by the military authority to make the killer soldier face

full wrath of the law, adding that the corpse of

her husband has been in the mortuaries since the incident

16
00:00:57,520 –> 00:01:01,560
occurred on February fourteen, twenty two twenties. Earlier day after

17
00:01:01,640 –> 00:01:05,200
President Donald Trump of the United States of America, the

18

second in command of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,

20
00:01:12,680 –> 00:01:16,920
isis in a joint operation with Nigeria soldiers. In Borno State,

21
00:01:17,319 –> 00:01:20,480
a new video of the abducted four hundred and sixteen

22
00:01:20,560 –> 00:01:24,640
women and children in Boco harm captivity has been released,

23
00:01:24,680 –> 00:01:28,680
in addition to Agori video earlier released by the terrorists,

24
00:01:28,719 –> 00:01:32,560
wherein they beheaded almost six men who the insurgents said

25
00:01:32,680 –> 00:01:36,159
tried to escape among the kidnapped victims. This had led

26
00:01:36,200 –> 00:01:40,120
to public outcry and demonstrations, but according to Punch newspaper,

27
00:01:40,359 –> 00:01:43,799
protesters are reportedly denied the rights to protest in Maidaguri,

28
00:01:44,120 –> 00:01:48,760
the Borno State capital, saying the army reportedly deployed tanks

29
00:01:48,799 –> 00:01:52,159
and heavily armed personnel to filling Polo, the venue of

30
00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:56,719
the recent planned protest, forcing the demonstrators to withdraw. Quoting

31
00:01:56,760 –> 00:02:01,239
Somala Kaigama, leader of the protesters, it may not be

32
00:02:01,280 –> 00:02:05,120
wrong to say one of the major root causes of crimes, poverty,

33
00:02:05,599 –> 00:02:09,800
poor health care, suicides, killings and avoidable deaths today in

34
00:02:09,840 –> 00:02:14,400
the world is superstitious beliefs mixed with severe psychological manipulation,

35
00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:18,439
religious and spiritual delusions that often lead to family members

36
00:02:18,479 –> 00:02:22,360
abandoning their loved ones, especially their parents, for fear of

37
00:02:22,400 –> 00:02:26,000
being bewitched, doomed, or suffered from the delusional curse or

38
00:02:26,039 –> 00:02:29,919
spells superstitiously believed had been placed on their parents or

39
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:33,039
loved ones. And this act who also lead to the

40
00:02:33,039 –> 00:02:37,840
accused family members committing suicides or being banished, beaten or

41
00:02:37,919 –> 00:02:40,919
even killed by jungle justice. And in line with the

42
00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:45,039
numerous cases documented globally and locally, we have seen where

43
00:02:45,039 –> 00:02:48,680
individuals have committed murder or caused death due to acute

44
00:02:48,719 –> 00:02:52,919
spiritual delusions which in psychiatry, these are often diagnosed as

45
00:02:53,000 –> 00:02:58,039
cases of religious psychosist schizophrenia or clinical lycanthropy where the

46
00:02:58,080 –> 00:03:02,199
perpetrator cannot separate objects reality from the family of Stephen

00:03:02,240 –> 00:03:05,199
obum Neme and Wosu has accused the Armed Forces of

48
00:03:05,280 –> 00:03:10,520
Nigeria AFN, led by General Olafemi Olidae, the Nigeria Chief

49
00:03:10,520 –> 00:03:13,439

57
00:03:38,520 –> 00:03:41,800
as demanded, saying her brother only went out with his

58
00:03:41,919 –> 00:03:45,840
friend she identified as Godwin Coco to get chicken feed

59
00:03:45,960 –> 00:03:48,840
when they encountered the soldier at the failed portion of

60
00:03:48,879 –> 00:03:53,039
the road that is currently under construction, saying the Nigerian

61
00:03:53,159 –> 00:03:56,080
Army has refused to disclose the names of the soldier

62
00:03:56,120 –> 00:03:59,479

66
00:04:10,759 –> 00:04:14,080
criminal gang terrorizing members of the public in Edo State.

67
00:04:14,520 –> 00:04:18,120
The State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agernica, who made this

68
00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:21,480
known in a press release made available a few hours ago,

69
00:04:21,920 –> 00:04:24,959
said the arrest was a major breakthrough against the suspected

70
00:04:25,040 –> 00:04:29,480
criminal elements pretending to be law enforcement offices to perpetrate

71
00:04:29,560 –> 00:04:34,319
heinous crimes within the state capitol, Benin City and its environs.

72
00:04:34,360 –> 00:04:36,759

73
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:40,519
residents in Edo State that law enforcement officers are committing

74
00:04:40,639 –> 00:04:45,160

to terrorize citizens, seizing their phones and belongings through intimidate

79
00:05:00,360 –> 00:05:04,079

several reports indicated that more than forty soldiers were killed

90
00:05:43,240 –> 00:05:46,120
during the attack, in addition to more than one hundred

91
00:05:46,199 –> 00:05:50,839

98
00:06:14,399 –> 00:06:17,519
when the Brigadier General and his troops came under the

Owen ethnic group in Edo State. This President Bola Ahmed Tanubu,

109
00:06:56,879 –> 00:07:01,040
who probably tried to avoid contradicting the state of denial

110
00:07:01,199 –> 00:07:05,759
issued by the Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN, has insisted

111
00:07:05,759 –> 00:07:09,920
that Brigadier General Assini Bramer is alive after several reports

112
00:07:09,920 –> 00:07:13,240

00:07:22,720 –> 00:07:26,759
i SWAP launched a coordinated multiple attacks on military bases

116
00:07:26,759 –> 00:07:31,279
at Pulka, backing Ruwer communities in Bosa local Government area

117
00:07:31,360 –> 00:07:35,199
and Nandi and Beneshepe communities in the Kaga local Government

118
00:07:35,319 –> 00:07:38,759
area of Borno State between the hours of ten pm

119
00:07:38,920 –> 00:07:42,720
on Wednesday night and twelve a m. On Thursday early

120
00:07:42,800 –> 00:07:47,560
morning night, killing several numbers of Nigerian soldiers overransom at

121
00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:51,920
the military basis. But the Nigeria Military authority claimed that

122
00:07:52,000 –> 00:07:55,600
Brigadier General Asseini Bramer and his troops were able to

123
00:07:55,639 –> 00:07:59,600
repel the attackers at Benieshet, saying the Brigadier general is

124
00:07:59,639 –> 00:08:03,759
alive than not dead as widely reported in Nigeria, President

125
00:08:04,120 –> 00:08:07,399
bolahmed To Nubu has given reasons why he could not

126
00:08:07,519 –> 00:08:11,360
visit the Anguin Rocouba community, the scene some citizens were

127
00:08:11,360 –> 00:08:16,040
massacred by terrorists on Palm Sunday, saying upon arrival in Jos,

128
00:08:16,319 –> 00:08:20,160
the visit encountered some logistical challenges. While the road distance

129
00:08:20,279 –> 00:08:23,839
from the airport to Joss township is approximately forty minutes,

130
00:08:24,199 –> 00:08:26,759
the runway does not support night flights due to the

131
00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:30,759
absence of navigational aids. The constraints made it unfeasible to

132
00:08:30,839 –> 00:08:33,960
drive into town, meet victims for on the spot assessment

133
00:08:34,039 –> 00:08:37,799
and return to the airport before dusk. Consequently, state and

134
00:08:37,879 –> 00:08:42,039
federal officials decided to bring representatives of the affected community

135
00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:45,039
to a hall adjoining the airport so the President could

136
00:08:45,080 –> 00:08:49,360
meet with them promptly while adhering to flight restrictions swiftly.

137
00:08:49,639 –> 00:08:52,799
Peter Obey, former governor of a Nambra State and the

138
00:08:52,879 –> 00:08:57,559
Labour Party presidential candidate in the last general elections in Nigeria,

139
00:08:58,080 –> 00:09:02,279

143
00:09:13,480 –> 00:09:15,840
he was told to go and collect the dead body

144
00:09:15,879 –> 00:09:18,440
of his sibling on the phone by the attackers who

145
00:09:18,519 –> 00:09:21,639
on Wednesday were seen in a viral video that mobbed

146
00:09:21,679 –> 00:09:24,399
and stoned his sibling almost to death at an ever

147
00:09:24,480 –> 00:09:29,080
busy road near the permanent site of the University of Joss. Accordingly,

148
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:32,000
he said the victim, who happened to be his younger sibling,

149
00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:35,559
is also a three hundred level student in the Department

150
00:09:35,639 –> 00:09:39,519

151
00:09:39,679 –> 00:09:42,480
younger sibling only went out around eight or nine on

152
00:09:42,559 –> 00:09:45,600
Wednesday morning to resolve issue with his bank account at

153
00:09:45,679 –> 00:09:48,320
