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 –> 00:00:24,519
Agitation leader Marzi Nandi Carno. But according to the organizer

7
00:00:24,559 –> 00:00:28,640
of the protest, Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined

8
00:00:28,679 –> 00:00:31,920
to grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion

9
00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:35,560
to stop the planned protest in the open court, the

10
00:00:35,560 –> 00:00:39,600
Federal High Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion

11
00:00:39,799 –> 00:00:43,479
in 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 disructions 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 –> 00:02:14,560
the protest convener, Omiyele Saware affirmed the court’s decision as

34
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:17,199
a victory for civil liberties and doubled down on the

35
00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:21,199
scheduled protest. In a statement issued on his ex handle

36
00:02:21,280 –> 00:02:26,560
on Friday. Following the ruling, Suware said Igo Police Nigeria

37
00:02:26,919 –> 00:02:30,599
Coyode Eggbato Can dispatched police lawyers to sue me 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 –> 00:02:54,560
The demonstration, organized under the hashtag free Namdicanuno, is intended

44
00:02:54,599 –> 00:02:57,639
to draw attention to the prolonged detention and legal fate

45
00:02:57,680 –> 00:03:03,080
of Karno. Whenever controverl surround Rufiya Sane, the outspoken and

46
00:03:03,120 –> 00:03:07,599
fearless broadcaster on a Rise Television, one recurring argument often

47
00:03:07,639 –> 00:03:11,960
resurfaces in public discourse the claim that Rufaiya Sani is

48
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:15,039
not a journalist. Critics are quick to emphasize that he

49
00:03:15,159 –> 00:03:19,719
lacks a formal academic background in journalism, having originally trained

50
00:03:19,759 –> 00:03:23,560
in animal anatomy, but beyond the semantics of qualification, a

51
00:03:23,599 –> 00:03:27,759
deeper question emerges, what truly defines a journalist and what

52
00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:31,560
are the core functions of journalism in society. As mass

53
00:03:31,560 –> 00:03:35,639
communication teacher, we teach students from the very first class

54
00:03:35,680 –> 00:03:39,960
that the media exists to inform, educate, entertain, and preserve

55
00:03:40,080 –> 00:03:44,680
cultural heritage. Journalists also play the crucial roles of agenda

56
00:03:44,800 –> 00:03:48,960
setting and acting as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable, and

57
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:53,039
amplifying the voices of the governed. The media’s capacity to

58
00:03:53,080 –> 00:03:57,759
shape national conversations is immense. By highlighting specific issues and

59
00:03:57,840 –> 00:04:02,520
giving them prominence, journalists raise awareness and influence public perception.

60
00:04:03,360 –> 00:04:06,639
It is through such a gender setting functions that societies

61
00:04:06,680 –> 00:04:11,919
engage in dialogue, debate, and reform, thereby playing participatory role

62
00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:16,360
in the process of governance. When examined through this functional lens,

63
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:20,480
it becomes clear that Rufai Sany has consistently fulfilled these

64
00:04:20,560 –> 00:04:26,800
journalistic responsibilities over the years. His incisive questioning, fearless commentary,

65
00:04:27,120 –> 00:04:30,240
and commitment to public accountability have made him one of

66
00:04:30,279 –> 00:04:35,759
the most recognizable broadcast personalities in contemporary Nigerian media. A

67
00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:39,240
notable example is his now famous exchange with the Minister

68
00:04:39,360 –> 00:04:44,199
of Works Engineer Dave Yumahi on a Rise television. Before

69
00:04:44,240 –> 00:04:48,439
that encounter, few Nigerians had publicly interrogated the cost per

70
00:04:48,519 –> 00:04:53,920
kilometer of road construction projects executed by government agencies. While

71
00:04:53,920 –> 00:04:58,839
the minister initially dismissed Rufie’s questioners elementary, the issue soon

72
00:04:58,959 –> 00:05:04,800
gained traction nation. In fact, subsequent clarifications by Yumihi and

73
00:05:04,920 –> 00:05:08,920
even a public response by Oyo State Governor Saying Markinde,

74
00:05:09,079 –> 00:05:12,839
demonstrated that Assan’s line of questioning had forced an important

75
00:05:12,839 –> 00:05:18,480
accountability conversation into the mainstream. Through this singular act, Rufi

76
00:05:18,560 –> 00:05:22,480
did what the media are mandated to do, hold power accountable,

77
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:27,160
enlighten the public, and stimulate civic engagement. It is true

78
00:05:27,199 –> 00:05:30,600
that a formal qualification, such as a diploma or degree

79
00:05:30,639 –> 00:05:35,639
in journalism, is generally considered a prerequisite for professional practice,

80
00:05:35,839 –> 00:05:39,839
Yet history tells a different story about the Nigerian press.

81
00:05:40,319 –> 00:05:44,560
Many of the country’s most celebrated media pioneers, from Herbert

82
00:05:44,600 –> 00:05:49,000
mcaulay to Ernest A. Collie, namdiazeki Way and Obefemi Awoloo,

83
00:05:49,439 –> 00:05:54,519
were not trained journalists in the academic sense. Nevertheless, through passion,

84
00:05:54,839 –> 00:05:59,720
intellect and experience, they became towering that Nigerian Army authority

85
00:05:59,759 –> 00:06:04,079
has issued a statement denying threat messages issued against members

86
00:06:04,120 –> 00:06:07,199
of the public ahead of the plan mass protests slated

87
00:06:07,240 –> 00:06:10,560
for October twentieth, twenty twenty five, to demand for the

88
00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:14,560
release and freedom of the detained Biafa Republic agitation leader

89
00:06:15,079 –> 00:06:18,759
Marzi Namdi Kanu, just as the organizer and chief campaigner,

90
00:06:18,959 –> 00:06:23,079
Omiele Saware, the publisher of sahah Reporters news media, met

91
00:06:23,079 –> 00:06:26,639
to seek understanding with the former President of Nigeria, good

92
00:06:26,720 –> 00:06:30,720
Luck of Bele Jonathan, who, according to Saware, promised to

93
00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:34,560
visit President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu to discuss the issue with him.

94
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:39,120
Nigerian Army, in a statement on Friday, said the attention

95
00:06:39,240 –> 00:06:42,480
of the Nigerian Army Enne has been drawn to a

96
00:06:42,480 –> 00:06:46,800
misleading publication by Sahara Reporters alleging that a Facebook page

97
00:06:46,839 –> 00:06:51,199
purportedly operated by military personnel issued veiled threats against certain

98
00:06:51,240 –> 00:06:55,839
individuals ahead of a planned October twentieth protest. The report

99
00:06:55,920 –> 00:06:58,879
is not only false, but a deliberate attempt to misinform

100
00:06:58,959 –> 00:07:02,759
the public and discredit the noble institution of the Nigerian Army.

101
00:07:03,480 –> 00:07:06,839
For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian Army has only

102
00:07:06,879 –> 00:07:11,240
two official social media handles, namely at hqan Nigerian Army

103
00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:14,560
and at Nigerian Army Info, which are duly verified on

104
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:19,920
Facebook x formerly Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Any other page

105
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:23,480
or account outside these verified handles does not belong to

106
00:07:23,519 –> 00:07:26,879
the Nigerian Army and should be disregarded in its entirety.

107
00:07:27,639 –> 00:07:30,920
It is pertinent to state that certain civilians and online

108
00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:35,279
content creators now operate pages that post military related contents

109
00:07:35,319 –> 00:07:39,160
purely for the purpose of generating online traffic and monetary gain.

110
00:07:40,040 –> 00:07:44,000
Such pages have no affiliation whatsoever with the Nigerian Army.

111
00:07:44,399 –> 00:07:49,040
The NA therefore dissociates itself completely from any post statement

112
00:07:49,439 –> 00:07:54,360
or activity emanating from these unauthorized sources. The Nigerian Army

113
00:07:54,439 –> 00:07:58,639
remains a professional, disciplined, and a political institution committed to

114
00:07:58,680 –> 00:08:01,800
the defense and unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

115
00:08:02,560 –> 00:08:07,199
In the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities. The NA continues

116
00:08:07,240 –> 00:08:11,000
to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, adherence to the

117
00:08:11,079 –> 00:08:15,000
rule of law, and respect for human rights. The general

118
00:08:15,040 –> 00:08:18,759
public and media practitioners are hereby enjoined to verify all

119
00:08:18,839 –> 00:08:23,360
information concerning the Nigerian Army only through its official platforms.

120
00:08:23,439 –> 00:08:27,920
Or the Directorate of Army Public Relations before publication or dissemination.

121
00:08:28,800 –> 00:08:32,799
The Nigerian Army therefore urges Sahara reporters and other media

122
00:08:32,840 –> 00:08:36,879
outlets to exercise due diligence in verifying the authenticity of

123
00:08:36,919 –> 00:08:40,039
their sources to avoid the spread of falsehood capable of

124
00:08:40,080 –> 00:08:45,120
misleading the public and undermining national security. Amile Saware, in

125
00:08:45,159 –> 00:08:49,000
a statement made available through his personal social media accounts

126
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:53,279
on Friday, said that earlier today in Abuja, I met

127
00:08:53,320 –> 00:08:57,000
with former President good Luck Jonathan to discuss the continued incast.

128
00:08:57,120 –> 00:09:01,240
President Bola Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation

129
00:09:01,399 –> 00:09:06,360
of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Jeffrey uchen Naji,

130
00:09:06,399 –> 00:09:09,200
who had been accused of forging the degree certificate of

131
00:09:09,240 –> 00:09:12,840
the University of Nigeria in Succa and the certificate of

132
00:09:12,919 –> 00:09:16,320
completion of service for the one year mandatory National Youth

133
00:09:16,399 –> 00:09:21,159
Service Corps NYSC after he allegedly failed an exit course

134
00:09:21,559 –> 00:09:27,080
virology repeatedly at the University Nigeria. Presidency, in a statement

135
00:09:27,159 –> 00:09:30,919
made available a few minutes ago by the presidential spokesperson,

136
00:09:31,480 –> 00:09:36,679
Veo Onanuga, stated that President Bolahamed Tanubu has accepted the

137
00:09:36,720 –> 00:09:41,080
resignation of Jeffri Uchen Naji, the Minister of Innovation, Science

138
00:09:41,200 –> 00:09:46,960
and Technology, following some allegations against him. President Tanubu appointed

139
00:09:47,039 –> 00:09:50,639
Naji in August twenty twenty three. He resigned today in

140
00:09:50,679 –> 00:09:54,120
a letter thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria.

141
00:09:54,919 –> 00:09:57,720
Naji said he has been a target of blackmail by

142
00:09:57,759 –> 00:10:02,200
political opponents, and Tlubu thanked him for his service and

143
00:10:02,279 –> 00:10:07,519
wished him well in future endeavors. Earlier, Nigeria State controlled

144
00:10:07,559 –> 00:10:12,519
Media NTA had reported that the Minister of Innovation, Science

145
00:10:12,600 –> 00:10:17,200
and Technology, huch Jeffrey Naji, has dismissed reports questioning his

146
00:10:17,279 –> 00:10:22,080
academic qualifications, describing him as politically motivated attempts to tarnish

147
00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:26,320
his image. The minister has firmly defended the authenticity of

148
00:10:26,360 –> 00:10:31,840
his University of Nigeria insuk A degree. Speaking through his spokesperson,

149
00:10:32,320 –> 00:10:36,759
doctor Robert n g Wu, the minister said records from

150
00:10:36,879 –> 00:10:40,919
UNN confirm he graduated in July nineteen eighty five with

151
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:45,879
a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second Class Honors,

152
00:10:46,240 –> 00:10:51,399
Lower Division. He described recent reports denying his graduation as false,

153
00:10:51,720 –> 00:10:56,000
malicious and politically driven, alleging that the controversy began after

154
00:10:56,039 –> 00:11:00,960
opposition figures took key positions within the university. Niji revealed

155
00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:04,080
that the Federal High Court in Abuja has issued protective

156
00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:07,759
orders restraining the university from tampering with his records and

157
00:11:07,840 –> 00:11:12,679
directing the release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming his focus

158
00:11:12,720 –> 00:11:16,320
on national service, the minister said no amount of political

159
00:11:16,360 –> 00:11:20,240
blackmail or media trial will distract him from advancing innovation

160
00:11:20,399 –> 00:11:24,879
and technology in Nigeria. He urged the University of Nigeria

161
00:11:24,960 –> 00:11:28,320
to uphold its motto to restore the dignity of man

162
00:11:28,600 –> 00:11:32,519
and resist being used for partisan purposes. In a swift

163
00:11:32,559 –> 00:11:37,399
reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State Government denied sponsoring allegations of

164
00:11:37,480 –> 00:11:42,600
certificate forgery against the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology,

165
00:11:42,879 –> 00:11:46,639
Chief Fuche Naji, urging him to carry his cross and

166
00:11:46,799 –> 00:11:51,000
clear his name before Nigerians. The government in a press

167
00:11:51,039 –> 00:11:54,159
statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the Director of

168
00:11:54,240 –> 00:11:58,799
Information in the Ministry of Princess Ola Torrera Maje Kadumynru

169
00:11:58,879 –> 00:12:01,639
from Ogan State and the UK Commonwealth Award winner who

170
00:12:01,679 –> 00:12:04,759
is currently pursuing a Master degree in Law has called

171
00:12:04,799 –> 00:12:07,879
on the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of

172
00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:12,240
President Bola Hahmed Tanubu, to immediately release the detained Biafra

173
00:12:12,320 –> 00:12:17,639
Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikranu, stating in a statement personally

174
00:12:17,799 –> 00:12:21,519
signed and made available to Media Newsroom on Monday, that

175
00:12:21,879 –> 00:12:25,440
ten years of detention without conviction is a grave violation

176
00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:30,320
of the fundamental human rights of Marzi Namdikrnu specifically stated

177
00:12:30,440 –> 00:12:35,480
verbatim that the continued detention of mister Karlu without conviction

178
00:12:35,679 –> 00:12:38,639
is not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound

179
00:12:38,679 –> 00:12:42,039
failure of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental

180
00:12:42,120 –> 00:12:46,279
human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between

181
00:12:46,440 –> 00:12:51,440
Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We

182
00:12:51,519 –> 00:12:54,240
must have a justice system that acts with both fairness

183
00:12:54,279 –> 00:12:58,320
and decisive strength, not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo

184
00:12:58,360 –> 00:13:02,919
and mired in public distrust. According to the Princess, across

185
00:13:02,919 –> 00:13:06,720
the span of a decade, Marzi Namdikru has endured one

186
00:13:06,759 –> 00:13:09,799
of the longest and most troubling pre trial detentions in

187
00:13:09,960 –> 00:13:15,720
Nigeria’s history. Arrested in twenty fifteen, accused pleading not guilty

188
00:13:16,039 –> 00:13:19,759
and never convicted, he remains confined in a blatant defiance

189
00:13:19,799 –> 00:13:24,279
of the most fundamental human rights principles. Whereas justice when

190
00:13:24,320 –> 00:13:28,159
a man stands unconvicted for ten years, while those charged

191
00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:32,879
with upholding justice remains silent. The continued detention of mister

192
00:13:33,399 –> 00:13:37,000
Karnu without conviction is not merely a legal anomaly. It

193
00:13:37,080 –> 00:13:40,000
is a profound failure of justice and a grave violation

194
00:13:40,159 –> 00:13:44,759
of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the

195
00:13:44,759 –> 00:13:49,799
widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities

196
00:13:49,840 –> 00:13:53,519
of citizens. We must have a justice system that acts

197
00:13:53,559 –> 00:13:56,960
with both fairness and decisive strength, not one ensnared in

198
00:13:57,120 –> 00:14:01,840
endless procedural limbo ad mired in public destruct. No charge,

199
00:14:02,080 –> 00:14:05,879
however grave, should ever eclipse the principle that every individual

200
00:14:05,960 –> 00:14:10,120
is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That principle is the

201
00:14:10,240 –> 00:14:13,960
very cornerstone of law and must never be broken, regardless

202
00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:17,840
of who holds power. As we call for Marsi Namnikano’s

203
00:14:17,879 –> 00:14:21,720
immediate and unconditional freedom, my heart goes out to millions

204
00:14:21,759 –> 00:14:27,600
of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations, and economic classes from

205
00:14:27,600 –> 00:14:30,759
Buenau to Kwara to Legos, crying out for help against

206
00:14:30,919 –> 00:14:37,039
armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions, untimely deaths, and

207
00:14:37,120 –> 00:14:42,120
the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities. Beyond politics,

208
00:14:42,480 –> 00:14:46,639
every life matters. Marzi Namlikanu’s health and spirit are at

209
00:14:46,720 –> 00:14:50,759
grave risk after ten years behind bars without a proven crime.

210
00:14:51,559 –> 00:14:56,360
This declaration is an urgent proclamation. We will Cavolodomir Zelenski,

211
00:14:56,639 –> 00:14:59,679
the President of Ukraine, may have given a clearer picture

212
00:14:59,679 –> 00:15:02,879
on how some companies are apparently aiding and making more

213
00:15:02,919 –> 00:15:06,360
money from the ongoing war in his country Ukraine, saying

214
00:15:06,840 –> 00:15:09,440
since the start of the war four years ago, some

215
00:15:09,600 –> 00:15:19,480
unnamed companies in the United States, US, United Kingdom, uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan,

216
00:15:19,919 –> 00:15:25,200
Korea Republic, Netherlands are producing components. Russia, under President Vladimir

217
00:15:25,240 –> 00:15:28,960
Putin is using to produce weapons of mass destruction to

218
00:15:29,039 –> 00:15:32,799
kill his people. This Zelensky, in his own words, said

219
00:15:32,919 –> 00:15:35,840
on Monday that in the fourth year of the full

220
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:40,039
scale war, Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons.

221
00:15:40,519 –> 00:15:43,519
During the massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night

222
00:15:43,559 –> 00:15:47,279
of October fifth, Russia used five hundred and forty nine

223
00:15:47,399 –> 00:15:51,799
weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand, seven hundred

224
00:15:51,799 –> 00:15:55,559
and eighty five foreign made components from companies in the

225
00:15:55,720 –> 00:16:01,679
United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,

226
00:16:02,039 –> 00:16:06,200
the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand,

227
00:16:06,360 –> 00:16:09,399
six hundred and eighty eight of foreign made parts were

228
00:16:09,399 –> 00:16:13,080
in the launched attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred

229
00:16:13,120 –> 00:16:16,039
were in a scandas one hundred and ninety two in

230
00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:21,000
Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five in calibers. Zelensky

231
00:16:21,120 –> 00:16:24,240
stated this in a statement made available through his personal

232
00:16:24,320 –> 00:16:28,279
social media profile on Monday, after about thirty people were

233
00:16:28,279 –> 00:16:30,480
injured as a result of the Russian attack on a

234
00:16:30,559 –> 00:16:34,480
moving passenger train, killing one person in Shoshka District of

235
00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:39,600
Ukraine on Saturday. According to Zelenski, Ukraine is preparing new

236
00:16:39,679 –> 00:16:42,879
sanctions against those who help Russia and its war, and

237
00:16:42,960 –> 00:16:47,440
we have communicated proposals to curb the supply schemes. Partners

238
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:51,159
already possess the detailed data on each company and each product.

239
00:16:51,600 –> 00:16:55,120
They know what to target and how to respond. This week,

240
00:16:55,360 –> 00:16:58,519
the G seven sanctions co ordinators will meet and we

241
00:16:58,639 –> 00:17:01,799
expect a systemic decison to ensure that the sanctions are

242
00:17:01,799 –> 00:17:05,680
truly effective. It is crucial to shut down every scheme

243
00:17:05,759 –> 00:17:09,920
that circumvents sanctions, because Russia uses each one to keep killing.

244
00:17:10,640 –> 00:17:13,400
The world has the power to stop this. In the

245
00:17:13,440 –> 00:17:16,799
fourth year of the full scale war, Russia continues to

246
00:17:16,839 –> 00:17:21,759
obtain components for producing weapons. During the massive combined strike

247
00:17:21,799 –> 00:17:25,079
on Ukraine on the night of October fifth, Russia used

248
00:17:25,119 –> 00:17:29,000
five hundred and forty nine weapons systems containing one hundred

249
00:17:29,000 –> 00:17:32,559
and two thousand, seven hundred and eighty five foreign made

250
00:17:32,559 –> 00:17:36,720
components from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan,

251
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:41,920
the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea,

252
00:17:42,279 –> 00:17:46,319
and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six hundred and

253
00:17:46,400 –> 00:17:48,920
eighty eight of foreign made parts were in the launched

254
00:17:48,920 –> 00:17:52,240
attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred were in a

255
00:17:52,279 –> 00:17:56,039
scandas one hundred and two separate courts in the Nigeria

256

Ahmed Tanubu as a criminal after the President allegedly said

263
00:18:23,559 –> 00:18:26,799
there is no more corruption in Nigeria while the President

264
00:18:26,960 –> 00:18:29,319

appeared through Mefesmo Teo Yetebo sam X Corporation and the

279
00:19:43,319 –> 00:19:47,799
DSS had no council present in court proceedings. The court

280

granted motions X Party filed by Swares Council for Leaf

The originating motion against Meta was also served in court

on metas Council adjournment. The court adjourned both matters to

284
00:20:05,119 –> 00:20:10,200

285
00:20:10,559 –> 00:20:14,240
following the dss attempted censorship of Sir Ward’s social media

286
00:20:14,319 –> 00:20:18,359
post calling the President a criminal, mark a significant stand

287
00:20:18,400 –> 00:20:23,440
against both local repression and international collaboration in silencing dissenting voices.

288
00:20:24,240 –> 00:20:27,920
Sir War insists that no government agency or foreign corporation

289
00:20:28,079 –> 00:20:30,960
has the right to muzzle Nigerians in the digital space.

290
00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:35,599
Barrister Tote Temokin stated on September thirtieth, twenty twenty five

291
00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:39,440
at a separate court where the Federal Government of Nigeria

292
00:20:39,519 –> 00:20:43,119
filed a five count charges against the news media publisher

293
00:20:43,519 –> 00:20:46,799
Omiyele Saware, and the DSS had planned to arrang the

294
00:20:46,839 –> 00:20:51,279
publisher before the court. Vanguard Newspaper reported that when the

295
00:20:51,319 –> 00:20:55,519
matter came up Sware’s count information from the Nigerian presidency

296
00:20:55,599 –> 00:20:58,480
has indicated that there is a plan by President Bola

297
00:20:58,599 –> 00:21:02,240
Ahmed Tenubu to begin legal action against the country former

298
00:21:02,279 –> 00:21:06,359
President good Luck of Belelet Jonathan over sustained and continuous

299
00:21:06,440 –> 00:21:09,839
rumors in certain quarters that ex President Jonathan may have

300
00:21:10,000 –> 00:21:14,799
indicated interest to recontest as Nigeria president in twenty twenty seven.

301
00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:18,839
This the Special Advisor to President Bola Hmed Tanubu on

302
00:21:18,960 –> 00:21:23,519
Information and Strategy, BeO on Anugu, said Jonathan is welcome

303
00:21:23,640 –> 00:21:27,599
to join the twenty twenty seven presidential electoral race, but

304
00:21:27,720 –> 00:21:31,039
Jonathan will have his date in the Court of the land. Indeed,

305
00:21:31,319 –> 00:21:34,279
the jury will determine whether Jonathan, who was sworn in

306
00:21:34,319 –> 00:21:39,079
twice as president, satisfies the constitutional requirements and is eligible

307
00:21:39,160 –> 00:21:42,640
to contest the presidency and be sworn in if successful

308
00:21:43,000 –> 00:21:46,240
for a third term in office. It would be recalled

309
00:21:46,240 –> 00:21:49,400
that ex President Jonathan was one of the most criticized

310
00:21:49,440 –> 00:21:54,880
presidents in Nigeria, with politicians including President Bola Ahmed Tanubu,

311
00:21:54,960 –> 00:21:57,400
who was then a chieftain of the Action Congress of

312
00:21:57,480 –> 00:22:02,559
Nigeria ACN, forming a coalition of All Progressives Congress APC

313
00:22:02,759 –> 00:22:07,279
to defeat the incumbent president in twenty fifteen. Currently, there

314
00:22:07,359 –> 00:22:11,119
is also a coalition formed by politicians in Nigeria, the

315
00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:16,079
African Democratic Congress ADC, to defeat and remove President Tanubu

316
00:22:16,160 –> 00:22:19,920
from office in twenty twenty seven, and lately, reports indicated

317
00:22:19,960 –> 00:22:23,640
that the former President good Luck Jonathan is considering joining

318
00:22:23,720 –> 00:22:28,359
the African Democratic Congress ADC, but no official announcement has

319
00:22:28,440 –> 00:22:32,799
been made. The speculation intensified after Jonathan met with ad

320
00:22:32,920 –> 00:22:37,359
C national Chairman David Mark in late September twenty twenty five,

321
00:22:37,759 –> 00:22:42,000
amidst ongoing discussions about the twenty twenty seven presidential election,

322
00:22:42,880 –> 00:22:46,400
and Jonathan’s closed door meeting with ad C leaders on

323
00:22:46,480 –> 00:22:51,359
September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, fueled widespread speculation about

324
00:22:51,359 –> 00:22:55,200
his potential run for the presidency on their platform. In

325
00:22:55,240 –> 00:22:59,519
a statement issued on Monday, bao on Anuga, the spokesperson

326
00:22:59,559 –> 00:23:03,319
to President and Bola Ahmed Tanubu said, as we begin

327
00:23:03,400 –> 00:23:07,319
the march towards the twenty twenty seven elections, prematurely foisted

328
00:23:07,400 –> 00:23:10,680
on the nation by the desperation of the opposition ganging

329
00:23:10,759 –> 00:23:16,000
up against President Bola Tanubu despite his glaring, giant economic strides,

330
00:23:16,359 –> 00:23:19,119
we are once again regaled with a cacophony of voices,

331
00:23:19,519 –> 00:23:22,759
most of them full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

332
00:23:23,039 –> 00:23:27,880
To paraphrase inimitable Williams Shakespeare in one of his classic works, Macbeth.

333
00:23:28,680 –> 00:23:31,960
One recent statement that stands out in its absurdity is

334
00:23:32,000 –> 00:23:37,240
Professor Jerry Garners, the former Minister of Information and National Orientation,

335
00:23:37,880 –> 00:23:41,200
moving to draft former President good Luck Jonathan into the

336
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:44,920
two thousand and seven presidential race, affirmed that the former

337
00:23:44,960 –> 00:23:48,119
president would contest the coming election on the platform of

338
00:23:48,160 –> 00:23:52,960
the discredited People’s Democratic Party PDP, which between Israel Prime

339
00:23:53,000 –> 00:23:57,400
Minister Benjamin Natanyahu on Friday stated that many world leaders

340
00:23:57,440 –> 00:24:00,480
who do come out publicly to condemn the Israel war

341
00:24:00,599 –> 00:24:04,240
in Gaza to privately thank Israel for staging the war

342
00:24:04,279 –> 00:24:08,480
against Tamas, and according to Benjamin Netanyahu, the world leaders

343
00:24:08,759 –> 00:24:12,880
tell me how much they value Israel’s superb intelligence services

344
00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:16,720
that have prevented time and again terrorist attacks in their capitals,

345
00:24:17,119 –> 00:24:21,559
time and again, saving countless lives. General George Keegan, former

346
00:24:21,599 –> 00:24:25,319
head of US Air Force Intelligence, once said, if the

347
00:24:25,480 –> 00:24:28,559
United States had to gather on its own the intelligence

348
00:24:28,599 –> 00:24:31,799
that Israel gives us, we would have to establish five

349
00:24:31,880 –> 00:24:36,480
sea hires, five sea ires. This past June, when Israel

350
00:24:36,519 –> 00:24:41,319
struck Iran’s nuclear facilities, German Chancellor Mertz admitted the truth this,

351
00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:46,079
Benjamin Natanyahu stated when the speech was being broadcast live

352
00:24:46,319 –> 00:24:49,880
via huge loudspeakers that were placed on the Gaza border

353
00:24:49,960 –> 00:24:54,319
while the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking at

354
00:24:54,400 –> 00:24:58,400
the United Nations General Assembly, which his appearance drew a

355
00:24:58,440 –> 00:25:01,799
mix of applause and protest, with some delegates walking out

356
00:25:01,839 –> 00:25:04,359
of the hall as he took the stage. You know,

357
00:25:04,480 –> 00:25:07,960
deep down that Israel is fighting your fight. I want

358
00:25:08,000 –> 00:25:11,359
to tell you a secret. Behind closed doors, many of

359
00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:15,640
the leaders who publicly condemn us privately thank us, Benjamin

360
00:25:15,680 –> 00:25:21,119
Netanyaho stated. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated and

361
00:25:21,160 –> 00:25:25,039
blamed the Israel war in Gaza on Iran, saying Iran

362
00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:28,680
terror axis threatened the peace of the entire world. Some

363
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:32,480
Parts of the long speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

364
00:25:32,559 –> 00:25:36,440
at the United Nations General Assembly are presented verbatim below.

365
00:25:37,279 –> 00:25:41,480
Mister President, the families of our dear hostages languishing in

366
00:25:41,559 –> 00:25:45,799
the dungeons of Gaza, ladies and gentlemen. Last year, I

367
00:25:45,880 –> 00:25:49,319
stood at this podium and I showed this map. It

368
00:25:49,440 –> 00:25:53,319
shows the curse of Iran’s terror axis. This axis threatened

369
00:25:53,319 –> 00:25:56,720
the peace of the entire world. It threatened the stability

370
00:25:56,759 –> 00:25:59,920
of our region and the very existence of my country, Israel.

371
00:26:00,759 –> 00:26:04,599
Iran was rapidly developing a massive nuclear weapons program and

372
00:26:04,640 –> 00:26:08,680
a massive ballistic missile program. These were meant not only

373
00:26:08,759 –> 00:26:11,720
to destroy Israel, they were meant also to threaten the

374
00:26:11,839 –> 00:26:16,839
United States and blackmail nations everywhere. From Gaza Yehya Sin

375
00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:21,039
were dispatched waves of Hamas terrorists. They stormed into Israel

376
00:26:21,119 –> 00:26:26,119
on October seventh and committed acts of unspeakable savagery. From Lebanon,

377
00:26:26,480 –> 00:26:30,119
Hassan Nasralla had launched thousands of missiles and rockets at

378
00:26:30,119 –> 00:26:35,480
our cities, terrorizing our citizens. In Syria, the murderous dictator

379
00:26:35,519 –> 00:26:39,519
Hassad hosted Iran’s forces, titling a noose of death around

380
00:26:39,559 –> 00:26:44,000
our throats in Yemen. The Huthis launched ballistic missiles at

381
00:26:44,039 –> 00:26:47,119
Israel while choking global trade at the mouth of the

382
00:26:47,160 –> 00:26:50,920
Red Sea. So what’s happened over the past year? We

383
00:26:51,319 –> 00:26:54,359
Justice James Armitosho of the Federal High Court, sitting in

384
00:26:54,400 –> 00:26:58,359
Abujo on Friday rule that the detained Biafra agitation leader

385
00:26:58,880 –> 00:27:02,720
Namdi Kanu has case to answer because the Nigeria Government

386
00:27:02,759 –> 00:27:07,519
prosecution team have provided some evidence that requires explanations from

387
00:27:07,559 –> 00:27:12,160
the detained Biaffre leader. This the coordinating lawyer to Namdi Karo,

388
00:27:12,559 –> 00:27:15,720
Barrister Alloyergy mccourse, said the judgment of the court does

389
00:27:15,759 –> 00:27:19,880
not mean Namdi Kru has been pronounced guilty. Rather, the

390
00:27:19,960 –> 00:27:23,720
ruling indicated that he should give explanations to certain evidences

391
00:27:23,799 –> 00:27:27,640
the Federal Government of Nigeria brought before the court. It

392
00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:30,000
would be recalled that the ruling on the no case

393
00:27:30,000 –> 00:27:33,400
submission filed by Namdi Kano that was earlier slated to

394
00:27:33,440 –> 00:27:36,839
be held on October tenth, twenty twenty five, was abridged

395
00:27:36,880 –> 00:27:40,319
and rescheduled to Friday, the twenty sixth of September twenty

396
00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:45,599
twenty five. Justice James Omitosho also rejected request by KRNO

397
00:27:45,640 –> 00:27:48,599
to be transferred from custody of the Department of State

398
00:27:48,720 –> 00:27:52,440
Services d SS to the National Hospital Aboucha for medical

399
00:27:52,480 –> 00:27:57,920
examination over alleged deteriorating health issues. The court subsequently ordered

400
00:27:57,920 –> 00:28:01,759
the President of Nigerian Medical ass Association an M to

401
00:28:01,880 –> 00:28:06,200
constitute an investigation committee to examine Karnu’s medical condition and

402
00:28:06,240 –> 00:28:09,079
submit a report to it in eight days, following objection

403
00:28:09,240 –> 00:28:12,400
by DSS to his request to be transferred to National

404
00:28:12,480 –> 00:28:16,480
Hospital for second opinion on his health condition. We had

405
00:28:16,519 –> 00:28:19,119
earlier in the year reported that the case between the

406
00:28:19,119 –> 00:28:22,200
Federal Government of Nigeria and the detained leader of the

407
00:28:22,200 –> 00:28:26,160
Indigenous People of Biafra, Nandi Karu, apparently took a new

408
00:28:26,240 –> 00:28:29,079
technical twist after one of the lawyers of the detained

409
00:28:29,119 –> 00:28:34,200
Biafra leader, Paul rikorro Sam, presented and played three videos

410
00:28:34,240 –> 00:28:37,839
which the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, later admitted

411
00:28:37,880 –> 00:28:41,880
in evidence. The videos of former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff,

412
00:28:42,200 –> 00:28:47,119
Retired General Theophilis Danjuma, saying security operatives in the West

413
00:28:47,200 –> 00:28:51,240
Africa country, specifically the armed forces are working together with

414
00:28:51,279 –> 00:28:55,640
the armed bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing that if Nigerians

415
00:28:55,680 –> 00:28:59,119
depend on the armed forces to curb in security, they

416
00:28:59,160 –> 00:29:02,759
will all die. One also that of Governor Hope whose

417
00:29:02,799 –> 00:29:07,000
odenbur of Imho State saying politicians are behind killings in

418
00:29:07,039 –> 00:29:10,559
the state. Lastly, in the most interesting video played at

419
00:29:10,559 –> 00:29:13,680
the court to counter the testimony or statement made by

420
00:29:13,720 –> 00:29:18,480
the DSS prosecutor witness over Nandikanu led Ipo be founding

421
00:29:18,559 –> 00:29:23,200
Eastern Security Network ESN, allegedly created by group of youths

422
00:29:23,200 –> 00:29:27,279
in the Southeastern geopolitical Zone of Nigeria often referred to

423
00:29:27,359 –> 00:29:31,039
as Biafra Land to fight in self defense against Fulani

424
00:29:31,240 –> 00:29:34,720
armed bandits or terrorists that were advancing and killing people

425
00:29:34,839 –> 00:29:38,759
in the Eastern state during the era of President Mohammadu Buhari.

426
00:29:39,200 –> 00:29:41,599
Was that of the Director General of the Department of

427
00:29:41,640 –> 00:29:46,640
State Services DSS, Adeola Jai, who is apparently the government

428
00:29:46,720 –> 00:29:50,599
chief complainer in the case and the dssdg in President

429
00:29:50,640 –> 00:29:55,079
of France Emmanuel Macron and its US counterpart Donald Trump

430
00:29:55,119 –> 00:29:58,519
on Tuesday engaged in a tough talk over the recognition

431
00:29:58,599 –> 00:30:02,519
of Palestine state the Israeli War in Gaza during the

432
00:30:02,559 –> 00:30:06,359
bilateral meeting both held on the sideline of the UN

433
00:30:06,480 –> 00:30:10,799
General Assembly in New York, where the French president insisted

434
00:30:10,839 –> 00:30:14,039
that Israel has already achieved more by killing the top

435
00:30:14,079 –> 00:30:17,960
militia leaders of HERMAS, saying it doesn’t work to dismantle

436
00:30:17,960 –> 00:30:20,599
the harmas this is not the right way to proceed,

437
00:30:21,039 –> 00:30:24,720
he said, while President Trump had reiterated and insisted that

438
00:30:24,839 –> 00:30:27,680
things will not work the way. The French president had

439
00:30:27,720 –> 00:30:32,359
suggested that the October seventh, twenty twenty three hostages still

440
00:30:32,440 –> 00:30:35,960
in the custody of HERMAS cannot be honored with such suggestions.

441
00:30:36,359 –> 00:30:39,279
The meeting was held when videos of the French President

442
00:30:39,640 –> 00:30:43,920
Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President resepered Awan went viral on

443
00:30:43,960 –> 00:30:47,759
the Internet, where both presidents were stopped or blocked separately

444
00:30:47,799 –> 00:30:50,839
by New York police operatives as they tried to cross

445
00:30:50,880 –> 00:30:53,279
streets in the New York City over yet to be

446
00:30:53,359 –> 00:30:58,440
seen incoming motorcade of their counterpart, President Donald Trump. The

447
00:30:58,440 –> 00:31:02,319
French President Hamanu Macron called Donald Trump on the phone

448
00:31:02,319 –> 00:31:05,119
after his journey to the French embassy was blocked by

449
00:31:05,160 –> 00:31:09,000
police offices preparing for the motorcade of the US president,

450
00:31:09,079 –> 00:31:12,839
but that of the Turkish President Recep Erdowan could be

451
00:31:12,880 –> 00:31:16,359
seen quickly surrounded by his security team in a manner

452
00:31:16,400 –> 00:31:19,319
that makes the President looked apparently in shot. The moment,

453
00:31:19,440 –> 00:31:22,920
some group of New York police officers advanced towards them

454
00:31:22,960 –> 00:31:26,200
to stop the Turkish presidential team from crossing the road.

455
00:31:26,960 –> 00:31:30,920
According to New York Times, nothing frustrates a New Yorker

456
00:31:30,960 –> 00:31:33,319
in a hurry like finding that a street has been

457
00:31:33,359 –> 00:31:37,240
blocked off because some big shot is in town. Apparently

458
00:31:37,640 –> 00:31:41,240
the same is true for the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.

459
00:31:41,920 –> 00:31:45,279
On Monday evening, mister Macron, in New York for the

460
00:31:45,440 –> 00:31:49,240
UN General Assembly, was stuck on a Manhattan street corner

461
00:31:49,279 –> 00:31:53,000
that had been closed off for President Trump’s motorcade. The

462
00:31:53,079 –> 00:31:57,319
meeting of world leaders is, among other things, a traffic nightmare.

463
00:31:58,079 –> 00:32:01,799
At first, mister Macron did what many New Yorkers might do.

464
00:32:02,240 –> 00:32:04,759
He pleaded with a police officer to let him cross

465
00:32:04,799 –> 00:32:08,759
the street. I have ten people with me, mister Macron

466
00:32:08,799 –> 00:32:12,000
told the officer. According to video that shows the French

467
00:32:12,039 –> 00:32:15,400
president making his case on the street corner, I go

468
00:32:15,519 –> 00:32:18,839
to the French embassy. But the officer politely held his

469
00:32:18,960 –> 00:32:21,799
ground and would not let mister Macron cross the street.

470
00:32:22,519 –> 00:32:26,960
I’m sorry, President, I’m really sorry, he told mister Macron.

471
00:32:27,640 –> 00:32:31,160
It’s just that everything’s been frozen. Right now, there’s a

472
00:32:31,200 –> 00:32:35,759
motorcade coming right now. I’m sorry. Mister Macron, who has

473
00:32:35,799 –> 00:32:38,599
engaged in diplomacy to try to end the wars in

474
00:32:38,720 –> 00:32:43,200
Ukraine and Gaza, tried again. I negotiate with you, the

475
00:32:43,279 –> 00:32:47,039
French president said on the video. When that didn’t work,

476
00:32:47,440 –> 00:32:50,240
mister Macron did whatever. There is no doubt that this

477
00:32:50,279 –> 00:32:53,359
week may be an interesting week in the international community,

478
00:32:53,440 –> 00:32:56,599
as world leaders gather for the twenty twenty five United

479
00:32:56,720 –> 00:32:59,960
Nations General Assembly meeting to discuss and take a stand

480
00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:03,200
and over decades of conflicts between Israel and the people

481
00:33:03,240 –> 00:33:06,920
of Palestine, especially some of them well known as Hamas fighters,

482
00:33:07,400 –> 00:33:11,759
over territorial integrity and sovereignty, most especially ever since the

483
00:33:11,799 –> 00:33:15,920
State of Palestine was officially declared by the Palestine Liberation

484
00:33:16,119 –> 00:33:20,519
Organization PLO on the fifteenth of November nineteen eighty eight,

485
00:33:20,920 –> 00:33:25,079
claiming sovereignty over the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem

486
00:33:25,200 –> 00:33:27,400
and the Gaza Strip, and as at the end of

487
00:33:27,480 –> 00:33:31,599
nineteen eighty eight, over seventy eight countries approved the declaration,

488
00:33:31,759 –> 00:33:36,599
including Nigeria, that recognized Palestinian state. Barely three days after

489
00:33:36,640 –> 00:33:40,720
the declaration, on November eighteenth, nineteen eighty eight, and the

490
00:33:40,799 –> 00:33:44,559
numbers have been increasing, particularly since the beginning of twenty

491
00:33:44,680 –> 00:33:48,559
twenty four like never before. As at September twenty first,

492
00:33:48,599 –> 00:33:52,559
twenty twenty five, over one hundred and fifty one countries

493
00:33:52,599 –> 00:33:55,839
out of the one hundred and ninety three United Nations

494
00:33:55,960 –> 00:34:01,039
members have recognized the Palestinian State, including United US Kingdom UK,

495
00:34:01,200 –> 00:34:04,240
which its recognition appears to be more disturbing to the

496
00:34:04,319 –> 00:34:09,199
Israeli government, with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Lettanyahoo issuing

497
00:34:09,239 –> 00:34:11,719
what he described as a clear message to the world

498
00:34:11,800 –> 00:34:15,000
leaders recognizing Palestine as a country of its own that

499
00:34:15,039 –> 00:34:19,880
it’s not going to happen. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,

500
00:34:19,920 –> 00:34:23,400
among others, declared and announced their recognition of the Palestinian

501
00:34:23,559 –> 00:34:28,440
State on September twenty first, twenty twenty five, while countries

502
00:34:28,559 –> 00:34:32,280
like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea among others, are

503
00:34:32,320 –> 00:34:35,920
yet to make their position known. In a video broadcast

to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and

Israelis and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally

recognizes the State of Palestine, adding that the recognition is

508
00:34:51,039 –> 00:34:54,320
not a reward for her Mas, reiterating that the United

509
00:34:54,400 –> 00:34:57,760
Kingdom has already prescribed and sanctioned her Mass as a

510
00:34:57,880 –> 00:35:01,559
terrorist organization, saying any member of her Mass will not

511
00:35:01,679 –> 00:35:04,679
