1
00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Justice Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting

2
00:00:03,520 –> 00:00:06,919
in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the

3
00:00:06,960 –> 00:00:11,400
Inspector General of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to

4
00:00:11,439 –> 00:00:15,599
stop the upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by

5
00:00:15,679 –> 00:00:19,320
Nigerians to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic

6
00:00:19,359 –> 00:00:24,600
Agitation leader Marzi Nandikranu. But according to the organizer of

7
00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:28,760
the protest, Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined to

8
00:00:28,839 –> 00:00:32,200
grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to

9
00:00:32,240 –> 00:00:36,000
stop the planned protest in the open court, the Federal

10
00:00:36,079 –> 00:00:39,880
High Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion in

11
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:43,439
chambers imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa,

12
00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:47,600
National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a

13
00:00:47,719 –> 00:00:51,479
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.

14
00:00:51,759 –> 00:00:55,679
The protest remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The United

15
00:00:55,719 –> 00:01:00,600
States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to

16
00:01:00,640 –> 00:01:03,880
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements

17
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:08,719
in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest

18
00:01:08,799 –> 00:01:12,599
may lead to destructions and violence. Detailed of the court

19
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:16,439
action as captured by Punch newspaper. The Federal High Court

20
00:01:16,439 –> 00:01:20,079
in Abuja has refused the Nigeria Police forces bid to

21
00:01:20,120 –> 00:01:24,439
stop the Free Namdi Canyono protest, allowing it to proceed

22
00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:28,760
as scheduled. On Monday, October twentieth, twenty twenty five, the

23
00:01:28,840 –> 00:01:33,920
Inspector General of Police, KeyOne Eggbetoken, had dispatched police lawyers

24
00:01:33,959 –> 00:01:36,680
to the court to move an ex party motion against

25
00:01:36,719 –> 00:01:40,879
activist and protest organizer Omiyele Saware in a bid to

26
00:01:40,959 –> 00:01:46,040
legally preempt the planned demonstration slated for the Asso Rock Villa. However,

27
00:01:46,640 –> 00:01:50,519
Justice Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja declined to

28
00:01:50,599 –> 00:01:54,120
grant the motion, which would have immediately restrained the protest

29
00:01:54,159 –> 00:01:58,159
from taking place without hearing the opposing side. The judge

30
00:01:58,200 –> 00:02:01,280
instead instructed the police to fort formally serve notice of

31
00:02:01,319 –> 00:02:04,959
their application on Saware and adjourned the case until Tuesday

32
00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:09,639
for a proper contested hearing. Reacting to the judicial decision,

33
00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:14,360
the protest convener Ami Jele Saware affirmed the court’s decision

34
00:02:14,439 –> 00:02:17,039
as a victory for civil liberties and doubled down on

35
00:02:17,120 –> 00:02:20,840
the scheduled protest. In a statement issued on his ex

36
00:02:20,919 –> 00:02:25,680
handle on Friday, following the ruling, Suware said Igo Police

37
00:02:26,000 –> 00:02:30,599
Nigeria Coyode Eggbato Can dispatched police lawyers to sum in

38
00:02:30,639 –> 00:02:33,560
an effort to halt the Free namdican Uno protest scheduled

39
00:02:33,560 –> 00:02:38,639
Faraso Rockvilla on Monday. However, the Judge Justice whom Are

40
00:02:38,680 –> 00:02:41,840
of Federal High Court in Abuja refused to grant the

41
00:02:41,879 –> 00:02:45,599
ex party motion, instead instructing him to serve me notice

42
00:02:45,639 –> 00:02:48,719
and adjourning the case until Tuesday for a proper hearing.

43
00:02:49,479 –> 00:02:54,039
The demonstration, organized under the hashtag Free namdican Uno, is

44
00:02:54,080 –> 00:02:57,319
intended to draw attention to the prolonged detention and legal

45
00:02:57,360 –> 00:03:00,639
fate of Karno. The police action was seen as an

46
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:04,000
attempt to leverage the courts to prevent a potentially sensitive

47
00:03:04,039 –> 00:03:07,960
gathering near the seat of Nigerian power. The adjournment to

48
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:11,599
Tuesday ensures that the planned Monday protest is not currently

49
00:03:11,680 –> 00:03:14,800
constrained by a court order, setting the stage for a

50
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:20,039
potential high profile confrontation between protesters and security agencies around

51
00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:24,840
the presidential villa. Channel’s Television also on Friday reported that

52
00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:28,520
ahead of the Free Nam Decanuno protests slated for Monday,

53
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:32,759
October twentieth in the nation. Whenever controversies surround Rufaya Sani,

54
00:03:33,159 –> 00:03:37,159
the outspoken and fearless broadcaster on a Rise Television, one

55
00:03:37,240 –> 00:03:41,639
recurring argument often resurfaces in public discourse the claim that

56
00:03:41,960 –> 00:03:45,080
Rufaiya Sani is not a journalist. Critics are quick to

57
00:03:45,159 –> 00:03:49,280
emphasize that he lacks a formal academic background in journalism,

58
00:03:49,439 –> 00:03:53,319
having originally trained in animal anatomy. But beyond the semantics

59
00:03:53,319 –> 00:03:57,560
of qualification, a deeper question emerges. What truly defines a

60
00:03:57,639 –> 00:04:01,319
journalist and what are the core functions of journalism in society.

61
00:04:02,039 –> 00:04:05,719
As mass communication teacher, we teach students from the very

62
00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:10,000
first class that the media exists to inform, educate, entertain,

63
00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:15,159
and preserve cultural heritage. Journalists also play the crucial roles

64
00:04:15,199 –> 00:04:19,839
of agenda setting and acting as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable,

65
00:04:19,839 –> 00:04:23,920
and amplifying the voices of the government. The media’s capacity

66
00:04:23,959 –> 00:04:28,680
to shape national conversations is immense. By highlighting specific issues

67
00:04:28,680 –> 00:04:32,639
and giving them prominence, journalists help raise awareness and influence

68
00:04:32,680 –> 00:04:36,759
public perception. It is through such a gender setting functions

69
00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:41,720
that societies engage in dialogue debate and reform, thereby playing

70
00:04:41,759 –> 00:04:46,160
participatory role in the process of governance. When examined through

71
00:04:46,160 –> 00:04:50,000
this functional lens, it becomes clear that Rufaia Sany has

72
00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:56,319
consistently fulfilled these journalistic responsibilities over the years. His incisive questioning,

73
00:04:56,759 –> 00:05:00,639
fearless commentary, and commitment to public accountability to have made

74
00:05:00,680 –> 00:05:04,839
him one of the most recognizable broadcast personalities in contemporary

75
00:05:04,959 –> 00:05:09,560
Nigerian media. A notable example is his now famous exchange

76
00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:13,040
with the Minister of Works Engineer Dave Yumihi on a

77
00:05:13,160 –> 00:05:18,959
Rise television. Before that encounter, few Nigerians had publicly interrogated

78
00:05:18,959 –> 00:05:22,639
the cost per kilometer of road construction projects executed by

79
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:28,720
government agencies. While the Minister initially dismissed Rufai’s questioners elementary,

80
00:05:29,079 –> 00:05:34,600
the issue soon gained traction nationally. In fact, subsequent clarifications

81
00:05:34,639 –> 00:05:38,040
by Yumihi and even a public response by Oyo State

82
00:05:38,120 –> 00:05:42,759
Governor Saying Markinde, demonstrated that Assany’s line of questioning had

83
00:05:42,839 –> 00:05:47,600
forced an important accountability conversation into the mainstream. Through this

84
00:05:47,759 –> 00:05:51,480
singular act, Rufi did what the media are mandated to do,

85
00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:56,800
hold power accountable, enlighten the public, and stimulate civic engagement.

86
00:05:57,560 –> 00:06:00,480
It is true that a formal qualification, such as a

87
00:06:00,480 –> 00:06:04,720
diploma or degree in journalism, is generally considered a prerequisite

88
00:06:04,720 –> 00:06:09,600
for professional practice. Yet history tells a different story about

89
00:06:09,639 –> 00:06:14,480
the Nigerian press. Many of the country’s most celebrated media pioneers,

90
00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,839
from Herbert mcaulay to Ernest A College, Namdiazeki Way and

91
00:06:18,879 –> 00:06:24,480
Obefemi Awoloo, were not trained journalists in the academic sense. Nevertheless,

92
00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:29,560
through passion, intellect and experience, they became towering figures in

93
00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:34,360
the nation’s journalistic landscape in the decades that followed. Major

94
00:06:34,439 –> 00:06:38,759
Nigerian newspapers like The Guardian, The Punch, The Tribune and

95
00:06:38,839 –> 00:06:43,160
the defunct National Concord were edited by professionals whose backgrounds

96
00:06:43,160 –> 00:06:49,240
spanned literature, political science, law and the humanities, not necessarily journalism.

97
00:06:49,959 –> 00:06:53,560
What matted was their adherence to journalistic ethics and commitment

98
00:06:53,639 –> 00:06:58,480
to truth. Today, journalism is evolving faster than ever the

99
00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:02,360
rise of social and digital Nigerian Army Authority has issued

100
00:07:02,399 –> 00:07:06,319
a statement denying threat messages issued against members of the

101
00:07:06,319 –> 00:07:10,399
public ahead of the plan mass protests slated for October twentieth,

102
00:07:10,439 –> 00:07:13,680
twenty twenty five to demand for the release and freedom

103
00:07:13,720 –> 00:07:18,199
of the detained Biaffa Republic agitation leader Marzi Namdi Kanu,

104
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:22,399
just as the organizer and chief campaigner, Emiele Saware, the

105
00:07:22,439 –> 00:07:26,160
publisher of Sahara Reporters news media, met to seek understanding

106
00:07:26,199 –> 00:07:30,360
with the former President of Nigeria, good Luck of Bele Jonathan, who,

107
00:07:30,639 –> 00:07:34,800
according to Saware, promised to visit President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu

108
00:07:34,879 –> 00:07:38,199
to discuss the issue with him. Nigerian Army, in a

109
00:07:38,240 –> 00:07:42,519
statement on Friday, said the attention of the Nigerian Army

110
00:07:42,839 –> 00:07:46,439
ENNA has been drawn to a misleading publication by Sahara

111
00:07:46,560 –> 00:07:50,639
Reporters alleging that a Facebook page purportedly operated by military

112
00:07:50,680 –> 00:07:54,480
personnel issued veiled threats against certain individuals ahead of a

113
00:07:54,519 –> 00:07:58,959
planned October twentieth protest. The report is not only false,

114
00:07:59,000 –> 00:08:02,120
but a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and discredit

115
00:08:02,160 –> 00:08:06,360
the noble institution of the Nigerian Army. For the avoidance

116
00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:10,040
of doubt, the Nigerian Army has only two official social

117
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:13,480
media handles, namely at HQ and Nigerian Army and at

118
00:08:13,560 –> 00:08:17,800
Nigerian Army Info, which are duly verified on Facebook x

119
00:08:17,959 –> 00:08:22,600
formerly Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Any other page or account

120
00:08:22,639 –> 00:08:26,279
outside these verified handles does not belong to the Nigerian

121
00:08:26,360 –> 00:08:29,920
Army and should be disregarded in its entirety. It is

122
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:34,080
pertinent to state that certain civilians and online content creators

123
00:08:34,159 –> 00:08:37,799
now operate pages that post military related contents purely for

124
00:08:37,840 –> 00:08:42,320
the purpose of generating online traffic and monetary gain. Such

125
00:08:42,360 –> 00:08:46,480
pages have no affiliation whatsoever with the Nigerian Army. The

126
00:08:46,679 –> 00:08:51,519
NA therefore dissociates itself completely from any post statement or

127
00:08:51,600 –> 00:08:56,799
activity emanating from these unauthorized sources. The Nigerian Army remains

128
00:08:56,840 –> 00:09:00,759
a professional, disciplined and a political institution committed to the

129
00:09:00,799 –> 00:09:04,639
defense and unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In

130
00:09:04,720 –> 00:09:09,320
the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities, the NA continues to

131
00:09:09,399 –> 00:09:13,279
uphold the highest standards of professionalism, adherence to the rule

132
00:09:13,279 –> 00:09:17,360
of law, and respect for human rights. The general public

133
00:09:17,440 –> 00:09:21,399
and media practitioners are hereby enjoined to verify all information

134
00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:25,519
concerning the Nigerian Army only through its official platforms or

135
00:09:25,559 –> 00:09:29,919
the Directorate of Army Public Relations before publication or dissemination.

136
00:09:30,799 –> 00:09:34,799
The Nigerian Army therefore urges Sahara reporters and other media

137
00:09:34,840 –> 00:09:38,879
outlets to exercise due diligence in verifying the authenticity of

138
00:09:38,919 –> 00:09:42,039
their sources to avoid the spread of falsehood capable of

139
00:09:42,080 –> 00:09:47,120
misleading the public and undermining national security. Omile Saware, in

140
00:09:47,159 –> 00:09:51,000
a statement made available through his personal social media accounts

141
00:09:51,000 –> 00:09:55,279
on Friday, said that earlier today in Abuja, I met

142
00:09:55,320 –> 00:09:58,600
with former President good Luck Jonathan to discuss the continued

143
00:09:58,639 –> 00:10:03,399
incarceration of Marzi Namdi Karu. President Jonathan agreed that there

144
00:10:03,440 –> 00:10:06,200
is an urgent and compelling need to address this matter

145
00:10:06,279 –> 00:10:10,600
decisively and justly. I thank him sincerely for recognizing the

146
00:10:10,639 –> 00:10:14,080
importance of resolving Karnu’s case in the interest of peace,

147
00:10:14,519 –> 00:10:19,200
fairness and national healing. Particularly assuring was that he promised

148
00:10:19,200 –> 00:10:22,840
to meet Asswaju Bolah Ahmed Tanubu to discuss this issue

149
00:10:22,840 –> 00:10:27,360
as soon as possible. With this, former President Jonathan joins

150
00:10:27,360 –> 00:10:30,600
a growing list of Nigerians who have called for President

151
00:10:30,639 –> 00:10:34,480
Bolah Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation of

152
00:10:34,519 –> 00:10:39,600
the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, jeffryuche Naji, who

153
00:10:39,600 –> 00:10:42,320
had been accused of forging the degree certificate of the

154
00:10:42,440 –> 00:10:46,360
University of Nigeria in Succa and the Certificate of Completion

155
00:10:46,519 –> 00:10:49,799
of service for the one year mandatory National Youth Service

156
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:54,159
Corps ny SC after he allegedly failed an exit course

157
00:10:54,559 –> 00:11:00,000
virology repeatedly at the University Nigeria. Presidency in a statement

158
00:11:00,159 –> 00:11:03,960
made available a few minutes ago by the presidential spokesperson,

159
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:09,679
Mao Onanuga, stated that President Bolahamed Tanubu has accepted the

160
00:11:09,720 –> 00:11:13,240
resignation of Jeffrey u Che Naji, the Minister of Innovation,

161
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:19,440
Science and Technology, following some allegations against him. President Tanubu

162
00:11:19,480 –> 00:11:23,519
appointed Naji in August twenty twenty three. He resigned today

163
00:11:23,559 –> 00:11:26,120
in a letter thanking the President for allowing him to

164
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:29,879
serve Nigeria. Naji said he has been a target of

165
00:11:29,919 –> 00:11:34,559
blackmail by political opponents. President Tanubu thanked him for his

166
00:11:34,679 –> 00:11:39,559
service and wished him well in future endeavors. Earlier, Nigeria

167
00:11:39,679 –> 00:11:44,519
State controlled Media NTA had reported that the Minister of Innovation,

168
00:11:45,080 –> 00:11:50,080
Science and Technology HUCHE, Jeffrey Naji, has dismissed reports questioning

169
00:11:50,120 –> 00:11:54,639
his academic qualifications, describing him as politically motivated attempts to

170
00:11:54,679 –> 00:11:59,200
tarnish his image. The minister has firmly defended the authenticity

171
00:11:59,240 –> 00:12:03,840
of his universe of Nigeria in Suka degree. Speaking through

172
00:12:03,919 –> 00:12:08,960
his spokesperson, doctor Robert n g Wu, the minister said

173
00:12:09,039 –> 00:12:13,279
records from UNN confirm he graduated in July nineteen eighty

174
00:12:13,440 –> 00:12:18,080
five with a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second

175
00:12:18,120 –> 00:12:23,039
Class Honours, Lower Division. He described recent reports denying his

176
00:12:23,080 –> 00:12:27,720
graduation as false, malicious and politically driven, alleging that the

177
00:12:27,759 –> 00:12:32,240
controversy began after opposition figures took key positions within the university.

178
00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:36,159
Naji revealed that the Federal High Court in Abuja has

179
00:12:36,200 –> 00:12:40,039
issued protective orders restraining the university from tampering with his

180
00:12:40,159 –> 00:12:45,039
records and directing the release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming

181
00:12:45,080 –> 00:12:48,720
his focus on national service, the minister said no amount

182
00:12:48,720 –> 00:12:52,120
of political blackmail or media trial will distract him from

183
00:12:52,159 –> 00:12:57,120
advancing innovation and technology in Nigeria. He urged the University

184
00:12:57,159 –> 00:13:00,840
of Nigeria to uphold its motto to store the dignity

185
00:13:00,879 –> 00:13:05,039
of man and resist being used for partisan purposes. In

186
00:13:05,080 –> 00:13:09,480
a swift reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State Government denied sponsoring

187
00:13:09,519 –> 00:13:14,399
allegations of certificate forgery against the Minister of Innovation, Science

188
00:13:14,720 –> 00:13:18,759
and Technology, Chief Fuche Naji, urging him to carry his

189
00:13:18,879 –> 00:13:23,519
cross and clear his name before Nigerians. The government, in

190
00:13:23,600 –> 00:13:26,519
a press statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the

191
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:30,399
Director of Information in the Ministry of Information and Communication,

192
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:34,600
Mister Chukumechanivo, said it had no hand whatsoever in the

193
00:13:34,600 –> 00:13:39,919
controversies surrounding the minister’s academic records. The Enugu State Government

194
00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:44,919
dissociates itself completely from these allegations. The honorable Minister must

195
00:13:44,960 –> 00:13:48,759
carry his own cross and clear his name before Nigerians

196
00:13:48,799 –> 00:13:51,759
instead of dragging the government into issues that are entirely

197
00:13:51,840 –> 00:13:56,559
personal to him, Mister Nebo declared. The Director of Information

198
00:13:56,720 –> 00:14:00,000
recalled the Chief Naji had invited journalists to a world

199
00:14:00,120 –> 00:14:03,759
princess o La Torrea. Majaeked On Miniu from Ogan State

200
00:14:03,840 –> 00:14:06,799
and a Commonwealth Award winner who is currently pursuing a

201
00:14:06,919 –> 00:14:09,879
Master degree in law, has called on the Federal Government

202
00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:13,840
of Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Hahmed Tanubu,

203
00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:19,600
to immediately release the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikrnu,

204
00:14:20,000 –> 00:14:23,279
stating in a statement personally signed and made available to

205
00:14:23,399 –> 00:14:27,519
Media Newsroom on Monday that ten years of detention without

206
00:14:27,559 –> 00:14:31,399
conviction is a grave violation of the fundamental human rights

207
00:14:31,480 –> 00:14:36,279
of Marzi Namdikrnu specifically stated verbat in that the continued

208
00:14:36,360 –> 00:14:40,360
detention of mister Karnu without conviction is not merely a

209
00:14:40,480 –> 00:14:43,840
legal anominee. It is a profound failure of justice and

210
00:14:43,960 –> 00:14:47,879
a grave violation of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged

211
00:14:47,919 –> 00:14:52,919
detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and

212
00:14:53,000 –> 00:14:56,399
the daily realities of citizens. We must have a justice

213
00:14:56,440 –> 00:14:59,759
system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength, not

214
00:15:00,039 –> 00:15:04,000
one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust.

215
00:15:04,799 –> 00:15:08,080
According to the Princess, across the span of a decade,

216
00:15:08,480 –> 00:15:11,879
Marzi Namdicano has endured one of the longest and most

217
00:15:11,919 –> 00:15:17,360
troubling pre trial detentions in Nigeria’s history. Arrested in twenty fifteen,

218
00:15:17,840 –> 00:15:22,559
accused pleading not guilty and never convicted, he remains confined

219
00:15:22,559 –> 00:15:26,440
in a blatant defiance of the most fundamental human rights principles.

220
00:15:27,200 –> 00:15:30,759
Whereas justice when a man stands unconvicted for ten years,

221
00:15:31,240 –> 00:15:35,799
while those charged with upholding justice remains silent. The continued

222
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:39,600
detention of mister Karnu without conviction is not merely a

223
00:15:39,679 –> 00:15:42,919
legal anomaly. It is a profound failure of justice and

224
00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:47,440
a grave violation of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged

225
00:15:47,480 –> 00:15:52,600
detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and

226
00:15:52,679 –> 00:15:56,519
the daily realities of citizens. We must have a justice

227
00:15:56,559 –> 00:16:00,120
system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength, not

228
00:16:00,240 –> 00:16:04,120
one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust.

229
00:16:05,000 –> 00:16:08,799
No charge, however grave, should ever eclipse the principle that

230
00:16:08,919 –> 00:16:13,840
every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That principle

231
00:16:13,919 –> 00:16:16,919
is the very cornerstone of law and must never be broken,

232
00:16:17,360 –> 00:16:20,919
regardless of who holds power. As we call for Marsi

233
00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:25,159
Namdicanu’s immediate and unconditional freedom, my heart goes out to

234
00:16:25,279 –> 00:16:31,000
millions of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations and economic classes,

235
00:16:31,399 –> 00:16:34,360
from Buenau to Quia to Legos, crying out for help

236
00:16:34,399 –> 00:16:40,600
against armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions, untimely deaths,

237
00:16:40,919 –> 00:16:46,080
and the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities. Beyond politics,

238
00:16:46,519 –> 00:16:50,639
every life matters. Marsi Namlikanu’s health and spirit are at

239
00:16:50,720 –> 00:16:54,720
grave risk after ten years behind bars without a proven crime.

240
00:16:55,600 –> 00:16:59,879
This declaration is an urgent proclamation. We will count every second,

241
00:17:00,360 –> 00:17:04,640
every hour, every day and continue to galvanize until Marzi

242
00:17:04,720 –> 00:17:09,119
Namdi Kano is restored to his rightful freedom. Nigeria now

243
00:17:09,240 –> 00:17:12,319
stands at a cross of roads where history will judge

244
00:17:12,359 –> 00:17:15,400
the true motives of those in power. The eyes of

245
00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:18,039
the world are watching, and the conscience of the nation

246
00:17:18,240 –> 00:17:22,160
is restless. The promise of our democracy depends not only

247
00:17:22,279 –> 00:17:24,720
on acts of courage within the halls of power, but

248
00:17:24,839 –> 00:17:29,960
also on the bold, united actions of citizens about Marzi Namdik.

249
00:17:30,079 –> 00:17:33,839
Volodomir Zelenski, the President of Ukraine, may have given a

250
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:37,079
clearer picture on how some companies are apparently aiding and

251
00:17:37,240 –> 00:17:40,640
making more money from the ongoing war in his country Ukraine,

252
00:17:41,079 –> 00:17:43,920
saying since the start of the war four years ago,

253
00:17:44,359 –> 00:17:48,960
some unnamed companies in the United States, US, United Kingdom,

254
00:17:49,440 –> 00:17:56,799
uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan, Korea Republic Netherlands are

255
00:17:56,799 –> 00:18:01,440
producing components. Russia under President Vladimir Putin is using to

256
00:18:01,519 –> 00:18:06,400
produce weapons of mass destruction to kill his people. This Zelenski,

257
00:18:06,480 –> 00:18:09,680
in his own words, said on Monday that in the

258
00:18:09,799 –> 00:18:12,880
fourth year of the full scale war, Russia continues to

259
00:18:12,960 –> 00:18:17,200
obtain components for producing weapons. During the massive combined strike

260
00:18:17,279 –> 00:18:20,640
on Ukraine on the night of October fifth, Russia used

261
00:18:20,720 –> 00:18:24,799
five hundred and forty nine weapon systems containing one hundred

262
00:18:24,839 –> 00:18:28,519
and two thousand, seven hundred and eighty five foreign made

263
00:18:28,599 –> 00:18:32,839
components from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan,

264
00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:38,319
the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea,

265
00:18:38,640 –> 00:18:42,160
and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six hundred and

266
00:18:42,279 –> 00:18:45,000
eighty eight of foreign made parts were in the launched

267
00:18:45,079 –> 00:18:48,920
attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred were in a scandas,

268
00:18:49,440 –> 00:18:52,920
one hundred and ninety two in Kinsel missiles and four

269
00:18:53,039 –> 00:18:56,880
hundred and five in calibers. Zelenski stated this in a

270
00:18:56,960 –> 00:19:01,359
statement made available through his personal social media profile on Monday,

271
00:19:01,799 –> 00:19:04,319
after about thirty people were injured as a result of

272
00:19:04,359 –> 00:19:07,720
the Russian attack on a moving passenger train, killing one

273
00:19:07,799 –> 00:19:12,720
person in Shoska District of Ukraine on Saturday. According to Zelenski,

274
00:19:13,279 –> 00:19:16,799
Ukraine is preparing new sanctions against those who help Russia

275
00:19:16,880 –> 00:19:20,079
and its war, and we have communicated proposals to curb

276
00:19:20,119 –> 00:19:24,440
the supply schemes. Partners already possess the detailed data on

277
00:19:24,559 –> 00:19:27,640
each company and each product. They know what to target

278
00:19:27,720 –> 00:19:31,640
and how to respond. This week, the G seven sanctions

279
00:19:31,720 –> 00:19:35,319
coordinators will meet and we expect a systemic decision to

280
00:19:35,480 –> 00:19:39,119
ensure that the sanctions are truly effective. It is crucial

281
00:19:39,240 –> 00:19:43,279
to shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions, because Russia

282
00:19:43,359 –> 00:19:46,480
uses each one to keep killing. The world has the

283
00:19:46,559 –> 00:19:49,279
power to stop this. In the fourth year of the

284
00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:54,079
full scale war, Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons.

285
00:19:54,960 –> 00:19:57,880
During the massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night

286
00:19:57,920 –> 00:20:01,640
of October fifth, Russia use five hundred and forty nine

287
00:20:01,759 –> 00:20:05,759
weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand, seven hundred

288
00:20:05,799 –> 00:20:09,519
and eighty five foreign made components from companies in the

289
00:20:09,680 –> 00:20:15,319
United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,

290
00:20:15,680 –> 00:20:20,440
the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand,

291
00:20:20,559 –> 00:20:23,279
six hundred and eighty eight of foreign made parts were

292
00:20:23,319 –> 00:20:26,920
in the launched attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred

293
00:20:26,960 –> 00:20:29,599
were in a scandas, one hundred and ninety two in

294
00:20:29,759 –> 00:20:34,559
Kinsel missiles, and four hundred and five in calibers. In particular,

295
00:20:35,000 –> 00:20:39,079
companies in the United States manufacture converters for KH one

296
00:20:39,240 –> 00:20:43,480
hundred and one missiles and shad Berran type drones, senses

297
00:20:43,559 –> 00:20:47,119
for those UAVs and for Kinsel missiles, analog to digital

298
00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:52,240
converters for drones and missiles, and microelectronics for missiles. At

299
00:20:52,359 –> 00:20:56,400
least fifty different microelectronic components in each shard are produced

300
00:20:56,480 –> 00:21:00,799
in China and Taiwan. Micro Controllers for UA prosers walk

301
