2
00:00:03,560 –> 00:00:07,440
have gone on social media misrepresenting Isho Speed’s visit to
3
00:00:07,519 –> 00:00:10,359
Nigeria and using it to project a negative image of
4
00:00:10,439 –> 00:00:13,679
their very own country while attempting to spoil what was
5
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:17,679
a good narrative of a very successful visit. First of all,
6
00:00:18,079 –> 00:00:21,480
Isho Speed never said or implied that Nigeria is Smelli.
7
00:00:22,199 –> 00:00:25,800
The young man perhaps achieved his most successful stream during
8
00:00:25,839 –> 00:00:29,679
his African tour in Nigeria, reaching a milestone of fifty
9
00:00:29,719 –> 00:00:34,159
million YouTube subscribers whilst in our dearly beloved country. He
10
00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:37,560
is the first black streamer to achieve that milestone, and
11
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:42,079
it occurred in Nigeria, boosted by Nigerian subscribers appreciative of
12
00:00:42,079 –> 00:00:46,640
his visit. What these few unpatriotic Nigerians who have a
13
00:00:46,679 –> 00:00:50,320
grudge against their own country fed by a separatist agenda,
14
00:00:50,719 –> 00:00:53,399
have done is take a screenshot of a particular stream
15
00:00:53,479 –> 00:00:57,119
where mister Darren Jason Watkins Junior made of face for
16
00:00:57,159 –> 00:00:59,719
a few seconds, which he often does all over the
17
00:00:59,759 –> 00:01:04,560
world world. Upon citing something interesting and peculiar using that
18
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,239
snap shot, they painted a false narrative claiming that Legos
19
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:12,159
is Smellian, but Darren Jason Watkins Junior aka is Show
20
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,359
Speed did not enjoy his time there and found nothing
21
00:01:15,439 –> 00:01:19,920
interesting or cultural to do. Sadly, their claims have gone
22
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:23,719
wildly viral. In fact, as evidenced by his streams and
23
00:01:23,799 –> 00:01:27,840
media coverage, Isho Speed had perhaps the most eventful moments
24
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,120
of his speed As Africa tour in Nigeria, which is
25
00:01:31,120 –> 00:01:33,879
why he chose to spend his twenty first birthday in
26
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,519
our country. He drew his biggest crowds here and was
27
00:01:37,519 –> 00:01:40,959
so impressed by that that he testified about it. He
28
00:01:41,040 –> 00:01:45,959
had gastronomical and cultural experiences, including visiting Freedom Park and
29
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:51,480
eating the world famous Nigerian Joloff rice, which he raved about. Thereafter,
30
00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:55,079
he had a belated Debty December moment by interacting with
31
00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:58,760
street dances in a carnival like manner and had intermittent
32
00:01:58,840 –> 00:02:02,879
encounters and conversation with street performers, including a man whose
33
00:02:02,879 –> 00:02:06,439
physical strength he celebrated after attempting and failing to match
34
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:11,360
his iron bending skills. Isho Speed also enjoyed Nigerian cature
35
00:02:11,439 –> 00:02:14,599
when he got to wear the special Nigerian hat known
36
00:02:14,639 –> 00:02:17,759
as a Feeler, made in Nigeria, from entirely from maid
37
00:02:17,879 –> 00:02:22,479
in Nigeria fabric, something that I have been promoting worldwide.
38
00:02:22,919 –> 00:02:26,599
His decision to blend in culturally with Nigerians through fashion
39
00:02:26,680 –> 00:02:29,520
made him so excited that he asked street vendors and
40
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:34,560
onlookers whether he looked Nigerian. And on his twenty first birthday,
41
00:02:34,879 –> 00:02:38,919
Isho Speed was surrounded by school children in their school uniforms,
42
00:02:38,960 –> 00:02:42,439
singing the famous Happy Birthday song to him, almost bringing
43
00:02:42,520 –> 00:02:46,680
him to tears. At Freedom Park, Isho Speed interacted with
44
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:50,639
various Legos street performers who taught the quick learner several
45
00:02:50,719 –> 00:02:54,240
dance steps particularly suited to the Nigerian music genre of
46
00:02:54,280 –> 00:02:58,360
afrobeats that has taken the world by storm. Isho Speed
47
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,439
then visited the Nike Art gasp in Lek where the
48
00:03:01,479 –> 00:03:05,479
management fated him and gifted him a traditional Lukumi yoruber outfit,
49
00:03:05,800 –> 00:03:09,960
which left him in awe. Mister Watkins next met Afrobeat’s
50
00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:13,599
singers alat Adibile, who surprised him with a birthday cake,
51
00:03:13,960 –> 00:03:16,800
prompting Isho Speed to shockingly reveal that that was the
52
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:20,919
first birthday cake he had ever received. Hard to believe
53
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:24,000
his time in Nigeria has become one of the most
54
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,280
discussed pop culture moments of the year so far, and
55
00:03:27,360 –> 00:03:29,800
he was surpleased with Nigeria that one of the first
56
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:33,000
things he did when he visited neighboring Benin Republic was
57
00:03:33,039 –> 00:03:36,319
to seek out Nigerian’s there to continue catching the fund
58
00:03:36,319 –> 00:03:40,560
that mesmerized him in Nigeria. Finally, it is not true
59
00:03:40,599 –> 00:03:43,639
that the streamer left Nigeria in a hurry after spending
60
00:03:43,680 –> 00:03:47,159
only a day in our beautiful country. The truth is
61
00:03:47,199 –> 00:03:49,719
that he has only twenty eight days to visit twenty
62
00:03:49,759 –> 00:03:54,039
African countries, and other than South Africa, where he spent
63
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:58,240
three days, he spent approximately twenty four hours in each country.
64
00:03:58,919 –> 00:04:01,840
At the beginning of the ti when he had more time,
65
00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:04,840
he spent more days in countries, but as the tour
66
00:04:04,879 –> 00:04:08,120
wore on and he observed the logistical challenges of visiting
67
00:04:08,159 –> 00:04:12,159
the proposed twenty nations, pragmatism forced him to allocate his
68
00:04:12,280 –> 00:04:16,199
time more prudently. In no other country did mister Watkins
69
00:04:16,319 –> 00:04:19,560
enjoy such an action packed twenty four hours, which is
70
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:22,439
why he claimed he was a Nigerian, even saying he
71
00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:26,240
was likely igboked and named himself a Mecca. From the above,
72
00:04:26,519 –> 00:04:29,879
it is clear that the narrative crafted by some unpatriotic
73
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:33,560
Nigerians and blown out of proportion by fellow Africans who
74
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:37,120
do not understand Pan Africanism is nothing but a pathetic
75
00:04:37,240 –> 00:04:39,800
light told by people who have already failed in their
76
00:04:39,879 –> 00:04:43,800
unfortunate attempts at setting the United States against Nigeria and
77
00:04:43,879 –> 00:04:47,519
are desperate to reignite their negative agenda for Nigeria after
78
00:04:47,519 –> 00:04:51,519
seeing the Trump administration cooperating with our great country instead
79
00:04:51,519 –> 00:05:03,040
of invading it. Qui Abu bakh Malami, a former Minister
80
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:06,040
of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation who was
81
00:05:06,040 –> 00:05:10,040
in office from November twenty fifteen till May twenty twenty three,
82
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,800
when the then President Mohammadu Buhari completed his eight years
83
00:05:13,879 –> 00:05:18,600
tenure in office, under which courts of competent jurisdiction granted
84
00:05:18,680 –> 00:05:23,199
several detained Nigerian’s bail, but the Buhari government refused to
85
00:05:23,279 –> 00:05:26,120
release them and even re arrested some of them after
86
00:05:26,199 –> 00:05:30,160
they had perfected their bail conditions. The then Minister of Justice,
87
00:05:30,399 –> 00:05:33,639
Abu Bakhar Malami, who was saddled with the responsibility of
88
00:05:33,720 –> 00:05:37,920
protecting citizens’ rights, came out openly and apparently justified the
89
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:41,720
violations of court orders by the then Buhari led government
90
00:05:42,160 –> 00:05:46,480
and during the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari, Abu Bakhar
91
00:05:46,560 –> 00:05:50,519
Malami frequently defended the actions of the government’s refusal to
92
00:05:50,560 –> 00:05:54,680
obey court’s orders of bail granted to high profile individuals
93
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:59,800
by asserting that national security and public interests superseded individual rights.
94
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:04,160
Some of the high profile individuals included Colonel Sambo Dasuki,
95
00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:07,800
the former National Security adviser in the era of President
96
00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:10,680
good Luck A. Beleet Jonathan, who was held for four
97
00:06:10,759 –> 00:06:15,279
years from December twenty fifteen to December twenty nineteen. Despite
98
00:06:15,319 –> 00:06:18,920
being granted bail by at least four different Nigerian high
99
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:21,759
courts and the echo As Court, he was repeatedly re
100
00:06:21,879 –> 00:06:25,959
arrested by the Department of State Services the SS immediately
101
00:06:26,079 –> 00:06:30,319
after fulfilling bail conditions. Shaik Ibrahim el Zakaki and his
102
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,680
wife Zina detained from December twenty fifteen until they were
103
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:38,560
released in July twenty twenty one. Were refused bail after
104
00:06:38,639 –> 00:06:42,600
Federal Court declared the attention illegal in twenty sixteen and
105
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:46,600
ordered their release by January twenty seventeen, but the government
106
00:06:46,759 –> 00:06:50,199
under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister, did not
107
00:06:50,399 –> 00:06:54,040
comply until they were eventually acquitted of all charges by
108
00:06:54,079 –> 00:06:57,720
a Kaduna State High Court in twenty twenty one. Also,
109
00:06:58,079 –> 00:07:01,160
Armiele Saware, an act of vis and a journalist who
110
00:07:01,240 –> 00:07:04,399
is the founder of Sahara, a Reporter’s News Media, remained
111
00:07:04,439 –> 00:07:08,319
in DSS custody for several months in twenty nineteen, despite
112
00:07:08,360 –> 00:07:12,600
fulfilling bail conditions set by Justice Hijeyamurrijuku. He was re
113
00:07:12,759 –> 00:07:15,759
arrested within the court room just twenty four hours after
114
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:20,560
a temporary release. Nandi Karu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous
115
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,879
People of Biafra IPOB leader, was refused bail during his
116
00:07:24,959 –> 00:07:29,639
initial trial in twenty fifteen. President Buhari then publicly stated
117
00:07:29,759 –> 00:07:32,879
during a media chat that Karnu, among others, would not
118
00:07:32,920 –> 00:07:35,759
be allowed to go on bail due to the nature
119
00:07:35,879 –> 00:07:40,079
of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings. In addition was
120
00:07:40,199 –> 00:07:43,800
Navy Captain Dadar Labinjo, who was detained by the Nigeria
121
00:07:43,879 –> 00:07:48,120
military from September twenty eighteen until at least late twenty nineteen,
122
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:51,360
despite a Federal High Court order for his release, and
123
00:07:51,439 –> 00:07:57,120
during these periods Abubakhar Malami provided several justifications for these detentions,
124
00:07:57,560 –> 00:08:01,879
most notably during his twenty nineteen minutes Exterial Screening, Malamy
125
00:08:01,959 –> 00:08:04,639
stated that the office of the AGF is meant to
126
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:08,720
protect the public interest and where the individual interest conflicts
127
00:08:08,759 –> 00:08:11,480
with the public interest, the interest of one hundred and
128
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:15,959
eighty million Nigerians must naturally prevail. He cited the Supreme
129
00:08:16,040 –> 00:08:20,319
Court case of Asari Dokubo versus Federal Republic of Nigeria,
130
00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:25,240
arguing it established that national security could supersede personal liberty
131
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:28,519
in specific contexts, and when Dusuki and sir War were
132
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:32,799
finally released in December twenty nineteen, Malamy claimed the government
133
00:08:32,879 –> 00:08:37,480
did so on compassionate grants and in compliance with court orders,
134
00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:41,919
while denying that international pressure from the United States US
135
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:46,200
influenced the decision. Currently, but then apparent defender and justifier
136
00:08:46,279 –> 00:08:49,679
of government disobedient to court orders is now calling on
137
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,080
Nigerians and begging them to help him get justice since
138
00:08:53,159 –> 00:08:57,399
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e FCC kept him
139
00:08:57,440 –> 00:09:00,399
in custody against court order that he had said earlier
140
00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:04,320
granted him bail and after perfecting his bail conditions, he
141
00:09:04,480 –> 00:09:06,919
was re arrested by the DS and since he has
142
00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:12,879
remained in detention. According to Mohammad Belodoka, special assistant on
143
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:16,200
Media to Abu Bakhar Malamy, the Office of Abu Bakhar
144
00:09:16,279 –> 00:09:21,039
Malamy SAN expresses grave concern over a series of actions
145
00:09:21,080 –> 00:09:25,559
by state agencies, which, taken together, amount to a deliberate
146
00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:28,919
attempt to frustrate his constitutional right to fare, hearing and
147
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:33,759
effective legal defense. Following charges filed by the Economic and
148
00:09:33,879 –> 00:09:37,960
Financial Crimes Commission e f c C, the Federal High
149
00:09:37,960 –> 00:09:43,279
Court granted mister Malamy bail. However, the EFCC delayed the
150
00:09:43,279 –> 00:09:46,519
submission of his international passports to the court for about
151
00:09:46,559 –> 00:09:49,879
one week, despite the passport’s being a key condition for
152
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:54,399
the perfection of bail. This delay unnecessarily prolonged his detention
153
00:09:54,519 –> 00:09:58,799
and obstructed the execution of a valid court order. Immediately
154
00:09:58,879 –> 00:10:02,799
after mister Malamy eventually perfected his bail and was released
155
00:10:02,799 –> 00:10:06,080
from cou Jay Custodial Center, he was re arrested by
156
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:10,679
the Department of State Services DSS. He was thereafter detained
157
00:10:10,679 –> 00:10:13,799
for five days without access to his lawyers or family,
158
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:17,159
and was only allowed to meet his legal team on Friday,
159
00:10:17,240 –> 00:10:21,960
after prolonged isolation, delays, and brave violations of his fundamental
160
00:10:22,039 –> 00:10:26,120
human rights. This detention occurred at a critical time when
161
00:10:26,159 –> 00:10:30,039
mister Malamy was required to prepare and open his defense
162
00:10:30,120 –> 00:10:33,639
in an EFCC in from forfeiture proceeding before the Federal
163
00:10:33,720 –> 00:10:37,759
High Court. Denying him access to counsel during this period
164
00:10:37,879 –> 00:10:43,240
directly impaired his ability to consult, prepare filings, and give instructions,
165
00:10:43,279 –> 00:10:47,519
amounting to a clear frustration of due process. This sequence
166
00:10:47,559 –> 00:10:51,360
of events clearly suggests a pattern where arrest procedes investigation,
167
00:10:51,919 –> 00:10:55,080
with evidence sought after detention, an approach that is a
168
00:10:55,080 –> 00:10:59,200
blatant violation of the rule of law and constitutionally guaranteed rights.
169
00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:02,720
It is deeply troubling that the DSS appears to be
170
00:11:02,759 –> 00:11:07,279
adopting a similar practice of arrest, detention, and then evidence gathering.
171
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:11,039
The office stresses that bail granted by a court must
172
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:15,399
have meaning. No agency should be permitted to neutralize judicial
173
00:11:15,519 –> 00:11:19,960
orders through coordinated delays, re arrests, or denial of access
174
00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:24,559
to legal representation. Such actions undermine the authority of the
175
00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:28,120
court’s and pose a serious threat to fundamental human rights.
176
00:11:28,919 –> 00:11:32,679
Mister Malami remains ready to defend himself fully in court
177
00:11:32,679 –> 00:11:35,320
and in accordance with the law, and calls on all
178
00:11:35,399 –> 00:11:39,960
state institutions to respect court orders, constitutional guarantees and the
179
00:11:40,080 –> 00:11:44,080
rule of law. In earlier press releases issued by Mohammad
180
00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:48,919
Bello dooka Special Assistant on Media to Abubakhar Malami San.
181
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:53,399
In December twenty twenty five, the office of Abubakar Malami San,
182
00:11:53,919 –> 00:11:57,559
former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
183
00:11:57,879 –> 00:12:01,320
formally alert the Nigerian public and the US international community
184
00:12:01,360 –> 00:12:05,120
to the brazen, contemptuous and lawless conduct of the Economic
185
00:12:05,159 –> 00:12:08,799
and Financial Crimes Commission e f c C in its
186
00:12:08,879 –> 00:12:13,519
handling of matters concerning mister Malamy following the clear and
187
00:12:13,639 –> 00:12:16,519
unequivocal court order granted by the High Court of the
188
00:12:16,519 –> 00:12:21,000
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on the twenty third of December
189
00:12:21,039 –> 00:12:25,559
twenty twenty five, admitting Abubakar Malamy Sam to bail on
190
00:12:25,679 –> 00:12:29,000
already fulfilled conditions. Officials of the e f c C
191
00:12:29,240 –> 00:12:33,080
were formerly served with the court process. Rather than comply
192
00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:36,279
with the authority of the court, the Commission refused to
193
00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:39,559
accept the court back letter, chased away the bailiff and
194
00:12:39,679 –> 00:12:43,879
insisted on the continued detention of mister Malamy in blatant
195
00:12:43,960 –> 00:12:47,919
defiance of the law. This conduct represents nothing short of
196
00:12:47,960 –> 00:12:53,440
institutional lawlessness. The ef CC, an agency created by statute
197
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:57,039
and bound by the Constitution, has chosen to elevate itself
198
00:12:57,039 –> 00:13:00,240
above the courts, arrogating to its self powers. It does
199
00:13:00,279 –> 00:13:03,960
not possess in treating binding judicial orders with open disdain.
200
00:13:04,799 –> 00:13:08,279
More troubling is the fact that, despite revoking bail and
201
00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:14,960
detaining mister Malamy for over fourteen days, the EFCC has failed, refused,
202
00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:19,600
or neglected to arraign him before any court of competent jurisdiction.
203
00:13:20,039 –> 00:13:25,240
This prolonged detention without arraignment is illegal, unconstitutional, and oppressive,
204
00:13:25,559 –> 00:13:30,600
and amounts to a gross violation of mister Malamy’s fundamental rights.
205
00:13:30,799 –> 00:13:33,840
It is worthy of note that the EFCC is currently
206
00:13:33,879 –> 00:13:37,960
detaining abubac Ar Malamy Sam solely on the strength of
207
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:40,559
a High Court order that permitted his detention for a
208
00:13:40,559 –> 00:13:44,639
maximum period of fourteen days, an order which expires today.
209
00:13:45,440 –> 00:13:48,679
Even without regard to the separate bail granted by another
210
00:13:48,799 –> 00:13:53,399
high court of competent jurisdiction. The EFCC was legally obligated
211
00:13:53,440 –> 00:13:57,120
to either release him immediately or arraign him before a court. Today,
212
00:13:57,919 –> 00:14:01,120
it has done neither. This deliberate action is a further
213
00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:06,080
undamning confirmation of the EFCC’s vendetta, its platant disregard for
214
00:14:06,120 –> 00:14:09,240
the rule of law, and its dangerous descent into tyranny
215
00:14:09,279 –> 00:14:13,399
and abuse of power. Rather than submit itself to due process,
216
00:14:13,799 –> 00:14:17,639
the EFCC has instead embarked on an orchestrated media trial,
217
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:21,320
feeding selective narratives to the press in a deliberate attempt
218
00:14:21,399 –> 00:14:26,080
to poison public opinion, destroy reputations, and secure convictions in
219
00:14:26,120 –> 00:14:28,759
the court of public sentiment after failing to doce her
220
00:14:28,759 –> 00:14:31,919
in a court of law. This is a dangerous abuse
221
00:14:31,960 –> 00:14:36,039
of power and a direct assault on the principles of justice, fairness,
222
00:14:36,279 –> 00:14:39,799
and the rule of law. The Commission’s actions leave no
223
00:14:39,919 –> 00:14:43,000
doubt that it has abandoned its statutory mandate and allowed
224
00:14:43,039 –> 00:14:46,240
itself to be deployed as a tool of political persecution.
225
00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:50,720
When an anti corruption agency begins to disobey court orders,
226
00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:55,480
detain citizens indefinitely, and weaponize the media, it ceases to
227
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:57,879
be an instrument of justice and becomes a threat to
228
00:14:57,919 –> 00:15:02,080
democracy itself. Remind the e f c C that court
229
00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:06,240
orders are not suggestions their binding commands of the law.
230
00:15:06,679 –> 00:15:11,039
Selective obedience to judicial authority is the clearest pathway to anarchy,
231
00:15:11,399 –> 00:15:14,000
and Nigeria must not be allowed to descend into a
232
00:15:14,039 –> 00:15:17,519
state where security agencies choose which laws to obey and
233
00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:22,720
which to ignore. Abu Bakhar Malami San has repeatedly stated
234
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:25,879
his readiness to submit himself fully to due process and
235
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:29,279
to have any allegation determined strictly by a court of law.
236
00:15:30,039 –> 00:15:34,639
What he rejects rightly so is trial by detention, trial
237
00:15:34,679 –> 00:15:38,840
by media, and trial by political vendetta. The Office of
238
00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:43,519
Abu Bakar Malami San therefore calls on the judiciary to
239
00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:47,399
take urgent notice of this open contempt of court, relevant
240
00:15:47,440 –> 00:15:50,559
oversight bodies to hold the e f c C accountable
241
00:15:50,639 –> 00:15:54,120
for its serial violations of the law, and Nigerians of
242
00:15:54,159 –> 00:15:57,480
conscience to speak out against the dangerous precedent being set
243
00:15:57,519 –> 00:16:02,360
by the Commission’s actions. No agency, no matter how powerful,
244
00:16:02,759 –> 00:16:06,240
is above the law. The Office of Abu Bakar Malami
245
00:16:06,639 –> 00:16:11,120
San reiterates that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e
246
00:16:11,360 –> 00:16:14,919
f c C and its legal representatives have been properly
247
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:18,120
served with the order of the Honorable court. A day
248
00:16:18,159 –> 00:16:22,759
after the order was issued, the court bailiff, Mister Abiodin
249
00:16:22,840 –> 00:16:27,799
Kolawolee attempted service on the EFCC, which refused to receive
250
00:16:27,840 –> 00:16:31,919
the order. This refusal does not negate service nor diminish
251
00:16:31,960 –> 00:16:35,799
the authority of the court. Later that same evening, the
252
00:16:35,799 –> 00:16:40,960
office of ARCHITECPA San received the court order conclusively establishing
253
00:16:41,039 –> 00:16:45,240
notice and awareness on behalf of the e FCC. Meanwhile,
254
00:16:45,559 –> 00:16:49,600
emieleesa War has said he will never support extra judicial
255
00:16:49,639 –> 00:16:54,080
measures against anyone. I urged the Economic and Financial Crimes
256
00:16:54,120 –> 00:16:57,240
Commissioned to obey the court order granting bail to form
257
00:16:57,279 –> 00:17:02,840
a Nigerian Attorney General Abubakharm Malami San that said, we
258
00:17:02,919 –> 00:17:06,079
must also speak honestly about the despicable conduct of the
259
00:17:06,119 –> 00:17:09,960
Mohammadu Buhari and the Malami who governed with arrogance and impunity,
260
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:12,640
acting as though there would be no tomorrow and no
261
00:17:12,680 –> 00:17:17,279
accountability for their actions. In twenty nineteen, after four months
262
00:17:17,279 –> 00:17:21,559
of detention under the Mohammadu Buhari regime, I was granted bail,
263
00:17:21,920 –> 00:17:25,799
but Abu Bakar Malami San and the useless d SSDG.
264
00:17:25,960 –> 00:17:29,319
Yusuf Bicchi demanded that my sureties appear at the DSS
265
00:17:30,160 –> 00:17:33,759
offers for profiling, a request I refused to comply with.
266
00:17:41,440 –> 00:17:45,319
Nigeria Military Authority has confirmed the death of five soldiers
267
00:17:45,359 –> 00:17:48,680
and one police officer in an ambush launched by terrorists
268
00:17:48,720 –> 00:17:52,799
on Monday at Giddenwagni area of Zamfara State. The incident
269
00:17:52,880 –> 00:17:55,839
may be a reminder of incessant cases of high rates
270
00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:59,960
of Nigeria losing its soldiers and other security operatives in ambush,
271
00:18:00,640 –> 00:18:03,640
especially as observed as a worsening situation in the year
272
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,960
twenty twenty five, with the ambush of army barracks and
273
00:18:07,039 –> 00:18:09,839
killing of the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria
274
00:18:10,279 –> 00:18:13,519
AFN by terrorists in large number began as early as
275
00:18:13,599 –> 00:18:17,319
January twenty twenty five. It may be recalled that in
276
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:21,200
January twenty twenty five, terrorists launched an attack on the
277
00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:25,519
one hundred and forty nine Battalion in Malam Forturi, Borno State,
278
00:18:25,880 –> 00:18:29,319
leading to the killing of over twenty military personnel, including
279
00:18:29,359 –> 00:18:33,680
a battalion commander and senior offices. Within the first quarter,
280
00:18:34,079 –> 00:18:36,839
A careful review of news reports showed that more than
281
00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:40,400
one hundred Nigeria soldiers were reportedly killed in the first
282
00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:44,279
quarter of twenty twenty five by terrorists, mostly in ambush.
283
00:18:45,039 –> 00:18:49,000
In June twenty twenty five, terrorists attacks on three army
284
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,599
bases in central and northwestern Nigeria resulted in the killing
285
00:18:52,640 –> 00:18:57,200
of at least seventeen soldiers, and in September twenty twenty five,
286
00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:00,000
a major ambush on the barger made a Guri road
287
00:19:00,359 –> 00:19:03,359
was reported where at least forty soldiers were killed and
288
00:19:03,440 –> 00:19:07,680
sixty five went missing, while in October twenty twenty five,
289
00:19:08,119 –> 00:19:10,920
at least four soldiers were killed in the Boco Haram
290
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:15,039
ambush in Borno State, while another encounter in Camche resulted
291
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:18,319
in one soldier killed, and by November twenty twenty five,
292
00:19:18,799 –> 00:19:22,160
the Nigerian Army confirmed the death of Brigadier General Mussa
293
00:19:22,319 –> 00:19:25,319
Uber and two other soldiers following an ambush by IS
294
00:19:25,559 –> 00:19:30,160
swap terrorists near Wijeroco town in Borno State, which some
295
00:19:30,279 –> 00:19:34,319
local media reported that several soldiers were killed during the ambush.
296
00:19:34,640 –> 00:19:37,240
Even some of the local media stated that those who
297
00:19:37,359 –> 00:19:40,480
escaped the ambush, like the Brigadier general, were traced and
298
00:19:40,559 –> 00:19:43,920
killed by the terrorists, apparently after hours of no rescue
299
00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:48,880
or prompt reinforcement by the Nigeria Military Authority. According to
300
00:19:48,920 –> 00:19:54,079
Captain David Adassi, the Media Information Officer of Operation Fansan Yama,
301
00:19:54,519 –> 00:19:57,200
the five soldiers and the police officer were killed while
302
00:19:57,240 –> 00:20:00,799
the troops were returning from a successful operation and responding
303
00:20:00,839 –> 00:20:03,759
to a distress call of terrorists attack in a community
304
00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:08,839
in Zamfara State. In his words, Captain David Adalssi said,
305
00:20:09,279 –> 00:20:13,839
troops of Operation fans and Yama opf Y joined Tasks
306
00:20:13,960 –> 00:20:20,279
Forced Northwest have demonstrated exceptional bravery, professionalism and resilience following
307
00:20:20,279 –> 00:20:23,720
a terrorist ambush along the Bingi keken Wadje Gussa Road
308
00:20:23,799 –> 00:20:27,599
in Zamfara State on the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six.
309
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,680
The ambush followed a series of successful offensive operations conducted
310
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:36,319
from seventeen to the nineteenth of January twenty twenty six,
311
00:20:36,759 –> 00:20:40,400
when troops of Sector two opf Y, in conjunction with
312
00:20:40,440 –> 00:20:44,440
the opf Y Mobile Strike Team and DEA Tactical Support Team,
313
00:20:44,839 –> 00:20:49,640
carried out co ordinated raids, ambushes and fighting patrols across Burnon,
314
00:20:49,759 –> 00:20:54,559
Megaji and Anchor areas of Zamfara State. During these operations,
315
00:20:54,880 –> 00:21:00,839
three suspects IC Aquakutawa Ibrahem, Dan Mussulu and makhaw Lambergoma
316
00:21:01,200 –> 00:21:04,680
were arrested, while four terrorists were neutralized and others fled
317
00:21:04,720 –> 00:21:09,519
into the forest. Items recovered included one PKT machine gun,
318
00:21:09,880 –> 00:21:14,279
five a K forty seven rifles, three Act forty seven magazines,
319
00:21:14,640 –> 00:21:18,000
other items a rounds of seven point six two millimeters

en route to Keke and Wage. Despite the surprise of
325
00:21:37,960 –> 00:21:42,079
the ambush, the troops responded gallantly, engaging the terrorists and
326
00:21:42,160 –> 00:21:47,400
preventing further harm to nearby communities. Regrettably, five soldiers and
327
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:51,119
one police officer paid the supreme sacrifice during the encounter.
328
00:21:52,079 –> 00:21:55,839
Upon receipt of the distress report, the OPF Y Mobile

of fire that engulfed the twenty five story building of

Great Nigeria Insurance House Plaza at Balagoon Market in Lagos

00:23:51,960 –> 00:23:55,680
no emergency response from the government under the leadership of

00:23:55,759 –> 00:24:00,880

for days sent distressing pleas for help while trapped in
361
00:24:13,319 –> 00:24:17,039
the building, yet there were no emergency services to rescue them.
362
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:20,519
Several days passed in the rubble before their bodies were
363
00:24:20,559 –> 00:24:24,839
finally recovered, Several days of unanswered calls of a system
364
00:24:24,839 –> 00:24:27,279
that failed and at the moment they needed it most.
365
00:24:27,680 –> 00:24:31,519
Peter Obi made this statement after attending the burial ceremony
366
00:24:31,640 –> 00:24:35,519
of the three siblings held at Beuzoqua community in Ihiala
367
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:40,000
Local Government area of Anambra’s State on Wednesday, after Legos
368
00:24:40,039 –> 00:24:43,359
State Government, through the Office of the Commissioner for Information
369
00:24:43,480 –> 00:24:48,119
and Strategy, Glengoromatoso, in a statement issued on January first,
370
00:24:48,240 –> 00:24:51,400
twenty twenty six, stated that as soon as the fire
371
00:24:51,480 –> 00:24:55,000
alarm was received on the day, the government deployed teams
372
00:24:55,000 –> 00:24:58,359
of first responders to the scene, including the Legos State
373
00:24:58,480 –> 00:25:03,680
Fire and Rescue Service, Legos State Emergency Management Agency, Legos
374
00:25:03,680 –> 00:25:08,880
State Ambulance Services, security agencies and other emergency and safety units.
375
00:25:09,119 –> 00:25:12,599
But this statement from the Lagos State government appears not
376
00:25:12,680 –> 00:25:15,200
to be in line with an eye witness account. A
377
00:25:15,319 –> 00:25:18,559
resident who spoke with New Central Television at the scene
378
00:25:18,559 –> 00:25:21,279
of the fire incident that a phone call was made
379
00:25:21,279 –> 00:25:24,440
across to a fire service in Lagos State, but the
380
00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:28,759
fire service demanded thirty millionniers service fee before the fire
381
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:33,000
service would respond to the emergency issue this The resident
382
00:25:33,039 –> 00:25:35,880
added that if the fire service had responded on time,
383
00:25:36,240 –> 00:25:39,160
the entire building would have been saved, probably with no
384
00:25:39,319 –> 00:25:42,160
life lost, because the fire was only at a single
385
00:25:42,279 –> 00:25:46,880
floor when the fire service was called. According to Punch newspaper,
386
00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:50,880
the three siblings died after being trapped inside the burning
387
00:25:50,960 –> 00:25:54,440
high rise building in Lagos, an incident that shocked residents
388
00:25:54,480 –> 00:25:58,440
and reignited concerns over fire safety and emergency response in
389
00:25:58,519 –> 00:26:02,799
the country. According to family sources, the intensity of the
390
00:26:02,839 –> 00:26:07,079
inferno made rescue efforts impossible, and only ashes were recovered
391
00:26:07,079 –> 00:26:11,599
for burial. The burial brought grief and sorrow to Ihiala community,
392
00:26:12,000 –> 00:26:15,119
with residents praying that their souls find rest and that
393
00:26:15,160 –> 00:26:18,559
their family find strength to pass through this trying time.
394
00:26:19,400 –> 00:26:22,839
After the burial, emotions ran high as the young wives
395
00:26:22,839 –> 00:26:28,319
of the deceased, family members, friends, schoolmates, and sympathizers gathered
396
00:26:28,319 –> 00:26:32,559
to bid a painful farewell. Some attendees, dressed in black
397
00:26:32,599 –> 00:26:36,759
and carrying posters of the three siblings, wept openly, struggling
398
00:26:36,799 –> 00:26:39,200
to come to terms with the tragedy that sent shock
399
00:26:39,279 –> 00:26:43,720
waves across the community. Punch Online had reported on January
400
00:26:43,799 –> 00:26:46,440
seventh that the fire started on the fourth floor and
401
00:26:46,519 –> 00:26:49,599
spread to the sixth before engulfing the remaining floors and
402
00:26:49,680 –> 00:26:54,480
adjoining structures. A detached section of the plaza, estimated at
403
00:26:54,519 –> 00:26:58,680
about seven floors high, collapsed during the inferno, trapping some
404
00:26:58,759 –> 00:27:03,000
traders and market asseststones One of the families worst affected
405
00:27:03,119 –> 00:27:07,400
was the Omertu family, which lost three brothers, Steve forty,
406
00:27:07,640 –> 00:27:12,640
Kasmir thirty nine and Collins thirty seven. The siblings were
407
00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:15,119
trapped in the building and are believed to have died
408
00:27:15,160 –> 00:27:20,240
in the fire. A surviving twin, Camillus Homertu, reportedly escaped
409
00:27:20,279 –> 00:27:23,559
the blaze. Peter Obe, in a statement published through his
410
00:27:23,720 –> 00:27:28,880
verified social media accounts, said, yesterday I attended a deeply
411
00:27:28,920 –> 00:27:34,200
emotional and heartbreaking burial of three siblings, Stephen On Yeko Omertu,
412
00:27:34,559 –> 00:27:38,759
Casmir Nabuk Omertu and Collins Kennechukru omer Tu, the three
413
00:27:38,839 –> 00:27:41,480
young brothers whose lives were cruelly cut short in the
414
00:27:41,519 –> 00:27:46,359
Great Nigeria Insurance Building fire in Lagos, Nigeria. It is
415
00:27:46,400 –> 00:27:50,519
almost impossible to describe the depth of this tragedy. For days,
416
00:27:50,799 –> 00:27:54,079
these young men sent distressing police for help while trapped
417
00:27:54,079 –> 00:27:57,000
in the building, yet there were no emergency services to
418
00:27:57,079 –> 00:28:00,960
rescue them. Several days passed in the rubble before their
419
00:28:01,000 –> 00:28:05,680
bodies were finally recovered. Several days of unanswered calls of
420
00:28:05,759 –> 00:28:08,200
a system that failed them at the moment they needed
421
00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:11,480
it most. This is not just a personal loss for
422
00:28:11,519 –> 00:28:15,559
their family. It is a national loss. This tragedy should
423
00:28:15,599 –> 00:28:18,720
serve as a reminder that our emergency services must be
424
00:28:18,759 –> 00:28:23,319
improved and accessible to every citizen. We cannot continue like this.
425
00:28:23,920 –> 00:28:27,119
Every life matters, and no Nigerian should ever have to
426
00:28:27,240 –> 00:28:29,839
endure such neglect or be left to perish in such
427
00:28:29,839 –> 00:28:33,519
a gruesome way while help could have been provided. I
428
00:28:33,599 –> 00:28:37,240
pray that the souls of Steve Casmir and Colins find
429
00:28:37,279 –> 00:28:40,640
eternal rest and that God grants their family the courage,
430
00:28:40,799 –> 00:28:45,000
strength and comfort to bear this unimaginable grief. May we
431
00:28:45,079 –> 00:28:47,839
never forget them, and may we be moved to ensure
432
00:28:47,880 –> 00:28:52,000
such a tragedy never happens again. The Lagos State Government,
433
00:28:52,319 –> 00:28:56,920
according to Punch newspaper publication on January TEWOD twenty twenty six,
434
00:28:57,359 –> 00:28:59,960

00:29:18,880 –> 00:29:21,960
twenty twenty six, that the government had taken note of
440
00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:27,160
some speculations and assertions concerning the incident. Omatoso conveyed the
441
00:29:27,160 –> 00:29:30,160
government’s sympathy to those who lost their loved ones in
442
00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:34,519
the incident, saying we feel their pain and understand their anxiety.
443
00:29:35,319 –> 00:29:38,240
He reiterated that as soon as the fire alarm was
444
00:29:38,279 –> 00:29:41,559
received on the day, the government deployed teams of first
445
00:29:41,599 –> 00:29:45,000
responders to the scene, including the Lagos State Fire and
446
00:29:45,079 –> 00:29:51,000
Rescue Service, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Lagos State Ambulance Services,
447
00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:56,759
security Agencies, and other emergency and safety units. Omatoso said
448
00:29:56,799 –> 00:30:00,920
the teams had also remained on site conducting cin stomatic search,
449
00:30:01,359 –> 00:30:05,920
rescue and safety operations in line with internationally accepted emergency
450
00:30:05,960 –> 00:30:09,920
response protocols. They will remain there and continue to work
451
00:30:10,039 –> 00:30:14,000
until the completion of recovery operations, supported by thorough and
452
00:30:14,039 –> 00:30:18,319
forensic assessments, he said. Giving an update on the incident,
453
00:30:18,680 –> 00:30:22,319
Omitoso said, as of this morning, the total number of
454
00:30:22,400 –> 00:30:26,240
victims is eight males, including a fireman rescued with varying
455
00:30:26,279 –> 00:30:30,000
degrees of injury and taken to the hospital. Three males
456
00:30:30,039 –> 00:30:33,799
and two females who sustained minor injuries were administered first
457
00:30:33,839 –> 00:30:37,839

458
00:30:37,920 –> 00:30:41,319
was extricated dead from the rubble, two adult males were

460
00:30:45,680 –> 00:30:50,279
the public, affected families and all stakeholders to exercise patients
461
00:30:50,559 –> 00:30:54,880
restraint and sensitivity and to refrain from spreading speculation that
462
00:30:54,920 –> 00:30:59,279
could heighten public anxiety or under mine ongoing operations. In
463
00:30:59,319 –> 00:31:02,960
addition to the numbers of death, the National Emergency Management
464

gutted by fire on the twenty fourth of December twenty
472
00:31:37,720 –> 00:31:43,079
twenty five. The multi agency rescue and recovery operation remains
473
00:31:43,160 –> 00:31:46,559
complex due to the precarious structural condition of the twenty
474
00:31:46,640 –> 00:31:51,799

the Lagos State Government, with NIMA providing technical and operational support. Meanwhile,
499
00:33:42,799 –> 00:33:45,839
a Catholic priest, father A. James, in a tweet on
500
00:33:46,160 –> 00:33:50,160
x social media platform on January sixth, twenty twenty six,
501
00:33:50,319 –> 00:33:53,599
talked about the Omertu family and stated in quotes that
502
00:33:54,079 –> 00:33:57,279
there were seven orphans in one family, two girls and
503
00:33:57,400 –> 00:34:01,759
five boys. One of them is a priest, father William Omatu.
504
00:34:02,240 –> 00:34:04,920
Three of their brothers were trapped in the Great Nigeria
505
00:34:05,000 –> 00:34:08,000
House Market fire on Lagos Island and died there on
506
00:34:08,079 –> 00:34:11,800
Christmas Eve, the twenty fourth of December twenty twenty five.
507
00:34:12,679 –> 00:34:15,920
They did not die because it was inevitable. They died
508
00:34:15,960 –> 00:34:20,519
because in Nigeria life has become cheap. Because those meant
509
00:34:20,519 –> 00:34:23,960
to protect lives and property. Did not because no one
510
00:34:24,039 –> 00:34:29,239
came in time, because somehow nobody cared enough. How does
511
00:34:29,280 –> 00:34:32,280
a family bury three promising sons on the same day.
512
00:34:33,119 –> 00:34:36,760
How do you explain such pain? This is not just sad,
513
00:34:37,159 –> 00:34:41,039
It is devastating. It breaks the heart. What hurts even
514
00:34:41,079 –> 00:34:43,760
more is knowing that their brother, a priest and my
515
00:34:43,960 –> 00:34:47,519
friend here in Scotland. The remaining siblings will live the
516
00:34:47,559 –> 00:34:50,639
rest of their life and ministry carrying this memory, the
517
00:34:50,719 –> 00:34:54,280
knowledge of how their brothers died and how helpless everyone was.
518
00:34:55,039 –> 00:34:58,760
May Nigeria not happen to any of us. In Jesus’s name,
519
00:34:59,519 –> 00:35:02,519
I pray that the Lord grants this family the fortitude
520
00:35:02,519 –> 00:35:06,039
to carry a grief this heavy. May the souls of Stephen,
521
00:35:06,440 –> 00:35:11,079
Casmir and Collins rest in peace. Amen. On January ninth,
522
00:35:11,159 –> 00:35:15,119
twenty twenty six, Father A. James also treated and said,
523
00:35:15,519 –> 00:35:18,239
I just came off a call with Father William Ometu,
524
00:35:18,559 –> 00:35:21,239
the brother of the three siblings that lost their lives
525
00:35:21,280 –> 00:35:24,039
in the Legos market fire, and he told me they
526
00:35:24,039 –> 00:35:27,199
could not recover the bodies of his brothers. They were
527
00:35:27,280 –> 00:35:30,760
left only with ashes. In fact, he showed me the
528
00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:34,159
ashes he had just collected from the site. This is
529
00:35:34,239 –> 00:35:37,440
painful and heart breaking. He told me that about one
530
00:35:37,519 –> 00:35:41,440
hundred people died in that building. What a tragedy. I
531
00:35:41,480 –> 00:35:44,000
cannot imagine what it feels like for him and his
532
00:35:44,079 –> 00:35:47,199
remaining siblings at this time, but I pray that God
533
00:35:47,239 –> 00:35:50,960
will see him through. Amen, please keep them in your
534
00:35:51,000 –> 00:35:53,320
prayers as they travel for the burial.
535
00:35:53,559 –> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 2: We live and witnessed and my friend now also deosdauser
536
00:35:56,840 –> 00:35:59,920
sending business in this plaza, so very close to displeasing.
537
00:36:00,400 –> 00:36:03,800
But what I observe when the fires started around to
538
00:36:04,079 –> 00:36:08,840
around for something, is that they call some private fire
539
00:36:08,960 –> 00:36:12,920
service in the first places the accorden and as.
540
00:36:12,719 –> 00:36:16,199
Speaker 3: The conden they did that the demand for thirty million
541
00:36:16,280 –> 00:36:20,519
ere and the thing starts just only one floor and
542
00:36:20,599 –> 00:36:23,360
the only one floor is not it’s not it’s not
543
00:36:23,400 –> 00:36:24,119
even everywhere.
544
00:36:24,519 –> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: That’s only particular, like just particular.
545
00:36:27,000 –> 00:36:31,519
Speaker 4: Little little places in the in the first building, first floor.
546
00:36:32,159 –> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 5: That’s it.
547
00:36:33,000 –> 00:36:35,159
Speaker 3: Then try to to stop the fire. It don’t get
548
00:36:35,199 –> 00:36:39,039
to this estant, and then there’s a way even their.
549
00:36:38,920 –> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: Path, their path as the oppositive wedding fire did the
550
00:36:43,039 –> 00:36:46,920
only opposite of the building, the path day the disabling
551
00:36:47,519 –> 00:36:50,039
what is stopping them to work to to stop the
552
00:36:50,039 –> 00:36:52,000
fire then before it gets.
553
00:36:51,719 –> 00:36:55,199
Speaker 3: To this to this extent, so that’s my blame. Their
554
00:36:55,440 –> 00:36:56,320
private version is.
555
00:36:56,280 –> 00:36:58,639
Speaker 4: Supposed to be supposed to be to be to be
556
00:36:58,719 –> 00:37:04,920
banned because that’s so.
557
00:37:10,360 –> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: Inspector General of Police IGP, car Yode Eggbetoken, for days
558
00:37:15,320 –> 00:37:18,760
now has refused to speak or deliberately kept mum after
559
00:37:18,800 –> 00:37:23,079
a well known founder of a private organization, Harrison Guamashu,
560
00:37:23,119 –> 00:37:27,039
who have been assisting Nigeria’s security operatives with credible and
561
00:37:27,159 –> 00:37:30,480
reliable intelligence information that have led to the killing and
562
00:37:30,639 –> 00:37:34,639
arrest of several kidnappers. In a video statement on Saturday,
563
00:37:34,719 –> 00:37:38,639
revealed the complicit of the Nigeria Police Force in aiding
564
00:37:38,679 –> 00:37:42,000
and trying to cover up a reasonable suspect behind the
565
00:37:42,119 –> 00:37:45,159
kidnapping of a couple in the late days of November
566
00:37:45,199 –> 00:37:49,119
twenty twenty five at Avili community in the Exico West
567
00:37:49,159 –> 00:37:53,039
Local Government area of Edo State, and the reasonable suspect
568
00:37:53,159 –> 00:37:55,400
happened to be the younger brother of the man who
569
00:37:55,480 –> 00:37:59,760
was kidnapped alongside his wife, which the kidnappers only set
570
00:37:59,760 –> 00:38:02,840
for you the wife after a sting operational ransom money
571
00:38:02,840 –> 00:38:05,960
of twenty million nyers was given to the kidnappers with
572
00:38:06,039 –> 00:38:09,639
the Reasonable Suspect fully aware of all arrangements of the
573
00:38:09,679 –> 00:38:13,880
top secret security plans of Harrison Guamershue, but decided to
574
00:38:13,920 –> 00:38:17,880
make the sensitive security information public even when his elder
575
00:38:17,920 –> 00:38:22,239
brother is still held captive by the kidnappers. The Reasonable Suspect,
576
00:38:22,239 –> 00:38:25,280
in a TikTok video life streaming, admitted that he was
577
00:38:25,320 –> 00:38:28,840
actually among the people arrested by soldiers over an issue
578
00:38:28,920 –> 00:38:33,199
he the Reasonable Suspect refused to state. The Reasonable Suspect,
579
00:38:33,239 –> 00:38:36,519
among others, were handed over to the Nigeria Police Force
580
00:38:36,639 –> 00:38:41,719
for the continuation of investigation and possible prosecution, but according
581
00:38:41,760 –> 00:38:45,480
to Harrison Guamashue, immediately police noticed he was able to
582
00:38:45,519 –> 00:38:49,079
recognize the Reasonable Suspect as a family member who was
583
00:38:49,119 –> 00:38:52,000
aware of his security plans and he was also the
584
00:38:52,039 –> 00:38:54,559
one that helped deliver the money to the kidnappers in
585
00:38:54,599 –> 00:38:58,079
the bush. An order within the police authority came and
586
00:38:58,119 –> 00:39:01,840
the Reasonable Suspect was set free immediately, while others arrested
587
00:39:01,840 –> 00:39:05,960
alongside the Reasonable Suspect were remanded to prison. That aside,
588
00:39:06,239 –> 00:39:10,960
Harrison Guamashue, in an exclusive interview with TVC television station
589
00:39:11,239 –> 00:39:15,199
made available to the public by the broadcast media on Sunday,
590
00:39:15,280 –> 00:39:19,079
night indicated that the Nigeria Police Force had all the
591
00:39:19,119 –> 00:39:23,440
opportunities and chances to rescue the remaining kidnapped victims, but
592
00:39:23,960 –> 00:39:27,199
the police deliberately refused to go into the bush, with
593
00:39:27,280 –> 00:39:30,320
the police saying that the kind of intelligence information he
594
00:39:30,400 –> 00:39:34,360
had provided is an archaic style of intelligence gathering. This,
595
00:39:34,760 –> 00:39:38,119
according to Harrison Guamashue, forced him to show the police
596
00:39:38,199 –> 00:39:42,079
video evidences of how his style of intelligence has aided
597
00:39:42,159 –> 00:39:47,599
successful offensive operation against kidnappers, but all his explanations went
598
00:39:47,679 –> 00:39:51,679
on darias even when for days the tracking devices he
599
00:39:51,719 –> 00:39:54,360
added to the special money he mixed with the original
600
00:39:54,400 –> 00:39:57,559
money given to the kidnappers as ransom was still showing
601
00:39:57,559 –> 00:40:01,079
the exact location of the kidnappers and others useful information
602
00:40:01,199 –> 00:40:04,079
that could have enabled the police mobilize and rescue the
603
00:40:04,159 –> 00:40:09,840
remaining kidnapped victims. According to the reasonable Suspect, Harrison Guamishue
604
00:40:09,960 –> 00:40:13,800
was actually contacted to help capture the kidnappers. This statement
605
00:40:13,880 –> 00:40:16,559
probably indicated that he ought not to be surprised that
606
00:40:16,639 –> 00:40:20,360
some original money was removed from the bag by Harrison Guamishu,
607
00:40:20,440 –> 00:40:24,119
except he can explain better how he expected Harrison Guamashue
608
00:40:24,119 –> 00:40:29,039
to capture the kidnappers without acting intelligently. Harrison Guamashu had
609
00:40:29,079 –> 00:40:31,760
said that the reasonable suspect came with the money with
610
00:40:31,840 –> 00:40:33,679
a lot of young people who were with him in
611
00:40:33,760 –> 00:40:38,280
the hotel. According to Harrison Guamashue, he visited the hotel
612
00:40:38,360 –> 00:40:41,599
the reasonable suspect was and observed the presence of a
613
00:40:41,599 –> 00:40:44,440
lot of young individuals before he asked him to bring
614
00:40:44,480 –> 00:40:48,199
the money to his hotel room, adding that after the
615
00:40:48,239 –> 00:40:52,000
reasonable suspect brought the money to his hotel room, he left,
616
00:40:52,400 –> 00:40:55,599
leaving him Harrison Guamashaue and the brother of the woman
617
00:40:55,639 –> 00:40:58,400
who was kidnapped with her husband in the hotel room.
618
00:40:59,199 –> 00:41:02,480
Harrison guam said the wife’s brother, who he said to
619
00:41:02,519 –> 00:41:05,159
be a medical doctor, was inside the room while he
620
00:41:05,239 –> 00:41:08,800
was scattering the money and replacing some with the tracking devices.
621
00:41:09,559 –> 00:41:12,960
The reasonable suspect failed to state why he left Harrison
622
00:41:12,960 –> 00:41:16,119
Guamashu inside the hotel room while he was working on
623
00:41:16,159 –> 00:41:20,039
the money. The reasonable suspect failed to state the issue
624
00:41:20,079 –> 00:41:22,360
he felt was more important than the life of his
625
00:41:22,440 –> 00:41:25,280
elder brother and his wife that should make him leave
626
00:41:25,320 –> 00:41:29,239
Harrison Guamashu and others alone in the hotel room. The
627
00:41:29,320 –> 00:41:33,440
reasonable suspect also admitted that the kidnappers never counted the money,
628
00:41:34,199 –> 00:41:37,239
that immediately he opened the bag in the presence of
629
00:41:37,280 –> 00:41:40,280
the kidnappers saw the way and manner the nyron notes
630
00:41:40,320 –> 00:41:43,960
were scattered. He concluded that Harrison Gwamnashu had removed some
631
00:41:44,119 –> 00:41:47,920
money from the bag, adding that immediately he left the
632
00:41:47,960 –> 00:41:51,639
presence of the kidnappers, he started calling people to inform
633
00:41:51,679 –> 00:41:55,440
them that Harrison Gwamnashu had removed some money. And when
634
00:41:55,440 –> 00:41:59,800
the Divisional Police Officer DPO asked Harrison Gwamnashu if action
635
00:42:00,199 –> 00:42:03,519
he removed some money from the back, Harrison said yes,
636
00:42:03,840 –> 00:42:06,719
stating clearly that that is how he does his work.
637
00:42:07,480 –> 00:42:11,199
The reasonable suspect never stated why such an information became
638
00:42:11,239 –> 00:42:14,159
an issue on social media even when his brother was
639
00:42:14,199 –> 00:42:19,199
instill with the kidnappers. The Reasonable Suspects said the kidnappers
640
00:42:19,199 –> 00:42:22,400
are now demanding the exact five point four million nirous
641
00:42:22,480 –> 00:42:25,559
balance of the twenty million niras and an additional sixty
642
00:42:25,599 –> 00:42:29,079
million niras ransom before they would release his elder brother.
643
00:42:29,880 –> 00:42:34,800
Harrison Guamershu, while speaking on Saturday, said the reasonable Suspect
644
00:42:34,880 –> 00:42:38,679
was arrested alongside others with guns in Auchi by soldiers
645
00:42:38,679 –> 00:42:41,559
and they were subsequently handed over to the Police Area
646
00:42:41,639 –> 00:42:45,199
Command in Auchi and the police command thereafter transferred the
647
00:42:45,239 –> 00:42:48,719
suspects to the State Police Command in Benin City, where
648
00:42:49,000 –> 00:42:52,719
the reasonable suspect was set free without proper explanation from
649
00:42:52,719 –> 00:42:56,559
the police authority. Many who have spoken about the arrest
650
00:42:56,599 –> 00:43:00,119
of the reasonable suspect by the soldiers indicated that a
651
00:43:00,159 –> 00:43:04,079
reasonable suspect and others arrested alongside him were captured by
652
00:43:04,079 –> 00:43:07,960
the soldiers in a secret cult related crime, and recent
653
00:43:08,039 –> 00:43:11,559
crackdowns in late twenty twenty five and early twenty twenty
654
00:43:11,639 –> 00:43:14,599
six in Edo State based on police reports, have led
655
00:43:14,639 –> 00:43:17,440
to the arrest of over one hundred and twelve suspects,
656
00:43:17,840 –> 00:43:20,880
many of whom confess to being both kidnappers and secret
657
00:43:20,880 –> 00:43:25,320
cult members. If true, the reasonable suspect was arrested by
658
00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,239
soldiers in secret cult related activities, on what ground was

661
00:43:35,280 –> 00:43:38,239

00:51:34,639 –> 00:51:37,039
Speaker 9: But to come to that exactly we saw that. We
823
00:51:37,119 –> 00:51:38,760
went ahead to say that the man is still in
824
00:51:38,840 –> 00:51:41,360
a very critical condition and the family is not selling
825
00:51:41,400 –> 00:51:46,480
the man’s property. Is that true, Harrison, would you come from.
826
00:51:46,360 –> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 8: The family is critical? I wouldn’t know if the man
827
00:51:49,840 –> 00:51:50,840
is in a critical condition.
828
00:51:51,159 –> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 9: I mean the property. The selling of the man’s property
829
00:51:53,280 –> 00:51:55,159
that the family roosters that they need to know sell
830
00:51:55,199 –> 00:51:55,639
the property.
831
00:51:57,519 –> 00:51:58,039
Speaker 7: That’s true.
832
00:51:58,480 –> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 8: Someone a friend we start to them, a friend of
833
00:52:01,000 –> 00:52:05,119
marriage to them and said he can. We sorry the
834
00:52:05,239 –> 00:52:07,400
woman the most. The wife of the man reached out
835
00:52:08,079 –> 00:52:10,360
to a friend, somebody who close, who is close to me.
836
00:52:10,760 –> 00:52:13,760
I said, they kidnappers start they had the money for
837
00:52:13,880 –> 00:52:17,280
so so so and you people are sisters. And the
838
00:52:17,360 –> 00:52:20,199
man was angry and said, because the man already advised
839
00:52:20,199 –> 00:52:24,039
them before now and the police that he keeping harting
840
00:52:24,079 –> 00:52:28,719
the cell is not going to resolve this matter. The
841
00:52:28,800 –> 00:52:31,119
hay take and applical guys can getting the guy out
842
00:52:31,440 –> 00:52:35,559
because I was an atation what what went to the bush?
843
00:52:36,000 –> 00:52:38,960
Was he showing the exact location where they where this
844
00:52:39,079 –> 00:52:41,079
guy man? The police refused to act on it.
845
00:52:41,320 –> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 9: So okay, the police didn’t want to act on it,
846
00:52:42,960 –> 00:52:44,239
but they knew where the location was.
847
00:52:44,400 –> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 8: They refused to Yes, what would be the I don’t know,
848
00:52:50,159 –> 00:52:54,639
but the police was was just glammoring on prosecuting me
849
00:52:55,440 –> 00:52:57,840
or you know, for god knows, I don’t know. I
850
00:52:57,880 –> 00:53:00,480
don’t know even I’m yet when I start why the
851
00:53:00,559 –> 00:53:03,199
rest so? But I believe because of my years of
852
00:53:03,239 –> 00:53:08,320
advocacy instruction, maybe that was why. All right, So the
853
00:53:08,440 –> 00:53:10,639
man restarted them and I said, no, man retarted them.
854
00:53:10,679 –> 00:53:12,840

Speaker 9: But Harrison, I also know that the twenty million was
868
00:53:57,039 –> 00:53:59,360

00:54:06,639 –> 00:54:08,559
Speaker 8: It went to the kidnap It went to the kidnappers.
874
00:54:08,639 –> 00:54:10,599
Speaker 9: Did you give it to them directly? Did you give
875
00:54:10,599 –> 00:54:11,400
it to them directly?
876
00:54:12,519 –> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 8: No, I don’t pay kid, I don’t pay it at
877
00:54:14,880 –> 00:54:18,760
the kidnappers. The family went in and gave the money to.
878
00:54:18,719 –> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 7: The kid nabers.
879
00:54:19,360 –> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 9: So the family met with the kidnappers.
880
00:54:22,480 –> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 8: Yes, the kidnappers, they is given and take they don’t
881
00:54:27,039 –> 00:54:29,920
drop it somewhere and move. No, you’ll bring the money
882
00:54:30,039 –> 00:54:32,159
and give them in their legs. While they are there
883
00:54:32,239 –> 00:54:34,599
with you, you will confirm the money and then you
884
00:54:34,760 –> 00:54:38,679
move the religious person and give to you. But but
885
00:54:38,920 –> 00:54:41,880
on this one, your money was not counted. So know
886
00:54:42,079 –> 00:54:45,960
if it’s millions or both twenty million, this is the
887
00:54:46,079 –> 00:54:55,519
point you want, Yeah, what’s this is the this is
888
00:54:55,599 –> 00:54:58,039
the point. The money was not counted to know if
889
00:54:58,039 –> 00:55:00,400
it’s that both went a million or listen to but
890
00:55:00,559 –> 00:55:03,840
what went into that forest was twenty millionaire? Was twenty
891
00:55:03,880 –> 00:55:06,559
millionaire went into that forest? Yeah, that was what went
892
00:55:06,639 –> 00:55:07,320
into that forest.
893
00:55:08,119 –> 00:55:09,679
Speaker 9: But you know right right about now.
894
00:55:10,079 –> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 8: But but but but there are there are things, there
895
00:55:12,920 –> 00:55:16,159
are things involved which I had not seen now exactly
896
00:55:16,559 –> 00:55:19,199
I can think. Yeah, so but what went into that
897
00:55:19,320 –> 00:55:22,519
forest was twenty millionaire. I went to that forest. And again, please,
898
00:55:23,400 –> 00:55:25,159
that man was not kill laughing low and the wife
899
00:55:25,159 –> 00:55:28,920
and family were kid laugh a man and wife was kidnapped.
900
00:55:29,079 –> 00:55:31,079
The man also is corrected that with the man, the
901
00:55:31,159 –> 00:55:34,599
man family brought twenty million lere to the same kidnappers.
902
00:55:35,119 –> 00:55:37,880
The kidnappers took that money and they not also released
903
00:55:37,880 –> 00:55:40,039
that man. Through It’s not just money that forest.
904
00:55:40,119 –> 00:55:42,119
Speaker 9: Now, so now it’s not just the man in the forest.
905
00:55:42,159 –> 00:55:43,880
Actually there’s another man in the forest as well.
906
00:55:44,519 –> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 8: No, there’s not manly for est. The man was kidnapped
907
00:55:47,199 –> 00:55:50,400
with the wife and then a little tie. The kidnapers
908
00:55:50,440 –> 00:55:52,320
noted that the child was prying. They really the wife
909
00:55:52,360 –> 00:55:54,800
and the type of brow. Yeah, they heard a man.
910
00:55:55,039 –> 00:55:57,239
That man. The family also came to pay money twenty
911
00:55:57,320 –> 00:55:59,440
million lere. They took the money, that same thing, that
912
00:55:59,559 –> 00:55:59,960
same life.
913
00:56:00,400 –> 00:56:02,039
Speaker 9: But how are you saying with this whole thing, I’m
914
00:56:02,159 –> 00:56:05,119
worried that you know, these families. You’re saying that these
915
00:56:05,159 –> 00:56:07,840
families go and they see these kidnappers one on one.
916
00:56:08,079 –> 00:56:09,920
You know, I’m worried that if they know where they are,
917
00:56:10,000 –> 00:56:12,559
they see them. You know, that’s very scary. Anything would
918
00:56:12,559 –> 00:56:13,679
have happened to these families.
919
00:56:14,960 –> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: M hm.
920
00:56:16,159 –> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 9: Why didn’t the police take charge at any point of
921
00:56:18,920 –> 00:56:19,280
all of this.
922
00:56:21,559 –> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 8: They have opportunity to have striked them. They have big opportunity.
923
00:56:25,000 –> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 9: So the police had the opportunity to strike them.
924
00:56:28,000 –> 00:56:31,199
Speaker 8: They had the opportunity. They said that my method was
925
00:56:31,239 –> 00:56:34,159
that bitter that was going That was what gave I said, no,
926
00:56:34,559 –> 00:56:38,199
I have them because of the recover was made. Yeah,
927
00:56:38,480 –> 00:56:43,559
the g those pictures of of this kid napers ability
928
00:56:43,559 –> 00:56:45,760

930
00:56:52,760 –> 00:56:55,719
the tracks of these kid nappers using our device that
931
00:56:55,840 –> 00:56:59,800
has been working for us. So sometimes difficult to tell
932
00:56:59,800 –> 00:57:03,239
you I’m not part of yours. Don’t want to. They
933
00:57:03,280 –> 00:57:05,840
don’t want to, you know, show the love in what
934
00:57:07,159 –> 00:57:13,400
David I am. I’m part of your Krishon, I’m barely performed.
935
00:57:13,519 –> 00:57:16,239
Speaker 9: I’m young, nu kim out and apologizing.
936
00:57:21,519 –> 00:57:26,119
Speaker 1: Harrison Guamashu, the founder of a registered private organization assisting
937
00:57:26,199 –> 00:57:30,679
the Nigeria security operatives with credible and reliable intelligence information
938
00:57:30,840 –> 00:57:32,960
that have led to the killing and arrest of several
939
00:57:33,079 –> 00:57:36,800
kidnappers in the West Africa country, especially in the South
940
00:57:36,880 –> 00:57:40,480
South geopolitical zone of Edo and Delta States, in a
941
00:57:40,559 –> 00:57:44,559
video statement issued via his verified social media account a
942
00:57:44,639 –> 00:57:47,599
few hours ago, has said that the family member and
943
00:57:47,679 –> 00:57:50,360
the brother of the kidnapped couple who worked with him
944
00:57:50,400 –> 00:57:53,800
and his team to deliver the prepared sting operational twenty
945
00:57:53,920 –> 00:57:57,960
million nyrus ransom to the kidnappers, has been arrested alongside
946
00:57:58,079 –> 00:58:02,360
his gang members with guns. But according to Harrison Guamershoe
947
00:58:02,599 –> 00:58:06,199
immediately the Nigeria Police Force noticed that he could vividly
948
00:58:06,280 –> 00:58:09,239
recognize the suspect as a brother to the kidnapped couple.
949
00:58:09,719 –> 00:58:13,159
The Nigeria Police Force quickly released the suspect and charged
950
00:58:13,239 –> 00:58:16,639
other members of his gang arrested in Aucheta Court, even
951
00:58:16,719 –> 00:58:19,719
when the kidnapping involving the suspects brother and wife is
952
00:58:19,800 –> 00:58:23,039
generating more reactions after the wife was set free by
953
00:58:23,079 –> 00:58:26,119
the kidnappers while the husband, who is the suspect’s brother,
954
00:58:26,280 –> 00:58:29,440
is still held in captivity till date by the kidnappers
955
00:58:29,519 –> 00:58:32,440
since both were kidnapped in their home at Avili Village
956
00:58:32,519 –> 00:58:35,599
in the Exco West Local Government area of Edo State
957
00:58:35,719 –> 00:58:39,719
in late days of November twenty twenty five. According to
958
00:58:39,840 –> 00:58:43,239
Harrison Guamershue, before the ransom money was delivered to the
959
00:58:43,360 –> 00:58:46,800
kidnappers inside the bush, the kidnappers made a phone call
960
00:58:46,880 –> 00:58:49,679
to the arrested and quickly set free suspect to give
961
00:58:49,800 –> 00:58:52,599
him the exact location to drop the money. He was
962
00:58:52,679 –> 00:58:55,840
surprised to hear one of the kidnapped victims, the husband
963
00:58:55,960 –> 00:58:58,840
still with the kidnappers, begging his brother, who is currently
964
00:58:58,960 –> 00:59:01,960
seen as the suspect behind the kidnapping to forgive him
965
00:59:02,000 –> 00:59:05,159
if he has done anything wrong to him. The pleading
966
00:59:05,239 –> 00:59:08,039
shocked him, but Harrison said he decided to act as
967
00:59:08,079 –> 00:59:11,880
if he never heard anything. Harrison Guamashu added that the
968
00:59:11,960 –> 00:59:15,119
suspect he was the family member that raised the alarm
969
00:59:15,199 –> 00:59:18,480
that the ransom money wasn’t complete, that that was the
970
00:59:18,559 –> 00:59:21,440
reason the kidnappers only released the wife and refused to
971
00:59:21,519 –> 00:59:26,119
set free the husband. Stating clearly that everyone who participated
972
00:59:26,199 –> 00:59:28,599
in taking the money to the kidnappers affirmed that the
973
00:59:28,719 –> 00:59:32,639
kidnappers never counted the money. That even if the kidnappers
974
00:59:32,719 –> 00:59:35,800
had counted the money, he prepared the money specially by
975
00:59:35,880 –> 00:59:39,119
only scattering the tracking devices on the Dummi Nira notes
976
00:59:39,159 –> 00:59:41,760
that looked like original Nyra notes in a manner that
977
00:59:41,920 –> 00:59:45,679
made the whole money complete. The family member who delivered
978
00:59:45,719 –> 00:59:48,320
the ransom to the kidnappers and some of his gangs
979
00:59:48,360 –> 00:59:52,320
were arrested with guns in Auchi by soldiers. The soldiers
980
00:59:52,400 –> 00:59:56,880
handed them over to Auchieria Command Auchi AIA command transferred
981
00:59:56,920 –> 01:00:00,960
and to Anti Cultism Unit scid Benin and along the side,
982
01:00:01,280 –> 01:00:04,440
an order came that the boys should be released. Other
983
01:00:04,519 –> 01:00:07,280
people with him were charged to court and sent to prison.
984
01:00:08,119 –> 01:00:11,119
Same boy was with a Sinouci and knows our plans.
985
01:00:11,599 –> 01:00:14,639
I told the police my story, my statement is with
986
01:00:14,760 –> 01:00:20,800
the police. They did nothing. Continuing, Harrison Buamlishue stated verbatim, Thus,
987
01:00:21,280 –> 01:00:25,599
good afternoon. My name is Harrison Buamlishue. While I was
988
01:00:25,679 –> 01:00:29,559
in custody in State sid Benin at the CP’s office.
989
01:00:29,880 –> 01:00:32,719
CP was in that meeting. The Chief of Staff to
990
01:00:32,800 –> 01:00:35,800
the Governor was in that meeting. The CSO to the governor,
991
01:00:36,119 –> 01:00:38,960
chief Security Officer to the Governor was in that meeting.
992
01:00:39,239 –> 01:00:42,400
The Commissioner for Security and Public Safety was in that meeting.
993
01:00:42,760 –> 01:00:45,760
The head of investigative team was in that meeting. The
994
01:00:45,840 –> 01:00:48,480
family members were in that meeting. The wife of the
995
01:00:48,559 –> 01:00:51,320
man kidnapped was in that meeting, his brother was in
996
01:00:51,440 –> 01:00:54,800
that meeting, and other parties were there. My lawyer was
997
01:00:54,840 –> 01:00:56,880
in that meeting, and then a friend of mine who
998
01:00:56,960 –> 01:01:00,239
lives in Benin was also in that meeting. And the
999
01:01:00,320 –> 01:01:03,599
family pleaded. They said that nobody should ever post about
1000
01:01:03,639 –> 01:01:07,719
this matter on social media until the matter is resolved.
1001
01:01:08,199 –> 01:01:11,679
I accepted. When I left the police custody, I did
1002
01:01:11,760 –> 01:01:14,960
not say anything about it. They have been the ones
1003
01:01:15,079 –> 01:01:19,000
now going around telling people things that never existed and
1004
01:01:19,199 –> 01:01:22,280
they are now posting on social media. People are now
1005
01:01:22,440 –> 01:01:27,079
changing posting narratives and the rest of it now. Number one,
1006
01:01:27,559 –> 01:01:30,480
this guy you see on the screen, this guy, this
1007
01:01:30,679 –> 01:01:32,880
is the family member that went to drop the money
1008
01:01:32,920 –> 01:01:36,639
to the kidnappers. He was aware of the arrangement. The
1009
01:01:36,840 –> 01:01:40,360
arrangement was that. Now look at when I was in
1010
01:01:40,440 –> 01:01:43,880
a saba. They said, the kidnappers demanded for fifty million
1011
01:01:44,000 –> 01:01:47,280
for both of them, the husband and wife, and they
1012
01:01:47,320 –> 01:01:51,320
were able to raise twenty million nira. Now the kidnappers
1013
01:01:51,400 –> 01:01:53,880
now told them that with twenty million naira they will
1014
01:01:53,960 –> 01:01:57,159
release only the woman. That was what they told me
1015
01:01:57,320 –> 01:02:00,320
while I was in a saba. Later they said the
1016
01:02:00,440 –> 01:02:03,679
kidnappers accepted to collect twenty million nirah for the both
1017
01:02:03,719 –> 01:02:07,519
of them. They pleaded that the wife is pregnant, although
1018
01:02:07,639 –> 01:02:10,440
the kidnappers were telling them that that money would be
1019
01:02:10,519 –> 01:02:14,400
for only the wife. Later they said the kidnappers accepted
1020
01:02:14,440 –> 01:02:17,880
to collect twenty million nirah. Why I was invited was
1021
01:02:17,960 –> 01:02:21,480
not to go and give the kidnappers money. No, it
1022
01:02:21,679 –> 01:02:23,760
was for me to fix something in the bag of
1023
01:02:23,880 –> 01:02:26,960
money they are taking to the kidnappers. This is not
1024
01:02:27,159 –> 01:02:30,239
what I am supposed to say on the social media space.
1025
01:02:31,119 –> 01:02:34,199
But now it is time for me to say the
1026
01:02:34,280 –> 01:02:37,920
way it is so that anywhere it is going, people
1027
01:02:37,960 –> 01:02:40,920
will know the true fact of the story, so that
1028
01:02:41,039 –> 01:02:44,320
they will stop believing one sided story. And when I
1029
01:02:44,440 –> 01:02:47,719
got into Auchi, this same guy you see here, they
1030
01:02:47,760 –> 01:02:50,880
brought the money to my hotel. I first of all
1031
01:02:51,000 –> 01:02:54,920
went to their hotel. They were crowded. Young boys were there.
1032
01:02:55,280 –> 01:02:58,480
They now came to my hotel. While in my hotel
1033
01:02:58,639 –> 01:03:02,159
room they left somebody, a doctor who is a brother
1034
01:03:02,239 –> 01:03:05,239
to the woman. He was sitting there in my room.
1035
01:03:05,719 –> 01:03:08,920
I did my job perfectly. The bag was sealed up
1036
01:03:09,000 –> 01:03:12,400
for them to take it to the kidnappers in the forest. Now,
1037
01:03:12,920 –> 01:03:16,719
before they moved to the forest, the kidnappers called and
1038
01:03:16,880 –> 01:03:19,559
he answered the phone, which was the last pick up
1039
01:03:19,880 –> 01:03:22,960
for them to give direction where they’re coming. The man
1040
01:03:23,079 –> 01:03:25,440
in the bush, the man with the still held in
1041
01:03:25,519 –> 01:03:29,239
the bush, was begging this guy. The doctor was there.
1042
01:03:29,599 –> 01:03:32,960
The doctor, the brother to the woman, was sitting down there.
1043
01:03:33,800 –> 01:03:36,719
My driver was there, and other people were sitting down there.
1044
01:03:37,159 –> 01:03:39,559
The man in the bush was begging the brother. This
1045
01:03:39,800 –> 01:03:44,199
one begging this guy. He said, please, if I have
1046
01:03:44,360 –> 01:03:48,400
wronged you before, forgive me if I have done something
1047
01:03:48,480 –> 01:03:51,719
to you before. Forgive me, and he began to beg
1048
01:03:52,039 –> 01:03:55,639
him A beg. Now me and my wife are here.
1049
01:03:56,159 –> 01:03:59,679
You know, my wife a beg if I have done
1050
01:03:59,719 –> 01:04:04,760
young before. I begged, forgive me. I begged, I begged.
1051
01:04:05,039 –> 01:04:08,480
He was begging this guy. Then the phone hanged up.
1052
01:04:08,920 –> 01:04:11,880
I asked him. I asked him, why was your brother
1053
01:04:12,000 –> 01:04:17,400
begging you? He said, I get previous transaction. I said, hey,
1054
01:04:17,840 –> 01:04:21,360
it’s okay, no problem. I just do as if. It
1055
01:04:21,480 –> 01:04:25,519
didn’t even go in my head. Nothing happened. I just
1056
01:04:25,719 –> 01:04:28,800
left it. So they carried the money to the bush,
1057
01:04:29,280 –> 01:04:31,960
and when they got to the bush, they said, the
1058
01:04:32,079 –> 01:04:34,519
kidnappers did not count the money to know whether it
1059
01:04:34,639 –> 01:04:38,079
is above twenty million mirah or below twenty million mirah.
1060
01:04:38,840 –> 01:04:41,559
If they have counted that money, that money will be
1061
01:04:41,639 –> 01:04:44,719
twenty million mirah because what we did, what we did
1062
01:04:44,920 –> 01:04:47,840
was what we are supposed to do. They only saw
1063
01:04:47,920 –> 01:04:50,599
that the money was counted, but they did not count
1064
01:04:50,639 –> 01:04:54,000
the money. It was this same guy, thank god, he
1065
01:04:54,159 –> 01:04:57,880
was there with my driver who confirmed everything. It was
1066
01:04:58,000 –> 01:05:00,480
this same guy that came out and raised alarm that
1067
01:05:00,599 –> 01:05:02,480
it was what I did that made them to hold
1068
01:05:02,519 –> 01:05:08,519
the guy. Now, listen, kidnappers. These kidnappers, we’ve monitored them
1069
01:05:08,599 –> 01:05:12,360
for months, both in Delta and in Edo States. Now
1070
01:05:12,800 –> 01:05:16,679
they don’t count money one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand.
1071
01:05:17,039 –> 01:05:21,199
They count in bundles. So what we did was they
1072
01:05:21,239 –> 01:05:24,800
wouldn’t have even noticed anything at all. They wouldn’t have
1073
01:05:25,039 –> 01:05:28,840
noticed anything at all. We did our job perfectly well
1074
01:05:28,920 –> 01:05:32,400
and they took the money. There the money was not counted.
1075
01:05:32,920 –> 01:05:36,239
Now listen, now, it was not only this man they
1076
01:05:36,280 –> 01:05:40,039
went to release and the wife. Another family they kidnapped.
1077
01:05:40,400 –> 01:05:44,760
This family, they kidnapped. This one they kidnapped. They kidnapped
1078
01:05:44,800 –> 01:05:48,480
this man, the wife and the husband. But along the
1079
01:05:48,559 –> 01:05:51,280
line they released the woman and the child because the
1080
01:05:51,400 –> 01:05:55,440
child was crying. The same family, this other family went
1081
01:05:55,559 –> 01:05:59,280
also to pay ransom again to kidnappers too and when
1082
01:05:59,320 –> 01:06:02,599
they got there, the same kidnappers. When they got there,
1083
01:06:03,039 –> 01:06:06,440
the kidnappers collected twenty million naira and they didn’t release
1084
01:06:06,519 –> 01:06:10,199
the man. So both this one and this one were
1085
01:06:10,239 –> 01:06:12,719
taken back to the bush and the woman was released.
1086
01:06:13,559 –> 01:06:17,400
That was what transpired. So while I was in custody
1087
01:06:17,440 –> 01:06:21,880
in Benin, I saw young people. They raided, They arrested
1088
01:06:21,960 –> 01:06:26,199
young guys brought them to the cell. What happened. They said,
1089
01:06:26,239 –> 01:06:29,639
this boy here, this same person that paid ransom, they
1090
01:06:29,760 –> 01:06:34,239
arrested him. He was arrested in Auchi, arrested them with guns,
1091
01:06:34,679 –> 01:06:38,920
not only him, many of them. And suddenly they released
1092
01:06:38,960 –> 01:06:42,320
this guy, this same guy that went to pay this ransom,
1093
01:06:42,800 –> 01:06:45,119
that the order came from the police that they should
1094
01:06:45,159 –> 01:06:48,519
let him go. They released him and I was in
1095
01:06:48,599 –> 01:06:51,719
the cell with them. In fact, when they brought him
1096
01:06:51,760 –> 01:06:54,760
to my cell, they quickly changed these people from my
1097
01:06:54,960 –> 01:06:59,119
cell to another cell immediately because maybe they knew that
1098
01:06:59,199 –> 01:07:03,320
those guys they have they know me. They changed them
1099
01:07:03,360 –> 01:07:07,119
from my cell to another cell. I was surprised. Now,
1100
01:07:07,599 –> 01:07:10,280
if you watch this video, you see what this boy
1101
01:07:10,440 –> 01:07:14,760
is saying. Here he said, look at him celebrating when
1102
01:07:14,800 –> 01:07:19,760
he was released. You like your freedom? Freedom is priceless. Yes,
1103
01:07:20,199 –> 01:07:23,599
if you like me, I give you no. But if
1104
01:07:23,639 –> 01:07:26,719
you like me, I give you at times for who
1105
01:07:27,079 –> 01:07:30,440
at times I kill you. They did not charge this
1106
01:07:30,679 –> 01:07:33,480
boy and other ones to court. This was the same
1107
01:07:33,599 –> 01:07:36,400
guy who took the money to go and give the kidnappers.
1108
01:07:37,280 –> 01:07:39,679
The same guy the brother in the bush was begging.
1109
01:07:40,119 –> 01:07:43,840
That money was twenty million mirah twenty million mirah was
1110
01:07:43,920 –> 01:07:48,719
in that bag. Twenty million mira, twenty million mira. If
1111
01:07:48,800 –> 01:07:52,280
the kidnappers counted that money at that first stage, it
1112
01:07:52,360 –> 01:07:56,480
would count twenty million mirah. But the social media issues
1113
01:07:56,880 –> 01:07:59,840
they now increase. Now they announced that the family should
1114
01:07:59,840 –> 01:08:04,119
bring in some amount of money. So my brothers, I
1115
01:08:04,239 –> 01:08:07,440
did my best. I did my best. I didn’t do
1116
01:08:07,599 –> 01:08:11,239
anything wrong in that matter. I did everything possible. But
1117
01:08:11,400 –> 01:08:14,440
there are things I would still say, how the money,
1118
01:08:14,800 –> 01:08:18,439
everything that happened, I would say it because if I
1119
01:08:18,560 –> 01:08:22,000
say it, I think that ends my work too. I
1120
01:08:22,119 –> 01:08:25,319
won’t be doing anything for anybody again. But I have
1121
01:08:25,520 –> 01:08:28,479
to clear my name. I have to clear my name.
1122
01:08:29,119 –> 01:08:31,840
So those of you who destroy my name on the
1123
01:08:31,920 –> 01:08:36,600
social media space, there is no problem this narrative they’re
1124
01:08:36,680 –> 01:08:40,079
selling to you, go ahead with it, go ahead with it.
1125
01:08:40,439 –> 01:08:43,800
To day ed Nut, I was bashing him. Yes, I
1126
01:08:43,920 –> 01:08:47,920
messaged him. I said, why do you stop posting that?
1127
01:08:48,159 –> 01:08:51,159
V d M said he has something against me and
1128
01:08:51,359 –> 01:08:54,560
you stopped posting. He could not bring it up. Why
1129
01:08:54,680 –> 01:08:58,680
do you stop posting? Post what? Just post it? Ask
1130
01:08:58,840 –> 01:09:01,800
him questions, where is the evidence you say you have
1131
01:09:01,920 –> 01:09:05,880
for Nigerians? You were giving us twenty four hours to confess.
1132
01:09:06,439 –> 01:09:08,119
Where is the evidence? Good?
1133
01:09:08,159 –> 01:09:08,359
Speaker 5: After?
1134
01:09:08,439 –> 01:09:12,279
Speaker 8: My names are racing shoe while I was in constantly
1135
01:09:12,359 –> 01:09:16,600
state Saggy at the CIP’s office. All right, Sippy, wasn’t
1136
01:09:16,640 –> 01:09:19,239
a meeting. The Chief of Staff to the governor was
1137
01:09:19,239 –> 01:09:22,279
in that meeting, the CSO to the governor, chief Security
1138
01:09:22,319 –> 01:09:24,800
Officer to the governor was that team? The Commissioner for
1139
01:09:24,920 –> 01:09:26,399
Security and Public Safety?
1140
01:09:26,520 –> 01:09:27,199
Speaker 7: Wasn’t that meeting?
1141
01:09:27,760 –> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 8: The head of investigative team that CSB or sage wasn’t
1142
01:09:32,439 –> 01:09:36,159
a meeting. The family members were in that meeting. The
1143
01:09:36,239 –> 01:09:39,279
wife of the man kidnapped, wasn’t that meeting? If his
1144
01:09:39,399 –> 01:09:42,399
brother wasn’t that meeting? And other parties were there. My
1145
01:09:42,520 –> 01:09:46,880
lawyer vore, wasn’t that meeting? And then your friend, a
1146
01:09:46,960 –> 01:09:51,479
friend of mine whose who lives in Benin, was also
1147
01:09:51,560 –> 01:09:55,159
in that meeting and the family pleaded. They said that
1148
01:09:55,840 –> 01:10:00,359
nobody should ever post about this matter on social media.
1149
01:10:00,680 –> 01:10:05,720
I don’t see the matter is self, I said when
1150
01:10:05,760 –> 01:10:08,239
I left the police cars study, I don’t seen anything
1151
01:10:08,319 –> 01:10:12,720
about it. They have been the one now going around
1152
01:10:13,880 –> 01:10:18,680
telling people things that never existed, and then I posting
1153
01:10:19,039 –> 01:10:22,399
show media. People are now changing to stay narratives and
1154
01:10:22,560 –> 01:10:26,359
the rest of them now number one, this guy you
1155
01:10:26,439 –> 01:10:29,039
see you on the screen. This guy, this is DETERMINA member.
1156
01:10:29,079 –> 01:10:31,439
I went to drop the money to the kidnappers. He
1157
01:10:31,640 –> 01:10:33,000
was aware of the arrangement.
1158
01:10:34,000 –> 01:10:37,079
Speaker 5: The arrangement was that. Now look at when I was niceurber,
1159
01:10:37,560 –> 01:10:38,000
they said.
1160
01:10:37,880 –> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 8: The kidnappers demanded for fifteen million from both of them,
1161
01:10:40,800 –> 01:10:46,800
the husband and wife, and they were they were able
1162
01:10:46,840 –> 01:10:49,600
to waste twenty million there and the kidnappers and told
1163
01:10:49,640 –> 01:10:53,880
them that with twenty millionaire they were released only the woman.
1164
01:10:53,960 –> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 5: That was what they told me while I was naturber.
1165
01:10:58,199 –> 01:11:03,079
Speaker 8: Later they said kidnappers are sept to collect her twenty
1166
01:11:03,119 –> 01:11:04,960
millionaire for the booth of them that they pleaded that
1167
01:11:05,039 –> 01:11:07,279
the wife is pregnant or the nappers were telling her
1168
01:11:07,319 –> 01:11:09,319
that that that money would be for only the wives.
1169
01:11:10,680 –> 01:11:12,439
Later they said the kidappers are self there to collect
1170
01:11:12,680 –> 01:11:15,760
twenty millionaire. While I was invited was not to go
1171
01:11:15,880 –> 01:11:18,840
and get the kidnappers. Mon No, it was for me
1172
01:11:18,960 –> 01:11:22,399
to fixing something in the bag of money that came
1173
01:11:22,439 –> 01:11:24,279
to the kidnappers. This is not what I’m supposed to
1174
01:11:24,279 –> 01:11:27,319
say on the sushi media space. But then it’s time
1175
01:11:27,399 –> 01:11:31,000
for me to let kids say the way christs, so
1176
01:11:31,079 –> 01:11:33,199
that anywhere is going people who know the truth out
1177
01:11:33,239 –> 01:11:35,960
of the story, so that they will stop leaving one
1178
01:11:36,000 –> 01:11:39,079
side their story. And when I got into a wuchi,
1179
01:11:39,920 –> 01:11:42,960
this same guy you see here they brought they went
1180
01:11:42,960 –> 01:11:44,520
into my hotel. I first off I went to the
1181
01:11:44,600 –> 01:11:47,439
hotel they were how the young boys were there. Then
1182
01:11:47,479 –> 01:11:48,479
I came to my hotel.
1183
01:11:49,159 –> 01:11:52,199
Speaker 5: While in my hotel room they left somebody, a doctor
1184
01:11:52,439 –> 01:11:53,800
who is a brother to the woman.
1185
01:11:53,880 –> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 8: He was sitting there in my room. I did my
1186
01:11:55,920 –> 01:11:58,840
job confectly. The child was see up for them to
1187
01:11:58,880 –> 01:12:03,279
take it to the kidnappers. Think the forest now Before
1188
01:12:03,760 –> 01:12:06,640
they moved to the forest, they kidnapers called and he
1189
01:12:06,680 –> 01:12:08,840
answered your phone, which was the last peaker for them
1190
01:12:08,880 –> 01:12:11,680
to give direction on radio are common. The man in
1191
01:12:11,760 –> 01:12:14,640
the bush, the master heading the bush, was begging this
1192
01:12:14,800 –> 01:12:18,560
guy if the doctor before the doctor was there. The
1193
01:12:18,640 –> 01:12:20,880
doctor he brought that to this to the woman was
1194
01:12:20,920 –> 01:12:23,399
sitting down there. My dather was there, and other people
1195
01:12:23,479 –> 01:12:24,239
were sitting down there.
1196
01:12:24,920 –> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 5: The money. The bush was begging the brother and this
1197
01:12:27,079 –> 01:12:28,039
one was begging this guy.
1198
01:12:28,439 –> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 8: He said, please, if I have drunk you before, forgive

01:12:31,880 –> 01:12:35,119

1204
01:12:43,880 –> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 8: I beg. He was begging this guy. Then the phone
1205
01:12:48,800 –> 01:12:51,479
hanged up and asked him. I asked him, what was
1206
01:12:51,520 –> 01:12:55,399
the good at begging you? He said, and gets previous transactions?
1207
01:12:55,439 –> 01:12:58,720
I say, I said, I just did even go my.
1208
01:12:58,760 –> 01:13:02,079
Speaker 5: Head with nothing. I just did you. So they carry
1209
01:13:02,119 –> 01:13:05,159
the money to the push and they went.
1210
01:13:05,199 –> 01:13:08,520
Speaker 8: When they got to the push, they said, the kidnappers
1211
01:13:08,600 –> 01:13:11,640
did not count the money to know that it is
1212
01:13:11,720 –> 01:13:15,760
about twenty million ere or below twenty million ere. If
1213
01:13:15,800 –> 01:13:18,399
you have counted that money, that money will be twenty
1214
01:13:18,439 –> 01:13:22,239
millionaire because what we did, what we did was what
1215
01:13:22,880 –> 01:13:23,720
we were supposed to do.
1216
01:13:24,279 –> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 5: Now they don’t.
1217
01:13:26,159 –> 01:13:28,399
Speaker 8: They only saw that the money was cutted, but they
1218
01:13:28,399 –> 01:13:30,520
did not carry the money. It was the same guy,
1219
01:13:31,520 –> 01:13:34,560
thank god, he was there with my driver to confirm everything.
1220
01:13:35,119 –> 01:13:37,000
It was the same guy that came out and raised
1221
01:13:37,000 –> 01:13:40,079
a lamp that it was what I did that made
1222
01:13:40,119 –> 01:13:46,399
them to help the guy. Now, listen, kidnappers, This kid

01:13:46,520 –> 01:13:50,640
nappers with monitor them from moons both in the daughter
1224

and in those states. Now they don’t count money one
1225
01:13:55,359 –> 01:13:59,399
hundred thousand to they cut him brundus. So what we
1226
01:13:59,560 –> 01:14:04,560
did was they wouldn’t have even noticed anything at all.
1227
01:14:05,920 –> 01:14:08,039
They didn’t have noticed editing. But we did our talk
1228
01:14:08,079 –> 01:14:13,960
perfectly well and the money day was not counted. Now listen, now,
1229
01:14:14,039 –> 01:14:15,760

01:14:26,319 –> 01:14:28,159
they released him. The woman and the type call the

01:14:28,239 –> 01:14:31,119

1236
01:14:33,760 –> 01:14:35,279
and when they got they the same kidnappers.
1237
01:14:35,479 –> 01:14:38,359
Speaker 5: When they got there, the kilappers and they don’t release
1238
01:14:38,399 –> 01:14:38,680
the man.
1239
01:14:39,359 –> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 8: So were this this one and this one with ty
1240
01:14:42,479 –> 01:14:46,720
came back to the bush and the woman was That
1241
01:14:46,880 –> 01:14:50,479

1242
01:14:50,640 –> 01:14:55,880
the name, I saw young people. They readied the arrested
1243
01:14:56,079 –> 01:14:58,720
young guys put them to the set. They said this
1244
01:14:58,880 –> 01:15:02,000
for here the same person I paid rans then arrested him,
1245
01:15:03,159 –> 01:15:06,520

1246
01:15:07,239 –> 01:15:12,000
many of them. And suddenly they released this guy, the
1247
01:15:12,119 –> 01:15:15,399
same guy that went to pay this ransom that the
1248
01:15:15,479 –> 01:15:16,359
other came from.
1249
01:15:16,239 –> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 5: The police that they should let him go. They released him,
1250
01:15:20,079 –> 01:15:21,439
and I was said with them.
1251
01:15:21,439 –> 01:15:26,359
Speaker 8: In fact, when they brought them to myself, they quickly
1252
01:15:26,560 –> 01:15:31,800
changed this these people from myself prouder self immediately because
1253
01:15:31,960 –> 01:15:34,319
they knew that those guys they have, you know me,
1254
01:15:34,800 –> 01:15:38,279
they changed them for myself to their self. I was surprised.
1255
01:15:39,880 –> 01:15:41,399
Now if what just you don’t see what this boy
1256
01:15:41,439 –> 01:15:44,159
is saying. Yet he said, look at him celebrity.

1259
01:15:58,520 –> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 8: They did not charge this boy. My mother wants to
1260
01:16:00,680 –> 01:16:04,239
cough this for the same guy who took the money
1261
01:16:04,279 –> 01:16:06,119
to go and give the kidnappers, the same guy I

01:16:06,159 –> 01:16:12,199
brought your bush was taking that money was twenty million
1263
01:16:12,279 –> 01:16:16,279
heire twenty millionaire. I was, I suppose I can die
1264
01:16:16,319 –> 01:16:21,159
in that park twenty millionaire, twenty millionaire. If the ki
1265
01:16:21,199 –> 01:16:24,680
knappers counted that money at that first page, you can’t
1266
01:16:24,720 –> 01:16:31,159
twenty millionaire for the social media issues, then I increase.
1267
01:16:31,239 –> 01:16:33,600
Now the answer the family ship bringing to saman does
1268
01:16:34,000 –> 01:16:38,039
so my brothers. I did my best, I did my best.

01:16:44,159 –> 01:16:47,720
But there are house to say, how are the money?
1271
01:16:48,600 –> 01:16:52,359
Everything that happens? I will say it because I said.

These purposes are part of the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework.
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
