Speaker 1: Queen Noah Magbe Awuare the Second is the fourth wife

2
00:00:03,480 –> 00:00:07,559
of Benin Monic, his Royal Majesty Oberware two, and the

00:00:07,639 –> 00:00:11,599
queen is also the biological sister of the Ober’s fifth wife,

00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:15,679
Queen ISOs Uare the Second. On Thursday, early morning night,

5
00:00:16,079 –> 00:00:20,039
Queen Noah Magbe apparently used a proxy TikTok account named

6
00:00:20,160 –> 00:00:24,480
Queen ewuaa back up and accused the Benin Traditional Council

7
00:00:24,960 –> 00:00:29,839
BTC of dishonest behavior, categorically stating the BTC lie that

8
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:34,880
nigeria prominent social media streamer babib hamzat Ad Larger aka

9
00:00:35,039 –> 00:00:38,079
Pella was not authorized access into the palace of the

10
00:00:38,119 –> 00:00:41,679
Benin Monarch, where she accidentally met Pella and gave him

11
00:00:41,719 –> 00:00:44,759
a motherly welcome as the queen of the ober An action,

12
00:00:45,119 –> 00:00:48,799
the BTC has alleged she breached the palace protocol, hence

13
00:00:49,039 –> 00:00:51,840
she risked being removed or sent packing from the palace.

14
00:00:52,159 –> 00:00:55,600
According to Queen Noah Magbee in the apparent TikTok social

15
00:00:55,679 –> 00:00:59,039
media proxy account, Feller’s visit to the palace is a

16
00:00:59,079 –> 00:01:01,960
mere cover up that a loss has been happening behind

17
00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:05,120
closed door. She supported her claim with a document that

18
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:08,760
suggests the Benin Traditional Council was aware of Pella coming

19
00:01:08,840 –> 00:01:12,200
to the palace, and the document dated February twenty third,

20
00:01:12,280 –> 00:01:16,400
twenty twenty six indicated that the BTC received and acknowledged

21
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:20,000
the letter of peller planned visit, but if the BTC

22
00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:22,879
actually wrote back to Pella to notify him about the

23
00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:26,799
acceptance or rejection of his request was not stated this.

24
00:01:27,439 –> 00:01:32,079
The president of i Gurbasmy Movement Worldwide Assarro Culture Yarmu,

25
00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:35,280
counted the document and said the receipt of letter at

26
00:01:35,319 –> 00:01:39,719
any institution registry doesn’t amount to approval. However, the moment

27
00:01:39,760 –> 00:01:44,280
the letter is received at Orevied Palace Registry, it’s forwarded

28
00:01:44,319 –> 00:01:47,599
to the private office of Ober of Benin, His Royal

29
00:01:47,680 –> 00:01:53,239
Majesty Homo nober needo Uku Aquolopolo oberreuare two. Ober of

30
00:01:53,239 –> 00:01:57,079
Benin will then instruct the Secretary of Benin Traditional Council

31
00:01:57,480 –> 00:02:00,799
BTC to either write formerly or call those seeking for

32
00:02:00,879 –> 00:02:04,599
approval of their letters, especially as its relate to royal visitations.

33
00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:08,039
Those who lured and deceived Pella without the approval of

34
00:02:08,039 –> 00:02:12,159
Benin Traditional Council BTC of the real problem. For the

35
00:02:12,199 –> 00:02:15,800
avoidance of doubts Queen no Magbe may not be first

36
00:02:15,960 –> 00:02:18,719
Ober wife to be sent packing from the palace over

37
00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:22,719
breached of access into the monic palace. The ober eldest wife,

38
00:02:22,960 –> 00:02:26,800
Queen ero gama Uare two, had been sent packing from

39
00:02:26,840 –> 00:02:30,039
the palace simply because one of the biological children of

40
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:32,919
the Ober entered the palace allegedly in a manner the

41
00:02:32,960 –> 00:02:35,800
Ober did not like. This was made known in a

42
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:40,439
reactionary public letter issued on December thirtieth, twenty twenty five

43
00:02:40,599 –> 00:02:44,919
by Prince as Eleki Uare the second, the Ober’s eldest son,

44
00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:47,400
who is believed to be the next Ober of Benin.

45
00:02:47,879 –> 00:02:50,639
According to Prince as Eleki, I want to make it

46
00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:54,360
very clear my mother did nothing wrong. Six months ago,

47
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:58,560
my youngest brother allegedly barged into the palace wanting to

48
00:02:58,599 –> 00:03:02,599
see his father. Our father wasn’t happy with his approach.

49
00:03:02,919 –> 00:03:05,879
As a result, my mother was told to leave the palace.

50
00:03:06,280 –> 00:03:08,599
I would like to use this medium to plead on

51
00:03:08,719 –> 00:03:13,080
behalf of your senior children. You wouldn’t see your second son,

52
00:03:13,400 –> 00:03:17,080
your third son, and your second daughter. Please, whatever our

53
00:03:17,159 –> 00:03:20,840
father said they did wrong, please forgive and forget. Time

54
00:03:20,960 –> 00:03:24,599
is precious. We want togetherness, not the vision on the

55
00:03:24,680 –> 00:03:27,560
issue he had with the OBER over the establishment of

56
00:03:27,639 –> 00:03:31,639

surviving terrorists to withdraw and flee in disarray. Accordingly, the

73
00:04:34,759 –> 00:04:38,639

75
00:04:43,560 –> 00:04:47,839

pronged terrorist attack on own positions at Malam for Tory

77
00:04:51,279 –> 00:04:55,720
in Sector three. The terrorists, who advanced in large numbers

78
00:04:55,759 –> 00:04:58,560
on foot and deployed armed drones in a desperate bid

79
00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:02,199
to breach the defenses of Lae. Locations of troops, particularly

80
00:05:02,199 –> 00:05:05,920
along the frontage of Bravo Company from the Daguri General Area,

81
00:05:06,079 –> 00:05:11,360
were met with overwhelming resistance. Having maintained full situational awareness

82
00:05:11,360 –> 00:05:14,600
of the battle space, troops had anticipated the attack and

83
00:05:14,639 –> 00:05:19,040
deliberately prepared an offensive defensive battle designed to decisively defeat

84
00:05:19,079 –> 00:05:23,879
and annihilate the assault elements. Through disciplined fire control, co

85
00:05:24,120 –> 00:05:29,879

and rooted in disarray, with no fewer than eighty terrorists

87
00:05:33,079 –> 00:05:37,720
neutralized during the engagement. Additionally, the fire fight was further

88
00:05:37,759 –> 00:05:41,000
reinforced by precision of close air support from the air

89
00:05:41,040 –> 00:05:45,639
component of Operation Hadden Kai, complemented by rapid strike passes

90
00:05:45,680 –> 00:05:49,480
from allied Nigerian air assets which compounded the pressure on

91
00:05:49,560 –> 00:05:54,079
the fleeing insurgents. Exploitation of the engagement area led to

92
00:05:54,120 –> 00:05:57,800
the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons, ammunition, and

93
00:05:57,879 –> 00:06:02,680

drones deployed by the terrorists. Despite the scale and intensity

99
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:33,279
of the assault, owned troops recorded minimal casualties, with four

100
00:06:33,319 –> 00:06:36,959
soldiers wounded in action and promptly stabilized, while follow on

103
00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:52,079

153
00:10:28,960 –> 00:10:31,639
at various health There may be no doubt that Iran

154
00:10:31,759 –> 00:10:35,120
is apparently giving the United States U S a tougher

155
00:10:35,159 –> 00:10:38,120
time at the Strait of Harmers, holding strong that none

156
00:10:38,120 –> 00:10:41,080
of its enemies and their allies will sell their ship

157
00:10:41,159 –> 00:10:43,840
through the Strait of Harmers, an action that has since

158
00:10:43,960 –> 00:10:47,559
made the U S President Donald Trump to make contradictory

159
00:10:47,600 –> 00:10:51,320
statements after the U. S. Army obviously failed in its

160
00:10:51,360 –> 00:10:56,360
intimidating military campaign and destruction of the Iran Naval base, airport,

161
00:10:56,440 –> 00:11:01,360
control tower, helicopter hangars, naval mind storage, missile bunkers, and

00:11:01,440 –> 00:11:05,480
anti aircraft and ballistic missiles defence system, with a threat

163
00:11:05,519 –> 00:11:07,759
to destroy the oil life fline of Iran at the

164
00:11:07,840 –> 00:11:11,320
Kag Island if Iran continued to block ship from sailing

165
00:11:11,399 –> 00:11:14,120
through the Strait of Hormus, but yet as at the

166
00:11:14,159 –> 00:11:17,600
time of filing in this report, today Iran remains deviant

167
00:11:17,600 –> 00:11:21,120
to US threat, with close watches saying Iran may not

168
00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:24,600
fight a traditional normal naval war with the U. S. Marines,

base in Japan to the Strait of Hormus, of which

171
00:11:30,840 –> 00:11:33,759
over two thousand, five hundred of the U. S. Marines

172
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:37,159
and sailors have been redeployed and apparently drawn from the

173
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:42,559
thirty first Marine Expeditionary Unit MEU, an elite rapid response force,

174
00:11:42,919 –> 00:11:45,840
and the Marines are traveling aboard an amphibious ready group

175
00:11:46,519 –> 00:11:50,720
arg led by the assault ship USS Tripoli LHA seven,

176
00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:53,720
an assault ship that can function as a lightning carrier

177
00:11:54,039 –> 00:11:57,679
carrying f three five B stealth fighters and MV twenty

178
00:11:57,679 –> 00:12:00,960
two Osprey transport aircraft, and the Asas signed marines are

179
00:12:01,039 –> 00:12:03,919
expected to arrive the Strait of Hormas in a week

180
00:12:04,080 –> 00:12:08,080
or less than two weeks time, but currently close watch

181
00:12:08,120 –> 00:12:12,360
is said Iran is using deviant tactics like GPS jabbing,

182
00:12:12,759 –> 00:12:16,000
swarming drones and underwater mines to keep the U S.

183
00:12:16,080 –> 00:12:18,960
Navy off balance, an action that may be the reason

184
00:12:19,000 –> 00:12:22,519
the U S. President Donald Trump initially called on the

185
00:12:22,600 –> 00:12:27,200
international communities to help form an international naval coalition to

186
00:12:27,240 –> 00:12:31,240
reopen the Strait of Hormas, but some European countries like Germany,

187
00:12:31,679 –> 00:12:36,519
United Kingdom, France, Greece, Italy and the North Atlantic Treaty

188
00:12:36,600 –> 00:12:40,919
Organization NATO refused, with some heads of the European countries

189
00:12:40,960 –> 00:12:44,200
saying the war is not our war, Germany will not

190
00:12:44,240 –> 00:12:48,519
participate in any military activity in the Strait, any plan

191
00:12:48,639 –> 00:12:51,440
to reopen the strait won’t be a NATO mission, and

192
00:12:51,480 –> 00:12:54,559
that the UK will not be drawn into a wider war.

193
00:12:55,120 –> 00:12:58,600
No sending France warships to the region until the security

194
00:12:58,759 –> 00:13:03,600
situation stabilizes. Italy’s current naval missions would not be extended

195
00:13:03,639 –> 00:13:07,159
to the Strait. No Greece military engagement in the Waterway.

196
00:13:07,559 –> 00:13:11,720
Following this, President Donald Trump, in a nationwide media chat

197
00:13:11,759 –> 00:13:16,519
on Monday, said US don’t need them. We don’t need anybody.

198
00:13:16,879 –> 00:13:19,440
We are the strongest nation in the world. We have

199
00:13:19,519 –> 00:13:22,840
the strongest military by far in the world. We don’t

200
00:13:22,919 –> 00:13:26,840
need them. But it is interesting in some cases, not

201
00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:29,759
because we need them, because I want to find out

202
00:13:29,799 –> 00:13:33,120
how they react. We have been protecting these countries for

203
00:13:33,240 –> 00:13:36,720
years with NATO, because NATO is US. You can ask

204
00:13:36,799 –> 00:13:42,279
Putin Russia President Vladimir Putin fears US. He doesn’t fear them.

205
00:13:42,399 –> 00:13:46,159
He has no fear of Europe whatsoever. Meanwhile, a Ran

206
00:13:46,279 –> 00:13:50,159
stronghold on the Strait of Hormas has made energy prices

207
00:13:50,200 –> 00:13:53,559
to go higher. Brent crude has surged to over dollar

208
00:13:53,679 –> 00:13:57,200
one hundred and five per barrel, a forty percent increase

209
00:13:57,240 –> 00:14:00,000
since the start of the war on February twenty eighth.

210
00:14:00,120 –> 00:14:02,440
There may be no doubt that the year twenty twenty

211
00:14:02,519 –> 00:14:04,759
six may not be a year of good record for

212
00:14:04,799 –> 00:14:07,639
some men and women of the Armed Forces of Nigeria

213
00:14:08,200 –> 00:14:12,159
afn AS. Multiple reports and official statements have confirmed that

214
00:14:12,240 –> 00:14:15,879
some numbers of Nigeria soldiers have been killed by Islamic

215
00:14:15,960 –> 00:14:19,840
State of West Africa Province ICEWAP since the beginning of

216
00:14:19,879 –> 00:14:23,840
this year. Thus, the multiple reports suggest more than one

217
00:14:23,919 –> 00:14:27,519
hundred eighty Nigeria soldiers may have been killed in just

218
00:14:27,679 –> 00:14:31,080
seventy three days into this new year twenty twenty six,

219
00:14:31,480 –> 00:14:34,360
which further indicated that an average of two to three

220
00:14:34,480 –> 00:14:38,879
soldiers are being killed daily in Nigeria by the ICEWAP terrorists,

221
00:14:38,879 –> 00:14:42,240
who appeared to have increased the daily offensive attacks on

222
00:14:42,360 –> 00:14:47,240
Nigeria soldiers since the US Israel joint war against Iran

223
00:14:47,360 –> 00:14:51,399
began on February twenty eighth, twenty twenty six. Although some

224
00:14:51,519 –> 00:14:55,519
close watchers accused the Nigeria military of always downplaying or

225
00:14:55,639 –> 00:14:59,759
reporting are very lower numbers of troops casualties, but the

226
00:14:59,840 –> 00:15:04,480
no Nigeria Minister of Defense, General Christophermosa stated and confirmed

227
00:15:04,559 –> 00:15:07,679
during the week after security chiefs held the meeting with

228
00:15:07,799 –> 00:15:11,759
President Bola Ahmed Tenubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja

229
00:15:11,799 –> 00:15:15,120
that the lots of Nigeria soldiers has been lost, but

230
00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:18,159
he insisted the contrary to some reports by the media,

231
00:15:18,519 –> 00:15:22,639
the terrorists and bandits are taking more casualties, specifically stating

232
00:15:23,120 –> 00:15:25,879
their commanders are being killed every day we are sure

233
00:15:25,879 –> 00:15:29,120
of victory, and some reports also suggest that the ICEWAP

234
00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:33,559
terrorists are increasingly using armed drones for asymmetric warfare and

235
00:15:33,679 –> 00:15:37,000
high end tech like night vision in recent attacks on

236
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:41,559
military bases in Nigeria, with some foreigners joining the Nigeria

237
00:15:41,759 –> 00:15:46,080
ICEWAP fighters to launch a Ramadan campaign that saw ICEWAP

238
00:15:46,159 –> 00:15:51,399
overrunning some military bases in Conduga, manik Jukana and Marte

239
00:15:51,440 –> 00:15:55,480
areas of Borno State, with local media reports stating approximately

240
00:15:55,519 –> 00:15:59,080
forty soldiers were killed, while ICEWAP in a press release,

241
00:15:59,159 –> 00:16:02,159
claimed to have killed sixteen in the initial assault and

242
00:16:02,240 –> 00:16:06,159
another twenty in a subsequent suicide bombing. On March four,

243
00:16:06,320 –> 00:16:10,360
twenty twenty six, at least fourteen soldiers were reportedly killed

244
00:16:10,480 –> 00:16:14,200
during attacks on military bases in Ngosh and other parts

245
00:16:14,279 –> 00:16:19,039
of Borno State between February fifteenth and eighteen, twenty twenty six.

246
00:16:19,480 –> 00:16:23,200
Multiple reports confirmed eight soldiers were killed and twenty three

247
00:16:23,440 –> 00:16:26,600
injured at a base in Crosskauer in the Kikawa Local

248
00:16:26,679 –> 00:16:30,879
government area of Borno State. Another six soldiers were reportedly

249
00:16:30,960 –> 00:16:35,080
killed in bw Local government area earlier in January twenty

250
00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:38,360
twenty six, at least twenty soldiers were killed in an

251
00:16:38,399 –> 00:16:41,759
attack on a remote base in Malamftori and eight others

252
00:16:41,759 –> 00:16:44,480
were killed in a separate ambush earlier in the month.

253
00:16:44,879 –> 00:16:49,960
This former Nigeria presidential candidate in the last concluded general

254
00:16:50,000 –> 00:16:53,840
elections in the West Africa country, Peter Obee, in awarded

255
00:16:53,879 –> 00:16:57,720
statement during the week said our nation is clearly under

256
00:16:57,720 –> 00:17:01,799
siege and the scale of insecurity is becoming unbearable, spreading

257
00:17:01,919 –> 00:17:05,240
widely all over the country this week alone in Borno

258
00:17:05,400 –> 00:17:09,799
States in Gosh community, terrorists overpowered soldiers, killing them in

259
00:17:09,880 –> 00:17:14,039
several citizens while abducting more than one hundred women and children.

260
00:17:14,119 –> 00:17:18,079
Yet are leaders are silent. Nigerian Army in press release

261
00:17:18,160 –> 00:17:21,640
signed and made available on March fourteenth, twenty twenty six

262
00:17:21,759 –> 00:17:25,759
by Lieutenant Colonel Sanni Uber, the Media Information Officer of

263
00:17:25,880 –> 00:17:29,880
Joint Task Force in the Northeast code named Operation hadden Kai.

264
00:17:30,160 –> 00:17:33,960
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanna, who has said that the

265
00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:36,880
State of Israel has a lot of organized plans of

266
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:40,759
what yet to be done in Iran, specifically saying regarding

267
00:17:40,799 –> 00:17:43,119
what we will do next in Iran, we have an

268
00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:47,039
organized plan with many surprises to destabilize the regime and

269
00:17:47,079 –> 00:17:50,200
the naval change. We have many more targets and I

270
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:53,799
will not detail them here, Benjamin Netannah, who stated this

271
00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:58,119
on Saturday, a day before moch Taba Kamanee was officially

272
00:17:58,160 –> 00:18:01,519
and publicly announced as the iran new Supreme leader in

273
00:18:01,640 –> 00:18:05,640
Tehran’s Vanik Square on Sunday, with residents in Middle East

274
00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:09,480
reporting with videos that Iran unleashed some numbers of massive

275
00:18:09,559 –> 00:18:13,680
waves of fatter two hypersonic blind missiles straight at Israel

276
00:18:13,799 –> 00:18:17,519
shortly after the announcement of the Iran’s new Supreme leader,

277
00:18:17,960 –> 00:18:21,480
moach Taber Kamanee, many believed to be much more aggressive

278
00:18:21,519 –> 00:18:25,400
than his father, Atollah Ali Kamenee. The announcement of the

279
00:18:25,440 –> 00:18:28,920
new supreme leader was made known after days. The US

280
00:18:29,039 –> 00:18:32,160
President Donald Trump stated that the US will have a

281
00:18:32,200 –> 00:18:35,640
complete control of Iran and determine its leadership, which in

282
00:18:35,720 –> 00:18:39,240
one of the occasions, President Donald Trump stated verbat and

283
00:18:39,319 –> 00:18:42,599
that well, most of the people we had in mind

284
00:18:42,599 –> 00:18:45,160
are dead. We had some in mind from that group

285
00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:48,240
that is dead. Now we have another group. They may

286
00:18:48,279 –> 00:18:52,400
be dead also based Home reports this. The Israeli Prime

287
00:18:52,440 –> 00:18:56,559
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a nationwide message to the people

288
00:18:56,640 –> 00:19:00,000
of Israel on Saturday, as made available by the Office

289
00:19:00,160 –> 00:19:03,160
of the Prime Minister said countries can now see the

290
00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:07,200
hypocrisy of the United Nations u N following the U

291
00:19:07,319 –> 00:19:11,160
S Israel joint war against Iram, saying the war is

292
00:19:11,240 –> 00:19:13,359
changing the face of the Middle East, and in his

293
00:19:13,480 –> 00:19:18,240
words Benjamin Netanyahu said, at the same time, we brought

294
00:19:18,279 –> 00:19:21,680
all of our hostages home, struck the centers of terrorism

295
00:19:21,799 –> 00:19:25,000
in Judea and Samaria, climbed to the peak of Mount Herman,

296
00:19:25,319 –> 00:19:29,480
and created buffer zones in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. As

297
00:19:29,519 –> 00:19:32,759
I promised you two days after October seventh, we are

298
00:19:32,839 –> 00:19:35,480
changing the face of the Middle East. But we didn’t

299
00:19:35,599 –> 00:19:39,680
just change the Middle East. First and foremost, we changed ourselves,

300
00:19:39,920 –> 00:19:43,440
because after the great disaster of October seventh, I decided

301
00:19:43,440 –> 00:19:46,759
to leave a polar shift, powerful actions one after another,

302
00:19:47,079 –> 00:19:51,279
proactive and surprising actions, actions that dramatically change the balance

303
00:19:51,400 –> 00:19:54,839
of power between us and our enemies. The countries around us.

304
00:19:54,839 –> 00:19:57,799
See the hypocrisy of the U N, which condemned us

305
00:19:57,839 –> 00:20:01,359
without reason in our just war again against Iran’s murderous

306
00:20:01,359 –> 00:20:04,960
proxies in Gaza. Yet that saying Yuen did nothing in

307
00:20:05,039 –> 00:20:08,400
the face of the mass saorter in Iran. These countries

308
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:11,799
which were attacked by Iran see the weakness and feebleness

309
00:20:11,880 –> 00:20:15,000
of leaders in the West who simply abandoned them while

310
00:20:15,079 –> 00:20:19,519
Kamene and his murderers sorted tens of thousands of Iranian citizens.

311
00:20:19,839 –> 00:20:22,920
Where was the UN Where were many countries in the West,

312
00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:26,720
and where was the international media that constantly condemns us

313
00:20:26,759 –> 00:20:30,720
with fake news? They were nowhere. They simply vanished. Together

314
00:20:30,759 –> 00:20:34,400
we rose from the terrible massacre of October seventh. Together

315
00:20:34,440 –> 00:20:37,319
we repelled our enemies step by step in the war

316
00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:40,799
of redemption, and we struck them hip and thigh in Gaza,

317
00:20:41,079 –> 00:20:45,279
Sinwhare and his murderers in Lebanon, Nazarella and his terrorists

318
00:20:45,799 –> 00:20:50,240
in Syria. We brought about the fall of the bloody regime. Iran.

319
00:20:50,319 –> 00:20:54,160
On Sunday officially named and announced moj Taberkamenae as the

320
00:20:54,200 –> 00:20:57,599
country’s new supreme leader, following the killing of his father,

321
00:20:57,720 –> 00:21:01,559
Iatollah Ali Komenae in u s Foreign Minister of Iran,

322
00:21:01,920 –> 00:21:05,519
Abbess Arachi has said that Iranian soldiers are currently waiting

323
00:21:05,599 –> 00:21:09,880
for US ground troops to invade Iran, saying the Iranians

324
00:21:09,880 –> 00:21:13,640
are prepared for any scenario. According to Arachi, Iran is

325
00:21:13,680 –> 00:21:17,039
confident that its soldiers can confront U S ground troops

326
00:21:17,079 –> 00:21:20,640
and if the United States actually decided to begin ground

327
00:21:20,720 –> 00:21:23,720
troops invasion in Iran, it will be a disaster for

328
00:21:23,759 –> 00:21:27,200
the US because we know we can handle them. Adding,

329
00:21:27,599 –> 00:21:30,839
Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing war

330
00:21:30,920 –> 00:21:34,559
with the US and Israel politically and otherwise. And shortly

331
00:21:34,599 –> 00:21:37,319
after the Iran Foreign Minister made this known in an

332
00:21:37,359 –> 00:21:41,680
exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday, the U

333
00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:44,559
S Secretary of War pet Takes has visited the U

334
00:21:44,680 –> 00:21:48,599
S Central Command SENTAM headquarters at McDill Air Force Base

335
00:21:48,799 –> 00:21:52,200
in Tampa area of Florida, apparently for a high level

336
00:21:52,240 –> 00:21:55,920
briefing and next plan of action discussed with the SENTCAM Commander,

337
00:21:56,200 –> 00:22:01,200

soldiers are willing to surrender in order to save their lives,

380
00:24:46,039 –> 00:24:49,559

persons have been killed so far in Israel, with estimated

389
00:25:22,240 –> 00:25:25,960
five hundred people sustaining injuries, and the war has forced

390
00:25:26,000 –> 00:25:31,759
Iran to launch counter attacks on US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,

391
00:25:32,119 –> 00:25:36,960
and the United Arab Emirates UAE. This Iran Foreign Minister

392
00:25:37,359 –> 00:25:41,200
ABIs Arachi had said Iran will not surrender, stating that

393
00:25:41,519 –> 00:25:45,599
despite the massive air strikes on Tehran, Iran’s military capability

394
00:25:45,640 –> 00:25:49,759
remains intact, adding Iran was able to retaliate faster than

395
00:25:49,799 –> 00:25:53,200
it did in the twenty twenty five twelve Day war

396
00:25:53,599 –> 00:25:57,400
and that its mosaic defense doctrine makes it resilient to

397
00:25:57,480 –> 00:26:01,960
infrastructure damage. Arachi called the kus king of Kamenae absolutely

398
00:26:02,079 –> 00:26:06,240
unprecedented and a major violation of international law, warning it

399
00:26:06,279 –> 00:26:10,039
had made the conflict even more dangerous and more complicated,

400
00:26:10,440 –> 00:26:14,799
saying Kamenae was not only Iran’s political leader, but a

401
00:26:14,920 –> 00:26:18,759
high ranking religious leader for millions of Muslims even outside

402
00:26:18,799 –> 00:26:22,319
of Iran across the region, pointing to protests that had

403
00:26:22,440 –> 00:26:25,759
erupted in Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere where the leader had

404
00:26:25,839 –> 00:26:29,440
follow us. In line with this, Al Jazeera News media

405
00:26:29,559 –> 00:26:33,519
also reported some minutes ago that Iranian missiles have been

406
00:26:33,599 –> 00:26:37,880
seen over Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank, reportedly

407
00:26:37,920 –> 00:26:41,759
breaking through Israel’s defense system, with Iran saying it is

408
00:26:41,799 –> 00:26:47,480
targeting Israeli military facilities. In the six minutes nationwide video broadcast,

409
00:26:47,880 –> 00:26:51,599
President Donald Trump called on members of the Iranian Revolutionary

410
00:26:51,599 –> 00:26:55,880
Guards to surrender their weapons or face certain deaths, saying

411
00:26:56,319 –> 00:26:59,079
the death of the three American soldiers killed in action

412
00:26:59,200 –> 00:27:03,079
will be avenged by taking more punishing actions against the enemies.

413
00:27:03,839 –> 00:27:07,400
President Donald Trump said there will likely be additional American

414
00:27:07,480 –> 00:27:10,640
deaths during the combat mission in Iran, which he said

415
00:27:10,680 –> 00:27:15,599
would continue until the US achieves its objectives. Combat operations

416
00:27:15,640 –> 00:27:18,960
continue at this time in full force, and they will

417
00:27:19,000 –> 00:27:22,680
continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have

418
00:27:22,880 –> 00:27:26,039
very strong objectives, he said in a video posted to

truth social without specifying in detail what those objectives were.

420
00:27:30,480 –> 00:27:35,200
According to CNN, President Trump said nine Iranian ships have

421
00:27:35,319 –> 00:27:39,160
been destroyed so far in the Operation Epic Fury. In

422
00:27:39,240 –> 00:27:43,240
an earlier social media post, Trump said, I have just

423
00:27:43,319 –> 00:27:46,279
been informed that we have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian

424
00:27:46,359 –> 00:27:50,400
naval ships, some of them relatively large and important. We

425
00:27:50,480 –> 00:27:53,480
are going after the rest. They will soon be floating

426
00:27:53,519 –> 00:27:57,440
at the bottom of the sea. Also, President Trump also

427
00:27:57,559 –> 00:28:01,079

431
00:28:12,079 –> 00:28:15,720
Although the U S. Embassy in Beirut never mentioned Israel

432
00:28:15,799 –> 00:28:19,039
and hesbella possible new war in the Middle East as

433
00:28:19,079 –> 00:28:22,440
the reason for its action, but there are strong indications

434
00:28:22,519 –> 00:28:25,359
that the America government took the decision because of the

435
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:29,000
possible military conflicts in the region. According to the U

439
00:28:41,880 –> 00:28:46,359

in a state of high tension characterized by a fragile

469
00:30:42,920 –> 00:30:48,119
ceasefire and ongoing military operations. In February twenty twenty six,

470
00:30:48,559 –> 00:30:51,839
the Middle East region is currently under a fragile ceasefire

471
00:30:51,880 –> 00:30:55,720
that began on November twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, yet

472
00:30:55,759 –> 00:30:59,880
both sides of Israel and Hesbela in Lebanon frequently report violations.

473
00:31:00,799 –> 00:31:04,240
The twenty twenty four war was triggered by the October seventh,

474
00:31:04,359 –> 00:31:08,839
twenty twenty three Hamas attacks on Israel, which Hebela began

475
00:31:08,920 –> 00:31:13,359
firing rockets into Israel on October eighth, twenty twenty three.

476
00:31:13,400 –> 00:31:16,920
This escalated into a full scale war in September twenty

477
00:31:16,960 –> 00:31:21,599
twenty four. The conflict, according to local authorities in Lebanon

478
00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:24,839
and Israel, resulted in over four thousand deaths in Lebanon

479
00:31:24,880 –> 00:31:29,240

484
00:31:46,200 –> 00:31:49,759
in Edo State was made against the Divisional Police Officer

area in the state. A state that had witnessed rampant

488
00:32:01,000 –> 00:32:05,000
cases of kidnappings in recent time, especially since the beginning

489
00:32:05,079 –> 00:32:08,200
of this year. Despite the fact that the Edo State Governor,

490
00:32:08,640 –> 00:32:12,920
monday Ocpapolo, has executed the destruction of numbers of houses

491
00:32:13,039 –> 00:32:16,759
or properties of apparent innocent landlords or people who may

492
00:32:16,839 –> 00:32:19,880
not have direct connection with the crime. It may be

493
00:32:19,920 –> 00:32:23,440
recalled the early twenty twenty five, the governor demolished a

494
00:32:23,519 –> 00:32:27,440
residential property on College Road simply because it was linked

495
00:32:27,480 –> 00:32:31,440
to a kidnapping gang operating in the Aduawa Eyan and

496
00:32:31,519 –> 00:32:34,920
benin Auchi rode by Pass axis, even when the building

497
00:32:35,000 –> 00:32:38,519
belonged to a woman based in Italy, just that her brother,

498
00:32:38,839 –> 00:32:43,079
ossamede Asimota, the alleged key leader of the gang, allegedly

499
00:32:43,200 –> 00:32:46,279
used it to coordinate abductions. This is just one of

500
00:32:46,359 –> 00:32:50,440
many properties demolished by the Edo State government over kidnapping

501
00:32:50,480 –> 00:32:54,000
in the state. Yet records of kidnappings in the state

502
00:32:54,119 –> 00:32:57,839
continued to grow higher, and recent police and military arrests

503
00:32:57,839 –> 00:33:01,599
indicated that Edo’s state is perhaps under siege of foreign

504
00:33:01,720 –> 00:33:05,079
invaders who may have taken over larger part of the

505

state forest to co ordinate kidnappings in the state. While

506
00:33:08,599 –> 00:33:11,480
working with some of the local residents to perpetuate the

507
00:33:11,519 –> 00:33:15,160
criminal act. It may be interesting to note that another

508
00:33:15,200 –> 00:33:17,839
set of non indigens of the state arrested by the

509
00:33:17,839 –> 00:33:22,640
police recently included two persons caught inside the Specialist Hospital

510
00:33:22,640 –> 00:33:25,119
in Auchi. The two suspects, who were said to be

511
00:33:25,200 –> 00:33:27,759
non indigenes of the state, were among the gang of

512
00:33:27,880 –> 00:33:31,720
kidnappers behind the abduction of doctor Abu babtun Day, who

513
00:33:31,799 –> 00:33:35,640
regained his freedom after his family reportedly paid a sum

514
00:33:35,680 –> 00:33:39,119
of fifty million nairas ransom. After the doctor and his

515
00:33:39,240 –> 00:33:43,279
younger brother were abducted on January second, twenty twenty six

516
00:33:43,720 –> 00:33:46,359
while opening the gate to their residence the Long City

517
00:33:46,440 –> 00:33:51,319
Pride Road, Higbia, camp Auchi and unfortunately, the younger brother

518
00:33:51,440 –> 00:33:55,000
was later found dead on January fifth near the Auley River,

519
00:33:55,200 –> 00:33:58,799
Long City Pride Road, with police suspecting he was killed

520
00:33:58,799 –> 00:34:02,400
by the abductors. And the alleged illegal settlers who confess

521
00:34:02,480 –> 00:34:06,240
the Ugbohadipo as their facilitator, are said to be non

522
00:34:06,359 –> 00:34:10,760
Nigerians from foreign countries. According to one of the vigilantes

523
00:34:10,760 –> 00:34:14,280
who court the illegal settlers, the arrested illegal settlers in

524
00:34:14,320 –> 00:34:17,920
the forest will be taken to the station. The vigilante

525
00:34:17,920 –> 00:34:21,719
member also said the illegal settlers are not Nigerians and

526
00:34:21,920 –> 00:34:24,840
close watches said people are brought in and smuggled into

527
00:34:25,039 –> 00:34:28,159
Edo forests to legally and such people may be responsible

528
00:34:28,199 –> 00:34:32,079
for the act of kidnapping in the state. Available records

529
00:34:32,079 –> 00:34:35,519
indicated that the kidnapping situation in the state is currently

530
00:34:35,559 –> 00:34:38,679
happening almost daily, with numbers of the state residents and

531
00:34:38,760 –> 00:34:42,239
Indo genes also recorded dead or killed by kidnappers since

532
00:34:42,320 –> 00:34:46,239
Governor Monday ok Pepolo came into power. On the recent

533
00:34:46,320 –> 00:34:49,559
arrest of two suspects at the Specialist Hospital in Auchi,

534
00:34:49,920 –> 00:34:54,440
the Edo State Command Public Relations Officer Eno Ichiodom the

535
00:34:54,519 –> 00:34:58,119
first breakthrough came on the third of February twenty twenty six,

536
00:34:58,480 –> 00:35:01,440
operatives of the Auchi Division. In this write up, a

537
00:35:01,519 –> 00:35:06,000
legal practitioner in Joku Dude in Joku pinpoints and fundamentals

538
00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:10,079
in the judgment passed against Marzi Namdi Kanu by Justice

539
00:35:10,159 –> 00:35:14,559
James Amitosho which convicted and sentenced the Bafra Republic agitation

540
00:35:14,760 –> 00:35:17,880
leader to life imprisonment and in this press release the

541
00:35:17,960 –> 00:35:22,079
legal practitioner issued in late twenty twenty five entitled the

542
00:35:22,119 –> 00:35:25,800
twenty fourth of November twenty twenty five, the day evidence

543
00:35:25,840 –> 00:35:30,679
ceased to matter in Nigerian courts. Judicial silence, selective justice

544
00:35:30,880 –> 00:35:36,679
and media complicity described Justice Armaitosho as unprofessional, stating that

545
00:35:36,719 –> 00:35:40,039
the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered by Justice

546
00:35:40,159 –> 00:35:43,360
James Komatosho is not merely that it reached a fore

547
00:35:43,480 –> 00:35:46,960
ordained conclusion, but that it did so by deliberately suppressing

548
00:35:47,079 –> 00:35:50,360
evidence he already admitted on record in his own court,

549
00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:54,840
thereby converting a judication into a procedural facade. This was

550
00:35:54,880 –> 00:35:57,159
not an error of law or an oversight of fact.

551
00:35:57,719 –> 00:36:01,320
It was a calculated refusal to engage with material evidence

552
00:36:01,360 –> 00:36:05,880
whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution’s narrative, and

553
00:36:06,000 –> 00:36:09,480
paysing that this case is no longer about one man.

554
00:36:09,880 –> 00:36:13,599
It is about whether courts may openly disregard admitted evidence

555
00:36:13,639 –> 00:36:16,760
and still be treated as legitimate, and whether the media

556
00:36:16,840 –> 00:36:20,760
will continue to mask such conduct through silence. A judiciary

557
00:36:20,760 –> 00:36:24,239
that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased to function

558
00:36:24,360 –> 00:36:26,960
as a court of law. A media that refuses to

559
00:36:27,039 –> 00:36:31,559
question that silence has abdicated its public duty. Together, they

560
00:36:31,599 –> 00:36:36,079
place the rule of law itself in existential peril. Continuing

561
00:36:36,440 –> 00:36:40,559
in details, in Joku said, once evidence is admitted, it

562
00:36:40,639 –> 00:36:46,199
binds the judge absolutely. The conduct, protest, silence, or alleged

563
00:36:46,199 –> 00:36:50,280
boycott of the defendant Marzi Namdi Kanno is legally irrelevant

564
00:36:50,320 –> 00:36:54,400
to that obligation. Judgment writing is not a negotiation with

565
00:36:54,440 –> 00:36:58,559
the accused. It is a solitary judicial duty anchored exclusively

566
00:36:58,599 –> 00:37:02,800
to the evidentiary record. A judge may reject defense evidence,

567
00:37:03,119 –> 00:37:06,639
but he must first confront it, evaluate it, and explain

568
00:37:06,719 –> 00:37:11,920
why it is rejected. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is suppression.

569
00:37:12,239 –> 00:37:16,599
Had Justice Homitosho evaluated the admitted video exhibit of Theophilis

570
00:37:16,760 –> 00:37:20,280
t y Danjuma, he would have been confronted with the

571
00:37:20,280 –> 00:37:24,519
inescapable reality that public calls for communities to harm themselves

572
00:37:24,559 –> 00:37:27,960
in self defense against murderous violence were not unique to

573
00:37:28,039 –> 00:37:32,639
Namdi Krnu nor criminalized when made by powerful establishment figures.

574
00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:36,519
Proper evaluation would have compelled the court to accept that

575
00:37:36,679 –> 00:37:40,000
Krnu’s calls for guns and bullets in Los Angeles, USA

576
00:37:40,360 –> 00:37:44,159
or during broadcasts were framed as community self defense against

577
00:37:44,199 –> 00:37:47,960
the ravages of armed Fulani killer herders, not incitement to

578
00:37:48,039 –> 00:37:53,239
lawless violence. Had Justice Homitosho evaluated the admitted video evidence

579
00:37:53,280 –> 00:37:57,119
of Governor Hope Uzodenbah, he would have known because uz

580
00:37:57,159 –> 00:38:00,639
Odamer stated it publicly that neither Namdi Karo nor the

581
00:38:00,719 –> 00:38:04,159
IPOB had any hand in the killing of Hmed Gulak.

582
00:38:04,960 –> 00:38:08,039
That single evaluation would have punctured one of the most

583
00:38:08,039 –> 00:38:13,760
politically weaponized allegations surrounding this case. Had Justice Omatosha listened

584
00:38:13,800 –> 00:38:18,119
to his fellow Yoruba kinsman and Nigeria’s Intelligence Chief Adeola

585
00:38:18,199 –> 00:38:22,199
olawatos and Ajai, whose statements were also admitted in evidence,

586
00:38:22,599 –> 00:38:24,960
he would have been forced to acknowledge that the formation

587
00:38:25,079 –> 00:38:28,920
of armed vigilante groups for community defense was openly endorsed

588
00:38:28,920 –> 00:38:32,119
at the highest levels. Day after, the Edo State Commissioner

589
00:38:32,119 –> 00:38:36,639
of Police, Monday Agbonka personally led troops of joint security

590
00:38:36,679 –> 00:38:39,400
operatives at the dead of the knight to launch offensive

591
00:38:39,480 –> 00:38:43,760
attacks against kidnappers in the forest. The Commander four Brigade

592
00:38:43,800 –> 00:38:48,159
of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Armed Balagan, also personally

593
00:38:48,239 –> 00:38:52,239
led troops of joint security operatives to the kidnappers hideouts

594
00:38:52,239 –> 00:38:56,840
and launched massive military clearance and offensive actions against kidnappers.

595
00:38:57,239 –> 00:39:00,239
Both security operations led to the arrest of serin eral

596
00:39:00,280 –> 00:39:04,639
suspected kidnappers allegedly caught in the act inside the bush,

597
00:39:04,679 –> 00:39:08,239
with the identities of the arrested suspects indicating that most

598
00:39:08,280 –> 00:39:11,400
of the kidnappers terrorizing Edo’s State are from the far

599
00:39:11,559 –> 00:39:15,440
northern part of Nigeria, an observation which appeared to have

600
00:39:15,519 –> 00:39:19,760
challenged the public policy statement made earlier in January twenty

601
00:39:19,840 –> 00:39:23,960
twenty six by the Edo State Governor, Monday Ocapolo, who

602
00:39:24,039 –> 00:39:27,280
stated that many of those involved in the kidnapping surge

603
00:39:27,360 –> 00:39:30,480
in Edo’s State are inder genes of the area, saying

604
00:39:30,880 –> 00:39:34,199
that maybe the reasons some kidnappers wear space masks. The

605
00:39:34,239 –> 00:39:37,280
governor made this statement as kidnapping in the state appeared

606
00:39:37,280 –> 00:39:40,559
to have become worse in twenty twenty six and very rampant,

607
00:39:40,639 –> 00:39:43,320
in a manner that indicated that an average of one

608
00:39:43,400 –> 00:39:46,360
to two persons of being kidnapped in a day in

609
00:39:46,559 –> 00:39:50,360
Edo’s State, as more than sixty persons became new victims

610
00:39:50,400 –> 00:39:53,800
of the increasing criminal activities in the state since the

611
00:39:53,840 –> 00:39:58,000
beginning of twenty twenty six. Like in January second, twenty

612
00:39:58,039 –> 00:40:02,280
twenty six, two brothers doctor Abu Ibrahem babitton Day, a

613
00:40:02,360 –> 00:40:06,199
medical doctor on housemanship, and Abu Tahir, a fresh graduate,

614
00:40:06,239 –> 00:40:08,920
were kidnapped at the gate of their residence along City

615
00:40:08,960 –> 00:40:13,639
Pride Road, Higbira, Cambinauchi. The kidnappers initially demanded the two

616
00:40:13,800 –> 00:40:18,280
hundred million nairas ransom and tragically, on January fifth, one

617
00:40:18,320 –> 00:40:21,559
of the two brothers was found dead. On January ninth,

618
00:40:21,679 –> 00:40:25,280
twenty twenty six, eight indigenes of a Moga community in

619
00:40:25,360 –> 00:40:29,639
the Arcoco Edolocal government area of the state were abducted

620
00:40:29,679 –> 00:40:32,880
from a hotel along a Billow road. Since the start

621
00:40:32,920 –> 00:40:36,960
of twenty twenty six, Edo State has experienced a significant

622
00:40:37,000 –> 00:40:41,280
surge in kidnappings, leading to widespread protests at Dicpoma in

623
00:40:41,320 –> 00:40:46,079
the Edo Central Senatorial Zone, with multiple police rescue operations,

624
00:40:46,079 –> 00:40:50,840
including the incidents reported early February twenty twenty six, where

625
00:40:50,880 –> 00:40:54,920
police rescued nine victims, including five children, and a separate

626
00:40:54,960 –> 00:40:59,239
group of fourteen victims. This is that earlier, on January

627
00:40:59,239 –> 00:41:03,760
twenty second, twenty six, a farmer named Monday Adero was

628
00:41:03,840 –> 00:41:07,719
kidnapped and later rescued, and in late January, another farmer,

629
00:41:07,920 –> 00:41:11,360
Abraham Moodwer and his two wives Brinda and Anna were

630
00:41:11,400 –> 00:41:15,599
abducted from aguro A Mende community but successfully rescued by

631
00:41:15,719 –> 00:41:19,719
security forces. In mid January, A K. Favour and a

632
00:41:19,760 –> 00:41:24,519
former student union leader were kidnapped in Edo Central. Troubled

633
00:41:24,519 –> 00:41:27,880
by the surge in kidnapping in the state, residents and

634
00:41:27,960 –> 00:41:32,960
students of Ambrose Ali University AAU staged a major protest

635
00:41:33,159 –> 00:41:38,199
on January tenth, twenty twenty six, citing daily kidnappings and

636
00:41:38,320 –> 00:41:42,159
the abduction of a university professor and numerous students. On

637
00:41:42,239 –> 00:41:45,800
February second, twenty twenty six, a family of nine was

638
00:41:45,800 –> 00:41:49,920
ambushed to echo abeku elloa road in Ovia Northeast Local

639
00:41:50,000 –> 00:41:53,840
government area, and the kidnappers demanded a two hundred sixty

640
00:41:53,960 –> 00:41:57,639
million niers ransom for four children and two women still

641
00:41:57,760 –> 00:42:00,920
held after five others were rescued. Prostras who are on
