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
3
00:00:07,639 –> 00:00:11,599
queen is also the biological sister of the Ober’s fifth wife,
4
00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:15,679
Queen isosa 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
00:01:22,959 –> 00:01:26,799
acceptance or rejection of his request was not stated this.
24
00:01:27,439 –> 00:01:32,120
The President of i Gurbasmy Movement Worldwide Assarro Culture ARMU
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 Aquolocpolo 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 –> 00:02:26,759
Queen iro gama Uare two, had been sent packing from
39
00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:30,039
the palace simply because one of the biological children of
40
00:02:30,080 –> 00:02:32,919
the Ober entered the palace allegedly in a manner the
41
00:02:32,919 –> 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 –> 00:02:44,879
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 –> 00:03:02,800
see Armed Forces of Nigeria. AFN has stated that its
49
00:03:02,840 –> 00:03:05,879
men resisted and pushed back a group of Islamic State
50
00:03:05,960 –> 00:03:10,039
of West Africa Province ICEWOP fighters at Malamfa Tory area
51
00:03:10,120 –> 00:03:13,719
in the Abadam local government area of Borno’s state early
52
00:03:13,840 –> 00:03:18,520
morning on Wednesday, after the ICEWAP fighters launched a simultaneous, five,
53
00:03:18,680 –> 00:03:22,240
multiple and separate offensive attacks against the troops of the
54
00:03:22,360 –> 00:03:26,319
Joint Task Force North East Operation had in Kai. This
55
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:30,120
the Nigeria Army supported its press release with a video
56
00:03:30,240 –> 00:03:33,800
of dead bodies of the suspected terrorists, some of whom,
57
00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:37,680
according to the military authority, were well known icewop commanders
58
00:03:37,719 –> 00:03:41,680
who led other terrorists to carry out the attacks. Lieutenant
59
00:03:41,719 –> 00:03:46,599
Sannie Uber, the media information officer joined Task Force North
60
00:03:46,639 –> 00:03:49,520
East Operation had in Kai, in a press release issued
61
00:03:49,560 –> 00:03:52,960
a few minutes ago, noted that Niger Republica have force
62
00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:55,919
supported in the killing of the terrorists and other defensive
63
00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:00,520
offensive military actions that finally forced other surviving terrorists withdraw
64
00:04:00,639 –> 00:04:05,759
and flee in disarray. Accordingly, the press release reads verbatim, Thus,
65
00:04:06,240 –> 00:04:10,000
troops of the Joint Task Force Northeast Operation had in
66
00:04:10,120 –> 00:04:14,159
Kai O PHK, in the early hours of Wednesday, successfully
67
00:04:14,199 –> 00:04:18,079
repelled a co ordinated and simultaneous five pronged terrorist attack
68
00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:21,839
on own positions at Malam for Tory in Sect three.
69
00:04:21,920 –> 00:04:25,319
The terrorists who advanced in large numbers on foot and
70
00:04:25,399 –> 00:04:28,160
deployed armed drones in a desperate bid to breach the
71
00:04:28,199 –> 00:04:32,120
defenses of locations of troops, particularly along the frontage of
72
00:04:32,199 –> 00:04:35,639
Bravo Company from the Daguri general area were met with
73
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:41,279
overwhelming resistance. Having maintained full situational awareness of the battle space,
74
00:04:41,720 –> 00:04:45,360
troops had anticipated the attack and deliberately prepared an offensive
75
00:04:45,480 –> 00:04:49,879
defensive battle designed to decisively defeat and annihilate the assault elements.
76
00:04:50,720 –> 00:04:56,040
Through discipline, fire control, co ordinated maneuver and superior tactical execution,
77
00:04:56,560 –> 00:05:00,439
the attackers were engaged, disrupted, and rooted in disarray, with
78
00:05:00,560 –> 00:05:05,079
no fewer than eighty terrorists neutralized during the engagement. Additionally,
79
00:05:05,439 –> 00:05:08,759
the fire fight was further reinforced by precision of close
80
00:05:08,800 –> 00:05:12,000
air support from the air component of Operation hadden Kai,
81
00:05:12,519 –> 00:05:16,680
complemented by rapid strike passes from Allied Nigerian air assets,
82
00:05:16,959 –> 00:05:21,519
which compounded the pressure on the fleeing insurgents. Exploitation of
83
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:24,680
the engagement area led to the recovery of a substantial
84
00:05:24,759 –> 00:05:29,399
cache of weapons, ammunition, and combat enablers, including fifty two
85
00:05:29,480 –> 00:05:33,839

twenty one RPG bombs, nine locally fabricated iedes, multiple magazines,

00:05:50,839 –> 00:05:55,360
communication radios, and components of armed drones deployed by the terrorists.
90
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:59,839
Despite the scale and intensity of Nigeria military authority has
91
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:03,439
placed the citizens and residents in the West Africa country
92
00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:06,360

123
00:08:19,560 –> 00:08:24,079
terrorist suicide bombers who detonated improvised explosive devices at three
124
00:08:24,160 –> 00:08:28,079

EOD Team and other sister security agency. There may be
132
00:08:57,720 –> 00:09:00,360
no doubt that Iran is apparently giving the UNI United
133
00:09:00,399 –> 00:09:03,600
States US a tougher time at the Strait of Hormas,
134
00:09:03,960 –> 00:09:06,879
holding strong that none of its enemies and their allies
135
00:09:06,960 –> 00:09:09,840
will sell their ship through the Strait of Hormas, an
136
00:09:09,879 –> 00:09:13,000
action that has since made the U S President Donald
137
00:09:13,039 –> 00:09:16,720
Trump to make contradictory statements after the U. S Army
138
00:09:16,840 –> 00:09:21,240
obviously failed in its intimidating military campaign and destruction of
139
00:09:21,279 –> 00:09:26,320
the Iran Naval base, airport, control tower, helicopter hangars, naval
140
00:09:26,360 –> 00:09:30,720
mind storage, missile bunkers and anti aircraft and ballistic missiles
141
00:09:30,759 –> 00:09:34,080
defence system with a threat to destroy the oil lifeline
142
00:09:34,080 –> 00:09:36,960
of Iran at the Kak Island if Iran continued to
143
00:09:37,000 –> 00:09:40,080
block ship from sailing through the Strait of Hormas, but
144
00:09:40,159 –> 00:09:42,960
yet as at the time of filing in this report, today,
145
00:09:43,279 –> 00:09:47,000
Iran remains deviant to US threat, with Close Watches saying
146
00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:50,559
Iran may not fight a traditional normal naval war with
147
00:09:50,639 –> 00:09:52,799
the U S Marines, who are currently on a high
148
00:09:52,840 –> 00:09:56,000
speed traveling from their base in Japan to the Strait
149
00:09:56,039 –> 00:09:59,559
of Hormas, of which over two thousand, five hundred of
150
00:09:59,559 –> 00:10:02,759
the UA S Marines and sailors have been redeployed and
151
00:10:02,799 –> 00:10:07,679
apparently drawn from the thirty first Marine Expeditionary Unit MEU,
152
00:10:07,840 –> 00:10:11,039
an elite rapid response force, and the Marines are traveling
153
00:10:11,120 –> 00:10:15,080
aboard an amphibious ready group arg led by the assault
154
00:10:15,159 –> 00:10:19,159

function as a lightning carrier carrying F three five B

00:10:22,679 –> 00:10:26,759
stealth fighters and MV twenty two Osprey transport aircraft, and
157
00:10:26,799 –> 00:10:29,840
the assigned Marines are expected to arrive the Strait of
158
00:10:29,879 –> 00:10:32,600
Hormus in a week or less than two weeks time,
159
00:10:33,000 –> 00:10:37,279
but currently Close Watch is said Iran is using deviant
160
00:10:37,279 –> 00:10:42,080
tactics like GPS jabbing, swarming drones and underwater mines to
161
00:10:42,159 –> 00:10:45,320
keep the US Navy off balance, an action that may
162
00:10:45,360 –> 00:10:48,720
be the reason the U s. President Donald Trump initially
163
00:10:48,759 –> 00:10:52,840
called on the international communities to help form an international
164
00:10:52,960 –> 00:10:56,240
naval coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormas, but some
165
00:10:56,360 –> 00:11:01,840
European countries like Germany, United Kingdom, from Plants, Greece, Italy,
166
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:06,360
and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO refused, with some
167
00:11:06,440 –> 00:11:09,320
heads of the European countries saying the war is not
168
00:11:09,480 –> 00:11:13,759
our war. Germany will not participate in any military activity
169
00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:17,120
in the strait, any plan to reopen the strait won’t
170
00:11:17,159 –> 00:11:19,679
be a NATO mission, and that the UK will not
171
00:11:19,759 –> 00:11:23,840
be drawn into a wider war. No sending France warships
172
00:11:23,840 –> 00:11:28,279
to the region until the security situation stabilizes. Italy’s current
173
00:11:28,360 –> 00:11:31,799
naval missions would not be extended to the strait. No
174
00:11:31,960 –> 00:11:36,919
Greece military engagement in the waterway. Following this, President Donald Trump,
175
00:11:36,919 –> 00:11:41,480
in a nationwide media chat on Monday, said US don’t
176
00:11:41,519 –> 00:11:44,759
need them. We don’t need anybody. We are the strongest
177
00:11:44,840 –> 00:11:47,840
nation in the world. We have the strongest military by
178
00:11:47,919 –> 00:11:51,399
far in the world. We don’t need them, but it
179
00:11:51,480 –> 00:11:55,120
is interesting in some cases not because we need them,
180
00:11:55,279 –> 00:11:57,360
because I want. There may be no doubt that the
181
00:11:57,440 –> 00:11:59,679
year twenty twenty six may not be a year of
182
00:11:59,720 –> 00:12:02,440
goods record for some men and women of the Armed
183
00:12:02,480 –> 00:12:07,240
Forces of Nigeria afn as. Multiple reports and official statements
184
00:12:07,279 –> 00:12:10,679
have confirmed that some numbers of Nigeria soldiers have been
185
00:12:10,799 –> 00:12:15,159
killed by Islamic State of West Africa Province ICEWAP since
186
00:12:15,200 –> 00:12:18,919
the beginning of this year. Thus, the multiple reports suggest
187
00:12:19,320 –> 00:12:22,399
more than one hundred and eighty Nigeria soldiers may have
188
00:12:22,480 –> 00:12:25,559
been killed in just seventy three days into this new
189
00:12:25,679 –> 00:12:29,480
year twenty twenty six, which further indicated that an average
190
00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:32,559
of two to three soldiers are being killed daily in
191
00:12:32,679 –> 00:12:36,440
Nigeria by the ICEWAP terrorists, who appeared to have increased
192
00:12:36,480 –> 00:12:40,600
the daily offensive attacks on Nigeria soldiers since the US
193
00:12:40,960 –> 00:12:45,240
Israel joint war against Iran began on February twenty eighth,
194
00:12:45,360 –> 00:12:49,480
twenty twenty six. Although some close watchers accused the Nigeria
195
00:12:49,559 –> 00:12:53,440
military of always downplaying or reporting are very lower numbers
196
00:12:53,519 –> 00:12:58,279
of troops casualties, but the Nigeria Minister of Defense, General
197
00:12:58,360 –> 00:13:02,240
Christopher Musa stated and confirmed during the week after security
198
00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:05,879
chiefs held the meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tanubu at
199
00:13:05,879 –> 00:13:09,200
the Presidential Villa in Abuja, that the lots of Nigeria
200
00:13:09,320 –> 00:13:12,639
soldiers has been lost, but he insisted the contrary to
201
00:13:12,679 –> 00:13:15,879
some reports by the media, the terrorists and bandits are
202
00:13:15,919 –> 00:13:20,519
taking more casualties, specifically stating their commanders are being killed
203
00:13:20,519 –> 00:13:23,519
every day. We are sure of victory and some reports
204
00:13:23,559 –> 00:13:27,399
also suggest that the ICEWAP terrorists are increasingly using armed
205
00:13:27,480 –> 00:13:31,200
drones for asymmetric warfare and high end tech like night
206
00:13:31,320 –> 00:13:35,240
vision in recent attacks on military bases in Nigeria, with
207
00:13:35,360 –> 00:13:39,679
some foreigners joining the Nigeria ICEWAP fighters to launch a
208
00:13:39,759 –> 00:13:45,039
Ramadan campaign that saw ICEWAP overrunning some military bases in Conduga,
209
00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:49,519
manik Jukana and Marte areas of Borno State, with local
210
00:13:49,559 –> 00:13:54,200
media reports stating approximately forty soldiers were killed, while ICEWAP
211
00:13:54,200 –> 00:13:57,000
in a press release, claimed to have killed sixteen in
212
00:13:57,039 –> 00:14:01,000
the initial assault and another twenty in a subsequent suicide bombing.
213
00:14:01,360 –> 00:14:05,200
On March four, twenty twenty six, at least fourteen soldiers
214
00:14:05,200 –> 00:14:09,200
were reportedly killed during attacks on military bases in Ngosh
215
00:14:09,320 –> 00:14:13,559
and other parts of Borno State between February fifteen and eighteen,
216
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:18,200
twenty twenty six, multiple reports confirmed eight soldiers were killed
217
00:14:18,240 –> 00:14:21,559
and twenty three injured at a base in Crosskauer in
218
00:14:21,600 –> 00:14:25,559
the Kikawa local government area of Borno State. Another six
219
00:14:25,639 –> 00:14:30,080
soldiers were reportedly killed in Bulocal government area. Earlier in
220
00:14:30,159 –> 00:14:34,120
January twenty twenty six, at least twenty soldiers were killed
221
00:14:34,120 –> 00:14:37,159
in an attack on a remote base in Malamftori and
222
00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,000
eight others were killed in a separate ambush earlier in
223
00:14:40,039 –> 00:14:44,759
the month. This former Nigeria presidential candidate in the last
224
00:14:44,879 –> 00:14:49,200
concluded general elections in the West Africa country, Peter Obe,
225
00:14:49,200 –> 00:14:53,000
in awarded statement during the week, said our nation is
226
00:14:53,080 –> 00:14:57,320
clearly under siege and the scale. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
227
00:14:57,360 –> 00:15:00,320
Natanyahoo has said that the State of Israel has a
228
00:15:00,320 –> 00:15:02,919
lot of organized plans of what yet to be done
229
00:15:02,919 –> 00:15:06,759
in Iran, specifically saying regarding what we will do next
230
00:15:06,759 –> 00:15:10,240
in Iran, we have an organized plan with many surprises
231
00:15:10,279 –> 00:15:13,600
to destabilize the regime and the naval change. We have
232
00:15:13,679 –> 00:15:16,480
many more targets and I will not detail them here.
233
00:15:16,960 –> 00:15:21,399
Benjamin Netanyahu stated this on Saturday, a day before moch
234
00:15:21,480 –> 00:15:25,360
Tabercamanee was officially and publicly announced as the Iran’s new
235
00:15:25,440 –> 00:15:29,879
Supreme leader in Tehran’s Vanik Square on Sunday, with residents
236
00:15:29,879 –> 00:15:33,360
in Middle East reporting with videos that Iran unleashed some
237
00:15:33,480 –> 00:15:37,600
numbers of massive waves of fatter two hypersonic blind missiles
238
00:15:37,639 –> 00:15:41,240
straight at Israel shortly after the announcement of the Iran’s
239
00:15:41,360 –> 00:15:45,639
new Supreme leader, moach Tabercamanee, many believed to be much
240
00:15:45,679 –> 00:15:50,159
more aggressive than his father, Iatola Ali Kamene. The announcement
241
00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:53,200
of the new Supreme leader was made known after days.
242
00:15:53,440 –> 00:15:56,519
The U S President Donald Trump stated that the US
243
00:15:56,720 –> 00:15:59,960
will have a complete control of Iran and determine its leadership,
244
00:16:00,279 –> 00:16:03,679
which in one of the occasions President Donald Trump stated
245
00:16:03,759 –> 00:16:07,159
verbait and that, well, most of the people we had
246
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:09,720
in mind are dead. We had some in mind from
247
00:16:09,759 –> 00:16:12,440
that group that is dead. Now we have another group.
248
00:16:12,840 –> 00:16:16,519
They may be dead. Also based home reports this. The
249
00:16:16,639 –> 00:16:21,080
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a nationwide message to
250
00:16:21,120 –> 00:16:24,440
the people of Israel on Saturday, as made available by
251
00:16:24,519 –> 00:16:27,799
the Office of the Prime Minister, said countries can now
252
00:16:27,879 –> 00:16:31,879
see the hypocrisy of the United Nations u N. Following
253
00:16:31,879 –> 00:16:35,720
the U S Israel joint war against Iram, saying the
254
00:16:35,799 –> 00:16:38,039
war is changing the face of the Middle East, and
255
00:16:38,120 –> 00:16:42,240
in his words Benjamin Netanyahu said, at the same time,
256
00:16:42,720 –> 00:16:46,000
we brought all of our hostages home, struck the centers
257
00:16:46,039 –> 00:16:49,240
of terrorism in Judea and Samaria, climbed to the peak
258
00:16:49,279 –> 00:16:53,080
of Mount Herman, and created buffer zones in Syria, Lebanon
259
00:16:53,279 –> 00:16:57,240
and Gaza. As I promised you two days after October seventh,
260
00:16:57,519 –> 00:16:59,759
we are changing the face of the Middle East. But
261
00:17:00,080 –> 00:17:03,240
we didn’t just change the Middle East. First and foremost,
262
00:17:03,519 –> 00:17:07,440
we changed ourselves, because after the great disaster of October seven,
263
00:17:07,799 –> 00:17:11,079
I decided to leave a polar shift, powerful actions one
264
00:17:11,119 –> 00:17:15,720
after another, proactive and surprising actions, actions that dramatically changed
265
00:17:15,759 –> 00:17:18,920
the balance of power between us and our enemies the
266
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:22,160
countries around us. See the hypocrisy of the UN, which
267
00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:25,799
condemned us without reason in our just war against Iran’s
268
00:17:25,880 –> 00:17:29,759
murderous proxies in Gaza. Yet that saying Yun did nothing
269
00:17:29,880 –> 00:17:32,759
in the face of the mass sorter in Iran. These
270
00:17:32,839 –> 00:17:36,200
countries which were attacked by Iran. See the weakness and
271
00:17:36,279 –> 00:17:39,559
feebleness of leaders in the West who simply abandoned them
272
00:17:39,799 –> 00:17:43,359
while Commena and his murderers sorted tens of thousands of
273
00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:47,319
Iranian citizens. Where was the UN Where were many countries
274
00:17:47,359 –> 00:17:50,160
in the West, and where was the international media that
275
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:54,480
constantly condemns US with fake news? They were nowhere. Foreign
276
00:17:54,519 –> 00:17:58,559
Minister of Iran ABIs Arachi has said that Iranian soldiers
277
00:17:58,559 –> 00:18:02,000
are currently waiting for un US ground troops to invade Iran,
278
00:18:02,440 –> 00:18:06,799
saying the Iranians are prepared for any scenario. According to Arachi,
279
00:18:07,119 –> 00:18:10,559
Iran is confident that its soldiers can confront US ground
280
00:18:10,640 –> 00:18:14,079
troops and if the United States actually decided to begin
281
00:18:14,240 –> 00:18:17,559
ground troops invasion in Iran, it will be a disaster
282
00:18:17,640 –> 00:18:20,720
for the US because we know we can handle them,
283
00:18:20,839 –> 00:18:24,519
adding Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing
284
00:18:24,559 –> 00:18:28,119
war with the US and Israel politically and otherwise. And
285
00:18:28,160 –> 00:18:31,119
shortly after the Iran foreign Minister made this known in
286
00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:35,440

00:21:01,039 –> 00:21:04,519
military actions in the sovereign nation of Iran, has said
325
00:21:04,559 –> 00:21:07,599
that many Iranian soldiers are willing to surrender in order
326
00:21:07,680 –> 00:21:11,359
to save their lives, but the offensive US Israel military
327
00:21:11,400 –> 00:21:15,400
war or combat on Iran, continued, saying the joint military
328
00:21:15,440 –> 00:21:19,839
operations code named Operation Epic Fury has destroyed hundreds of
329
00:21:19,880 –> 00:21:24,519
Iranian targets since the military action began on February twenty eighth,
330
00:21:24,680 –> 00:21:28,400
twenty twenty six, including the killing of the Iran Supreme
331
00:21:28,480 –> 00:21:32,440
Leader Iatola Ali Kamanee, and the new joint war against
332
00:21:32,519 –> 00:21:35,160
Iran has resulted to the killing of more than two
333
00:21:35,279 –> 00:21:40,200
hundred Iranian civilians and military personnel with thousands of people injured,
334
00:21:40,400 –> 00:21:44,279
while over twelve persons have been killed so far in Israel,
335
00:21:44,359 –> 00:21:48,119
with estimated five hundred people sustaining injuries, and the war
336
00:21:48,279 –> 00:21:52,160
has forced Iran to launch counter attacks on US military
337
00:21:52,200 –> 00:21:56,680
bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates
338
00:21:57,039 –> 00:22:02,200
uae lisz. Iran foreign Minister ABIs Arachi had said Iran
339
00:22:02,240 –> 00:22:06,000
will not surrender, stating that despite the massive air strikes
340
00:22:06,000 –> 00:22:11,119
on Tehran, Iran’s military capability remains intact, adding Iran was
341
00:22:11,160 –> 00:22:13,839
able to retaliate faster than it did in the twenty
342
00:22:13,920 –> 00:22:18,559
twenty five twelve Day war and that its mosaic defense
343
00:22:18,960 –> 00:22:22,839
doctrine makes it resilient to infrastructure damage. Arachi called the
344
00:22:22,920 –> 00:22:27,279
killing of Kamenee absolutely unprecedented and a major violation of
345
00:22:27,319 –> 00:22:31,319
international law, warning it had made the conflict even more
346
00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:36,039
dangerous and more complicated, saying Kamenee was not only Iran’s
347
00:22:36,039 –> 00:22:40,000
political leader, but a high ranking religious leader for millions
348
00:22:40,000 –> 00:22:44,279
of Muslims even outside of Iran across the region, pointing
349
00:22:44,319 –> 00:22:47,920
to protests that had erupted in Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere
350
00:22:47,960 –> 00:22:51,160
where the leader had follows. In line with this, Al
351
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:55,359
Jazeran News media also reported some minutes ago that Iranian
352
00:22:55,400 –> 00:22:59,079
missiles have been seen over Tel Aviv and the occupied
353
00:22:59,160 –> 00:23:04,039
West Bank, reportedly breaking through Israel’s defense system, with Iran
354
00:23:04,160 –> 00:23:08,279
saying it is targeting Israeli military facilities. In the six
355
00:23:08,359 –> 00:23:13,079
minutes nationwide video broadcast, President Donald Trump called on members
356
00:23:13,079 –> 00:23:16,480
of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to surrender their weapons or
357
00:23:16,519 –> 00:23:20,759
face certain deaths, saying the death of the three American
358
00:23:20,839 –> 00:23:23,880
soldiers killed in action will be avenged by taking more
359
00:23:23,920 –> 00:23:28,599
punishing actions against the enemies. President Donald Trump said there
360
00:23:28,640 –> 00:23:32,119
will likely be additional American deaths during the combat mission
361
00:23:32,119 –> 00:23:35,240
in Iran, which he said would continue until the US
362
00:23:35,240 –> 00:23:40,319
achieves its objectives. Combat operations continue at this time in
363
00:23:40,440 –> 00:23:43,359
full force, and they will continue until all of our
364
00:23:43,400 –> 00:23:47,839
objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives, he said
365
00:23:47,839 –> 00:23:51,359
in a video posted to truth Social without specifying in
366
00:23:51,440 –> 00:23:55,480
detailed United States U S Government, under the leadership of
367
00:23:55,519 –> 00:23:58,960
President Donald Trump, has ordered its citizens out of Lebanon
368
00:23:59,000 –> 00:24:01,839
with the non emergent d Sea citizens specially warned to
369
00:24:01,880 –> 00:24:05,440
avoid traveling to southern Lebanon. Although the U S Embassy
370
00:24:05,559 –> 00:24:09,680
in Beirut never mentioned Israel and Hesbella possible new war
371
00:24:09,839 –> 00:24:12,440
in the Middle East as the reason for its action,
372
00:24:12,880 –> 00:24:16,079
but there are strong indications that the America government took
373
00:24:16,119 –> 00:24:19,720
the decision because of the possible military conflicts in the region.
374
00:24:20,079 –> 00:24:22,759
According to the U S Government, it do not want
375
00:24:22,759 –> 00:24:26,559
America’s citizens to travel to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism,
376
00:24:26,880 –> 00:24:31,519
civil unrest, kidnapping, unexploded land mines, and the risk of
377
00:24:31,680 –> 00:24:36,720
armed conflict, stating that some areas, especially near the borders,
378
00:24:36,759 –> 00:24:41,200
have increased risk. While information available on Monday indicated that
379
00:24:41,279 –> 00:24:45,960
Hesbellah is preparing to resume retaliatory strikes against Israel by
380
00:24:46,039 –> 00:24:51,000
rejecting US cease fire deal as Israel Defense Forces IDF
381
00:24:51,039 –> 00:24:55,039

of the League of Arab States and the Organization of

00:25:36,799 –> 00:25:40,480
Islamic Cooperation described the current action of Israel in the
394
00:25:40,480 –> 00:25:44,680
Middle East as expansionist agenda. And also on Monday, the
395
00:25:44,759 –> 00:25:49,640
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Lettanna, who appears before Israeli lawmakers
396
00:25:49,680 –> 00:25:52,480
of the Knesset and said Israel don’t know what the
397
00:25:52,559 –> 00:25:55,519
days might be, but they are prepared for any scenario,
398
00:25:55,839 –> 00:25:59,440
adding if peign attack Israel, Israel will respond with the
399
00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:03,720
force Areasanian government will never imagined. Also, Ill and Observant
400
00:26:03,759 –> 00:26:07,240
News Media, in a tweet published on Monday, stated that
401
00:26:07,279 –> 00:26:11,240
oil companies around the world the currently advising their staff
402
00:26:11,359 –> 00:26:15,720
not to travel to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman,
403
00:26:16,119 –> 00:26:21,240
Kuwait and Qatar unless absolutely necessary. It would be recalled
404
00:26:21,279 –> 00:26:25,039
that the conflict between Israel and Hesbella has historically involved
405
00:26:25,039 –> 00:26:28,000
two major wars which occurred in two thousand and six
406
00:26:28,079 –> 00:26:31,880
and twenty twenty four, and yet possible new war remains
407
00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:34,839
in a state of high tension characterized by a fragile
408
00:26:34,920 –> 00:26:40,119
ceasefire and ongoing military operations. In February twenty twenty six,
409
00:26:40,519 –> 00:26:43,799
the Middle East region is currently under a fragile ceasefire
410
00:26:43,880 –> 00:26:47,720
that began on November twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, yet
411
00:26:47,720 –> 00:26:51,720
both sides of Israel and Hesbala in Lebanon frequently Nigeria
412
00:26:51,799 –> 00:26:54,880
Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector General of
413
00:26:54,920 –> 00:26:59,079
Police IGP car yode Eg Beethoven, has kept months since
414
00:26:59,119 –> 00:27:03,960
her video went viral on social media platforms, wherein allegation
415
00:27:04,039 –> 00:27:07,640
of bringing people illegally to settle inside forest in Edo
416
00:27:07,759 –> 00:27:11,680
State was made against the divisional police officer the DPO
417
00:27:11,759 –> 00:27:15,119
who is currently serving at the Divisional Police Headquarters at
418
00:27:15,119 –> 00:27:19,400
Oboha community in the Essen Southeast local government area in
419
00:27:19,480 –> 00:27:22,480
the state, a state that have witnessed rampant cases of
420
00:27:22,599 –> 00:27:26,640
kidnappings in recent time, especially since the beginning of this year,
421
00:27:27,039 –> 00:27:30,720
despite the fact that the Edo State Governor, Monday Opepolo,
422
00:27:30,839 –> 00:27:34,759
has executed the destruction of numbers of houses or properties
423
00:27:34,799 –> 00:27:38,279
of apparent innocent landlords or people who may not have
424
00:27:38,400 –> 00:27:41,359
direct connection with the crime. It may be recalled the
425
00:27:41,440 –> 00:27:45,680
early twenty twenty five, the governor demolished a residential property
426
00:27:45,799 –> 00:27:48,640
on College Road simply because it was linked to a
427
00:27:48,720 –> 00:27:53,559
kidnapping gang operating in the Aduawa Eyen and Beninouchi Rode
428
00:27:53,599 –> 00:27:57,000
Bypass Axis, even when the building belonged to a woman
429
00:27:57,079 –> 00:28:01,000
based in Italy, just that her brother of samide Asimota,
430
00:28:01,400 –> 00:28:04,519
the alleged key leader of the gang, allegedly used it
431
00:28:04,559 –> 00:28:08,279
to coordinate abductions. This is just one of many properties
432
00:28:08,279 –> 00:28:12,000
demolished by the Edo State government over kidnapping in the state.
433
00:28:12,519 –> 00:28:16,480
Yet records of kidnappings in the state continued to grow higher,
434
00:28:16,839 –> 00:28:20,319
and recent police and military arrests indicated that Edo State
435
00:28:20,559 –> 00:28:24,039
is perhaps under siege of foreign invaders who may have
436
00:28:24,240 –> 00:28:27,160
taken over larger part of the state forest to co
437
00:28:27,359 –> 00:28:30,559
ordinate kidnappings in the state while working with some of
438
00:28:30,599 –> 00:28:33,960
the local residents to perpetuate the criminal act. It may
439
00:28:34,000 –> 00:28:37,440
be interesting to note that another set of non indigens
440
00:28:37,440 –> 00:28:40,680
of the state arrested by the police recently included two
441
00:28:40,759 –> 00:28:45,359
persons caught inside the Specialist Hospital in Auchi. The two suspects,
442
00:28:45,400 –> 00:28:47,680
who were said to be non indigenes of the state,
443
00:28:47,720 –> 00:28:50,759
were among the gang of kidnappers behind the abduction of
444
00:28:50,839 –> 00:28:55,079
doctor Abu Babtunde, who regained his freedom after his family
445
00:28:55,200 –> 00:28:59,200
reportedly paid a sum of fifty million nayras ransom after
446
00:28:59,279 –> 00:29:03,079
the doctor and his younger brother were abducted on January second,
447
00:29:03,200 –> 00:29:06,559
twenty twenty six while opening the gate to their residents
448
00:29:06,599 –> 00:29:11,200
for Long City Pride Road, Higbia Camp Auchi and unfortunately,
449
00:29:11,559 –> 00:29:14,839
the younger brother was later found dead on January fifth
450
00:29:14,920 –> 00:29:18,440
near the Auli River Long City Pride Road, with police
451
00:29:18,440 –> 00:29:21,839
suspecting he was killed by the abductors. And the alleged
452
00:29:21,880 –> 00:29:26,559
illegal settlers who confessed the Ugbohadpo as their facilitator, are
453
00:29:26,599 –> 00:29:30,559
said to be non Nigerians from foreign countries. According to
454
00:29:30,599 –> 00:29:33,759
one of the vigilantes who called the illegal settlers, the
455
00:29:33,880 –> 00:29:36,680
arrested illegal settlers in the forest will be taken to
456
00:29:36,720 –> 00:29:41,079
the station. The vigilante member also said the illegal settlers
457
00:29:41,079 –> 00:29:44,759
are not Nigerians and close watchers said people are brought
458
00:29:44,759 –> 00:29:47,960
in and smuggled into Edo forests illegally and such people
459
00:29:48,039 –> 00:29:50,799
may be responsible for the act of day after, the
460
00:29:50,960 –> 00:29:55,559
Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, personally led troops
461
00:29:55,559 –> 00:29:58,240
of joint security operatives at the dead of the night
462
00:29:58,319 –> 00:30:01,640
to launch offensive attacks six against kidnappers in the forest.
463
00:30:02,079 –> 00:30:06,200
The Commander four Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General
464
00:30:06,319 –> 00:30:10,039
r meb Balagan, also personally led troops of joint security
465
00:30:10,119 –> 00:30:14,359
operatives to the kidnappers hideouts and launched massive military clearance
466
00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:19,079
and offensive actions against kidnappers. Both security operations led to
467
00:30:19,119 –> 00:30:22,720
the arrest of several suspected kidnappers allegedly caught in the
468
00:30:22,839 –> 00:30:26,480
act inside the bush, with the identities of the arrested
469
00:30:26,559 –> 00:30:30,680
suspects indicating that most of the kidnappers terrorizing Edo’s State
470
00:30:30,720 –> 00:30:34,279
are from the far northern part of Nigeria, an observation
471
00:30:34,400 –> 00:30:38,119
which appeared to have challenged the public policy statement made
472
00:30:38,160 –> 00:30:42,480
earlier in January twenty twenty six by the Edo State Governor,
473
00:30:42,599 –> 00:30:45,960
Monday ok Capolo, who stated that many of those involved
474
00:30:45,960 –> 00:30:49,079
in the kidnapping surge in Edo’s stat are inder genes
475
00:30:49,119 –> 00:30:52,799
of the area, saying that maybe the reason some kidnappers
476
00:30:52,839 –> 00:30:56,200
wear space masks. The governor made this statement as kidnapping
477
00:30:56,279 –> 00:30:58,799
in the state appeared to have become worse in twenty
478
00:30:58,880 –> 00:31:02,000
twenty six and very rampant, in a manner that indicated
479
00:31:02,039 –> 00:31:04,839
that an average of one to two persons of being
480
00:31:04,960 –> 00:31:07,880
kidnapped in a day in Edo State, as more than
481
00:31:07,960 –> 00:31:12,519
sixty persons became new victims of the increasing criminal activities
482
00:31:12,559 –> 00:31:15,519
in the state since the beginning of twenty twenty six.
483
00:31:16,119 –> 00:31:20,359
Like in January second, twenty twenty six, two brothers doctor
484
00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:24,119
Abu Ibrahem babbitton Day, a medical doctor on housemanship, and
485
00:31:24,200 –> 00:31:27,279
Abu Tahir, a fresh graduate, were kidnapped at the gate
486
00:31:27,319 –> 00:31:31,680
of their residence along City Pride Road, Igbira, Cambinouchi. The
487
00:31:31,799 –> 00:31:35,640
kidnappers initially demanded the two hundred million niras ransom and
488
00:31:35,720 –> 00:31:39,400
tragically on January fifth, one of the two brothers was
489
00:31:39,440 –> 00:31:43,960
found dead on January ninth, twenty twenty six, eight indigenes
490
00:31:43,960 –> 00:31:48,079
of a Moga community in the Arcoco Edolocal government area
491
00:31:48,160 –> 00:31:50,880
of the state were abducted from a hotel along a
492
00:31:50,960 –> 00:31:54,839
Billow road. Since the start of twenty twenty six, Edo
493
00:31:54,920 –> 00:31:59,160
State has experienced a significant surge in kidnappings, leading to
494
00:31:59,200 –> 00:32:03,519
widespread pro tests at diploma in the Edo Central Sanatorial Zone,
495
00:32:03,559 –> 00:32:08,359
with multiple police rescue operations, including the incidents reported early
496
00:32:08,480 –> 00:32:13,119
February twenty twenty six, where police rescued nine victims, including
497
00:32:13,279 –> 00:32:17,119
five children, and a separate group of fourteen victims. This
498
00:32:17,319 –> 00:32:21,279
is that earlier on January twenty second, twenty twenty six,
499
00:32:21,799 –> 00:32:25,359
a farmer named Monday Adero was kidnapped and later rescued,
500
00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:29,359
and in late January, another farmer, Abraham Ugwa and his
501
00:32:29,440 –> 00:32:33,079
two wives, Brinda and Anna, were abducted from Aguro Amende
502
00:32:33,240 –> 00:32:38,200
community but successfully rescued by security forces. In mid January,
503
00:32:38,559 –> 00:32:42,599
Ake Favor and a former student union leader were kidnapped
504
00:32:42,640 –> 00:32:46,279
in Edo Central. Troubled by the surge in kidnapping in
505
00:32:46,319 –> 00:32:50,079
the state, residents and students of ambrose in this write up,
506
00:32:50,400 –> 00:32:54,079
a legal practitioner in Joku Dude in Joku pinpoints and
507
00:32:54,200 –> 00:32:58,599
fundamentals in the judgment passed against Marzi Namdi Kanu by
508
00:32:58,799 –> 00:33:02,920
Justice James Amatosha, which convicted and sentenced the Bafra Republic
509
00:33:03,000 –> 00:33:06,759
agitation leader to life imprisonment, and in this press release
510
00:33:06,799 –> 00:33:10,640
the Legal Practitioner issued in late twenty twenty five entitled
511
00:33:10,960 –> 00:33:14,319
the twenty fourth of November twenty twenty five The Day
512
00:33:14,359 –> 00:33:19,039
Evidence ceased to matter in Nigerian courts. Judicial silence, selective
513
00:33:19,160 –> 00:33:24,960
justice and media complicity describe Justice Omitosho as unprofessional, stating
514
00:33:25,039 –> 00:33:28,480
that the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered by
515
00:33:28,720 –> 00:33:32,119
Justice James Komatosho is not merely that it reached a
516
00:33:32,200 –> 00:33:35,359
full ordained conclusion, but that it did so by deliberately
517
00:33:35,440 –> 00:33:39,359
suppressing evidence he already admitted on record in his own court,
518
00:33:39,759 –> 00:33:43,839
thereby converting a judication into a procedural facade. This was
519
00:33:43,880 –> 00:33:46,200
not an error of law or an oversight of fact.
520
00:33:46,720 –> 00:33:50,319
It was a calculated refusal to engage with material evidence
521
00:33:50,319 –> 00:33:54,880
whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution’s narrative and
522
00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:58,440
pacing that this case is no longer about one man,
523
00:33:58,880 –> 00:34:02,599
it is about weather calls may openly disregard admitted evidence
524
00:34:02,640 –> 00:34:05,759
and still be treated as legitimate, and whether the media
525
00:34:05,839 –> 00:34:09,760
will continue to mask such conduct through silence. A judiciary
526
00:34:09,760 –> 00:34:13,239
that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased to function
527
00:34:13,320 –> 00:34:15,920
as a court of law. A media that refuses to
528
00:34:16,039 –> 00:34:20,559
question that silence has abdicated its public duty. Together, they
529
00:34:20,599 –> 00:34:25,079
place the rule of law itself in existential peril. Continuing
530
00:34:25,400 –> 00:34:29,559
in details, in Joku said, once evidence is admitted, it
531
00:34:29,639 –> 00:34:35,199
binds the judge absolutely. The conduct protest, silence or alleged
532
00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:39,400
boycott of the defendant Marzi Nandikru is legally irrelevant to
533
00:34:39,440 –> 00:34:44,119
that obligation. Judgment writing is not a negotiation with the accused.
534
00:34:44,599 –> 00:34:47,800
It is a solitary judicial duty anchored exclusively to the
535
00:34:47,840 –> 00:34:52,360
evidentiary record. A judge may reject defense evidence, but he
536
00:34:52,440 –> 00:34:56,079
must first confront it, evaluate it, and explain why it
537
00:34:56,159 –> 00:35:01,920
is rejected. Silence is not neutrality, silence suppression. Had Justice
538
00:35:01,920 –> 00:35:07,280
Omitosho evaluated the admitted video exhibit of Theophilis t y Danjuma,
539
00:35:07,719 –> 00:35:10,679
he would have been confronted with the inescapable reality that
540
00:35:10,719 –> 00:35:14,559
public calls for communities to harm themselves in self defense
541
00:35:14,639 –> 00:35:18,360
against murderous violence were not unique to Namdi kru nor
542
00:35:18,440 –> 00:35:23,760
criminalized when made by powerful establishment figures. Proper evaluation would
543
00:35:23,800 –> 00:35:26,639
have compelled the court to accept that krnu’s calls for
544
00:35:26,719 –> 00:35:30,599
guns and bullets in Los Angeles, USA or during broadcasts
545
00:35:30,639 –> 00:35:33,920
were framed as community self defense against the ravages of
546
00:35:34,079 –> 00:35:38,960
armed Fulani killer herders, not incitement to lawless violence. Had
547
00:35:39,119 –> 00:35:43,800
Justice Homitosho evaluated the admitted video evidence of Governor Hope Uzodenma,
548
00:35:44,199 –> 00:35:47,559
he would have known because uz Odamer stated it publicly.
