police officer at Bondi Beach while serving and protecting the community.

99
00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:40,000
Jack sustained two bullet wounds, one to his head and

100
00:06:40,040 –> 00:06:43,959
another to his shoulder. Jack was on duty patrolling the

101
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:48,120
Hanneker celebration interacting with the community at Bondi Beach when

102
00:06:48,160 –> 00:06:52,480
the incident first occurred. Jack was taken to ICEU, where

103
00:06:52,480 –> 00:06:57,839
he was intubated and underwent multiple surgeries. Although miraculously surviving,

104
00:06:58,240 –> 00:07:00,879
Jack’s injuries have resulted in a loss of vision in

105
00:07:00,959 –> 00:07:03,199
one of his eyes, and he now faces a long

106
00:07:03,240 –> 00:07:08,199
and challenging recovery ahead, with additional surgeries required. Jack is

107
00:07:08,439 –> 00:07:11,079
just twenty two years old and has only been in

108
00:07:11,160 –> 00:07:14,959
the police force for four months. Even so, in the

109
00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:18,839
face of a violent and tragic incident, he responded with courage,

110
00:07:19,079 –> 00:07:23,480
instinct and selfishness, continuing to protect and help others whilst

111
00:07:23,480 –> 00:07:27,600
injured until he was physically no longer able to. Jack

112
00:07:27,759 –> 00:07:30,879
was simply doing his job, a job he deeply loves,

113
00:07:31,319 –> 00:07:34,600
driven by commitment to protect the community, even at great

114
00:07:34,680 –> 00:07:38,199
personal cost. Many of his colleagues who were present on

115
00:07:38,279 –> 00:07:41,000

116
00:07:41,040 –> 00:07:45,079

00:07:45,199 –> 00:07:49,600
devotion to his community. They described how Jack acted. He

118
00:07:49,639 –> 00:07:53,079
moved toward people in need, not away from danger, and

119
00:07:53,199 –> 00:07:57,399
continued helping others while seriously injured. The support from the

120
00:07:57,439 –> 00:08:00,560
police force and hospital staff has been unman and we

121
00:08:00,600 –> 00:08:04,959
are beyond grateful. We thank the wider community for their kindness,

122
00:08:05,240 –> 00:08:08,279
support and prayers for Jack and our family during this

123
00:08:08,399 –> 00:08:12,319
difficult time. We ask all to respect our privacy as

124
00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:15,240
we move through these next stages to support Jack and

125
00:08:15,319 –> 00:08:26,199
all his needs to a full recovery. Quindi Israeli government

126
00:08:26,279 –> 00:08:30,240
has blamed the Prime Minister of Australia, Antony Albanese, over

127
00:08:30,279 –> 00:08:33,080
the father and son terrorist act of mass shooting in

128
00:08:33,200 –> 00:08:37,080
Bondai Beach on Sunday evening around six forty seven pm.

129
00:08:37,240 –> 00:08:40,879
In accordance with Australia local time, leading to the killing

130
00:08:40,919 –> 00:08:44,919
of sixteen persons, including one of the suspected terrorists and

131
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:49,200
a ten year old girl, and forty two others sustained injuries.

132
00:08:49,240 –> 00:08:53,679
According to the Premiere of New South Wales State, Christopher Mins,

133
00:08:53,799 –> 00:08:56,960
when members of the Jewish community in the Sydney City

134
00:08:57,000 –> 00:09:00,559
of Australia came out in large numbers on day one

135
00:09:00,600 –> 00:09:05,080
to celebrate this year Harnaker Festival. This the Israeli government,

136
00:09:05,120 –> 00:09:08,399
through the video statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister

137
00:09:08,879 –> 00:09:12,559
Benjamin Lettenyahoo during government meeting in Demona and when he

138
00:09:12,639 –> 00:09:16,360
lit the first Tarnaka candle in Israel later on Sunday,

139
00:09:16,720 –> 00:09:19,759
said there may be more terrorist attacks on the Jewish

140
00:09:19,840 –> 00:09:23,559
people because the Australia government is weak. We know there

141
00:09:23,600 –> 00:09:26,639
will be additional attacks. The safest place for the Jewish

142
00:09:26,720 –> 00:09:29,679
people in the world is where the government, the army

143
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:34,559
and the security forces will defend them, saying on August seventeenth,

144
00:09:34,600 –> 00:09:37,639
twenty twenty five, he wrote a letter to the Prime

145
00:09:37,639 –> 00:09:41,080
Minister of Australia, wherein he said, your call for a

146
00:09:41,120 –> 00:09:45,720
Palestinian state paus fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards

147
00:09:45,720 –> 00:09:49,799
her mass terrorists, It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews

148
00:09:49,840 –> 00:09:54,720
and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Antisemitism

149
00:09:54,799 –> 00:09:58,159
is a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent. It

150
00:09:58,240 –> 00:10:01,320
retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace

151
00:10:01,360 –> 00:10:06,120
weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you

152
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:10,120
replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement. Your

153
00:10:10,159 –> 00:10:14,360
government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia.

154
00:10:14,679 –> 00:10:17,279
You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were

155
00:10:17,320 –> 00:10:20,679
growing inside your country. You took no action. You let

156
00:10:20,720 –> 00:10:23,480
the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks

157
00:10:23,519 –> 00:10:26,879
on Jews we saw today. In a tweet posted through

158
00:10:26,960 –> 00:10:31,039
his personal verified ex social media account few hours ago,

159
00:10:31,519 –> 00:10:36,000
Australia Prime Minister Antony Albanese said, in moments like this,

160
00:10:36,480 –> 00:10:40,960
we must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror.

161
00:10:41,720 –> 00:10:46,080
Speaking during the news conference on Sunday, Australia’s Home Minister

162
00:10:46,559 –> 00:10:50,039

164
00:10:54,159 –> 00:10:57,440
He says the father arrived in Australia in nineteen ninety

166
00:11:01,080 –> 00:11:05,360
is Navid Akram is an Australian born citizen. The father,

167
00:11:05,759 –> 00:11:09,120
a fifty year old, was killed at the scene, taking

168
00:11:09,120 –> 00:11:11,879

169

four year old son is in a critical condition in hospital.

170
00:11:15,960 –> 00:11:19,240
Local media reported that both men pledged allegiance to the

171
00:11:19,320 –> 00:11:23,559
Islamic State Group, adding that Navid first came to authorities

172
00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:27,720
attention in October twenty nineteen, but the Australian Prime Minister

173
00:11:27,799 –> 00:11:30,799
said an assessment was made that there was no indication

174
00:11:30,919 –> 00:11:34,320
of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence.

175
00:11:35,159 –> 00:11:38,120
His father arrived in Australia on a student visa in

176
00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:41,519
nineteen ninety eight, which was transferred in two thousand and

177
00:11:41,679 –> 00:11:46,080
one to a partner visa and later resident return visas. Meanwhile,

178
00:11:46,120 –> 00:11:48,360
the man who tackled one of the gunmen to the

179
00:11:48,399 –> 00:11:51,440
floor and saved people from getting shot at Bondai Beach

180
00:11:51,519 –> 00:11:55,759
in Australia was identified as Ahmed al Ahmed. He was

181
00:11:55,799 –> 00:11:59,399
shot during the incident and is currently recuperating in a hospital.

182
00:12:00,159 –> 00:12:04,200
New South Wales Stayed Premiere Christopher men said in numbers

183
00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:07,720
of posts between Sunday and Monday that to night I

184
00:12:07,759 –> 00:12:10,120
made the decision to light the Sydney Opera House with

185
00:12:10,279 –> 00:12:13,679
candles on the Menorah, marking the second day of Harnekah.

186
00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:16,919
In the wake of this horrific attack, it is more

187
00:12:16,960 –> 00:12:19,799
important than ever that the Jewish community in New South

188
00:12:19,879 –> 00:12:23,799
Wales knows they do not stand alone. We cannot and

189
00:12:23,879 –> 00:12:26,759
we will not allow Jewish Australians to feel they must

190
00:12:26,840 –> 00:12:32,200
hide their faith, their traditions, their religious celebrations or their identity.

191
00:12:32,679 –> 00:12:35,759
Lighting the Opera House is a simple but powerful gesture,

192
00:12:36,159 –> 00:12:39,200
a message to the world that we cherish our Jewish community,

193
00:12:39,559 –> 00:12:42,000
that we honor their courage, and that we stand with

194
00:12:42,080 –> 00:12:46,080
them in’s solidarity and love. To night. Those candles are

195
00:12:46,080 –> 00:12:49,200
a symbol of resilience and a reminder that even in darkness,

196
00:12:49,559 –> 00:12:52,840
we choose to stand with one another. Ahmed is a

197
00:12:52,879 –> 00:12:57,159
real life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery, no doubt,

198
00:12:57,240 –> 00:13:00,559
saved countless lives when he disarmed the terrorists to enormous

199
00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:04,000
personal risk. It was an honor to spend time with

200
00:13:04,120 –> 00:13:06,320
him just now and to pass on the thanks of

201
00:13:06,399 –> 00:13:10,080
people across New South Wales. There is no doubt that

202
00:13:10,159 –> 00:13:12,879
more lives would have been lost if not for HMED’s

203
00:13:12,919 –> 00:13:18,039
selfish courage. Thank you Hmed. Tonight, on the second night

204
00:13:18,080 –> 00:13:21,039
of the Jewish festival of Harnekah, we laid wreaths to

205
00:13:21,080 –> 00:13:23,519
honor and pay tribute to the victims of the horrific

206
00:13:23,639 –> 00:13:27,879
terrorist attack in Bondai and their families. Fifteen innocent people

207
00:13:27,919 –> 00:13:30,799
who lost their lives in a targeted attack against the

208
00:13:30,840 –> 00:13:34,480
Jewish community on the first night of their festival of Harnkah.

209
00:13:34,960 –> 00:13:40,600
The monumental outpouring of sympathy, emotions, flowers and memorial stones

210
00:13:40,679 –> 00:13:44,399
is emblematic of the Australian spirit. Even in the face

211
00:13:44,440 –> 00:13:49,039
of sheer, wanton violence, we will not be broken. Harnikah

212
00:13:49,159 –> 00:13:52,679
is the Jewish festival of lights. On this the second

213
00:13:52,799 –> 00:13:56,559
night of Harnekah, we light candles together and unite against

214
00:13:56,559 –> 00:14:00,559
the darkness. Today I met with Jewish community leaders to

215
00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:03,639
reaffirm that New South Wales stands with them during this

216
00:14:03,759 –> 00:14:08,759
incredibly dark time. We are grieving alongside them. This horrific

217
00:14:08,840 –> 00:14:13,480
act of violence demands an overwhelming response. Operation Shelter is

218
00:14:13,519 –> 00:14:17,000
being strengthened. More than three hundred and twenty police are

219
00:14:17,039 –> 00:14:20,639
being deployed today and we will continue to increase that number.

220
00:14:21,360 –> 00:14:24,639
I want to be clear, especially for our Jewish community,

221
00:14:24,679 –> 00:14:27,279
that New South Wales police are there to protect them,

222
00:14:27,679 –> 00:14:30,000
to keep them safe, and that they have every right

223
00:14:30,039 –> 00:14:33,159
to celebrate their faith and enjoy this festive period free

224
00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,320
from the fear and sorrow caused by this terrible violence.

225
00:14:37,120 –> 00:14:40,240
It is my sad duty to update that fifteen innocent

226
00:14:40,320 –> 00:14:44,360
victims are confirmed deceased following the horrific targeted attack on

227
00:14:44,399 –> 00:14:47,840
the Jewish community at Bondi Beach. I want to be

228
00:14:47,879 –> 00:14:51,600
crystal clear that we strongly repudiate antisemitism in all of

229
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:54,440
its forms, and there is no tolerance for racism or

230
00:14:54,519 –> 00:14:58,240
hatred in New South Wales or Australia, and we will

231
00:14:58,279 –> 00:15:01,240
wrap our arms around the Jewish community and let them

232
00:15:01,279 –> 00:15:06,200
know that every Australian stands with them. Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu,

233
00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:09,399
in a video press released during the government meeting in

234
00:15:09,480 –> 00:15:14,759
Demona on Sunday, said, on August seventeenth, about four months ago,

235
00:15:14,879 –> 00:15:17,960
I sent Prime Minister Albanese of Australia a letter in

236
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:21,320
which I gave him warning that the Australian government’s policy

237
00:15:21,480 –> 00:15:26,440
was promoting and encouraging antisemitism in Australia. I wrote your

238
00:15:26,519 –> 00:15:29,440
call for a Palestinian state cause fuel on the anti

239
00:15:29,519 –> 00:15:34,200
Semitic fire. It rewards her mass terrorists, It emboldens those

240
00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:37,720
who menace Australian Jews, and encourages the due hatred now

241
00:15:37,759 –> 00:15:42,480
stalking your streets. Antisemitism is a cancer. It spreads when

242
00:15:42,559 –> 00:15:46,919
leaders stay silent. It retreats when leaders act. I call

243
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:52,080
upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead,

244
00:15:52,440 –> 00:15:56,200
Prime Minister, you replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with

245
00:15:56,279 –> 00:16:00,240
more appeasement. Your government did nothing to stop the bread

246
00:16:00,240 –> 00:16:04,200
of antisemitism in Australia. You did nothing to curb the

247
00:16:04,279 –> 00:16:08,200
cancer cells that were growing inside your country. You took

248
00:16:08,279 –> 00:16:11,159
no action. You let the disease spread, and the result

249
00:16:11,320 –> 00:16:13,879
is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw to day.

250
00:16:14,679 –> 00:16:17,639
We saw an action of a brave man turns out

251
00:16:17,639 –> 00:16:21,200
a Muslim brave man, and I salute him. That stopped

252
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:24,720
one of these terrorists from killing innocent Jews. But it

253
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:28,120
requires the action of your government, which you are not taking.

254
00:16:28,919 –> 00:16:32,840
And you have to because history will not forgive hesitation

255
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:36,720
and weakness, it will honor action and strength. That’s what

256
00:16:36,840 –> 00:16:39,679
Israel expects of each of your governments in the West

257
00:16:39,720 –> 00:16:43,600
and elsewhere, because the disease spreads and it will consume

258
00:16:43,639 –> 00:16:46,480
you as well. But we are worrying right now about

259
00:16:46,480 –> 00:16:50,000
our people, our safety, and we do not remain silent.

260
00:16:50,799 –> 00:16:53,840
We fight those who try to annihilate us. They’re not

261
00:16:53,960 –> 00:16:57,480
only trying to annihilate us, they attack us because they

262
00:16:57,519 –> 00:17:00,759
attack the West. In Syria, we saw you yesterday two

263
00:17:00,799 –> 00:17:04,640
American soldiers killed and one American interpreter killed as well,

264
00:17:05,400 –> 00:17:08,960
killed because they represent our common culture. Now, as a

265
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:12,839
result of this, Secretary of War Peter Hesath said the following.

266
00:17:13,680 –> 00:17:16,160
He said, let it be known that if you target

267
00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,319
Americans anywhere in the world, you will spend the rest

268
00:17:19,319 –> 00:17:22,400
of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will

269
00:17:22,480 –> 00:17:26,279
hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you. We send

270
00:17:26,319 –> 00:17:29,279
our condolences to the people of America, and I want

271
00:17:29,319 –> 00:17:33,039
to say that our policy is exactly that policy. That’s

272
00:17:33,079 –> 00:17:37,160
why those who target Israelis target our soldiers, try to

273
00:17:37,240 –> 00:17:39,240
kill them or try to hurt them and wound them,

274
00:17:39,480 –> 00:17:43,480
as happened in Gaza yesterday. We take action. They will

275
00:17:43,519 –> 00:17:46,240
spend the rest of the brief anxious lives knowing that

276
00:17:46,359 –> 00:17:50,559
Israel will hunt them, find them and ruthlessly dispose of them.

277
00:17:50,799 –> 00:17:54,759
That is American policy. This is Israel’s policy. It’s our

278
00:17:54,799 –> 00:17:59,400
policy in Gaza, in Lebanon, anywhere around us. We do

279
00:17:59,519 –> 00:18:02,599
not sit by and let these killers kill us. Also

280
00:18:02,759 –> 00:18:06,759
said during the ceremony, Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu and his

281
00:18:06,799 –> 00:18:10,720
wife Sarah Natanyahoo at the National Police Academy lit the

282
00:18:10,759 –> 00:18:14,680
first Harneka candle together with National Security Minister at Omar

283
00:18:14,839 –> 00:18:18,240
benji Ver and his wife Ayala, and the Israel Police

284
00:18:18,240 –> 00:18:21,680
Inspector General Danny Levy at the Harnaka ceremony that was

285
00:18:21,720 –> 00:18:25,160
attended by the family of the National counter Terrorism Unit

286
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:30,240
fighter Master Sergeant Ranjivili of Blessed Memory, who fought bravely

287
00:18:30,279 –> 00:18:34,000
on October seventh and was taken hostage to Gaza. Israel

288
00:18:34,039 –> 00:18:38,279
Police Chief Rabbi Rami Berricahou, the senior police command staff,

289
00:18:38,559 –> 00:18:41,720
and male and female police officers. According to the news

290
00:18:41,759 –> 00:18:44,880
release made available by the Office of the Prime Minister

291
00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:48,680
of Israel, that we will bring ranback, just as we

292
00:18:48,759 –> 00:18:51,319
brought back two hundred and fifty four out of our

293
00:18:51,359 –> 00:18:55,839
two hundred and fifty five abductees. Some did not believe.

294
00:18:56,160 –> 00:19:00,240
I believe my friends in the government believed. They said

295
00:19:00,519 –> 00:19:04,720
it will be a miracle. I said, this nation performs miracles.

296
00:19:05,119 –> 00:19:08,359
The Holy One, blessed be He helps a people who

297
00:19:08,480 –> 00:19:11,880
help themselves. We are a people who have learned to

298
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:15,319
help ourselves because we knew that in times of distress,

299
00:19:15,599 –> 00:19:18,160
it is not certain that anyone else will help us.

300
00:19:18,960 –> 00:19:21,759
This was largely our fate in exile, with waves of

301
00:19:21,799 –> 00:19:28,200
antisemitism that kept returning, rising, returning, rising, and returning rising.

302
00:19:28,920 –> 00:19:31,880
What changed with the establishment of the State of Israel

303
00:19:32,119 –> 00:19:35,559
was not the disappearance of antisemitism, but our ability to

304
00:19:35,599 –> 00:19:39,599
repel the massacres and mass murders against Jews, which always

305
00:19:39,640 –> 00:19:44,839
followed numerous accusations, lies and insults. That is the change.

306
00:19:45,200 –> 00:19:49,319
Even today they try to murder, and sadly, even today

307
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:54,640
they succeeded in murdering Jews. They massacred Jews in Sydney, Australia.

308
00:19:55,079 –> 00:19:57,720
Four months ago, I wrote a letter to the Prime

309
00:19:57,759 –> 00:20:05,039
Minister of Australia. Your policy encourages terrorism, it encourages antisemitism.

310
00:20:05,319 –> 00:20:08,440
You call for a Palestinian state, and you are essentially

311
00:20:08,480 –> 00:20:11,279
giving a prize to Hamas for the terrible massacre they

312
00:20:11,359 –> 00:20:16,000
carried out on October seventh. You are legitimizing all these rioters,

313
00:20:16,000 –> 00:20:18,400
and you are not lifting a finger to eliminate these

314
00:20:18,480 –> 00:20:23,160
terror hotspots. This will lead to more murders. He did nothing.

315
00:20:23,480 –> 00:20:26,960
We know there will be additional attacks. The safest place

316
00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:29,519
for the Jewish people in the world is where the government,

317
00:20:29,880 –> 00:20:33,319
the army and the security forces will defend them. That

318
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:36,160
is first and foremost in the state of Israel, because

319
00:20:36,200 –> 00:20:40,480
we defend ourselves, and we defend ourselves with the help

320
00:20:40,519 –> 00:20:43,839
of the IDF, with the help of the security forces,

321
00:20:44,079 –> 00:20:46,359
and with the help of the brave male and female

322
00:20:46,400 –> 00:20:51,039
offices of the Israel Police, honored guests and friends, National

323
00:20:51,079 –> 00:20:55,160
Security Minister to Mar ben Jeeva, his wife Ayalah, the

324
00:20:55,200 –> 00:20:59,359
Police Inspector General, the command staff, and the academy graduates.

325
00:20:59,599 –> 00:21:02,599
You were on the first line of defense on October seventh.

326
00:21:03,279 –> 00:21:05,880
I do not forget that I was on the line,

327
00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:08,559
and I saw the line of the heroes and heroines,

328
00:21:08,920 –> 00:21:11,880
the female police officers who fought and fell, and the

329
00:21:11,880 –> 00:21:15,759
male police officers who fought and fell. A tremendous hero,

330
00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:19,559
ran Jevili simply fought until the last bullet, with a

331
00:21:19,599 –> 00:21:23,920
broken arm, but with an unwavering spirit. Somehow we returned

332
00:21:23,960 –> 00:21:27,519
to our land after the exile imposed upon us, and

333
00:21:27,640 –> 00:21:30,440
the first thing we had to renew was our capacity

334
00:21:30,480 –> 00:21:33,839
for self defense. This is what we have been doing

335
00:21:33,880 –> 00:21:37,319
over the past two years, with renewed vigor and great success.

336
00:21:38,160 –> 00:21:42,880
We essentially represent the free world, modern civilization against the

337
00:21:42,920 –> 00:21:45,680
barbarians who want to return us to the Middle Ages.

338
00:21:46,480 –> 00:21:49,119
That is what they want, and like in the days

339
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:52,680
of the Maccabies, they hesitate the few against the many.

340
00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:55,559
We are a nation of about ten million against many,

341
00:21:55,920 –> 00:21:58,720
against the enemies who only recently fought us as two

342
00:21:58,880 –> 00:22:03,160
hundred million. True, they attacked us, they caused us an

343
00:22:03,240 –> 00:22:07,359
unbearable disaster on October seventh, but on October eighth it

344
00:22:07,440 –> 00:22:12,160
already turned around. We went and struck them clockwise, first

345
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:16,359
in Gaza, then in Lebanon, then in Syria, also in Iraq,

346
00:22:16,640 –> 00:22:20,880
and above all in Iran. No one believed, No one

347
00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:23,480
believed in the miracles and wonders in those days and

348
00:22:23,559 –> 00:22:27,680
in this time. But we believed. You believe. I want

349
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:31,839
to commend you Police Offices of Israel, continue to believe,

350
00:22:32,240 –> 00:22:36,240
continue to safeguard us and also safeguard one another. Thank

351
00:22:36,319 –> 00:22:39,000
you very much. On behalf of the people of Israel

352
00:22:39,039 –> 00:22:44,000
throughout the generations. Happy Harnkot to all of you. Australia

353
00:22:44,119 –> 00:22:47,480
Prime Minister Antony Albanese, in a post tweeted on his

354
00:22:47,599 –> 00:22:51,839
ex social media platform a few hours ago, said, in

355
00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:56,839
moments like this, we must come together. Australia stands united

356
00:22:56,920 –> 00:23:00,200
against hatred and terror. In numbers of tweed since the

357
00:23:00,240 –> 00:23:04,519
attack on Sunday, the Australia Prime Minister said tonight and

358
00:23:04,559 –> 00:23:08,000
over the coming days, we are holding the Jewish community close.

359
00:23:08,839 –> 00:23:12,119
For the Eid Nights of Harnaker. Jewish families around the

360
00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:15,599
world fill their windows with light, something that has been

361
00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:20,200
passed down through generations. Tonight I am lighting a candle

362
00:23:20,240 –> 00:23:25,359
in solidarity with the Australian Jewish community, because when antisemitism

363
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:28,519
and hate rears its ugly head, we don’t shy away.

364
00:23:29,319 –> 00:23:33,079
We will confront the darkness with light. Together. Today I

365
00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:36,319
convene National Cabinet to respond to the act of terror

366
00:23:36,319 –> 00:23:40,319
and antisemitism in Bondai last night. We stand with Jewish

367
00:23:40,359 –> 00:23:44,839
Australians and we stand against hatred and violence. Australia is

368
00:23:44,880 –> 00:23:47,240
stronger than those who try to divide us, and we

369
00:23:47,319 –> 00:23:51,039
will come through this together. The dedication and commitment of

370
00:23:51,079 –> 00:23:54,720
police offices was on full display last night when off

371
00:23:54,799 –> 00:23:58,240
duty offices turned up to Bonday to help. They are

372
00:23:58,279 –> 00:24:01,599
the best of Australia. I received a briefing at Bondai

373
00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:05,079
Police Station and was able to thank many offices personally.

374
00:24:05,880 –> 00:24:08,200
Thank you to all our police for your courage and

375
00:24:08,240 –> 00:24:12,720
your service. Australia will not be divided by hate or violence.

376
00:24:13,240 –> 00:24:16,359
We will confront it head on and we will stand

377
00:24:16,400 –> 00:24:19,920
together in solidarity with Jewish Australians and with one another.

378
00:24:20,720 –> 00:24:24,039
Yesterday was a dark day in our nation’s history, but

379
00:24:24,079 –> 00:24:26,880
we are stronger than the cowards who did this. We

380
00:24:26,920 –> 00:24:30,599
refuse to let them divide us. Australia will never submit

381
00:24:30,640 –> 00:24:34,359
to division, violence or hatred, and we will come through

382
00:24:34,400 –> 00:24:38,400
this together. We had reported that not less than eleven persons,

383
00:24:38,440 –> 00:24:41,759
said to be mostly from the Jewish community and police offices,

384
00:24:41,799 –> 00:24:44,880
were shot dead by terrorists on Sunday at Bondi Beach

385
00:24:44,960 –> 00:24:48,759
in the Sydney city of Australia, as thousands came out

386
00:24:48,759 –> 00:24:52,440
to mark this year Harnaka or Hannaker Festival, a festival

387
00:24:52,480 –> 00:24:55,920
that is known as the Jewish Festival of Lights, usually

388
00:24:55,920 –> 00:24:59,400
an eight day winter celebration marking event of the rededication

389
00:24:59,599 –> 00:25:02,960
of the se Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miraculous

390
00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:06,880
long lasting oil supply, observed by lighting candles on a

391
00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:11,839
minora Charlukia and reciting special prayers and eating oily foods

392
00:25:12,039 –> 00:25:16,319
like lakers and seganiot, which symbolizes Jewish resilience and freedom.

393
00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:19,599
The terrorists attack the Jewish community on the first day

394
00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:23,599
of the festival after Israel government had on Saturday authorized

395
00:25:23,599 –> 00:25:26,920
the killing of a senior HAMAS commander Rad Sad, who

396
00:25:27,079 –> 00:25:30,039
Israel through a statement issued by the Office of the

397
00:25:30,039 –> 00:25:34,240
Prime Minister of Israel stated that in recent days Rad

398
00:25:34,319 –> 00:25:38,799
Sad had been engaged in rehabilitating the terrorist organization, planning

399
00:25:38,839 –> 00:25:42,119
and carrying out attacks against Israel and rebuilding an attack

400
00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:45,519
force in blatant violation of the cease fire rules and

401
00:25:45,559 –> 00:25:49,000
Hamas’s commitments to adhere to the U S. President Donald

402
00:25:49,039 –> 00:25:54,240
Trump’s plan, stating instead of promoting demilitarization, he was engaged

403
00:25:54,279 –> 00:25:58,160
in rearming for acts of terrorism. Although Israel government has

404
00:25:58,240 –> 00:26:02,200
not issued any statement since the Sunday attacks on Jewish

405
00:26:02,240 –> 00:26:04,960

408
00:26:12,119 –> 00:26:15,599
had since been killed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza

409
00:26:15,680 –> 00:26:18,960
city of Palestine. One of the video footagers of the

410
00:26:19,039 –> 00:26:22,319
Sunday attack on the Jewish community in Sydney showed a

411
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:25,640
moment an apparent very brave man disarmed one of the

412
00:26:25,680 –> 00:26:30,319
gunmen during the mass shooting, overpowered the suspected terrorists, collected

413
00:26:30,319 –> 00:26:33,160
the gun and turned the gun against the suspected terrorist

414
00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:36,799
without shooting him, and the suspect gets away then joins

415
00:26:36,839 –> 00:26:47,480

00:27:28,759 –> 00:27:32,039
community on the first day of the festival after Israel

467
00:30:00,920 –> 00:30:03,720
The man who was seen in footage wrestling a firearm

468
00:30:03,839 –> 00:30:06,400
from one of the shooters at Bondi Beach has been

469
00:30:06,440 –> 00:30:09,759

state Premier, Christopher john Mins. The state Premier, Christopher Minns

471
00:30:15,079 –> 00:30:18,200
said at a press conference on Sunday that it’s the

472
00:30:18,200 –> 00:30:21,599
most unbelievable scene I’ve ever seen, a man walking up

473
00:30:21,640 –> 00:30:24,039
to a gunman who had fired on the community and

474
00:30:24,119 –> 00:30:27,680
single handedly disarming him, putting his own life at risk

475
00:30:27,799 –> 00:30:31,160
to save the lives of countless others. That man is

476
00:30:31,200 –> 00:30:33,599
a genuine hero and I’ve got no doubt that there

477
00:30:33,599 –> 00:30:36,440
are many many people alive to night as a result

478
00:30:36,480 –> 00:30:40,799
of his bravery. Christopher john Mins had in some hours

479
00:30:40,799 –> 00:30:44,400

480
00:30:44,799 –> 00:30:47,960
Harnackah is the festival of lights, and I know those

481
00:30:48,039 –> 00:30:50,359
of us in the Jewish community will be taking this

482
00:30:50,480 –> 00:30:54,559
opportunity to be with family and friends, light the Harnekah candles,

483
00:30:54,799 –> 00:30:59,440
sing traditional songs, and eat lakers and jam doughnuts. New

484
00:30:59,519 –> 00:31:02,680
South Wales has been the home for Jewish people ever

485
00:31:02,759 –> 00:31:05,960
since eight Jus sailed here on the first fleet. You

486
00:31:06,079 –> 00:31:10,720
have made an enormous, positive, sustained contribution to this country

487
00:31:11,480 –> 00:31:13,839
and thank you for sharing your light with us here

488
00:31:13,920 –> 00:31:17,960
in New South Wales. Happy Harneker. The Office of the

489
00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:21,640
Prime Minister of Israel on Saturday published a joint statement

490
00:31:21,720 –> 00:31:24,920
by the Israeli Prime Minister and the Defense Minister, which

491
00:31:24,960 –> 00:31:29,000
read verbatim below, us in response to the detonation of

492
00:31:29,000 –> 00:31:32,440
a Hamas explosive device that wounded our forces today in

493
00:31:32,440 –> 00:31:36,039
the Yellow area of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin

494
00:31:36,119 –> 00:31:40,079
LETTANYAHUU and Defence Minister Israel Cats directed that the senior

495
00:31:40,119 –> 00:31:44,680
Hamas terrorist Rad Sad be eliminated. Saad was one of

496
00:31:44,720 –> 00:31:48,319
the architects of the October seventh massacre and in recent

497
00:31:48,440 –> 00:31:52,160
days had been engaged in rehabilitating the terrorist organization and

498
00:31:52,240 –> 00:31:55,680
in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel and rebuilding

499
00:31:55,680 –> 00:31:59,359
an attack force in blatant violation of the ceasefire rules

500
00:31:59,359 –> 00:32:03,920
and hamases commitments to adhere to President Trump’s plan. Instead

501
00:32:03,920 –> 00:32:08,119
of promoting demilitarization, he was engaged in rearming for acts

502
00:32:08,119 –> 00:32:12,400
of terrorism. Whoever raises his hand against Israel and harms

503
00:32:12,400 –> 00:32:15,599
IDF soldiers, his hand will be cut off in Gaza

504
00:32:15,640 –> 00:32:19,839
and everywhere else. On behalf of all the citizens of Israel,

505
00:32:20,200 –> 00:32:23,000
the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister wish a speedy

506
00:32:23,079 –> 00:32:27,759
recovery to our wounded fighters. Her Mass, according to Al Jazeera,

507
00:32:27,839 –> 00:32:31,200
on Sunday, confirmed the killing of its senior commander in

508
00:32:31,240 –> 00:32:34,839
an Israeli strike in Gaza, in the highest profile assassination

509
00:32:34,960 –> 00:32:38,480
of a senior HERMAS figure since the October cease fire deal.

510
00:32:39,279 –> 00:32:42,759
In the wake of Israel’s continued violations, including the latest

511
00:32:42,759 –> 00:32:47,440
assassination of her Mass commander Rad Sad just yesterday, we

512
00:32:47,480 –> 00:32:50,920
call on the mediators, and especially the US administration and

513
00:32:51,119 –> 00:32:54,200
U S President Donald Trump, as the main guaranteur of

514
00:32:54,240 –> 00:32:57,680
the agreement, to force Israel to respect the ceasefire deal

515
00:32:57,799 –> 00:33:00,960
and to implement it. Her Mass Gazad chief Khalil al

516
00:33:01,039 –> 00:33:11,680
Hayer said in a video statement on Sunday. Founder of

517
00:33:11,759 –> 00:33:16,559
Sahara a reporter’s news media, Omile Saware, on Saturday apparently

518
00:33:16,599 –> 00:33:19,880
refused to back down on allegations against the founder and

519
00:33:19,920 –> 00:33:24,359
the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman,

520
00:33:24,480 –> 00:33:28,359
over reported cases of alleged paying people to fake miracles

521
00:33:28,400 –> 00:33:32,319
and give a chemical substance or injection to Apostle O. C.

522
00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:36,359
Benjamin of Fulfiller’s House Church to perfect an alleged fake

523
00:33:36,440 –> 00:33:39,759
miracle of raising a dead man back to life, an

524
00:33:39,759 –> 00:33:44,279
allegation a man simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made while

525
00:33:44,319 –> 00:33:49,160
speaking during an interview with Cartruth Media earlier in the year, which,

526
00:33:49,559 –> 00:33:53,759
according to Omile Saware, for Apostle Johnson Suleiman to remove

527
00:33:53,839 –> 00:33:57,000
the names of the media that conducted the podcast interview

528
00:33:57,079 –> 00:33:59,559
and the person that made the statement in the one

529
00:33:59,599 –> 00:34:03,680
billion naira’s lawsuit filed against him and sahar Airporters News

530
00:34:03,720 –> 00:34:08,880
Media shows Apostle Johnson Suleman knows the speaker, Apostle Wisdom

531
00:34:09,000 –> 00:34:12,920
was probably saying the truth. This, omi Yele Saware stated

532
00:34:12,960 –> 00:34:16,960
in reaction to the statement earlier made by Apostle Johnson

533
00:34:17,119 –> 00:34:22,159
Suleiman on his personal social media accounts on Saturday, accusing

534
00:34:22,199 –> 00:34:25,800
the founder of Sahara Reporters, omi Yele Saware of always

535
00:34:25,880 –> 00:34:28,559
trying to play the victim’s role that wants to be

536
00:34:28,639 –> 00:34:33,079
persecuted for fighting for Nigeria whenever a case is filed

537
00:34:33,079 –> 00:34:35,960
against him in the court of law for passing across

538
00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:40,360
false and misleading information to defame someone’s character, saying that

539
00:34:40,880 –> 00:34:43,880
forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt and one

540
00:34:43,880 –> 00:34:48,239
cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse.

541
00:34:49,079 –> 00:34:53,159
In the podcast interview, Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle Benjamin,

542
00:34:53,199 –> 00:34:56,320
in conspiracy with some members of his church, hired a

543
00:34:56,360 –> 00:34:59,360
man from Enugu’s state and numbers of other persons who

544
00:34:59,440 –> 00:35:02,039
acted as n his neighbors and family members that brought

545
00:35:02,119 –> 00:35:05,039
the hired and paid man to the church program held

546
00:35:05,079 –> 00:35:08,280
in a Bonyie state as a dead man. According to

547
00:35:08,320 –> 00:35:11,519
the Apostle Wisdom, the hired man who pretended to be

548
00:35:11,599 –> 00:35:14,760
dead was put inside a coffin and transported from Enugu

549
00:35:14,840 –> 00:35:18,000
to a Bonyie state with an ambulance. He said the

550
00:35:18,039 –> 00:35:21,079
coffin was not covered until the man was brought closer

551
00:35:21,119 –> 00:35:24,000
to the church to avoid him being killed out of suffocation.

552
00:35:24,880 –> 00:35:28,079
Apostle Wisdom said the initial plan was to inject the

553
00:35:28,159 –> 00:35:31,599
hired and paid man with an injection Apostle Johnson Suleman

554
00:35:31,679 –> 00:35:36,320
allegedly gave to Apostle Benjamin. Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle

555
00:35:36,360 –> 00:35:39,559
Benjamin refused to use the injection because he was afraid

556
00:35:39,599 –> 00:35:43,920
that the chemical substance may kill the hired and paid man. Hence,

557
00:35:44,280 –> 00:35:46,880
they decided to open the coffin until the time for

558
00:35:46,920 –> 00:35:50,280
the fake and staged miracle was to be conducted. To

559
00:35:50,400 –> 00:35:53,760
buttress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said, the man that was

560
00:35:53,800 –> 00:35:56,119
brought as if he was dead to the church program

561
00:35:56,320 –> 00:35:58,880
was sweating because the few minutes the man was covered

562
00:35:58,920 –> 00:36:01,760
inside the coffin, he suffered some level of heat that

563
00:36:01,880 –> 00:36:05,480
made his body start sweating. Sir Warey, in numbers of

564
00:36:05,519 –> 00:36:10,599
statements between Friday and Saturday, said, for your information, Apostle

565
00:36:10,679 –> 00:36:14,320
Johnson Suleman has sued me regarding the controversy surrounding his

566
00:36:14,360 –> 00:36:18,639
alleged support for individuals faking miracles during an interview conducted

567
00:36:18,679 –> 00:36:23,039
by car Truth. This lawsuit marks the second occasion Apostle

568
00:36:23,119 –> 00:36:27,280
Johnson’s Suleman has taken legal action against me over contentious

569
00:36:27,320 –> 00:36:31,760
decisions made during his ministry, following a previous lawsuit concerning

570
00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:36,039
Stephanie Otobo that he later amended and removed Otobo. The

571
00:36:36,159 –> 00:36:39,519
case has been ongoing for approximately eight years, and the

572
00:36:39,559 –> 00:36:42,320
most straightforward aspect to prove in court would be the

573
00:36:42,360 –> 00:36:47,920
matter of miracles. Apostle Johnson, Sulima, this Charlatanism’s who is

574
00:36:48,000 –> 00:36:51,320
asking you for forgiveness? You sued me eight years ago

575
00:36:51,400 –> 00:36:54,760
over Stephanie Otobo exposes and later sought to end the

576
00:36:54,800 –> 00:36:59,159
lawsuit on the condition that I stop exposing you. I refused.

577
00:36:59,440 –> 00:37:02,039
You sent for Rank Shaybu to plead on your behalf.

578
00:37:02,519 –> 00:37:05,719
I told him plainly that the facts were correct. At

579
00:37:05,719 –> 00:37:09,239
the time, the Nigeria Police Force was at your beck

580
00:37:09,320 –> 00:37:13,719
and call arresting whoever you pointed at. That era is over.

581
00:37:14,039 –> 00:37:17,000
We ended it completely. You even went as far as

582
00:37:17,039 –> 00:37:20,360
offering to stand surety for me when the Mohammadu Buhari

583
00:37:20,400 –> 00:37:24,599
regime arrested and detained me for treason. I rejected your

584
00:37:24,639 –> 00:37:27,760
Greek gift outright and called you out from detention because

585
00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:31,400
I know your style too well. This latest noise is

586
00:37:31,480 –> 00:37:35,199
pure bluster. If you were serious about any legal challenge,

587
00:37:35,440 –> 00:37:38,280
you would have included the podcaster car Truth and the

588
00:37:38,360 –> 00:37:42,159
individual who alleged that you assisted other pastors in staging

589
00:37:42,199 –> 00:37:46,400
fake miracles. You claimed they’ve apologized and claimed they don’t

590
00:37:46,480 –> 00:37:50,079
know you. This was a lie. The podcast is very

591
00:37:50,159 –> 00:37:53,920
much alive and unattracted. You avoided them because you know

592
00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:57,119
where the truth flies. I do not need anyone to

593
00:37:57,159 –> 00:38:01,079
tell me that you perform fake miracles. Staged money alerts

594
00:38:01,079 –> 00:38:04,920
to your congregation are well known and long documented. Could

595
00:38:04,920 –> 00:38:07,480
you please explain to the public why you amended your

596
00:38:07,559 –> 00:38:12,840
lawsuit against me Sahara Reporters and removed Stephanie Ottobo. Was

597
00:38:12,880 –> 00:38:16,079
it not because you feared she would testify as my witness,

598
00:38:16,159 –> 00:38:18,920
after which you paid her to come apologize before your

599
00:38:18,960 –> 00:38:22,719
congregation and then sent her fake alert. Did you not

600
00:38:22,880 –> 00:38:26,719
purchase a Mercedes Benz GLKSUV in the house in the

601
00:38:26,760 –> 00:38:30,960
Maryland area of Lagos for a Nollywood actress, Daniela Okeke

602
00:38:31,440 –> 00:38:34,719
and when we uncovered the receipts, rushed to the Lagos

603
00:38:34,800 –> 00:38:37,960
State government to scrub the evidence from the vehicle licensing

604
00:38:38,039 –> 00:38:42,719
database website. I am particularly interested in this lawsuit because

605
00:38:42,760 –> 00:38:45,159
the time has come for Charlatan’s like you to be

606
00:38:45,199 –> 00:38:48,119
confronted before a court of law and compelled to prove

607
00:38:48,239 –> 00:38:51,599
your so called miracles and defend your ways before the courts.

608
00:38:52,000 –> 00:38:55,000
After all, you were the one who had sued. I

609
00:38:55,039 –> 00:38:58,599
am not the victim here. My concern is for your victims,

610
00:38:59,000 –> 00:39:01,920
those whose meager offerings and tides you have diverted to

611
00:39:02,000 –> 00:39:06,000
fund these decadent pursuits. I feel deeply for them, including

612
00:39:06,039 –> 00:39:09,519
the Nigeria Police Force officers who had to perish defending

613
00:39:09,559 –> 00:39:13,960
your decadent lifestyle in unarmored vehicles at the same time

614
00:39:14,320 –> 00:39:19,360
you rode in bulletproof armored cars into safety. Apostle Johnson Suleman,

615
00:39:19,440 –> 00:39:23,280
in a statement on Saturday, said, you omi Yele Saware

616
00:39:23,440 –> 00:39:27,360
have consistently defamed individuals and whenever you are challenged to

617
00:39:27,360 –> 00:39:30,880
substantiate your claims, you retreat under the guise of being

618
00:39:30,960 –> 00:39:35,559
persecuted for fighting for Nigeria. No one is attempting to

619
00:39:35,639 –> 00:39:39,000
silence you. Rather, the goal is to expose you for

620
00:39:39,039 –> 00:39:42,480
the fraud that you are. You Saware lied and defamed me,

621
00:39:43,000 –> 00:39:46,559
dragging my name into a fabricated story involving people I

622
00:39:46,599 –> 00:39:48,920
have never met, and you were warned and given ample

623
00:39:49,000 –> 00:39:52,920
time to retract the falsehood, but you refused. Why the

624
00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:55,880
sudden attempt to play the victim simply because the matter

625
00:39:56,000 –> 00:39:59,360
is now in court. I am among those who genuinely

626
00:39:59,400 –> 00:40:03,519
believe Naionigeria needs cleansing, but not through hypocrisy or deceit.

627
00:40:04,360 –> 00:40:09,840
Fair journalism demands that your publications be balanced, verified and unbiased,

628
00:40:10,360 –> 00:40:14,599
qualities you obviously have no regards for. For eight years

629
00:40:14,960 –> 00:40:18,400
I chose to ignore you. That restraint has now ended.

630
00:40:18,800 –> 00:40:23,119
Every further unsubstantiated attack on pastors and churches in Nigeria

631
00:40:23,599 –> 00:40:26,960
driven by your anti church and anti pastor agenda will

632
00:40:27,000 –> 00:40:30,960
no longer go without an appropriate legal response to those

633
00:40:31,039 –> 00:40:35,760
calling for forgiveness, understand this Clearly, forgiveness is predicated on

634
00:40:35,840 –> 00:40:39,480
the admission of guilt. One cannot forgive someone who has

635
00:40:39,519 –> 00:40:44,280
neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse. As stated in First

636
00:40:44,559 –> 00:40:50,960
John one nine, forgiveness follows confession, not denial. Sahara reporters,

637
00:40:50,960 –> 00:40:53,559
in a news report over the issue, has stated that

638
00:40:54,039 –> 00:40:59,320
Apostle Johnson Suleiman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International,

639
00:40:59,679 –> 00:41:02,760
has issued a forty eight hour ultimatum to Sahara Reporters,

640
00:41:03,119 –> 00:41:06,360
demanding a retraction of a report published in April twenty

641
00:41:06,440 –> 00:41:11,199
twenty five and an apology across multiple national newspapers. The

642
00:41:11,719 –> 00:41:15,119
cleric is also seeking one billion niers in damages over

643
00:41:15,199 –> 00:41:18,920
what he describes as malicious and defamatory allegations linking him

644
00:41:18,920 –> 00:41:23,280
to a staged resurrection miracle. The dispute stems from claims

645
00:41:23,320 –> 00:41:27,039
made by Apostle Wisdom, a self styled former associate of

646
00:41:27,079 –> 00:41:30,800
several Nigerian clergymen, who alleged in a viral interview that

647
00:41:30,880 –> 00:41:35,440
Apostle OC Benjamin of Fulphillis’s House Church staged a fake

648
00:41:35,519 –> 00:41:41,519
resurrection using an injection allegedly obtained from Apostle Suleman. According

649
00:41:41,559 –> 00:41:45,000
to Wisdom, the substance was intended to temporarily make a

650
00:41:45,039 –> 00:41:48,039
person appear dead for the purpose of performing a miracle

651
00:41:48,079 –> 00:41:52,079
at a crusade. The claims were amplified in an April fourth,

652
00:41:52,159 –> 00:41:57,320
twenty twenty five Saha Reporters publication titled Apostle Johnson Suleiman

653
00:41:57,400 –> 00:42:01,760
gave Fulphillis House Church as OC Benjamin injection to make

654
00:42:01,840 –> 00:42:06,039
some one appear dead for staged resurrection miracle. Ex associate

655
00:42:06,800 –> 00:42:10,360
in the interview granted to The car Truth’s podcast, Apostle

656
00:42:10,360 –> 00:42:13,880
Wisdom had alleged that the supposed miracle was executed using

657
00:42:13,920 –> 00:42:18,360
a hired young man, rented ambulance, purchased casket, and paid

658
00:42:18,400 –> 00:42:22,599
actors who posed as grieving relatives. According to him, the

659
00:42:22,679 –> 00:42:26,039
scheme was part of a co ordinated plan to deceive worshippers.

660
00:42:26,159 –> 00:42:30,280
During a program in Abercliki, he claimed that Apostle Benjamin

661
00:42:30,320 –> 00:42:33,840
initially intended to use the alleged injection linked to Suleman,

662
00:42:34,000 –> 00:42:36,719
but backed out over fears the young man might actually

663
00:42:36,800 –> 00:42:43,559
die Myoga. Apostle O C. Benjamin collected injection from Apostle Suleman,

664
00:42:43,960 –> 00:42:47,880
he told me himself, Wisdom said. In the interview, he

665
00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:52,599
described intricate preparations, paying people to act as family members,

666
00:42:52,960 –> 00:42:56,719
transporting the dead body from Enugu State, and staging dramatic

667
00:42:56,800 –> 00:43:00,360
confrontations with ushes who initially refused to allow the basket

668
00:43:00,440 –> 00:43:04,679
inside the hall. Wisdom narrated how the dead man shut

669
00:43:04,760 –> 00:43:09,280
inside the coffin, endured heat and near suffocation before sneezing

670
00:43:09,519 –> 00:43:13,360
at the climax of the performance, triggering wild dubilation from

671
00:43:13,440 –> 00:43:16,719
the crowd. The angel in charge of raising the dead

672
00:43:16,880 –> 00:43:21,199
was even confused that day because nobody died, he mockingly remarked,

673
00:43:21,480 –> 00:43:26,199
describing the atmosphere as both chaotic and deeply manipulative. However,

674
00:43:26,639 –> 00:43:29,559
the fallout from the interview has now escalated into a

675
00:43:29,599 –> 00:43:33,880
full blown legal confrontation. In a letter dated April eighth,

676
00:43:34,000 –> 00:43:38,239
twenty twenty five, and addressed to Saha Airporter’s publisher Omiele

677
00:43:38,400 –> 00:43:43,639
sa Ware, Suleman’s lawyers, clement On Duemuner and Company accused

678
00:43:43,639 –> 00:43:47,559
the media platform of propagating outright falsehoods without verifying from

679
00:43:47,639 –> 00:43:51,639
the cleric. The letter described the publication as an aggravated

680
00:43:51,679 –> 00:43:55,480
libelist assault crafted from the spiral imaginations of a mischief

681
00:43:55,519 –> 00:44:00,000
maker and blackmailer whose allegations were spread uncritically our class

682
00:44:00,000 –> 00:44:03,920
and has never met any apostle Oc Benjamin, not to

683
00:44:04,000 –> 00:44:07,400
talk of giving him injection or substance to inject anyone

684
00:44:07,480 –> 00:44:12,880
to stage manage resurrection miracles, the letter stated. Suleiman’s lawyers

685
00:44:12,920 –> 00:44:17,360
also referenced a new video by Apostle Oc Benjamin himself,

686
00:44:17,639 –> 00:44:22,199
which has reportedly been circulating online. In the video, Benjamin

687
00:44:22,239 –> 00:44:26,880
allegedly denies ever meeting Apostle Suleiman, dismissing the claims attributed

688
00:44:26,920 –> 00:44:31,840
to Apostle Wisdom as false, fabricated, and malicious. According to

689
00:44:31,880 –> 00:44:36,639
Suleiman’s legal team, Saha Airporter’s willingness to publish the allegations

690
00:44:36,639 –> 00:44:40,440
despite the absence of verification, demonstrates a frenzied effort to

691
00:44:40,480 –> 00:44:44,079
disparage our client and constitutes the most wicked attack on

692
00:44:44,159 –> 00:44:47,840
the towering image of the televangelist. The letter issued a

693
00:44:47,880 –> 00:44:51,920
strict forty eight hour deadline for Sahara Airporters too retract

694
00:44:52,000 –> 00:44:55,119
the publication from all online platforms where it appeared and

695
00:44:55,159 –> 00:44:59,519
publish a formal apology on the same platforms. Published full

696
00:44:59,559 –> 00:45:04,760
page of apologies in Punch, Guardian, Vanguard, Tribune and Sunday

697
00:45:04,800 –> 00:45:10,320
Sun newspapers pay one billion nira’s one billion nirah as damages.

698
00:45:10,840 –> 00:45:14,639
Failure to meet these conditions, the lawyers said, would compel

699
00:45:14,679 –> 00:45:20,400
them to perfect our clients standing instructions signaling impending litigation.

700
00:45:20,920 –> 00:45:23,880
The letter was copied to Apostle sole Man himself and

701
00:45:23,960 –> 00:45:25,639
marked pre litigation notice.

702
00:45:26,679 –> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: So while he was there, quickly rushed this guy who

703
00:45:42,079 –> 00:45:47,239

841
00:56:16,920 –> 00:56:20,320
The Command extends its deepest sympathies to the families of

842
00:56:20,360 –> 00:56:23,400
the victims and to the entire Lillou community, and assures

843
00:56:23,440 –> 00:56:26,199
the public that the police shall relentlessly hunt down the

844
00:56:26,280 –> 00:56:30,480
perpetrators of this crime. The CP notes that no community

845
00:56:30,519 –> 00:56:33,559
should be subjected to such brutality, as the Command will

846
00:56:33,639 –> 00:56:37,119
not allow criminals to instill fear or destabilize the peace

847
00:56:37,239 –> 00:56:41,599
we are working tirelessly to maintain. In view of the above,

848
00:56:42,000 –> 00:56:46,719
the Command has already intensified intelligence driven operations deployed the

850
00:56:51,400 –> 00:56:54,440
operatives of following every lead as no resource will be

851
00:56:54,559 –> 00:56:57,960
spared in ensuring that those responsible are apprehended and made

852
00:56:58,039 –> 00:57:01,039
to face the full weight of the law. The Command

853
00:57:01,199 –> 00:57:04,079
urges residents to remain calm and co operate with the

854
00:57:04,199 –> 00:57:08,039
Joint Security Team by providing useful information that can assist

855
00:57:08,159 –> 00:57:12,840

Nigeria troops both there and land soldiers have successfully foiled

862
00:57:40,239 –> 00:57:44,559
the coup attempt in Benin Republic on Sunday, saying latest

863

and according to the Nigeria President, Nigeria government acted on

869
00:58:06,280 –> 00:58:10,039
two separate requests from the government of Benin Republic, saying

870
00:58:10,440 –> 00:58:14,800
President Danubu first ordered Nigerian Air Force fighter jets to

871
00:58:15,039 –> 00:58:17,719
enter the country and take over the airspace to help

872
00:58:17,800 –> 00:58:20,559
dislodge the coup plotters from the National TV in the

873
00:58:20,679 –> 00:58:24,400
military camp where they had regrouped, and secondly ordered ground

874
00:58:24,519 –> 00:58:28,239
troops into the Benin Republic territory, which the Nigeria military

875
00:58:28,320 –> 00:58:31,559
troops have been confirmed to have taken positions in both

876
00:58:31,639 –> 00:58:34,559
air and land space in the Benin Republic, with some

877
00:58:34,719 –> 00:58:37,559
local residents saying a few minutes ago that the gun

878
00:58:37,679 –> 00:58:42,360
battle is still ongoing. BeO on Anuga, the spokesperson to

879
00:58:42,440 –> 00:58:45,719
the Nigeria President, in a number of statements on Sunday,

880
00:58:45,840 –> 00:58:51,119
said coup in Benin fails. Mutineers in military uniform who

881
00:58:51,159 –> 00:58:55,760
attempted to overthrow President Patrice Talons democratic government on Sunday

882
00:58:55,840 –> 00:58:59,920
in the Republic of Benin have failed. The mutineers seized

883
00:59:00,039 –> 00:59:03,920
the National TV after failing to enter President Talon’s residents.

884
00:59:04,679 –> 00:59:08,000
The latest report from Kotanou said the National Guard has

885
00:59:08,079 –> 00:59:11,760
taken control of the situation and surrounded the television station.

886
00:59:12,679 –> 00:59:16,559
According to twenty four Hours in Benin, discussions are underway

887
00:59:16,639 –> 00:59:20,960
with the mutineers now hold up inside the station. Benin’s

888
00:59:21,000 –> 00:59:24,800
Interior Minister, a Lar Saint Cidu says the country’s armed

889
00:59:24,840 –> 00:59:28,920
forces have thwarted an attempted coup. His statement came after

890
00:59:29,079 –> 00:59:32,400
soldiers appeared on state television and announced the removal of

891
00:59:32,519 –> 00:59:36,199
President Patrise talon, the closure of borders and suspension of

892
00:59:36,239 –> 00:59:41,400
political parties. President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has commended the gallantry

893
00:59:41,480 –> 00:59:45,039
of Nigeria’s military on Sunday for responding swiftly to the

894
00:59:45,119 –> 00:59:48,199
request by the government of Benin Republic to save its

895
00:59:48,280 –> 00:59:51,719
thirty five year old democracy from coup plotters who struck

896
00:59:51,800 –> 00:59:55,440
had drawn today. Acting on two separate requests from the

897
00:59:55,519 –> 00:59:59,719
Government of Benin, President Tanubu first ordered Nigerian Air Force

898
00:59:59,760 –> 01:00:02,280
fire jets to enter the country and take over the

899
01:00:02,360 –> 01:00:05,599
airspace to help dislodge the coup plotters from the National

900
01:00:05,760 –> 01:00:09,519
TV and a military camp where they had regrouped. The

901
01:00:09,599 –> 01:00:13,480
Republic of Benin, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in

902
01:00:13,559 –> 01:00:17,880
a note verbal, requested immediate Nigerian air support in view

903
01:00:17,920 –> 01:00:20,760
of the urgency and seriousness of the situation and to

904
01:00:20,840 –> 01:00:25,599
safeguard the constitutional order, protect national institutions and insure the

905
01:00:25,639 –> 01:00:30,320
security of the population. In the second request, the authorities

906
01:00:30,360 –> 01:00:34,039
in Benin requested the deployment of Nigerian Air Force assets

907
01:00:34,119 –> 01:00:38,639
within Beninoi’s airspace for surveillance and rapid intervention operations under

908
01:00:38,679 –> 01:00:44,079
Benin led coordination. The Benin government also requested Nigerian Grand

909
01:00:44,159 –> 01:00:48,280
Forces strictly for missions approved by the Beninese Command Authority

910
01:00:48,360 –> 01:00:51,960
in support of the protection of constitutional institutions and the

911
01:00:52,039 –> 01:00:57,239
containment of armed groups. Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff, General

912
01:00:57,280 –> 01:01:01,360
Olafemi Oliidae said all the requests have been fulfilled with

913
01:01:01,559 –> 01:01:05,719
Nigerian ground forces now in Benin. Ours is to comply

914
01:01:05,920 –> 01:01:08,159
with the order of the Commander in Chief of our

915
01:01:08,320 –> 01:01:13,880
Armed Forces, President Tanubu. He said constitutional order was uphended

916
01:01:13,920 –> 01:01:18,119
in the Republic of Benin, Nigeria’s neighbor when some soldiers

917
01:01:18,239 –> 01:01:21,920
led by Colonel Pascal Tigri announced a coup on Sunday morning.

918
01:01:22,679 –> 01:01:25,760
The puchest seized the National TV and claimed they had

919
01:01:25,840 –> 01:01:31,360
tockled President Patrice Tallon and suspended all democratic institutions. It

920
01:01:31,480 –> 01:01:35,239
took some hours before the government’s loyal forces assisted by

921
01:01:35,360 –> 01:01:38,920
Nigeria took control and flushed out the coup plotters from

922
01:01:38,960 –> 01:01:42,920
the National TV. In his remarks after the restoration of

923
01:01:43,000 –> 01:01:47,800
the democratic and constitutional order, President Tanubu saluted the Nigerian

924
01:01:47,960 –> 01:01:51,199
Armed Forces for standing firm as a protector and defender

925
01:01:51,280 –> 01:01:56,159
of democracy today. The Nigerian Armed Forces stood gallantly as

926
01:01:56,199 –> 01:01:59,599
a defender and protector of constitutional order in the Republic

927
01:01:59,599 –> 01:02:03,360
of Beni. On the invitation of the government. Our armed

928
01:02:03,440 –> 01:02:06,760
forces acted within the ambit of the ECHOAZ Protocol on

929
01:02:06,880 –> 01:02:11,199
Democracy and Good Governance. They have helped stabilize a neighboring

930
01:02:11,280 –> 01:02:13,760
country and have made us proud of their commitment to

931
01:02:13,840 –> 01:02:18,159
sustaining our democratic values and ideals since nineteen ninety nine.

932
01:02:19,079 –> 01:02:22,159
Nigeria stands firmly with the government and people of the

933
01:02:22,239 –> 01:02:26,360
Republic of Benin. The latest report from the Benin Republic

934
01:02:26,480 –> 01:02:29,920
said Colonel Pascal Tigri, the leader of the mutineers who

935
01:02:30,000 –> 01:02:34,960
seized the country’s National TV on Sunday, is on the run. However,

936
01:02:35,519 –> 01:02:37,960
some other members of the group have been arrested as

937
01:02:38,000 –> 01:02:41,079
the defense and security forces in the country thwarted the

938
01:02:41,159 –> 01:02:46,000
attempted push. Benin’s Interior Minister, A Lar Saint Cidu has

939
01:02:46,039 –> 01:02:49,079
appeared on national TV to announce that the coup has

940
01:02:49,199 –> 01:02:53,480
been thwarted. Early on Sunday morning, the seventh of December

941
01:02:53,559 –> 01:02:56,920
twenty twenty five, a small group of soldiers launched a

942
01:02:57,000 –> 01:03:01,599
mutiny aimed at destabilizing the state and its institution. Faced

943
01:03:01,639 –> 01:03:05,280
with this situation, the Beninese armed forces and their leadership,

944
01:03:05,599 –> 01:03:09,239
true to their oath, remained committed to the republic. Their

945
01:03:09,320 –> 01:03:12,519
response allowed them to retain control of the situation and

946
01:03:12,679 –> 01:03:16,960
foil the attempt. The government therefore urges the population to

947
01:03:17,079 –> 01:03:21,360
go about their activities as normal. Army Yle Saware, the

948
01:03:21,480 –> 01:03:24,199
founder of Sahara Airport, as News media and a human

949
01:03:24,360 –> 01:03:28,360
rights activist, in a statement on Sunday, said, the so

950
01:03:28,559 –> 01:03:31,280
called coups in Guinea Bissau in the latest episode in

951
01:03:31,360 –> 01:03:36,360
the Benin Republic, shared disturbing similarities. In Guinea Bassau, the

952
01:03:36,440 –> 01:03:40,480
phony coup unfolded after a criminal former president effectively invited

953
01:03:40,519 –> 01:03:44,159
the military to intervene to avoid announcing elections and relinquishing

954
01:03:44,280 –> 01:03:47,920
power to an opposition figure with a popular mandate. It

955
01:03:48,159 –> 01:03:50,840
was not a seizure of power to restore order, but

956
01:03:50,960 –> 01:03:55,639
a manipulation of force to escape democratic progress. The situation

957
01:03:55,840 –> 01:04:00,360
in Benin raises equally troubling questions. There are strong indicationations

958
01:04:00,360 –> 01:04:03,719
that President Patrice Talon, a deeply shady figure and a

959
01:04:03,800 –> 01:04:07,480
close ally of Assawaju Bola aremed to Nubu, may have

960
01:04:07,639 –> 01:04:10,320
been aware of the coup plot, allowed it to unfold,

961
01:04:10,679 –> 01:04:13,360
and then used it as a political diversion to shift

962
01:04:13,440 –> 01:04:17,880
public attention away from his growing unpopularity. In this sense,

963
01:04:18,239 –> 01:04:22,280
instability becomes a calculated tool of political survival rather than

964
01:04:22,280 –> 01:04:26,760
an unforeseen threat to democracy. Of course, I am opposed

965
01:04:26,760 –> 01:04:30,360
to military rule in all its forms. I am allergic

966
01:04:30,519 –> 01:04:35,079
to it, whether invited, staged or exploited coups, and never

967
01:04:35,159 –> 01:04:39,119
a solution to political failure. The answer to bad civilian

968
01:04:39,199 –> 01:04:44,360
leadership is not guns, military jack boots and camouflage, but accountability,

969
01:04:44,679 –> 01:04:48,960
popular struggle, and genuine democracy. It would be recalled that

970
01:04:49,039 –> 01:04:52,440
a group of soldiers appeared on Benin’s national television on

971
01:04:52,559 –> 01:04:56,599
Sunday morning, claiming to have seized power. The group, which

972
01:04:56,719 –> 01:05:00,360
called itself the Military Committee for Refoundation an anounced the

973
01:05:00,440 –> 01:05:05,239
removal of President Patrice Talenn and all state institutions. Lieutenant

974
01:05:05,320 –> 01:05:09,800
Colonel Pascal Taigri was thereafter appointed president of the military Committee.

975
01:05:10,079 –> 01:05:13,920
According to the soldier, the signal of the national television

976
01:05:14,079 –> 01:05:17,480
was cut later in the morning. The French embassy said

977
01:05:17,519 –> 01:05:21,280
on x that gunfire was reported at Camp Gazzo, near

978
01:05:21,320 –> 01:05:25,360
the president’s official residence, and urged French citizens to remain indoors.

979
01:05:26,239 –> 01:05:30,079
Shortly after the soldier’s declaration, a source close to Talent

980
01:05:30,199 –> 01:05:33,599
told a f P the president was safe and the

981
01:05:33,679 –> 01:05:38,320
regular army was regaining control. Bernein’s Foreign minister a Lushegan

982
01:05:38,400 –> 01:05:42,800
Ajadi Bukhari also told Reuters the situation is under control,

983
01:05:43,320 –> 01:05:47,960
while government spokesperson Wilfrid Humberji told APP everything is fine.

984
01:05:48,159 –> 01:05:49,719
According to Al Jazeera News

985
01:05:49,800 –> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 3: Network, Hossasuaranedi Guindiedi Guindi reneeds in a mortggsile way
