1
00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: And that governor’s protests all going in Nigeria took a

2
00:00:03,160 –> 00:00:06,559
new twist on Monday after President Balatinu had on Sunday

3
00:00:06,559 –> 00:00:09,880
addressed the protesters in the nationwide broadcast that appeared to

4
00:00:09,919 –> 00:00:13,839
have infuriated the larger numbers of the protesters. Some of

5
00:00:13,880 –> 00:00:16,559
the protesters, mostly the ones in the northern part of

6
00:00:16,559 –> 00:00:19,280
the country, would be same hoisting Russia and flags and

7
00:00:19,320 –> 00:00:22,399
calling on President Vladimir Putin of Russia to come to

8
00:00:22,480 –> 00:00:26,000
their head. The Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff issued a

9
00:00:26,039 –> 00:00:29,719
statement shortly after a meeting with President Balatinu on Monday

10
00:00:29,760 –> 00:00:32,799
and said the President won against flying foreign flags in

11
00:00:32,920 –> 00:00:36,079
Nigeria and then those who have hoisted foreign flags in

12
00:00:36,159 –> 00:00:40,759
Nigeria have committed treason. Shortly after issuing the statement, some

13
00:00:40,920 –> 00:00:44,280
persons claimed the President himself used Russia flag during the

14
00:00:44,359 –> 00:00:49,399
nationwide broadcast, describing the second flag beside President Balatinubu doing.

15
00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: The broadcast as Russia flag.

16
00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Former presidential spokesperson Reno or Mockery, in a statement on

17
00:00:55,679 –> 00:00:59,600
Tuesday said the second flag beside the President was Nigeria

18
00:00:59,679 –> 00:01:03,560
and for flag and it was never Russia flag. Nigeria

19
00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:06,599
Police Forced few hours ago issued a stern warning against

20
00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:10,959
any protester displaying foreign flags in the country, adding over

21
00:01:11,079 –> 00:01:14,280
ninety persons have been arrested in connection with the display

22
00:01:14,359 –> 00:01:18,000
of foreign flags in Nigeria, including the tellers and their sponsors.

23
00:01:18,760 –> 00:01:21,000
Ring a war MOPy in his worlds said, for the

24
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:24,439
avoidance of doubt, President Symobel did not fly a Russian

25
00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:28,319
flag yesterday during his broadcast to the nation. The flag

26
00:01:28,400 –> 00:01:30,640
you sit to his left, which enemies of the country

27
00:01:30,640 –> 00:01:34,079
purports to be a Russian flag, actually represents the combined

28
00:01:34,079 –> 00:01:38,159
colors of the Nigerian Armed Forces. The colors red, Bavery

29
00:01:38,159 –> 00:01:41,519
blue and lights type blue represents the different forces, the Army,

30
00:01:41,760 –> 00:01:45,319
Nevy and the Air Force. The Russian flag is similar

31
00:01:45,359 –> 00:01:48,719
to our armed forces flag, however, it is almost the

32
00:01:48,760 –> 00:01:51,480
reverse of our flag in that whereas our Armed forces

33
00:01:51,519 –> 00:01:54,239
flag is red, Nevy blue and lights tye blue, the

34
00:01:54,319 –> 00:01:57,319
flag of the Russian Federation begins with the white color,

35
00:01:57,519 –> 00:02:00,719
then a blue, and ants with a red. Other difference

36
00:02:00,799 –> 00:02:03,840
between the Nigerian Armed Forces flag and the Russian flag

37
00:02:03,920 –> 00:02:06,640
is that, whereas the third color of the Nigerian Amforces

38
00:02:06,719 –> 00:02:09,199
flag is lights tight l, the first color on the.

39
00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: Russian Federussian flag is white.

40
00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Please not the difference and do not let anyone pass

41
00:02:14,840 –> 00:02:17,719
lights you into hoisting and webbing Russian flags on the

42
00:02:17,719 –> 00:02:20,360
mistaken believe that it is the same flag flown by

43
00:02:20,439 –> 00:02:23,280
our President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

44
00:02:23,360 –> 00:02:25,199
Speaker 2: During his speech yesterday.

45
00:02:25,439 –> 00:02:29,159
Speaker 1: Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff c d s General Christopher

46
00:02:29,199 –> 00:02:33,439
Mustafa had unwounded, declared that individual whilst flying Russian flags

47
00:02:33,439 –> 00:02:35,280
in Nigeria have committed.

48
00:02:34,800 –> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: A treasonable offense.

49
00:02:36,919 –> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: The Defense chief made the declaration while speaking two newsmen

50
00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:44,800
after an emergency security meeting with President bolatynobo at asou Rock.

51
00:02:45,599 –> 00:02:48,240
He valved that the law would catch up with such persons.

52
00:02:48,719 –> 00:02:51,479
Mustafa said the actions of those calling for a cup,

53
00:02:51,560 –> 00:02:54,759
added that the military has embraced democracy and would never

54
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:58,360
allow re dream change. He said, we wanted to break

55
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,280
mista president on Lisitu way on ground and we know

56
00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:04,520
that since the riots has started, all the security agencies

57
00:03:04,560 –> 00:03:07,960
you can see all of us together. Initially when the

58
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:10,639
riots started, they said it was a peaceful one boat.

59
00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:13,319
We have realized that there are individuals that are willing

60
00:03:13,400 –> 00:03:16,159
to take advantage of it to cause were health and

61
00:03:16,319 –> 00:03:19,400
we can see clearly what has happened since it has commenced.

62
00:03:20,159 –> 00:03:24,319
Criminals have taken over a lot of looting taking place, stealing.

63
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:25,159
Speaker 2: And all sorts happening.

64
00:03:25,919 –> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: And besides, all of us have seen it where foreign

65
00:03:28,400 –> 00:03:31,560
flags have been flown within the sovereignty of Nigeria and

66
00:03:31,639 –> 00:03:35,400
that is totally unacceptable. We are warning in clear terms

67
00:03:35,439 –> 00:03:37,960
and the President has also said we should convery this

68
00:03:38,080 –> 00:03:41,840
that we will not accept anybody, any individual fly in

69
00:03:41,879 –> 00:03:45,919
any foreign flag in Nigeria. That is treasonable offense and

70
00:03:46,000 –> 00:03:49,400
it will be viewed and treated as such. So nobody

71
00:03:49,439 –> 00:03:53,039
shall allow himself to be used by any individual. Also

72
00:03:53,199 –> 00:03:56,719
the issue of course, Nigeria is a sovereign nation. Nigeria

73
00:03:56,879 –> 00:04:00,360
is a democratic nation. All security agencies are he to

74
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:04,039
defend democracy and ensure that democracy continues to strive.

75
00:04:04,759 –> 00:04:05,319
Speaker 2: We will not.

76
00:04:05,400 –> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Accept anyone pushing or taking any action, seemingly or for

77
00:04:09,039 –> 00:04:12,159
whatever reasons, to want to push for any change of government.

78
00:04:13,039 –> 00:04:16,319
Democracy is what we sturn for democracy is what will

79
00:04:16,360 –> 00:04:17,519
continue to defend.

80
00:04:18,240 –> 00:04:19,879
Speaker 2: The Nigeria Police Force, in a.

81
00:04:19,839 –> 00:04:22,199
Speaker 1: Statement issued by all who you are at their joby

82
00:04:22,439 –> 00:04:25,720
the first spokespercent few hours they go, said the force

83
00:04:25,839 –> 00:04:28,959
has issued a stern warning against the display of foreign

84
00:04:29,000 –> 00:04:33,000
flags during protests and calls for a military takeover, categorizing

85
00:04:33,079 –> 00:04:37,079
such actions as treasonable felloonies ND the Nigerian law. This

86
00:04:37,279 –> 00:04:41,399
follows a wave of violent protests, particularly in Basi, Colonel

87
00:04:41,639 –> 00:04:47,120
Carduna and Katsina’s states, where protesters brandished foreign flags. Ongoing

88
00:04:47,199 –> 00:04:51,360
investigations reveal that protest organizers in the states mentioned above

89
00:04:51,360 –> 00:04:56,399
allying innocent children into participating in these unpatrotic and criminal acts.

90
00:04:56,879 –> 00:05:00,399
Over ninety suspects have been arrested, including te us who

91
00:05:00,439 –> 00:05:04,160
sold the flags and their sponsors. Efforts are underway to

92
00:05:04,279 –> 00:05:07,560
apprehend others who sponsored the production of the flags.

93
00:05:07,160 –> 00:05:09,079
Speaker 2: And foel distreasonable acts.

94
00:05:09,639 –> 00:05:12,439
Speaker 1: They display of foreign flags and calls for a military

95
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:16,399
takeover constitutes a clear reasonable offense, revealing the motives of

96
00:05:16,480 –> 00:05:22,000
protest organizers to disturbilize Nigeria’s democratic governments. This aligns with

97
00:05:22,079 –> 00:05:25,600
actionable intelligence on the tactics of fifth colonists and non

98
00:05:25,639 –> 00:05:30,240
state actors exploiting economic hardship protests to further their nefarious goals.

99
00:05:30,959 –> 00:05:34,560
Tensions from the aging protests have his following President polar

100
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:38,920
Amed Lubus address on August fourth, twenty twenty four. However,

101
00:05:39,240 –> 00:05:42,120
some groups persist in subversive campaigns in the form of

102
00:05:42,199 –> 00:05:46,279
violent and unlawful protests characterized by the destruction of public

103
00:05:46,279 –> 00:05:50,879
infrastructure and private property, looting, display of foreign flags and

104
00:05:51,000 –> 00:05:55,120
calls for a military takeover. These individuals and groups will

105
00:05:55,120 –> 00:05:59,199
be treated as subversive agents and charge accordingly. They inspect

106
00:05:59,279 –> 00:06:02,000
a General or Police aig Pi Kayode and the w

107
00:06:02,199 –> 00:06:06,519
abitokn has directed Deputy Inspectors General of Police for the

Northwest and Northeast Zones digs Balachioma and Beloma Kwashe to

109
00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:13,920
take charge of oppressions in the states within the Tuduo

110
00:06:13,959 –> 00:06:17,639
political Zones. Whereas obversive campaigns are ongoing under the guise

111
00:06:17,680 –> 00:06:21,600
of protests, they are tasked with stabilizing this situation and

112
00:06:21,680 –> 00:06:26,399
preventing further violence in the affected states. The Nigeria Police

113
00:06:26,399 –> 00:06:28,920
paused the interiates that the use of foreign flats during

114
00:06:28,959 –> 00:06:31,879
protests and openly calling for a military takeover of the

115
00:06:31,920 –> 00:06:35,560
government is a capital offense on the Nigerian law. The

116
00:06:35,680 –> 00:06:39,040
police cushions Nigerian youths to be wary of individuals and

117
00:06:39,120 –> 00:06:42,639
groups turning protests into business ventures funded by local or

118
00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:47,000
foreign sponsors and mean to disturbilize the country. Evidence shows

119
00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:50,040
that these sponsors have ct significant sums to exploit the

120
00:06:50,079 –> 00:06:54,000
hardship protests when washing and miceding innocent children into edding

121
00:06:54,000 –> 00:06:58,360
this campaign against the government. The Nigeria Police Force salutes

122
00:06:58,439 –> 00:07:01,680
Nigerians who have refused to participate in and indeed spoke

123
00:07:01,720 –> 00:07:04,560
out against the Your Time protests out of chair patriotism

124
00:07:04,600 –> 00:07:07,160
and believe in the government’s genuine efforts to put the

125
00:07:07,199 –> 00:07:10,720
country on the path of economic recovery and growth. We

126
00:07:10,839 –> 00:07:14,480
also acknowledge the patriotism of those who peacefully participated in

127
00:07:14,519 –> 00:07:17,480
the protest but withdrew when the tongue violence, and those

128
00:07:17,519 –> 00:07:20,800
who heeded the precedents called to embrace dialogue by withdrawing

129
00:07:20,839 –> 00:07:25,279
from the protests. The NTF remains committed to maintaining peace,

130
00:07:25,360 –> 00:07:29,000
protecting the nation’s heritage, and working with the public to

131
00:07:29,120 –> 00:07:34,519
ensure the safety and stability of Nigeria. Sad Green Day
