00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: One of the most talked about Islamic creatures in Nigeria

2
00:00:03,319 –> 00:00:07,400
who have had photographs with people suspected to be terrorists

3
00:00:07,480 –> 00:00:11,160
terrorizing villages and communities in the northern part of Nigeria.

4
00:00:11,279 –> 00:00:14,839
When he visited the suspected terrorists in their camps inside

5
00:00:14,880 –> 00:00:17,480
forests on the ground of having peace talk with the

6
00:00:17,600 –> 00:00:21,359
armed groups, Shake Armoured Abu bak Armor moved. Gumi has

7
00:00:21,440 –> 00:00:25,120
described as a terrorist act the United States U S

8
00:00:25,160 –> 00:00:28,960
military action ordered by President Donald Trump that attacked and

9
00:00:29,120 –> 00:00:32,880
killed yet to be ascertained total numbers of ISIS affiliated

10
00:00:32,960 –> 00:00:37,840
Laccuoa terrorists in Socoto State on Christmas Day. This the

11
00:00:37,920 –> 00:00:41,000
Islamic cleric called on the people in the villages affected

12
00:00:41,039 –> 00:00:44,240
by the U S missiles strikes on Thursday night to

13
00:00:44,320 –> 00:00:48,799
post on social media platforms evidences of damages caused by

14
00:00:48,840 –> 00:00:52,240
the U S military action. According to Gumi, it is

15
00:00:52,280 –> 00:00:55,000
in line with the teachers of Islam for terrorists to

16
00:00:55,039 –> 00:00:58,119
be killed, but the killing must be done by people

17
00:00:58,159 –> 00:01:01,280
with the clean and holy hands and not by another

18
00:01:01,359 –> 00:01:04,519
terrorist whose hands sustained with the blood of hundreds of

19
00:01:04,560 –> 00:01:09,159
thousands of innocent children, women and men. Just recently stressing

20
00:01:09,200 –> 00:01:12,359
that the U S involvement in the fight against terrorism

21
00:01:12,439 –> 00:01:15,599
in Nigeria will make the country becomes an enemy of

22
00:01:15,640 –> 00:01:19,159
its neighbors, a theater of war because the involvement will

23
00:01:19,200 –> 00:01:22,319
attract the real anti u S forces into the West

24
00:01:22,319 –> 00:01:25,239
Africa country. And in a manner that looked like mockery,

25
00:01:25,599 –> 00:01:28,680
shake Gumi said, dropping a few bombs here and there

26
00:01:28,680 –> 00:01:32,319
cannot tackle the menace of terror. They need serious military

27
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:35,719
on the ground, which, if we are serious, we have

28
00:01:35,840 –> 00:01:39,480
enough men to do that. In contrary to Gumi’s assertions,

29
00:01:39,519 –> 00:01:42,599
the Nigeria government, through the Office of the Minister of

30
00:01:42,680 –> 00:01:46,480
Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuger, said it was President Bola Ahmed

31
00:01:46,560 –> 00:01:49,920
to Enubu on Thursday that gave the US the approval

32
00:01:49,959 –> 00:01:52,879
to carry out the strikes against the terrorists. But the

33
00:01:52,920 –> 00:01:57,280
government’s statement apparently did not go down well with Omiyele Saware,

34
00:01:57,760 –> 00:02:00,400
a human rights activist and the founder of the Sahara

35
00:02:00,519 –> 00:02:04,120
Reporter’s News media, who insisted that it is evident that

36
00:02:04,159 –> 00:02:07,599
the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or

37
00:02:07,680 –> 00:02:11,840
informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under asswar

38
00:02:11,960 –> 00:02:15,159
ju Bolah Ahmed Tenubu, and in a swift reaction, to

39
00:02:15,199 –> 00:02:20,280
Omiele Sware. One of the recently nominated and confirmed ambassador designates,

40
00:02:20,520 –> 00:02:23,479
Reno Omakri, said, I am afraid I will have to

41
00:02:23,520 –> 00:02:27,439
disagree with mister Omile Soare and others like him who

42
00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:31,240
were misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent actions against

43
00:02:31,319 –> 00:02:35,080
terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty. Such views are

44
00:02:35,080 –> 00:02:38,599
indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations. It

45
00:02:38,719 –> 00:02:41,439
is also wrong for mister Sware to call our government

46
00:02:41,479 –> 00:02:45,479
and military week Shaikh Armored Abu back arm A mood Gumi,

47
00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:49,120
in a statement titled the Symbolism of the U S Stripe,

48
00:02:49,680 –> 00:02:52,879
he shared on his verified Facebook account when he reshared

49
00:02:52,879 –> 00:02:56,319
the news link of a post published by CNN on Friday,

50
00:02:56,759 –> 00:03:02,199
said annihilating terrorists is an Islamic obligation. The prophet Peace

51
00:03:02,280 –> 00:03:05,919
be upon him wished he annihilated them. He said, should

52
00:03:05,960 –> 00:03:08,240
I live till they appear, I would kill them as

53
00:03:08,240 –> 00:03:12,400
the killing of the nation of Ad al Bukhari and Muslim.

54
00:03:12,560 –> 00:03:15,280
This said, it should only be carried out by clean

55
00:03:15,759 –> 00:03:19,280
holy hands, not by another terrorist whose hands are stained

56
00:03:19,319 –> 00:03:22,080
with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent children,

57
00:03:22,360 –> 00:03:26,800
women and men. Just recently, this is the mistate Nigeria

58
00:03:26,919 –> 00:03:31,400
has made terrorists. Don’t fight terrorists in While many Nigerians

59
00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:35,120
were asleep after the twenty twenty five Christmas celebration, the

60
00:03:35,280 –> 00:03:39,120
United States U S warship moved close and took position

61
00:03:39,199 –> 00:03:42,840
in the Territorial Africa Waters then launched missiles at the

62
00:03:42,879 –> 00:03:46,759
dead of the night on Thursday into areas predominantly dominated

63
00:03:46,840 –> 00:03:50,439
by the Lacquero were terrorists in the nigeria north western

64
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:54,199
state of Sokoto, with President Donald Trump saying many of

65
00:03:54,240 –> 00:03:57,879
the terrorists were killed, but the Islamic State of Arakan,

66
00:03:57,960 –> 00:04:01,039
Syria ISIS in the West Africa Province, is yet to

67
00:04:01,120 –> 00:04:03,960
issue a statement over the air strikes on the Lacquarrowa

68
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:07,400
camps in Sokoto. The armed group that is affiliated with

69
00:04:07,479 –> 00:04:11,919
the Islamic State Sahil Province operating in Mali, Nijay and

70
00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:15,960
the Nigeria Kebi and Sokato States, whose activities are mostly

71
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:21,160
observed in five local government areas of Tangasa, Gudu, Alala,

72
00:04:21,319 –> 00:04:26,120
Binji and Salame in Sokato State. This some residents at

73
00:04:26,160 –> 00:04:29,759
Jabo Village in the Tambul Local government area of Sokato

74
00:04:29,879 –> 00:04:34,079
State posted videos online to indicate that some components used

75
00:04:34,079 –> 00:04:36,759
in making the missiles fell on a farmland in the

76
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:39,839
Jabo village. The videos showed a lot of the villages,

77
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:44,319
mostly younger ones, holding phones with touch light on recording

78
00:04:44,360 –> 00:04:46,519
the scene of the burning parts of one of the

79
00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:49,879
missiles in the farmland, while some took a closer camera

80
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:54,040
angle shot of some of the components that have manufacturing inscriptions,

81
00:04:54,120 –> 00:04:57,920
dates and brand labels. The U s Africa Command, in

82
00:04:57,959 –> 00:05:01,519
a statement a few hours ago, said that the direction

83
00:05:01,639 –> 00:05:04,519
of the President of the United States and the Secretary

84
00:05:04,519 –> 00:05:08,560
of War, and in co ordination with Nigerian authorities, US

85
00:05:08,680 –> 00:05:12,920
Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on

86
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:18,199
December twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, in Socoto State. President

87
00:05:18,240 –> 00:05:21,639
Donald Trump, while announcing the military action through his Truth

88
00:05:21,759 –> 00:05:26,399
social media platform on Thursday night, said to night, at

89
00:05:26,439 –> 00:05:30,000
my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched

90
00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:33,639
a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorists scam in

91
00:05:33,720 –> 00:05:38,360
Northwest Nigeria who have been targeting and viciously killing primarily

92
00:05:38,600 –> 00:05:42,240
innocent Christians at levels not seen for many years and

93
00:05:42,360 –> 00:05:46,759
even centuries. I have previously warned these terrorists that if

94
00:05:46,759 –> 00:05:50,040
they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would

95
00:05:50,040 –> 00:05:53,319
be hell to pay, and to night there was. The

96
00:05:53,399 –> 00:05:57,600
Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes as only the

97
00:05:57,720 –> 00:06:01,959
United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our

98
00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:06,199
country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to prosper. May

99
00:06:06,279 –> 00:06:10,079
God bless our military and Merry Christmas to all, including

100
00:06:10,079 –> 00:06:12,680
the dead terrorists, of which there will be many more

101
00:06:12,720 –> 00:06:17,120
if their slaughter of Christians continues. Peter Hegsath, the U

102
00:06:17,199 –> 00:06:21,120
S Secretary of War, reiterated the U S president announcement

103
00:06:21,199 –> 00:06:24,600
in a tweet, saying the President was clear last month

104
00:06:24,920 –> 00:06:29,120
the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere must end.

105
00:06:29,879 –> 00:06:33,399
The Department of War is always ready, so isis found

106
00:06:33,439 –> 00:06:37,560
out to night on Christmas. More to come. Grateful for

107
00:06:37,680 –> 00:06:42,600
Nigerian government support and co operation. Merry Christmas. On November

108
00:06:42,639 –> 00:06:47,199
twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, Peter Hesath had said, yes, sir,

109
00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:52,360
the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria and anywhere must

110
00:06:52,439 –> 00:06:56,560
end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action

111
00:06:57,120 –> 00:07:00,800
either the Nigerian government protects Christians. In an effort to

112
00:07:00,920 –> 00:07:04,560
challenge and prove wrong the statement of Harrison Gwamershue, a

113
00:07:04,600 –> 00:07:09,439
well known civilian volunteer assisting Nigeria security operatives with intelligence

114
00:07:09,519 –> 00:07:11,920
information that has led to the arrest and killing of

115
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:17,040
suspected kidnappers in gun battle that he Harrison Guamashue was

116
00:07:17,079 –> 00:07:20,480
never arrested or charged to court by the Nigeria Police

117
00:07:20,639 –> 00:07:24,560
Force over the five point four million nyers he allegedly

118
00:07:24,680 –> 00:07:28,759
removed from the twenty million nyrus ransom he was contracted

119
00:07:28,800 –> 00:07:32,120
to handover to the kidnappers for the release and rescue

120
00:07:32,240 –> 00:07:35,600
of the married couple kidnapped in Avilli community in the

121
00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:39,639
Etxico West Local government area of Edo State. In late

122
00:07:39,759 –> 00:07:44,720
November twenty twenty five, a leading Nigeria social media influencer

123
00:07:44,839 –> 00:07:50,480
and human rights activist, Martin’s Vincent aka Veridarkman, on Tuesday night,

124
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:53,759
took to his social media pages and presented an apparent

125
00:07:53,879 –> 00:07:58,279
questionable court document, probably with malicious intent to manipulate and

126
00:07:58,319 –> 00:08:01,759
mislead unsuspecting members of the public inader to malign the

127
00:08:01,839 –> 00:08:06,079
character of Harrison Guamaschute. This In the court document presented

128
00:08:06,079 –> 00:08:09,680
by Veri Dugman, the alleged charge serial numbers were covered

129
00:08:09,680 –> 00:08:12,399
with the colored inc no date of court sitting was

130
00:08:12,439 –> 00:08:15,639
written on the court document. The document indicated that the

131
00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:18,879
alleged three count charges were drafted and signed on the

132
00:08:18,920 –> 00:08:22,839
eighteenth of December twenty twenty five, a day before Harrison

133
00:08:22,879 –> 00:08:26,040
Guamashue was asked to go home from the police custody

134
00:08:26,120 –> 00:08:30,639
on December nineteenth, twenty twenty five, while awaiting the advice

135
00:08:30,720 –> 00:08:34,200
of the Department of Public Prosecutor DPP on the matter,

136
00:08:34,559 –> 00:08:37,759
and the apparent fraudulent court document did not show the

137
00:08:37,759 –> 00:08:41,279
officer or the person responsible for the court count charges

138
00:08:41,679 –> 00:08:45,120
and Veridukman, apparently in a manipulative manner, did not show

139
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:47,919
the full signature and any name of the officer who

140
00:08:47,960 –> 00:08:52,480
authored the alleged court charges. Veridargmann claimed in the video

141
00:08:52,559 –> 00:08:56,399
that the prosecutor wanted Harrison Guamaschute jailed for six months,

142
00:08:56,440 –> 00:09:00,600
but the judge he identified as Justice Ettinosa Adekoma, allegedly

143
00:09:00,639 –> 00:09:04,120
on her personal consideration because of the Christman and New

144
00:09:04,200 –> 00:09:08,480
Year’s season and public intervention, decided to grant Harrison Guamashue bail.

145
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:12,600
Harrison Guamashu says he was never arrested by the police

146
00:09:12,679 –> 00:09:15,759
or charged to court as speculated in the public spaces

147
00:09:15,799 –> 00:09:19,200
over the five point four million niras he allegedly removed

148
00:09:19,200 –> 00:09:22,000
out of the twenty million niras ransom he was given

149
00:09:22,039 –> 00:09:25,240
to handover to kidnappers and as well apparently used the

150
00:09:25,320 –> 00:09:28,080
money as a bait to stage sting operation for the

151
00:09:28,120 –> 00:09:31,600
release and rescue of the husband and wife simply identified

152
00:09:31,600 –> 00:09:35,200
as mister and missus Ibraheen kidnapped in Avilli community in

153
00:09:35,240 –> 00:09:39,120
the Exico West Local government area of Edo State, which

154
00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:43,159
generated public reactions after the kidnappers set free the wife

155
00:09:43,159 –> 00:09:45,919
and kept the husband in captivity on the ground that

156
00:09:46,000 –> 00:09:48,720
the money given to them was not complete, and some

157
00:09:48,799 –> 00:09:52,759
persons who have access to the apparent sensitive security information

158
00:09:52,960 –> 00:09:56,559
went public to create an impression as if Harrison Guamoshue

159
00:09:56,639 –> 00:09:59,960
stole part of the ransom money. Even when Harrison Grea

160
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:02,360
Bamnashu explained to them that it is part of his

161
00:10:02,480 –> 00:10:06,120
operational procedures to remove some cash from the ransom money,

162
00:10:06,480 –> 00:10:10,200
his explanation apparently went on deaf ears and people who

163
00:10:10,240 –> 00:10:13,480
may be best described as mischief makers took advantage of

164
00:10:13,519 –> 00:10:17,039
the issue to call Harrison Guamnoshue names and reopen his

165
00:10:17,159 –> 00:10:20,960
alleged past deeds in a prejudiced manner to cast dispersions

166
00:10:21,000 –> 00:10:24,080
on him, even when they knew that Harrison Guamnashu has

167
00:10:24,120 –> 00:10:28,360
a long history with video evidences of assisting security operatives

168
00:10:28,360 –> 00:10:32,120
to rescue kidnapped victims. Harrison Guamnashu says he was never

169
00:10:32,240 –> 00:10:35,279
arrested by the police or charged to court as speculated

170
00:10:35,360 –> 00:10:38,360
in the public spaces over the five point four million

171
00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:41,559
lyrus he allegedly removed out of the twenty million virus

172
00:10:41,679 –> 00:10:44,600
ransom he was given to handover to kidnappers and as

173
00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:47,440
well apparently used the money as a bake to stage

174
00:10:47,440 –> 00:10:50,559
sting operation for the release and rescue of the husband

175
00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:54,519
and wife simply identified as mister and missus Ibraheim, kidnapped

176
00:10:54,519 –> 00:10:58,279
in Avilei community in the Exico West Local government area

177
00:10:58,360 –> 00:11:02,679
of Edo State, which generated public reactions after the kidnappers

178
00:11:02,679 –> 00:11:05,679
set free the wife and kept the husband in captivity

179
00:11:05,759 –> 00:11:07,799
on the ground that the money given to them was

180
00:11:07,840 –> 00:11:11,039
not complete, and some persons who have access to the

181
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:15,480
apparent sensitive security information went public to create an impression

182
00:11:15,519 –> 00:11:19,039
as if Harrison Gwamnoshu stole part of the ransom money,

183
00:11:19,440 –> 00:11:22,360
even when Harrison Gwamnashue explained to them that it is

184
00:11:22,480 –> 00:11:26,000
part of his operational procedures to remove some cash from

185
00:11:26,039 –> 00:11:29,720
the ransom money. His explanation apparently went on deaf ears

186
00:11:30,159 –> 00:11:32,919
and people who may be best described as mischief makers

187
00:11:32,960 –> 00:11:36,519
took advantage of the issue to call Harrison Guamashu names

188
00:11:36,559 –> 00:11:40,200
and reopen his alleged past deeds in a prejudiced manner

189
00:11:40,240 –> 00:11:43,120
to cast aspersions on him, even when they knew that

190
00:11:43,159 –> 00:11:47,000
Harrison Gwamnashu has a long history with video evidences of

191
00:11:47,080 –> 00:11:51,240
assisting security operatives to rescue kidnapped victims and in some

192
00:11:51,279 –> 00:11:54,440
cases the total money paid as ransom were recovered and

193
00:11:54,480 –> 00:11:58,039
returned to the victim’s families and the sting operation usually

194
00:11:58,120 –> 00:12:01,039
leads to the killing and arrest of the societ expected kidnappers.

195
00:12:01,440 –> 00:12:05,200
This according to Harrison Guamoshow in a statement he issued

196
00:12:05,279 –> 00:12:09,200
through his verified Facebook accounts some hours ago, he was

197
00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:12,639
the one who personally submitted himself voluntarily to the Edo

198
00:12:12,720 –> 00:12:16,080
State Command of the Nigeria Police forced to enable the

199
00:12:16,120 –> 00:12:19,399
police investigate his action, that he never had the intention

200
00:12:19,559 –> 00:12:22,200
of stealing the money and his action of removing some

201
00:12:22,360 –> 00:12:26,240
money from the ransom was part of his usual operational procedures,

202
00:12:26,480 –> 00:12:29,279
adding that the police never charged him to court and

203
00:12:29,320 –> 00:12:32,360
while in self detention with the police. He became the

204
00:12:32,399 –> 00:12:35,879
cell president and he facilitated the release of four persons

205
00:12:35,879 –> 00:12:39,279
who were probably arrested and detained by the police unjustly

206
00:12:39,360 –> 00:12:42,440
for a crime the beneficiaries may know nothing about. And

207
00:12:42,519 –> 00:12:46,320
the video posted online by Harrison Guamashu on Monday night

208
00:12:46,759 –> 00:12:49,200
showed he arrived home to the waiting hands of his

209
00:12:49,279 –> 00:12:52,679
elderly mother, who was seen in the video singing, dancing

210
00:12:52,720 –> 00:12:56,120
with other family members, friends and well wishes and screaming

211
00:12:56,159 –> 00:12:59,159
loud with joy while using one of her hands to

212
00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:02,960
caress the chess of her son, Harrison Gwamneshu, during which

213
00:13:02,960 –> 00:13:05,679
she said a lot of prayers in her local dialect.

214
00:13:06,519 –> 00:13:10,600
In his words, Harrison Gwamnishu said, I did not return

215
00:13:10,639 –> 00:13:14,840
alone during my time in custody. I became the cell

216
00:13:14,919 –> 00:13:19,440
Precido O b J and later handed over that responsibility

217
00:13:19,480 –> 00:13:22,440
to a young man, Honor Abba, who had also been

218
00:13:22,519 –> 00:13:26,960
unjustly arrested and detained. While there, I quietly supported the

219
00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:30,519
release of four individuals who were being held without cause,

220
00:13:30,840 –> 00:13:33,720
and to day, Honor Abber from Benaway State has also

221
00:13:33,799 –> 00:13:38,200
regained his freedom. My sincere appreciation goes to my Edo

222
00:13:38,360 –> 00:13:42,080
human rights team led by John Odeon Kadiri, for their

223
00:13:42,120 –> 00:13:46,559
invaluable support in making this possible. Dear family, I am

224
00:13:46,639 –> 00:13:49,120
pleased to inform you all that I have been released

225
00:13:49,120 –> 00:13:53,120
from custody. Words cannot express how grateful I am for

226
00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:56,360
your support, especially considering that many of you had not

227
00:13:56,480 –> 00:14:00,480
yet heard my own side of what truly happened. Barely

228
00:14:00,559 –> 00:14:04,240
one month after terrorists invaded the Christian school on November

229
00:14:04,279 –> 00:14:07,679
twenty first, twenty twenty five and kidnapped over two hundred

230
00:14:07,879 –> 00:14:11,440
thirty school children at the Saint Mary Catholic Church School

231
00:14:11,480 –> 00:14:15,360
in Papri Town in Niger State, the Nigeria government, under

232
00:14:15,399 –> 00:14:18,960
the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu, has announced the

233
00:14:19,000 –> 00:14:22,320
complete release of all the abducted church school children by

234
00:14:22,360 –> 00:14:26,960
the terrorists. According to the presidential spokesperson, BeO on Anuga,

235
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:30,840
the terrorists released the kids based on intelligent driven operations,

236
00:14:31,120 –> 00:14:34,399
but some Nigerians who took to the comments sections of

237
00:14:34,440 –> 00:14:39,080
the presidential spokesperson on social media said the government should

238
00:14:39,120 –> 00:14:41,480
come out clean and tell the public the truth that

239
00:14:41,559 –> 00:14:44,440
it paid money as ransom to the terrorists to secure

240
00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:48,120
the freedom of the kids, stressing that terrorists don’t release

241
00:14:48,200 –> 00:14:53,399
kidnapped victims for free. BeO on Anuga, the presidential spokesperson,

242
00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:56,279
had said in a statement he issued and made available

243
00:14:56,360 –> 00:15:00,080
yesterday that the remaining one hundred thirty school children and

244
00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:04,080
abducted by terrorists at Saint Mary’s Catholic School in Papri,

245
00:15:04,480 –> 00:15:08,399
Niger State on November twenty first, have now been released.

246
00:15:09,159 –> 00:15:11,799
They are expected to arrive in Minna on Monday and

247
00:15:11,919 –> 00:15:16,080
rejoin their parents for the Christmas celebration. One hundred were

248
00:15:16,080 –> 00:15:19,559
released earlier by the terrorists, taking the total of freed

249
00:15:19,639 –> 00:15:23,039
students to two hundred and thirty. The freedom of the

250
00:15:23,080 –> 00:15:28,240
school children followed a military intelligence driven operation. Some social

251
00:15:28,279 –> 00:15:31,720
media users who are apparently Nigerians, took to the comments

252
00:15:31,720 –> 00:15:35,720
sections of the presidential spokesperson post both on Facebook and

253
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:40,159
ex social media platforms and expressed themselves over the new developments,

254
00:15:40,559 –> 00:15:45,879
some of which are presented verbatim below. Relwan Ibrahem said, released,

255
00:15:45,919 –> 00:15:50,240
not rescued. Kidnappers, don’t release captives for free. In all,

256
00:15:50,360 –> 00:15:54,320
thank God for their lives. Femiade Boye said, so what

257
00:15:54,480 –> 00:15:58,039
happened to their abductors? Were they engaged in the way

258
00:15:58,080 –> 00:16:01,720
they understand or they were relief east After monetary negotiation.

259
00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:05,720
We thank God for the release of these children. At

260
00:16:05,720 –> 00:16:09,759
the same time, what happened to the abductors? Akim badet

261
00:16:09,759 –> 00:16:15,559
Agenbiade said, military intelligence driven operation as how na how

262
00:16:15,600 –> 00:16:19,679
many bandits did they arrest? Bankie Alash said a wheeler

263
00:16:19,720 –> 00:16:22,720
dealer government of no direction will never say the truth.

264
00:16:23,120 –> 00:16:25,879
Only God knows how much ransom was paid from the

265
00:16:25,960 –> 00:16:30,080
hard earned resources or borrowed funds of this country. No

266
00:16:30,240 –> 00:16:34,840
amount of propaganda or damage control. Nigerian’s becomes wiser every

267
00:16:34,919 –> 00:16:36,960
day with all your antics and they are ready for

268
00:16:37,039 –> 00:16:41,639
you come twenty twenty seven. Roscoe Oko said, Sir, with

269
00:16:41,759 –> 00:16:45,320
all due respect, do the terrorists release them unconditionally or

270
00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:50,320
your government paid ransom? Jo k Megamixer stated the Presidency

271
00:16:50,399 –> 00:16:55,399
celebrates her military intelligence driven operation for the Papri release,

272
00:16:55,799 –> 00:16:58,919
yet says nothing about the fate of the abductors. In

273
00:16:59,000 –> 00:17:02,840
a functioning secure system, the return of victims is only

274
00:17:02,919 –> 00:17:07,240
half the job. Without arrests or neutralized threats. This is

275
00:17:07,279 –> 00:17:09,960
not a rescue. It is a handover that comes at

276
00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:13,359
a cost that wasn’t mentioned. The official account of the

277
00:17:13,400 –> 00:17:17,759
paper release reads like a travel itinery, not a security report.

278
00:17:18,559 –> 00:17:21,920
If this was indeed an intelligence led operation where are

279
00:17:21,920 –> 00:17:26,160
the suspects. Silence on the abductor’s fate suggests a non

280
00:17:26,160 –> 00:17:30,680
combative arrangement that leaves the kidnap industry intact. The increasing

281
00:17:30,759 –> 00:17:33,599
rates of mass shooting leading to mass murder in South

282
00:17:33,640 –> 00:17:37,160
Africa recorded another new figure on Sunday early morning in

283
00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:40,759
the Beckistal town near the southwestern part of Johannesburg in

284
00:17:40,799 –> 00:17:44,400
the Gauteng province, when about twelve masked unknown gunmen invaded

285
00:17:44,440 –> 00:17:48,839
a public drinking, accommodation and relaxation spot known as Tavern,

286
00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:52,000
shooting into the parban shop people as they cite them

287
00:17:52,000 –> 00:17:54,759
on the street while feeing, leading to the killing of

288
00:17:54,880 –> 00:17:59,000
nine persons as confirmed by the local authority, with additional

289
00:17:59,079 –> 00:18:02,880
ten persons staining injuries. This occurred less than three weeks

290
00:18:02,920 –> 00:18:06,680
when gunman stormed an illegal drinking establishment also known as

291
00:18:06,799 –> 00:18:10,799
chabine at a hostel in Sausville, west of Pretoria, wherein

292
00:18:11,160 –> 00:18:14,599
twelve people were killed, including a three year old child,

293
00:18:14,960 –> 00:18:18,119
a twelve year old boy and a sixteen year old girl.

294
00:18:18,440 –> 00:18:21,839
And in twenty twenty four alone, twenty six thousand, two

295
00:18:21,920 –> 00:18:25,640
hundred and thirty two murder cases representing more than seventy

296
00:18:25,720 –> 00:18:29,200
people killed per day in South Africa was reported by

297
00:18:29,279 –> 00:18:34,200
the South African Police Service SAPs and a non governmental organization,

298
00:18:34,559 –> 00:18:38,039
the Democratic Alliance b C, had stated in its report

299
00:18:38,119 –> 00:18:41,000
earlier in the year that between January and March twenty

300
00:18:41,079 –> 00:18:45,000
twenty five, five thousand, seven hundred and twenty seven people

301
00:18:45,079 –> 00:18:49,000
were murdered, representing an average of sixty two people killed

302
00:18:49,039 –> 00:18:53,079
per day. In twenty twenty five first quarter and six thousand,

303
00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:57,680
nine hundred eighty five attempted murders were recorded seventy five

304
00:18:57,759 –> 00:19:01,400
per day. Forty three thousand, seven seven hundred and seventy

305
00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:05,640
six assaults with intent to cause grievous bodily harm were reported,

306
00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:10,279
representing four hundred and seventy five per day. Ten thousand,

307
00:19:10,359 –> 00:19:14,079
six hundred eighty eight people were raped, one hundred and

308
00:19:14,160 –> 00:19:17,880
sixteen per day, four thousand, five hundred and seventy one

309
00:19:18,039 –> 00:19:22,720
kidnappings occurred forty nine per day, eleven thousand, one hundred

310
00:19:22,759 –> 00:19:26,960
and eleven common robberies and thirty five thousand, three hundred

311
00:19:27,039 –> 00:19:31,880
and seventy four commercial crimes were reported, representing five hundred

312
00:19:31,880 –> 00:19:34,119
and four per day, and as at the time of

313
00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:37,559
filing in this report, on Monday, morning. The South Africa

314
00:19:37,599 –> 00:19:41,559
President Cyril Ramathosa is yet to issue statement or announced

315
00:19:41,559 –> 00:19:45,240
policy action over the Sunday recent mass murder in the country,

316
00:19:45,440 –> 00:19:48,480
just as residents who spoke with local media blamed the

317
00:19:48,519 –> 00:19:52,480
attack on illegal miners known by the group name Zamazamas,

318
00:19:52,519 –> 00:19:55,079
and the residents believed the police are in cahoots with

319
00:19:55,160 –> 00:20:00,559
the different gangsters terrorizing communities in South Africa. Residents who

320
00:20:00,559 –> 00:20:03,640
spoke with local news media said that the mass murder

321
00:20:03,640 –> 00:20:07,559
in Beckisteal occurred around one an early morning night on Sunday,

322
00:20:07,599 –> 00:20:10,920
December twenty first, with about twelve gunman in a white

323
00:20:11,039 –> 00:20:14,559
van and silver Sudan opened fire at the Quinnoxalo tavern

324
00:20:14,599 –> 00:20:19,400
in Beckistal, southwest of Johannesburg. A resident who spoke with

325
00:20:19,519 –> 00:20:24,880
Newsroom Africa television said, it is bad, my sister. The

326
00:20:24,960 –> 00:20:27,920
thing is, this has become a norm in this township.

327
00:20:28,680 –> 00:20:32,519
Young kids, tender kids as young as two three years old.

328
00:20:32,839 –> 00:20:36,759
When a gunshot sounds, they don’t flinch. They would ask

329
00:20:36,839 –> 00:20:40,319
you which direction does it come from? They are used

330
00:20:40,319 –> 00:20:44,279
to gunshots. Little kids. Now you can imagine how much

331
00:20:44,319 –> 00:20:48,079
about old people. What happened yesterday is a reflection of

332
00:20:48,519 –> 00:20:51,440
I don’t know how to put it. Maybe let me

333
00:20:51,519 –> 00:20:56,039
put it straight. A reflection of neglect by the police. Criminals.

334
00:20:56,359 –> 00:20:59,680
They do as they please. Here these guns they sound

335
00:20:59,720 –> 00:21:04,799
each process walcome ned, bringin youthinees in a morggitalware
