49:02,399
electricity than other Africans. In a glaring display of disregard

1612
01:49:02,520 –> 01:49:06,279
for promises and the lack of trust, President Tanubu, during

1613
01:49:06,359 –> 01:49:09,359
a brief airport stop over to visit grieving families of

1614
01:49:09,439 –> 01:49:12,920
the Joss attack on Thursday, April second, twenty twenty six,

1615
01:49:13,359 –> 01:49:15,840
stated that one of the reasons for his ten minutes

1616
01:49:15,880 –> 01:49:19,399
stay was that the airport had no electricity. You have

1617
01:49:19,600 –> 01:49:22,560
no light here, I fly out in ten minutes. At

1618
01:49:22,560 –> 01:49:26,000
a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our

1619
01:49:26,079 –> 01:49:29,840
leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it. Now

1620
01:49:30,039 –> 01:49:33,399
is the time to stop incompetent leaders, those lacking the

1621
01:49:33,479 –> 01:49:37,359
capacity and compassion, who prioritize their own comfort over the

1622
01:49:37,399 –> 01:49:41,000
well being of the people and make empty promises. During

1623
01:49:41,119 –> 01:49:44,159
his visit to Benaway State in June twenty twenty five,

1624
01:49:44,680 –> 01:49:47,760
Bola Ahmed Tanubu stopped at the government house but did

1625
01:49:47,840 –> 01:49:51,239
not go to the actual scene where innocent Nigerians lost

1626
01:49:51,279 –> 01:49:56,479
their lives. Similarly, yesterday in Jos, his engagement ended at

1627
01:49:56,479 –> 01:50:00,560
the airport instead of at the affected communities. What happened

1628
01:50:00,600 –> 01:50:04,720
in Plato yesterday highlights a complete absence of leadership. True

1629
01:50:04,800 –> 01:50:09,600
leadership requires presence empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet

1630
01:50:09,640 –> 01:50:13,359
people where their pain truly lies. For citizens who have

1631
01:50:13,680 –> 01:50:17,199
just lost loved ones, homes and their sense of safety,

1632
01:50:17,560 –> 01:50:21,680
being addressed from an airport tarmac is profoundly inadequate. This

1633
01:50:21,840 –> 01:50:25,800
approach exacerbates the sense of abandonment already felt by innocent

1634
01:50:25,920 –> 01:50:30,079
Nigerians who have endured repeated cycles of violence without meaningful

1635
01:50:30,880 –> 01:50:35,359
protection or justice. Plato deserves more than distant words. It

1636
01:50:35,520 –> 01:50:38,439
requires urgent action and a clear commitment to ending the

1637
01:50:38,520 –> 01:50:43,119
insecurity that continues to claim innocent lives. In such moments,

1638
01:50:43,560 –> 01:50:47,520
leadership must not only be visible, but also tangible, standing

1639
01:50:47,600 –> 01:50:51,359
with victims, listening to survivors, and acknowledging the depth of

1640
01:50:51,399 –> 01:50:55,279
the grief. If we truly desire a better Nigeria, we

1641
01:50:55,439 –> 01:50:59,560
must demand leadership that is present, responsive, and responsible at

1642
01:50:59,560 –> 01:51:03,760
all time. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy

1643
01:51:03,840 –> 01:51:06,960
by those who once claim to have sacrificed to defend it,

1644
01:51:07,479 –> 01:51:10,199
but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and

1645
01:51:10,319 –> 01:51:14,119
silence opposition. History will not be kind to those who

1646
01:51:14,239 –> 01:51:17,159
traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power.

1647
01:51:17,920 –> 01:51:21,079
We will not remain silent, We will not be intimidated

1648
01:51:21,399 –> 01:51:23,720
and we will not surrender the future of this nation.

1649
01:51:24,560 –> 01:51:28,319
The will of the people must prevail stronger, louder and

1650
01:51:28,439 –> 01:51:33,079
impossible to suppress. Hatiku Abu Bakha said, I wish to

1651
01:51:33,159 –> 01:51:36,199
remind President Bola to Nubu takid to his words that

1652
01:51:36,600 –> 01:51:40,960
this anguin Rekouba attack will not repeat itself. It does

1653
01:51:41,000 –> 01:51:44,119
appear that those words are hollow because barely seventy two

1654
01:51:44,199 –> 01:51:48,199
hours another attack in Beneway State claimed over a dozen lives.

1655
01:51:49,039 –> 01:51:51,800
The Commander in chief should brace up to the challenges

1656
01:51:51,840 –> 01:51:56,119
of governance. I am also concerned, like all well meaning

1657
01:51:56,239 –> 01:51:59,439
Nigerians about what is going on in a Nasarawa community

1658
01:51:59,479 –> 01:52:02,479
where family had fled on foot amid threats of attack.

1659
01:52:03,239 –> 01:52:05,560
And as if those are not enough, there was a

1660
01:52:05,640 –> 01:52:09,319
fresh attack in Kaduna State at the weekend. The primary

1661
01:52:09,399 –> 01:52:13,000
responsibility of government is the protection of lives and property

1662
01:52:13,079 –> 01:52:16,680
in the promotion of the welfare of citizens. Enough of

1663
01:52:16,760 –> 01:52:21,000
these hollow rhetoric, mister President, it is time to fold

1664
01:52:21,079 –> 01:52:24,680
your sleeves and get to work. Meanwhile, my thoughts and

1665
01:52:24,760 –> 01:52:27,000
prayers are with the families who may have lost a

1666
01:52:27,119 –> 01:52:30,600
deer won in these attacks. I am outraged by the

1667
01:52:30,640 –> 01:52:35,760
barbaric attack in garry Yaway Community anguin recouver Jos, which

1668
01:52:35,840 –> 01:52:38,920
claimed the lights of scores of innocent Nigerians and left

1669
01:52:39,000 –> 01:52:43,159
many others injured. That this heinous assault occurred on Sunday night,

1670
01:52:43,640 –> 01:52:47,079
March twenty ninth, twenty twenty six is yet another damning

1671
01:52:47,159 –> 01:52:50,720
indictment of the near total collapse of security in our country.

1672
01:52:51,520 –> 01:52:54,399
What we are witnessing is not merely a security lapse,

1673
01:52:54,880 –> 01:52:57,920
but a tragic descent into lawlessness, where human lives are

1674
01:52:57,960 –> 01:53:02,680
treated as expendable. Despite endless pronouncements and so called marching

1675
01:53:02,840 –> 01:53:07,760
orders insecurity remains the grim daily reality of ordinary Nigerians

1676
01:53:07,800 –> 01:53:10,399
who continue to bear the brunt of a failing system.

1677
01:53:11,199 –> 01:53:14,279
It is long past the time for outrage without action.

1678
01:53:14,880 –> 01:53:18,600
The anger across the land must now compel urgent, decisive

1679
01:53:18,640 –> 01:53:22,760
political will to confront and crush this mennace. The continued

1680
01:53:22,840 –> 01:53:26,520
sorter of innocent citizens cannot become our new normal. My

1681
01:53:26,720 –> 01:53:29,399
thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones

1682
01:53:29,479 –> 01:53:31,880
of the victims in this dark and painful moment.

1683
01:53:32,920 –> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 6: Thank you much, Please visit it.

1684
01:53:37,760 –> 01:53:47,119
Speaker 11: You have no light and the apple and fly back within.

1685
01:53:47,960 –> 01:53:54,960
Inestemens to you leader, I’ve had.

1686
01:53:57,079 –> 01:54:06,079
Speaker 6: This to deceive you. There’s nothing I can give you

1687
01:54:07,680 –> 01:54:09,840
When I have money and billions?

1688
01:54:12,359 –> 01:54:13,319
Speaker 4: What console you?

1689
01:54:15,439 –> 01:54:22,680
Speaker 6: I promise you? That’s this experience we all repeat itself.

1690
01:54:28,279 –> 01:54:42,720
I take her for example, pavor Rodom. I know the pain.

1691
01:54:46,880 –> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 10: I see how only video you head on to a

1692
01:54:51,760 –> 01:54:57,640
you bandy and the pain, and I go in your heart.

1693
01:55:00,119 –> 01:55:04,399
But it’s only gold. It’s only gold.

1694
01:55:06,760 –> 01:55:16,439
Speaker 6: Who can give you joy and comfort? No amount of

1695
01:55:16,560 –> 01:55:18,439
money can pay all of your back.

1696
01:55:21,600 –> 01:55:28,159
Speaker 11: Yes, as government, who will try our best, who had

1697
01:55:29,560 –> 01:55:30,800
accommodated us.

1698
01:55:32,560 –> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 6: Politically. I brought.

1699
01:55:37,840 –> 01:55:43,960
Speaker 11: The symbol of this cap to break the shackle shackle

1700
01:55:44,239 –> 01:55:54,399
of violence, shackle of ignorance, shackle of poverty, shackle of hopelessness.

1701
01:55:57,000 –> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 6: We must break it together.

1702
01:56:00,000 –> 01:56:03,079
Speaker 2: Okay.

1703
01:56:05,520 –> 01:56:08,880
Speaker 11: I thank the men and women of the am forces,

Speaker 11: I used to point to you out well we spent

1716
01:57:11,680 –> 01:57:22,239
the night. Were the leaders but leaders of apologies? Well

01:57:22,560 –> 01:57:28,520
I was active as a young man. You have commentated us,

1718
01:57:28,600 –> 01:57:30,159
you’ll put your doors for us.

1719
01:57:35,319 –> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 10: Then why you wait building division?

1720
01:57:40,640 –> 01:57:48,840
Speaker 11: Our promise then was progressive development, improved standard of living

1721
01:57:48,920 –> 01:57:49,560
for our people.

1722
01:57:51,000 –> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 6: Not to bury but to develop immediately.

1723
01:58:04,359 –> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 8: We’ll talk to a gilder.

1724
01:58:07,720 –> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 6: The committee.

1725
01:58:08,880 –> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 11: As mentioned, you increase the number of leaders, including a highway,

1726
01:58:21,359 –> 01:58:27,319
the governor and the Minister of Humanitarian appears. The minister,

1727
01:58:27,560 –> 01:58:38,840
thank you, come see me take no marriage correct analysis.

1728
01:58:39,039 –> 01:58:40,680
You’re a data person.

1729
01:58:42,159 –> 01:58:48,399
Speaker 6: For the victims. Let’s see what we can do for

1730
01:58:48,520 –> 01:58:49,159
the allosses.

1731
01:58:49,319 –> 01:58:56,720
Speaker 11: We cannot replace and whom I’ve been, but whatever I would.

1732
01:58:56,560 –> 01:58:58,439
Speaker 6: Do to give them minimum.

1733
01:58:58,319 –> 01:59:01,279
Speaker 4: Comfort, we will.

1734
01:59:13,840 –> 01:59:17,279
Speaker 1: Young man who identified himself as a four hundred level

1735
01:59:17,359 –> 01:59:20,600
student in the Department of Statistics at the University of

1736
01:59:20,720 –> 01:59:24,319
Jos Eunijos in Plateau State, has given accounts how he

1737
01:59:24,479 –> 01:59:26,720
was told to go and collect the dead body of

1738
01:59:26,800 –> 01:59:29,359
his sibling on the phone by the attackers, who on

1739
01:59:29,560 –> 01:59:32,520
Wednesday were seen in a viral video that mobbed and

1740
01:59:32,680 –> 01:59:35,560
stoned his sibling almost to death at an ever busy

1741
01:59:35,720 –> 01:59:39,880
road near the permanent site of the University of Joss. Accordingly,

1742
01:59:40,239 –> 01:59:42,800
he said the victim, who happened to be his younger sibling,

1743
01:59:43,039 –> 01:59:46,359
is also a three hundred level student in the Department

1744
01:59:46,479 –> 01:59:50,319
of Geology from the same University of Joss, saying his

1745
01:59:50,479 –> 01:59:53,239
younger sibling only went out around eight or nine on

1746
01:59:53,399 –> 01:59:56,399
Wednesday morning to resolve issue with his bank account at

1747
01:59:56,479 –> 01:59:59,079
terminus area of the Joss City when he came under

1748
01:59:59,159 –> 02:00:02,279
attack after the driver of the commercial tricycle or keke

1749
02:00:02,520 –> 02:00:05,159
he entered abandoned him half way and asked him to

1750
02:00:05,279 –> 02:00:07,960
find way out for his own escape as the rampaging

1751
02:00:08,079 –> 02:00:11,520
mobs took over the road. According to the elder brother

1752
02:00:11,640 –> 02:00:15,239
of the mob victim, who also introduced himself simply as Nando,

1753
02:00:15,720 –> 02:00:19,039
his younger sibling, already sensing danger, called him on the

1754
02:00:19,159 –> 02:00:22,479
phone that the keke driver had abandoned him half way

1755
02:00:22,560 –> 02:00:26,119
before the junction of his house, that he’s currently running

1756
02:00:26,159 –> 02:00:29,479
on the street towards home, adding the victim begged him

1757
02:00:29,520 –> 02:00:32,479
to look for commercial motorcycle or a cardo rider to

1758
02:00:32,600 –> 02:00:36,199
advance towards his direction and wait at their street junction

1759
02:00:36,399 –> 02:00:39,439
to help him home. But while he made attempt to

1760
02:00:39,520 –> 02:00:43,239
do as requested by his younger brother, the security operatives

1761
02:00:43,279 –> 02:00:46,720
in the area prevented him, saying they can’t allow him

1762
02:00:46,760 –> 02:00:49,920
go out because the situation in town was too dangerous,

1763
02:00:50,720 –> 02:00:53,720
he said. While he was looking helpless, he decided to

1764
02:00:53,800 –> 02:00:56,600
put a call across to his younger brother, only for

1765
02:00:56,720 –> 02:00:59,279
the phones called to be answered by the attackers, who

1766
02:00:59,319 –> 02:01:01,600
spoke to him in house the language that they have

1767
02:01:01,800 –> 02:01:04,720
killed his brother that he should go to the scene

1768
02:01:04,760 –> 02:01:06,680
to pick his younger brother’s dead body.

1769
02:01:07,479 –> 02:01:07,840
Speaker 4: He said.

1770
02:01:07,880 –> 02:01:10,680
Speaker 1: He started crying and a lot of people around started

1771
02:01:10,800 –> 02:01:14,159
concerning him, while the security operatives at the senior staff

1772
02:01:14,279 –> 02:01:17,520
quarters gate still prevented him from going out until there

1773
02:01:17,680 –> 02:01:21,640
is normalcy in the area, he said, some sympathizers took

1774
02:01:21,720 –> 02:01:24,159
him home from the point he was to the university

1775
02:01:24,279 –> 02:01:27,079
staff quarters, where his neighbors, who came in to also

1776
02:01:27,239 –> 02:01:30,640
console him, started encouraging him not to cry again, with

1777
02:01:30,760 –> 02:01:34,800
the optimism that his younger brother is not dead, he said.

1778
02:01:34,880 –> 02:01:37,560
One of his neighbors thereafter asked him to report the

1779
02:01:37,640 –> 02:01:40,600
issue at the police station, which they did and submitted

1780
02:01:40,640 –> 02:01:43,800
the snapped copy of the victim’s student identity card at

1781
02:01:43,800 –> 02:01:47,079
the police station and returned home waiting for feedback from

1782
02:01:47,119 –> 02:01:50,199
the police. He said he was waiting on the police

1783
02:01:50,279 –> 02:01:53,439
for feedback, he decided to log in into his WhatsApp

1784
02:01:53,520 –> 02:01:56,399
group chats and behold, he saw a video of his

1785
02:01:56,560 –> 02:01:59,640
younger brother being interviewed at a hospital bed inside and

1786
02:01:59,760 –> 02:02:02,560
under disclosed medical center and that was how he knew

1787
02:02:02,640 –> 02:02:05,960
he was still alive and his whereabouts. It would be

1788
02:02:06,079 –> 02:02:08,239
recalled that we had reported that it may not be

1789
02:02:08,359 –> 02:02:11,680
wrong to say lack of proper accountability by the Nigeria

1790
02:02:11,760 –> 02:02:15,479
Police Force, President Bulla armed Tanubu and the Governor of

1791
02:02:15,560 –> 02:02:19,680
Plato State, Caleb Matfoung is largely responsible for the daily

1792
02:02:19,800 –> 02:02:23,119
killings in the troubled Joss city of Plato State. This

1793
02:02:23,319 –> 02:02:26,520
is probably glaring on Wednesday when a resident reported with

1794
02:02:26,600 –> 02:02:30,199
a video evidence of a disturbing situation wherein a man

1795
02:02:30,439 –> 02:02:32,600
was seen mobbed and stone to death at a very

1796
02:02:32,720 –> 02:02:36,359
popular and ever busy road apparently within the area or

1797
02:02:36,439 –> 02:02:40,199
near the University of Joss permanent site. Group of attackers

1798
02:02:40,279 –> 02:02:42,960
are seen in the video operated for some minutes, if

1799
02:02:43,039 –> 02:02:46,439
not up for an hour, used Styx stones among others

1800
02:02:46,479 –> 02:02:49,359
to hit the victim’s head until they were satisfied the

1801
02:02:49,439 –> 02:02:52,760
man would have been dead, while vehicles were seen speeding

1802
02:02:52,840 –> 02:02:55,800
off and moving away from them with no resistance or

1803
02:02:55,920 –> 02:03:00,479
timely response from them Nigerian’s security operatives, even when the

1804
02:03:00,600 –> 02:03:04,680
worsening security situations and tensions in Plato’s state have become

1805
02:03:04,720 –> 02:03:08,520
of global concern. This the Plato State Command of the

1806
02:03:08,640 –> 02:03:12,359
Nigeria Police Force in a statement on Wednesday, only said

1807
02:03:12,399 –> 02:03:16,920
a disagreement ensued between some youths in Nasarawaguan community of

1808
02:03:17,079 –> 02:03:21,319
Joss North Local Government Area on Wednesday and caused minor

1809
02:03:21,479 –> 02:03:26,119
tensions in the town, saying unfortunately, some hoodlums and crisis

1810
02:03:26,279 –> 02:03:29,840
merchants took advantage of the situation to cause fear and

1811
02:03:29,960 –> 02:03:34,680
panic among traders and students within the university community. However,

1812
02:03:35,079 –> 02:03:39,479
the Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, swiftly intervened,

1813
02:03:39,920 –> 02:03:43,039
arrested the situation and restored calm in the area. But

1814
02:03:43,119 –> 02:03:46,720
the Nigeria Police Force Command apparently kept newte on the

1815
02:03:46,840 –> 02:03:49,960
now viral video of a man being mobbed and stoned

1816
02:03:50,000 –> 02:03:52,760
to death in a brutal and highly provocative manner that

1817
02:03:52,880 –> 02:03:56,680
can cause the reprisal attack, more so as daily killings

1818
02:03:56,720 –> 02:04:00,119
in the state are attributed to religious differences, although one

1819
02:04:00,199 –> 02:04:03,479
person said the victim was still alive, but some newspapers

1820
02:04:03,600 –> 02:04:07,319
reported on Thursday morning that three persons, including the victim,

1821
02:04:07,399 –> 02:04:10,359
were killed in the fresh violence that erupted in Plato

1822
02:04:10,520 –> 02:04:11,600
State on Wednesday.

1823
02:04:12,720 –> 02:04:16,359
Speaker 12: When the day break, my brother was like, he wants

1824
02:04:16,359 –> 02:04:20,079
to go to Deminos because he was like, he’s having

So he entered and like the k was.

1839

02:06:06,840 –> 02:06:09,640
of like all the place. Because of the condition of

1861
02:06:09,680 –> 02:06:12,560
the place, it’s not as safe. So they said that

1862
02:06:13,319 –> 02:06:15,640
I would not be going out of the boatle I

1863
02:06:15,760 –> 02:06:18,680
have to stay because it wn’t look the gates didn’t

1864
02:06:18,680 –> 02:06:21,520

02:06:21,600 –> 02:06:24,760

02:06:28,239 –> 02:06:31,880
when I called him and the people that I don’t know,

02:06:32,000 –> 02:06:34,840
the people that attack him, I don’t even know, they

02:06:35,000 –> 02:06:36,960
don’t want to pick the call. And they was like

1870
02:06:37,960 –> 02:06:40,760
they picked the call and they don’t say hello. Like

1871
02:06:40,880 –> 02:06:42,840

1872
02:06:42,840 –> 02:06:44,159

to telling us coming back all this kind stuff and

1885
02:07:18,239 –> 02:07:20,560
they were like, let me keep buy it. My brother

1886
02:07:20,720 –> 02:07:21,199
is not dead.

1887
02:07:21,880 –> 02:07:23,720
Speaker 13: They believed that he will still come back. Let me

1888
02:07:23,760 –> 02:07:24,359
stop crying.

1889
02:07:25,039 –> 02:07:27,560
Speaker 12: He believed that they believed that my brother is maybe

1890
02:07:27,640 –> 02:07:30,119
someone come and rescueing to the host or something like that,

1891
02:07:30,239 –> 02:07:32,760

1892
02:07:32,920 –> 02:07:36,319
Speaker 13: And they were just fear fear in me, and I

Speaker 13: Those try and consult me, and they calmed me down.

1896
02:07:41,800 –> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 12: I said, okay, So when I stayed for one hour, yeah,

1897
02:07:45,960 –> 02:07:49,199
let me go to one hour, I was like, I

1898
02:07:49,399 –> 02:07:52,479

1899
02:07:53,000 –> 02:07:55,800
my landlady, my neighbors, she came and told me called

02:07:55,840 –> 02:07:58,279

02:08:27,960 –> 02:08:31,039

02:08:53,319 –> 02:08:56,319
videos post my group chad.

1920
02:08:56,359 –> 02:08:56,720
Speaker 7: They know me.

1921
02:08:56,880 –> 02:09:00,159
Speaker 12: So there’s there’s also the video online and yours that

1922
02:09:00,279 –> 02:09:04,800
posting on my OURSAP platform. And I was like, when

1923
02:09:04,880 –> 02:09:08,039
I enter, I checked the video and I I played

1924
02:09:08,039 –> 02:09:12,399
the video and and I hear my Royers boys. They

1925
02:09:12,479 –> 02:09:15,600
were like Ryan to make into the interview team. They

1926
02:09:15,640 –> 02:09:17,279
were asking, okay, what is your name?

1927
02:09:17,840 –> 02:09:19,079
Speaker 13: Said is no? Name is long?

1928
02:09:19,159 –> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 8: And one shop?

1929
02:09:20,640 –> 02:09:21,960
Speaker 13: Which which? Which?

1930
02:09:22,119 –> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 12: Which department? He said, Joe LOGI generally level with the

1931
02:09:25,880 –> 02:09:28,880
rest of jos. Then Doma was like, okay, we have

1932
02:09:29,039 –> 02:09:32,079
a relative or do you stay with anyone around? Then

1933
02:09:32,159 –> 02:09:34,680
said yes, They said it was the name of the person.

1934
02:09:35,319 –> 02:09:38,680
He said, his name is Nando. I sim okay and

1935
02:09:38,800 –> 02:09:42,039
Doman goes right today she she asked him, okay, which

1936
02:09:42,199 –> 02:09:42,960
which department?

1937
02:09:43,359 –> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 4: She said?

1938
02:09:43,840 –> 02:09:46,279
Speaker 12: He says that this is the department four hundred level.

1939
02:09:46,680 –> 02:09:50,319
The man goes right everything. Then again it was post

1940
02:09:50,640 –> 02:09:53,640
the post the video online, so there’s that. People are

1941
02:09:53,680 –> 02:09:56,960
just just taching me. The people started calling me. That’s

1942
02:09:57,000 –> 02:09:59,079
how I know where it’s fair.

1943
02:10:04,359 –> 02:10:06,600
Speaker 1: It may not be wrong to say lack of proper

1944
02:10:06,640 –> 02:10:11,520
accountability by the Nigeria Police Force, President Bola Hmeddanubu and

1945
02:10:11,560 –> 02:10:15,680
the Governor of Plato State, Caleb Matfwug is largely responsible

1946
02:10:15,720 –> 02:10:18,359
for the daily killings in the troubled Joss city of

1947
02:10:18,479 –> 02:10:22,079
Plato State. This is probably glaring on Wednesday when a

1948
02:10:22,199 –> 02:10:26,119
resident reported with the video evidence of a disturbing situation

1949
02:10:26,319 –> 02:10:29,079
wherein a man was seen mobbed and stoned to death

1950
02:10:29,119 –> 02:10:32,279
that are very popular and ever busy road, apparently within

1951
02:10:32,439 –> 02:10:35,960
the area or near the University of Joss permanent site.

1952
02:10:36,439 –> 02:10:39,439
Group of attackers are seen in the video operated for

1953
02:10:39,560 –> 02:10:42,520
some minutes, if not up to an hour, used styx

1954
02:10:42,920 –> 02:10:45,600
stones among others to hit the victim’s head until they

1955
02:10:45,680 –> 02:10:49,039
were satisfied the man would have been dead, while vehicles

1956
02:10:49,079 –> 02:10:51,640
were seen speeding off and moving away from them with

1957
02:10:51,760 –> 02:10:56,319
no resistance or timely response from the Nigerian security operatives.

1958
02:10:56,399 –> 02:11:00,439
Even when the worsening security situations and tensions in Plato

1959
02:11:00,560 –> 02:11:04,479
State have become of global concern. This the Plato State

1960
02:11:04,520 –> 02:11:07,640
Command of the Nigeria Police Force, in a statement on

1961
02:11:07,760 –> 02:11:12,119
Wednesday only said a disagreement ensued between some youths in

1962
02:11:12,239 –> 02:11:17,239
Nasrawaguan community of Joss North Local Government Area on Wednesday

1963
02:11:17,359 –> 02:11:21,960
and caused minor tentions in the town, saying unfortunately, some

1964
02:11:22,119 –> 02:11:25,840
houblums and crisis merchants took advantage of the situation to

1965
02:11:25,960 –> 02:11:29,319
cause fear and panic among traders and students within the

1966
02:11:29,479 –> 02:11:35,119
university community. However, the Command, in collaboration with other security agencies,

1967
02:11:35,199 –> 02:11:39,600
swiftly intervened, arrested the situation and restored calm in the area.

1968
02:11:39,720 –> 02:11:43,399
But the Nigeria Police Force Command apparently kept mute on

1969
02:11:43,520 –> 02:11:46,279
the now viral video of a man being mobbed and

1970
02:11:46,439 –> 02:11:49,520
stoned to death in a brutal and highly provocative manner

1971
02:11:49,600 –> 02:11:53,079
that can cause the reprisal attack, more so as daily

1972
02:11:53,199 –> 02:11:56,760
killings in the state are attributed to religious differences. Although

1973
02:11:56,880 –> 02:11:59,520
some persons said the victim was still alive, but some

1974
02:11:59,680 –> 02:12:03,600
newspaper were reported on Thursday morning that three persons, including

1975
02:12:03,680 –> 02:12:06,640
the victim, were killed in the fresh violence that erupted

1976
02:12:06,680 –> 02:12:10,600
in Plato State on Wednesday. According to the police press

1977
02:12:10,760 –> 02:12:13,880
release signed and made available by the Plato State Police

1978
02:12:13,920 –> 02:12:19,159
Command Public Relations Officer Alfred Alabo, following the relaxation of

1979
02:12:19,239 –> 02:12:22,600
the forty eight hour curfew by the Executive Governor of

1980
02:12:22,680 –> 02:12:27,119
Plato State, the Commissioner of Police C P. Bassiowa advises

1981
02:12:27,199 –> 02:12:30,039
members of the public to comply with the curfew imposition

1982
02:12:30,560 –> 02:12:33,960
as there will be strict enforcement. In the early hours

1983
02:12:34,000 –> 02:12:37,560
of today, a disagreement which ensued between some muths in

1984
02:12:37,680 –> 02:12:42,560
Nasarawaguan community of Josslawth Local government area caused minor attentions

1985
02:12:42,640 –> 02:12:47,479
in the town. Unfortunately, some hoodlums and crisis merchants took

1986
02:12:47,520 –> 02:12:51,000
advantage of the situation to cause fear and panic amound

1987
02:12:51,079 –> 02:12:55,960
traders and students within the university community. However, the Command,

1988
02:12:56,000 –> 02:13:00,239
in collaboration with other security agencies, swiftly intervened aretas did

1989
02:13:00,279 –> 02:13:04,039
the situation, and restored calm in the area. Efforts have

1990
02:13:04,199 –> 02:13:07,159
since been made by the police, the state government and

1991
02:13:07,239 –> 02:13:09,960
the leadership of the school to provide buses to convey

1992
02:13:10,079 –> 02:13:14,079
the students to their preferred locations. While massive security deployment

1993
02:13:14,199 –> 02:13:17,239
has been made by the Command to secure other students

1994
02:13:17,319 –> 02:13:22,640
and school facilities. So far, the Command has arrested seven suspects,

1995
02:13:22,720 –> 02:13:26,880
including one Matthew Musa twenty seven years who was arrested

1996
02:13:26,920 –> 02:13:30,199
in possession of two locally made firearms and one Yakubu

1997
02:13:30,319 –> 02:13:33,920
Abdulahi twenty six years old, who was wearing a military

1998
02:13:34,039 –> 02:13:37,439
uniform with an extra shirt and a forged Nigerian Military

1999
02:13:37,520 –> 02:13:42,279
School identity card. The suspects are currently under investigation at

2000
02:13:42,319 –> 02:13:44,800
the State see ID and will be charged to court

2001
02:13:44,920 –> 02:13:49,439
upon conclusion. The CPE hereby warns all criminal elements who

2002
02:13:49,560 –> 02:13:52,199
intend to use this as an avenue to cause mayhem

2003
02:13:52,279 –> 02:13:55,079
within the state that the Command will not hesitate to

2004
02:13:55,159 –> 02:13:58,439
deal with them severely in accordance with the law. He

2005
02:13:59,000 –> 02:14:01,439
further warns the the the Command will not stand and

2006
02:14:01,520 –> 02:14:04,960
watch lawless hoodlums turn the state into a theatre for violence.

2007
02:14:05,840 –> 02:14:10,039
He therefore calls on all parents, traditional religious leaders to

2008
02:14:10,199 –> 02:14:14,399
warn their children, wards, congregants and followers to abide by

2009
02:14:14,399 –> 02:14:17,800
the curfew restrictions, as the Command will show no mercy

2010
02:14:17,880 –> 02:14:21,159
in ensuring that the Lord takes its full course. To

2020
02:15:15,520 –> 02:15:20,199
personally signed on Wednesday, President Bola Ahmed Tenubu said, I

2021
02:15:20,279 –> 02:15:24,560
have postponed my trip to reperu Ogan State. My first

2022
02:15:24,680 –> 02:15:27,159
duty at this moment is to stand with the people

2023
02:15:27,199 –> 02:15:30,319
of Plato. I will be in Jos to commiserate with

2024
02:15:30,439 –> 02:15:33,199
families who have lost loved once and to reaffirm that

2025
02:15:33,319 –> 02:15:36,640
those who seek to spread fear will not prevail. We

2026
02:15:36,720 –> 02:15:40,319
will continue to strengthen our security response and ensure that

2027
02:15:40,560 –> 02:15:44,439
justice is done. From Plato, I will proceed to Lagos

2028
02:15:44,479 –> 02:15:48,239
to observe good Friday and then continue with scheduled engagements

2029
02:15:48,279 –> 02:15:52,520
in Ogan, Lagos and By also focused on infrastructure, trade

2030
02:15:52,840 –> 02:15:57,359
and economic growth. In moments of grief, we must stand together.

2031
02:15:57,840 –> 02:16:02,319
In moments of progress, we must keep building. The work continues.

2032
02:16:02,760 –> 02:16:07,279
Nigeria First Governor Caleb Muttwang of Plateau State also stated

2033
02:16:07,319 –> 02:16:11,119
in a statement on Wednesday that today I visited President

2034
02:16:11,199 –> 02:16:13,560
Bolah arm At Tanubu to brief him on the Palm

2035
02:16:13,680 –> 02:16:17,319
Sunday night attack in the Anguin Recouba community of jossmoorp

2036
02:16:17,439 –> 02:16:20,600
Local government area and to update him on the proactive

2037
02:16:20,680 –> 02:16:24,680
measures we have taken to address the situation. The incident

2038
02:16:24,840 –> 02:16:28,199
was deeply unfortunate, but we thank God that the situation

2039
02:16:28,399 –> 02:16:32,319
has now been brought under control. In response to the attack,

2040
02:16:32,760 –> 02:16:37,000
we swiftly implemented several proactive steps, including the imposition of

2041
02:16:37,079 –> 02:16:40,520
a forty eight hour curfew, the reinforcement of the existing

2042
02:16:40,639 –> 02:16:44,879
ban on motorcycle operations within the Greater Jossmaster Plan, and

2043
02:16:45,000 –> 02:16:48,280
the immediate convening of a State Security Council meeting to

2044
02:16:48,360 –> 02:16:52,319
review and strengthen our security framework to prevent further escalation.

2045
02:16:53,280 –> 02:16:56,399
This morning, we relaxed the curfew from seven a m.

2046
02:16:56,559 –> 02:17:01,600
To three pm to allow residents attend to essential activity. Regrettably,

2047
02:17:02,040 –> 02:17:05,239
some miscreants took advantage of this window to engage in

2048
02:17:05,360 –> 02:17:09,280
looting an attempt to disrupt the peace. I am, however,

2049
02:17:09,840 –> 02:17:13,319
pleased to report that our security forces responded promptly in

2050
02:17:13,440 –> 02:17:17,719
restored order without delay. The President expressed his support for

2051
02:17:17,760 –> 02:17:20,559
the decisive measures we have put in place to contain

2052
02:17:20,680 –> 02:17:24,399
the situation and prevent a recurrence of such unfortunate incidents.

2053
02:17:25,239 –> 02:17:29,120
He also offered valuable counsel on strategies to achieve lasting

2054
02:17:29,239 –> 02:17:32,440
peace in the state and extended his heartfelt condolences to

2055
02:17:32,520 –> 02:17:36,399
the victims and the people of Plato State. Deeply moved

2056
02:17:36,479 –> 02:17:40,399
by the situation, the President has graciously adjusted his schedule

2057
02:17:40,520 –> 02:17:43,600
to undertake an emergency visit to Plato’s state as a

2058
02:17:43,680 –> 02:17:47,879
demonstration of his concern, solidarity and commitment to the people.

2059
02:17:48,680 –> 02:17:51,799
He has also approved additional measures to be implemented in

2060
02:17:51,920 –> 02:17:57,319
collaboration with security agencies to further stabilize the situation. Punch

2061
02:17:57,479 –> 02:18:02,000
newspaper had reported earlier on Wednesday, tension has again erupted

2062
02:18:02,079 –> 02:18:05,760
in Joss Plateau State as fresh attacks by hoodlums on

2063
02:18:05,920 –> 02:18:09,159
motorists and residents were recorded across several parts of the

2064
02:18:09,239 –> 02:18:13,159
city on Wednesday, despite the recent relaxation of the curfew

2065
02:18:13,239 –> 02:18:17,959
by the state government. According to our correspondent, sources said

2066
02:18:17,959 –> 02:18:20,280
a young man walking along the road leading to the

2067
02:18:20,399 –> 02:18:23,559
Unijoss Permanent Site was hacked to death by hoodlums who

2068
02:18:23,639 –> 02:18:28,200
descended on him without provocation. The killing further heightened panic

2069
02:18:28,239 –> 02:18:32,280
among residents already on edge over the growing unrest. In

2070
02:18:32,399 –> 02:18:36,920
the Terminus, Bouchie Road and Gangear areas, several motorists had

2071
02:18:36,959 –> 02:18:41,280
their windscreens smashed as mobs attacked passing vehicles and pedestrians.

2072
02:18:42,120 –> 02:18:46,799
Business activities were paralyzed across affected communities, with many shop

2073
02:18:46,840 –> 02:18:49,639
owners refusing to open for fear of being caught in

2074
02:18:49,719 –> 02:18:54,079
the violence. Banks operating in the volatile locations were also

2075
02:18:54,280 –> 02:18:58,200
forced to shut down operations temporarily as staff and customers

2076
02:18:58,200 –> 02:19:02,639
struggled to navigate the escalating tension. Residents listed the most

2077
02:19:02,680 –> 02:19:08,079
affected areas as the Unijos Corridor, Bouchie Road, Farangada, Tina

2078
02:19:08,200 –> 02:19:12,079
Junction and Chobe, noting that movement had significantly thinned out

2079
02:19:12,120 –> 02:19:16,440
as many people opted to remain indoors. Some newspaper also

2080
02:19:16,559 –> 02:19:20,280
reported that few hours after the relaxation of the forty

2081
02:19:20,360 –> 02:19:23,799
eight hour curfew imposed by the Plateau State government over

2082
02:19:23,959 –> 02:19:27,959
Sunday’s killing in Anguin Recouver, fresh violence rrupted around the

2083
02:19:28,040 –> 02:19:32,479
city center yesterday, heightening tension and uncertainty. In the latest

2084
02:19:32,639 –> 02:19:36,239
orgy of violence, two persons were killed in Gardabew area

2085
02:19:36,319 –> 02:19:39,879
when some rampaging youths attacked traders who had displayed their

2086
02:19:39,920 –> 02:19:42,559
wares early in the morning. While the third person was

2087
02:19:42,639 –> 02:19:46,040
hacked to death. Along Ferrangada Markets near the main campus

2088
02:19:46,120 –> 02:19:49,639
of the University of joss Unijos, in the heat of

2089
02:19:49,719 –> 02:19:53,440
the mayhem, the bells of the Fatima Cathedral church continuously

2090
02:19:53,559 –> 02:19:59,360
told signaling troubles. Consequently, youth from Gadebu Aparter and Choby

2091
02:19:59,440 –> 02:20:03,280
barricaded the gigantic artifice and chased away Hooblems who attempted

2092
02:20:03,360 –> 02:20:04,319
to attack the church.

2093
02:20:05,159 –> 02:20:08,040
Speaker 2: As the chief security officer of the state, how can

2094
02:20:08,120 –> 02:20:09,959
you correct this impression?

2095
02:20:10,200 –> 02:20:11,440
Speaker 1: The true picture of what.

2096
02:20:11,600 –> 02:20:14,680
Speaker 14: Is well in the crisis of this nature, you can

2097
02:20:14,799 –> 02:20:20,680
reduce it to one reason is a mixture of multiple reasons,

2098
02:20:20,879 –> 02:20:26,120
and sometimes you can only deduce the actual reasons when

2099
02:20:26,200 –> 02:20:29,239
you are able to get two groups of people, first

2100
02:20:29,280 –> 02:20:33,399
the victims and then the attackers. Unfortunately, we’ve not been

2101
02:20:33,440 –> 02:20:35,879
able to lay hands on the attackers yet to know

2102
02:20:36,040 –> 02:20:41,399
their identities and their motive. But of course the victims

2103
02:20:42,079 –> 02:20:47,479
would normally speak like you have said. But we are

2104
02:20:47,559 –> 02:20:50,680
seeing this as an act of criminality. Is barbaric. We

2105
02:20:50,799 –> 02:20:55,920
condemn it is an act of terrorism because whatever religion

2106
02:20:56,040 –> 02:20:59,479
you belong to. It does not give you any basis

2107
02:20:59,799 –> 02:21:05,479
to commandude kind of acchons were done on Sunday. We’re

2108
02:21:05,520 –> 02:21:08,920
therefore for pigned up going forward or deal with this

2109
02:21:09,159 –> 02:21:10,120
as criminality.

2110
02:21:15,479 –> 02:21:19,520
Speaker 1: President Bulla Ahmed Tenubu of Nigeria has commended the governors

2111
02:21:19,559 –> 02:21:23,159
of Kaduna and Plato States after citizens were massacred by

2112
02:21:23,319 –> 02:21:27,360
terrorists almost simultaneously on Sunday in the two states, with

2113
02:21:27,479 –> 02:21:31,200
the President claiming Governor Caleb Matfuan contained the situation in

2114
02:21:31,360 –> 02:21:35,079
Joss without specifically stating what the governor did, even when

2115
02:21:35,239 –> 02:21:39,879
armed terrorists scenes successfully invaded and massacred citizens or brutally

2116
02:21:39,959 –> 02:21:44,040
and indiscriminately shot sporadically and killed numbers of persons at

2117
02:21:44,079 –> 02:21:47,840
gary yar Way quarters in the Anguin Rocouba community of

2118
02:21:48,000 –> 02:21:52,639
Joss North Local Government area of Plato State on Sunday night,

2119
02:21:52,760 –> 02:21:55,719
which was also the Christians last day of the Holy

2120
02:21:55,840 –> 02:21:58,559
week of Lend known as Palm Sunday leading up to

2121
02:21:58,680 –> 02:22:02,959
Easter celebration. Residents said the terrorists raided the community and

2122
02:22:03,079 –> 02:22:06,399
operated for a long period of time that lasted after

2123
02:22:06,479 –> 02:22:10,360
an hour without resistance or any action from government. Some

2124
02:22:10,600 –> 02:22:14,040
even accused men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria a

2125
02:22:14,319 –> 02:22:16,719
f N of allegedly aiding and giving cover to the

2126
02:22:16,879 –> 02:22:20,319
terrorists to escape. Specifically, one of the youth’s leaders in

2127
02:22:20,440 –> 02:22:24,120
Platau State who spoke with a prominent Nigeria social media

2128
02:22:24,200 –> 02:22:29,079
personality Martin’s vincentotze K, a veridarkman who visited the scene

2129
02:22:29,120 –> 02:22:33,120
of the crime, said Nigeria’s soldiers prevented the youths from

2130
02:22:33,159 –> 02:22:36,360
going after the terrorists and stood in between the gaps,

2131
02:22:36,399 –> 02:22:39,840
shooting at the youths while the terrorists escaped. But in

2132
02:22:39,920 –> 02:22:44,200
a swift reaction on Tuesday, Nigeria Army authority debunked the

2133
02:22:44,280 –> 02:22:47,639
claim that the soliders gave the terrorists a cover, saying

2134
02:22:48,040 –> 02:22:50,680
the soldiers arrived the scene with four gun trucks after

2135
02:22:50,760 –> 02:22:54,520
the terrorists have left due to long distance and acted professionally,

2136
02:22:54,680 –> 02:22:58,959
without stating what the soldiers did professionally before the Sunday

2137
02:22:59,040 –> 02:23:02,399
massacre of Friday, in one of the burial ceremonies of

2138
02:23:02,440 –> 02:23:05,879
the people that were previously killed by terrorists in Plateau

2139
02:23:06,000 –> 02:23:10,319
State during the Christians Holy Week of Lent, Reverend Ezekiel Dakamo,

2140
02:23:10,440 –> 02:23:14,239
while speaking said in this village, rimming Re and Local

2141
02:23:14,319 –> 02:23:18,200
Government Area alone, we have received attacks from the Islamic

2142
02:23:18,399 –> 02:23:22,159
terrorists more than twenty four times, and many residents said

2143
02:23:22,159 –> 02:23:25,239
the Sunday massacre was premeditated and the governor and the

2144
02:23:25,319 –> 02:23:29,079
President apparently failed to put proactive measures in place to

2145
02:23:29,159 –> 02:23:32,639
prevent the attacks that aside. Almost at the same time

2146
02:23:32,719 –> 02:23:36,520
on Sunday, another group of terrorists attacked Kahir Village in

2147
02:23:36,639 –> 02:23:41,200
Kagako Local Government area of Kaduna State, shot sporadically at

2148
02:23:41,280 –> 02:23:44,760
residence and killed and kidnapped several numbers of wedding guests,

2149
02:23:45,120 –> 02:23:48,559
a crime. According to Punch newspaper. Are resident said the

2150
02:23:48,639 –> 02:23:51,719
attack is operated freely and successfully up to an hour

2151
02:23:51,840 –> 02:23:56,120
without resistance, but President Bola Ahmed Tanubu, in a press

2152
02:23:56,159 –> 02:24:00,559
statement on Tuesday, specifically said I commend Governor kayleb Mutfwang

2153
02:24:00,639 –> 02:24:03,719
of Platau State for his efforts in containing the situation

2154
02:24:04,000 –> 02:24:07,000
in Joss and Governor Uber Sai of Kaduna State for

2155
02:24:07,120 –> 02:24:11,600
supporting the rescue and containment efforts, apparently reacting to the

2156
02:24:11,680 –> 02:24:16,040
worsening security situation in Nigeria. Shortly after the president press

2157
02:24:16,159 –> 02:24:21,120
release was published on Tuesday, Lieutenant General to Kubraratie, former

2158
02:24:21,239 –> 02:24:24,319
Nigeria Chief of Army staff posted a video in his

2159
02:24:24,520 –> 02:24:30,799
verified Facebook social media account with a statement history Maida, Guri, Nigeria.

2160
02:24:31,440 –> 02:24:35,479
Year twenty seventeen, for the first time in years, the

2161
02:24:35,600 –> 02:24:39,200
Nigerian Army conducted military drills in the Sambi Sir Forest,

2162
02:24:39,239 –> 02:24:43,479
which previously had been a stronghold for Bokoharam. Voice of

2163
02:24:43,559 –> 02:24:49,159
America VOA was given rare access to the exercises. Formations

2164
02:24:49,200 –> 02:24:52,920
of the Nigerian Army performed their twenty seventeen annual drill

2165
02:24:53,000 –> 02:24:57,680
in Borno State in northeast Nigeria. The location in Sambi

2166
02:24:57,760 –> 02:25:01,280
Sir Forest was no accident. The ni Nigerian Army retix

2167
02:25:01,360 –> 02:25:05,239
Sambisa late twenty sixteen and moved its annual exercises there.

2168
02:25:06,000 –> 02:25:08,719
The event was attended by leaders from the military and

2169
02:25:08,799 –> 02:25:13,319
the Nigerian government. In contrast to the commendation of Plateau

2170
02:25:13,399 –> 02:25:17,239
and Kaduna states governors, it would be recalled. The President

2171
02:25:17,360 –> 02:25:20,920
Bola Tanoubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State

2172
02:25:21,079 –> 02:25:24,680
on March eighteenth, twenty twenty five, and gave six months

2173
02:25:24,719 –> 02:25:28,879
suspension to the governor. Similarly, Fabora and his deputy and

2174
02:25:29,000 –> 02:25:31,360
the State House of Assembly on the grounds that the

2175
02:25:31,399 –> 02:25:36,680
Fabara administration was failing to protect critical infrastructure, specifically regarding

2176
02:25:36,760 –> 02:25:41,399
the reported vandalization of oil pipelines like Trans Niger Pipeline

2177
02:25:41,479 –> 02:25:45,159
without intervention, even in the face of verifiable facts that

2178
02:25:45,319 –> 02:25:49,760
On February eighteenth, twenty twenty five, exactly one month before

2179
02:25:49,840 –> 02:25:54,360
his suspension, Fabara met with the General Officer Commanding GOOC

2180
02:25:54,559 –> 02:25:58,079
of the sixth Division, pledging full support for military efforts

2181
02:25:58,159 –> 02:26:02,639
to curb pipeline vandalism and protect national infrastructure, and invested

2182
02:26:02,719 –> 02:26:07,719
in operational equipment, including donating vehicles, gunboats, and an AW

2183
02:26:07,959 –> 02:26:11,239
one hundred and thirty nine helicopter to the Nigerian Air

2184
02:26:11,319 –> 02:26:14,760
Force on March fifth, twenty twenty five, to enhance their

2185
02:26:14,799 –> 02:26:19,719
efficiency in patrolling oil facilities, while Fabara also publicly charged

2186
02:26:19,760 –> 02:26:23,079
traditional rulers to actively work for peace in the domains

2187
02:26:23,120 –> 02:26:26,200
and help stem the tide of oil bunkering and vandalism.

2188
02:26:27,000 –> 02:26:31,959
According to American humanitarian and people’s rights activists Alex Barbeer,

2189
02:26:32,399 –> 02:26:34,840
if you have no right to breathe, what ride do

2190
02:26:34,959 –> 02:26:38,920
you have while people are fighting for elections and painting

2191
02:26:39,000 –> 02:26:44,360
banners of Tenubu and everybody’s worrying about APC, PDP LP,

2192
02:26:44,959 –> 02:26:48,120
You are being killed, at what point will the people

2193
02:26:48,280 –> 02:26:51,879
care about life? Alex Barbeer made this in reaction to

2194
02:26:51,959 –> 02:26:55,680
the Sunday massacre at gary Yawey area in Jos while

2195
02:26:55,760 –> 02:26:58,040
speaking with the locals at the scene of the crime,

2196
02:26:58,920 –> 02:27:02,440
while Reverend A Zekiel Dacamo called on President Donald Trump

2197
02:27:02,520 –> 02:27:05,639
of the United States US to send a small unit

2198
02:27:05,680 –> 02:27:09,200
of U S soldiers alongside US drones to Plato State,

2199
02:27:09,360 –> 02:27:11,719
else the people in the state would be wiped out

2200
02:27:11,799 –> 02:27:16,280
by the Islami terrorists. Reacting to soldiers giving the terrorists

2201
02:27:16,360 –> 02:27:21,719
cover to estate, Captain Chenonso Polycarpote, the Media Information Officer

2202
02:27:21,799 –> 02:27:25,520
of Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace, in a rebuttal

2203
02:27:25,600 –> 02:27:29,719
on Tuesday, stated in quotes that the attention of Headquarters

2204
02:27:29,879 –> 02:27:33,360
Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace has been drawn to

2205
02:27:33,440 –> 02:27:36,159
a false comment by one of the youth leaders of

2206
02:27:36,239 –> 02:27:41,760
Angwin Rocouba community circulating on various social media platforms alleging

2207
02:27:41,799 –> 02:27:45,040
the troops provided cover for the perpetrators of palm Sunday

2208
02:27:45,159 –> 02:27:48,879
unprovoked attack at Angwin Rocouba community in Jos North Local

2209
02:27:48,959 –> 02:27:53,319
Government area of Plato State. Ordinarily, the reply to the

2210
02:27:53,360 –> 02:27:56,479
comment made by the youth leader would not have been necessary,

2211
02:27:57,000 –> 02:27:59,760
especially in this moment of grief, but for the purpose

2212
02:27:59,799 –> 02:28:02,879
of clarity in the benefit of well meaning Nigerians, it

2213
02:28:03,040 –> 02:28:06,200
is expedient to state unequivocally that at no point did

2214
02:28:06,360 –> 02:28:09,680
troops provide any form of cover for the terrorists elements

2215
02:28:09,719 –> 02:28:12,760
who carried out the unfortunate attack that claimed the lives

2216
02:28:12,799 –> 02:28:17,600
of innocent citizens. Rather, troops, on receiving a distress call

2217
02:28:17,719 –> 02:28:21,399
on the unfortunate incident, swiftly mobilized to the scene, which

2218
02:28:21,520 –> 02:28:23,879
was far away from where they were deployed, and observed

2219
02:28:23,920 –> 02:28:28,040
that the attackers had fled. Troops acted professionally to revert

2220
02:28:28,159 –> 02:28:31,040
what could have spiral to endless bloodshed and pursued the

2221
02:28:31,120 –> 02:28:34,239
fleeing criminals, as can be attested too by so many

2222
02:28:34,319 –> 02:28:37,840
survivors who were at the scene of the attack. Specifically,

2223
02:28:38,239 –> 02:28:41,000
four gun trucks mounted by troops were dispatched to the

2224
02:28:41,079 –> 02:28:44,600
incidents seen and they acted professionally on arrival, as confirmed

2225
02:28:44,680 –> 02:28:48,200
by other security agencies as well as eye witnesses at

2226
02:28:48,239 –> 02:28:52,440
the scene of the attack. Nonetheless, the allegation was promptly

2227
02:28:52,520 –> 02:28:56,360
investigated and confirmed to be false. The comment by the

2228
02:28:56,440 –> 02:29:01,040
youth leader is false, misleading and unfortunate. Cable of demoralizing

2229
02:29:01,120 –> 02:29:04,840
troops and causing disaffection between the military and its host community.

2230
02:29:05,639 –> 02:29:09,559
The public is requested to discountenance the comment, remain calm,

2231
02:29:10,040 –> 02:29:13,079
law abiding, and continue to support troops with credible and

2232
02:29:13,200 –> 02:29:18,760
actionable information on terrorists’ activities. Troops, in conjunction with other

2233
02:29:18,840 –> 02:29:23,360
security agencies, have adopted effective strategies to unravel and apprehend

2234
02:29:23,399 –> 02:29:27,399
the perpetrators of the dastardly act. Troops will continue to

2235
02:29:27,520 –> 02:29:31,280
deal decisively with criminals while maintaining peace in every part

2236
02:29:31,360 –> 02:29:35,639
of Plato State. Nigeria Presidency in a statement signed and

2237
02:29:35,760 –> 02:29:39,280
made available by Bao on Anuga, the Special Advisor to

2238
02:29:39,319 –> 02:29:43,959
the President on Information and Strategy, on Tuesday, President Bolatanubu

2239
02:29:44,079 –> 02:29:47,760
has strongly condemned the barbarican coward the attacks by gunmen

2240
02:29:47,879 –> 02:29:53,040
in Anguin Recouba District, Joss, Plato State. He equally condemned

2241
02:29:53,040 –> 02:29:56,639
the attacks in Cahir Village in Kagaco Local Government area

2242
02:29:56,719 –> 02:30:00,399
of Kaduna State, describing the attack on the commit unity

2243
02:30:00,479 –> 02:30:03,040
in Jos and the killing and abduction of wedding guests

2244
02:30:03,120 –> 02:30:06,200
in Kaduna as an affront of all that Nigeria stands for.

2245
02:30:06,760 –> 02:30:10,520
President Tanubu assured Nigerians that the barbaric acts will not

2246
02:30:10,719 –> 02:30:14,280
go unpunished. Anyone who will sneak under the cover of

2247
02:30:14,360 –> 02:30:16,959
the Knight and killed defense as citizens as done in

2248
02:30:17,120 –> 02:30:21,200
Jos and kaher village is a heartless coward. By attacking

2249
02:30:21,319 –> 02:30:24,600
soft targets in Jos, their objective is not only to

2250
02:30:24,719 –> 02:30:27,920
cause harm, but also trigger a spiral of reprisal attacks

2251
02:30:27,959 –> 02:30:29,000
and further blood letting.

2252
02:30:29,360 –> 02:30:31,120
Speaker 4: He said he has.

2253
02:30:31,079 –> 02:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Directed security agencies to intensify all efforts to pursue the

2254
02:30:35,200 –> 02:30:39,159
perpetrators and those spreading misinformation that can inflame tensions and

2255
02:30:39,319 –> 02:30:43,639
further endanger lives. He cautioned some sections of the media

2256
02:30:44,079 –> 02:30:49,239
insinuating the attacks were religiously motivated. President Tanubu reaffirmed that

2257
02:30:49,360 –> 02:30:53,239
security agencies are actively addressing the situation and stress that

2258
02:30:53,319 –> 02:30:57,319
public cooperation is vital to maintaining peace and protecting lives

2259
02:30:57,360 –> 02:31:00,600
and property. He stressed the need for commit unities to

2260
02:31:00,680 –> 02:31:06,360
comply with evacuation, relocation and related advice and processes. He

2261
02:31:06,520 –> 02:31:09,440
hailed the safe return of two of the Kaduna victims.

2262
02:31:09,920 –> 02:31:13,120
I urge our security agencies to be more proactive in

2263
02:31:13,239 –> 02:31:17,639
preventing these attacks by acting on early warning intelligence. All

2264
02:31:17,719 –> 02:31:21,520
the remaining abductees from Cahir Village must be rescued immediately,

2265
02:31:21,920 –> 02:31:26,040
the President said, I commend Governor Caleb Matfwang of Plato

2266
02:31:26,159 –> 02:31:29,280
State for his efforts in containing the situation in Joss

2267
02:31:29,319 –> 02:31:32,920
and Governor Ubersani of Kaduna State for supporting the rescue

2268
02:31:33,000 –> 02:31:36,760
and containment efforts. I assure the people and government of

2269
02:31:36,840 –> 02:31:40,319
the two states of my support. I commiserate with the

2270
02:31:40,440 –> 02:31:43,280
families of those killed and pray for the quick recovery

2271
02:31:43,360 –> 02:31:47,719
of the injured. Our government is currently acquiring more sophisticated

2272
02:31:47,760 –> 02:31:51,479
equipment to enable our security agencies to track and smash

2273
02:31:51,600 –> 02:31:57,239
criminals in real time wherever they are. Meanwhile, Vanguard newspaper

2274
02:31:57,319 –> 02:32:01,719
reported on Tuesday that the United STIs State’s Congressmen Riley

2275
02:32:01,799 –> 02:32:06,200
Moore warned yesterday that continued attacks on Christians in Nigeria

2276
02:32:06,280 –> 02:32:10,440
could strain diplomatic relations with the US, following reports of

2277
02:32:10,479 –> 02:32:14,440
a deadly palm Sunday killings in Jos Plato State and

2278
02:32:14,600 –> 02:32:18,760
Kaduna State. Recall that no fewer than forty persons were

2279
02:32:18,840 –> 02:32:22,040
killed by gunmens suspected to be terrorists on Sunday night

2280
02:32:22,120 –> 02:32:25,719
at Anger Racuba community in Jos North. Local Government area

2281
02:32:25,799 –> 02:32:29,440
of Plato’s State and Cahir Village in Kagako local Government

2282
02:32:29,559 –> 02:32:33,280
area of Kaduna State. While twenty seven were killed at

2283
02:32:33,360 –> 02:32:37,319
Rakuba community in Plata, thirteen wedding guests were mowed down

2284
02:32:37,440 –> 02:32:41,479
by the attackers in Kaduna. The police in Plato, however,

2285
02:32:42,000 –> 02:32:45,079
said only fourteen persons were killed in the attack that

2286
02:32:45,200 –> 02:32:49,159
marred Palm Sunday in the community. Reacting to the killings,

2287
02:32:49,200 –> 02:32:52,319
in a post on x Yesterday, More condemned the reported

2288
02:32:52,440 –> 02:32:56,079
killing of Christians in Angu and Racuba, describing the incident

2289
02:32:56,159 –> 02:32:59,399
as part of a troubling pattern of violence targeting worshippers

2290
02:32:59,479 –> 02:33:03,879
during religeous observances. The congressman, who was part of a

2291
02:33:04,040 –> 02:33:08,840
United States fact finding delegation on alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria,

2292
02:33:09,280 –> 02:33:13,040
added that such attacks had become frequent during Christian Holy Days,

2293
02:33:13,959 –> 02:33:18,639
urging Nigerian authorities to take decisive action to prevent further bloodshed.

2294
02:33:19,040 –> 02:33:22,719
This Palm Sunday. Reports from Nigeria indicate that at least

2295
02:33:22,799 –> 02:33:26,600
ten Christians were martyred in the city of Jos. Radical

2296
02:33:26,719 –> 02:33:30,399
Islamic terrorists opened fire on the Christians before hacking them

2297
02:33:30,479 –> 02:33:34,840
to pieces with machetes. This is signing and unacceptable, but

2298
02:33:35,000 –> 02:33:38,719
it’s not surprising. This tragedy follows a pattern of radical

2299
02:33:38,840 –> 02:33:44,319
Islamic terrorists massacring Christians on Holy days. In fact, terrorists

2300
02:33:44,360 –> 02:33:47,879
have attacked Christians in Nigeria on every single Holy Day

2301
02:33:48,000 –> 02:33:51,760
in recent memory, except for last Christmas, when President Trump

2302
02:33:51,959 –> 02:33:55,879
sent twelve Tomahawk cruise missiles to stop them. He added

2303
02:33:56,719 –> 02:33:59,959
more called on the federal government led by President Bola

2304
02:34:00,280 –> 02:34:04,959
Nubu to urgently strengthen security measures ahead of upcoming religious events.

2305
02:34:05,719 –> 02:34:08,840
Abuja knows this pattern and they must massively ramp up

2306
02:34:08,920 –> 02:34:12,479
security for the Tradeuum and Easter. If they don’t take

2307
02:34:12,559 –> 02:34:15,840
this threat seriously and mobilized to defend our brothers and

2308
02:34:15,959 –> 02:34:18,920
sisters in Christ, blood of these martyrs will be on

2309
02:34:19,000 –> 02:34:22,719
their hands and there will be significant consequences for Nigeria’s

2310
02:34:22,760 –> 02:34:27,879
relationship with the United States, he warned. Meanwhile, the attackers

2311
02:34:27,920 –> 02:34:31,000
of the Plateau community, said to be in large numbers,

2312
02:34:31,399 –> 02:34:35,159
stormed the densely populated community at about seven thirty pm

2313
02:34:35,280 –> 02:34:38,600
on Palm Sunday and opened a sporadic fire on residents,

2314
02:34:38,959 –> 02:34:43,360
throwing the area into panic. Punch newspaper also reported that

2315
02:34:43,840 –> 02:34:47,319
at least Thirteen persons have been killed and several others

2316
02:34:47,360 –> 02:34:51,479
abducted after suspected bandits attacked a wedding ceremony in Kahir Village,

2317
02:34:51,760 –> 02:34:56,600
Kagako Local Government area of Kaduna State. The incident, which

2318
02:34:56,680 –> 02:34:59,920
occurred late Sunday night at about eleven forty seven pm,

2319
02:35:00,559 –> 02:35:04,559
has triggered fresh fears over rising insecurity in rural communities

2320
02:35:04,639 –> 02:35:08,760
across the state. Eyewitnesses said the gunmen, who arrived in

2321
02:35:08,920 –> 02:35:12,520
large numbers and were armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the

2322
02:35:12,559 –> 02:35:16,959
wedding venue and opened fire indiscriminately on guests. A resident

2323
02:35:17,040 –> 02:35:20,639
of the area, Chehu Bala, said the incident planted the

2324
02:35:20,719 –> 02:35:25,120
community into chaos as guests campered for safety. They came

2325
02:35:25,200 –> 02:35:29,280
in large numbers and started shooting sporadically. People were running

2326
02:35:29,319 –> 02:35:33,440
in different directions. Many were hit by bullets, Bala said.

2327
02:35:33,840 –> 02:35:37,319
He added that several victims sustained gunshot injuries and were

2328
02:35:37,399 –> 02:35:40,559
rushed to the General hospital in Kagago, while those in

2329
02:35:40,639 –> 02:35:44,319
critical condition were referred to facilities in Kaduna for advanced

2330
02:35:44,360 –> 02:35:48,360
medical attention. Bala further noted that the exact number of

2331
02:35:48,399 –> 02:35:51,719
abducted persons could not be immediately ascertained due to the

2332
02:35:51,799 –> 02:35:56,319
confusion that trailed the attack. A community leader who spoke

2333
02:35:56,399 –> 02:36:00,159
on condition of alanimity, said the assailants operated for nearly

2334
02:36:00,239 –> 02:36:04,719
one hour without any resistance from security forces. They attacked

2335
02:36:04,760 –> 02:36:08,159
the wedding and later moved around the village, looting shots

2336
02:36:08,200 –> 02:36:12,159
and carting away food items, provisions, and even medical supplies,

2337
02:36:12,479 –> 02:36:16,639
the source said. According to him, many residents fled into

2338
02:36:16,719 –> 02:36:20,520
nearby bushes as the sound of gunshots echoed throughout the community.

2339
02:36:21,319 –> 02:36:24,040
It was gathered that the victims have since been buried,

2340
02:36:24,440 –> 02:36:27,559
while efforts to establish contact with the abductors have not

2341
02:36:27,680 –> 02:36:31,079
yielded results. He gave the names of some of those

2342
02:36:31,200 –> 02:36:36,559

how can this person come here and speak? How can

2454
02:43:35,239 –> 02:43:38,000
this person be allowed into Nigeria? Can I tell you

2459
02:43:49,719 –> 02:43:50,680
Speaker 4: But the Lord does not.

2460
02:43:50,840 –> 02:43:52,639
Speaker 15: Only reserve justice for heaven.

2461
02:43:53,799 –> 02:43:56,520
Speaker 7: Justice is not only reserved for when Jesus comes back. Yes,

2462
02:43:57,360 –> 02:44:00,879
justice has called Christians to establish justice on this earth.

2463
02:44:01,079 –> 02:44:05,280
Speaker 10: Jump is here and now. Yeah, not in five years,

Speaker 7: Yes, if there is no killing, if there is no injustice,

2471
02:44:22,639 –> 02:44:25,959
I wouldn’t be speaking now. It pains me and it’s

2472
02:44:26,000 –> 02:44:30,239
shameful that I even have to speak, and they want

2473
02:44:30,319 –> 02:44:31,120
me to be silent.

2474
02:44:31,840 –> 02:44:32,760
Speaker 10: They want me to not.
