1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls

2
00:00:04,960 –> 00:00:08,320
with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United

3
00:00:08,359 –> 00:00:12,320
States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will

4
00:00:12,359 –> 00:00:15,000
meet with him next week Friday in the U S

5
00:00:15,000 –> 00:00:18,719
state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the

6
00:00:18,719 –> 00:00:21,239
White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of

7
00:00:21,359 –> 00:00:25,440
territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically

8
00:00:25,480 –> 00:00:28,239
saying we will get some back and we will get

9
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:30,920
some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to

10
00:00:30,960 –> 00:00:34,280
the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently

11
00:00:34,359 –> 00:00:38,479
drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who

12
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:42,159
have issued series of video and written press releases since

13
00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:46,399
President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will

14
00:00:46,439 –> 00:00:48,920
not see any of its territory to Russia for the

15
00:00:48,960 –> 00:00:52,200
purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that

16
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:56,399
it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory

17
00:00:56,479 –> 00:00:59,880
in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders were

18
00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:03,960
without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war

19
00:01:04,079 –> 00:01:07,920
with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path

20
00:01:07,959 –> 00:01:11,400
to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine.

21
00:01:11,799 –> 00:01:15,159
This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and

22
00:01:15,239 –> 00:01:19,719
a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position,

23
00:01:20,120 –> 00:01:24,959
cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump,

24
00:01:25,359 –> 00:01:29,159
the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the

25
00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:33,640
United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia

26
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,719
will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five,

27
00:01:38,159 –> 00:01:42,000
in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow.

28
00:01:42,319 –> 00:01:45,599
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in

29
00:01:45,640 –> 00:01:49,400
a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have

30
00:01:49,519 –> 00:01:52,920
not heard any partners express doubts about America’s ability to

31
00:01:53,079 –> 00:01:56,599
ensure that the war ends. The President of the United

32
00:01:56,640 –> 00:02:00,920
States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported

33
00:02:00,959 –> 00:02:06,280
all of President Trump’s proposals starting back in February cease fire,

34
00:02:06,719 –> 00:02:10,240
all formats have been supported. What is needed now is

35
00:02:10,280 –> 00:02:13,759
not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece,

36
00:02:14,599 –> 00:02:17,719
not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,

37
00:02:17,960 –> 00:02:22,360
but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully

38
00:02:22,400 –> 00:02:25,240
support it. There must be a just end to the war,

39
00:02:25,599 –> 00:02:27,560
and it is Russia that must end the war it

40
00:02:27,639 –> 00:02:31,759
started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of

41
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:34,120
the need for a cease fire, for an end to

42
00:02:34,159 –> 00:02:38,439
the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.

43
00:02:38,919 –> 00:02:41,639
His only card is the ability to kill, and he

44
00:02:41,719 –> 00:02:44,120
is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the

45
00:02:44,199 –> 00:02:47,919
highest possible price. It is important that this does not

46
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:51,319
mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader’s level,

47
00:02:51,759 –> 00:02:55,719
dignified results, results that will save lives that the world

48
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:58,199
will value and for which it will be grateful to

49
00:02:58,240 –> 00:03:02,879
the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin’s tactics.

50
00:03:03,280 –> 00:03:06,520
He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.

51
00:03:06,919 –> 00:03:09,639
He wants to exchange appalls in the war in the

52
00:03:09,719 –> 00:03:13,120
killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.

53
00:03:13,599 –> 00:03:16,560
He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,

54
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,280
Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to

55
00:03:20,319 –> 00:03:24,639
the occupation in Daniesk and Luhnsk regions. He received no

56
00:03:24,800 –> 00:03:28,719
preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.

57
00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:31,800
This led to the full scale war and the occupation

58
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:35,639
of even more parts of Ukraine. Now Putin wants to

59
00:03:35,639 –> 00:03:39,680
be forgiven for seizing the south of our curson region Zaporigia,

60
00:03:40,080 –> 00:03:44,240
the entire territory of Luhansk and Danyesk regions, and Crimea.

61
00:03:44,680 –> 00:03:47,919
We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine,

62
00:03:48,280 –> 00:03:51,280
knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be

63
00:03:51,319 –> 00:03:55,039
a third. That is why we stand firm on clear

64
00:03:55,159 –> 00:03:58,840
Ukrainian positions. We must end the war with a dignified

65
00:03:58,879 –> 00:04:03,960
peace based on a clear and reliable security architecture. Our

66
00:04:04,039 –> 00:04:06,759
partners are ready to help us with this. We have

67
00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:09,439
just had a report from our team in the UK

68
00:04:09,960 –> 00:04:14,360
from Andrew Yermick. There were talks among the security representatives

69
00:04:14,360 –> 00:04:18,720
of the US and Europe, Ukraine, the US Vice President, Vance,

70
00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:26,040
the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Poland. The meeting was constructive.

71
00:04:26,319 –> 00:04:29,240
The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together

72
00:04:29,319 –> 00:04:33,720
with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint

73
00:04:33,720 –> 00:04:37,920
approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a

74
00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:42,959
consolidated position, cease fire, end of occupation, end of war.

75
00:04:43,360 –> 00:04:46,360
Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace.

76
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:50,000
Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are

77
00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:53,439
without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace,

78
00:04:54,240 –> 00:04:58,199
they will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They

79
00:04:58,199 –> 00:05:02,319
are unworkable decisions, and we all need real and genuine peace,

80
00:05:02,839 –> 00:05:07,160
peace that people will respect. President Trump announced preparations for

81
00:05:07,240 –> 00:05:10,639
his meeting with Putin in Alaska, very far away from

82
00:05:10,639 –> 00:05:14,480
this war which is raging on our land against our people,

83
00:05:14,759 –> 00:05:18,279
and which anyway can’t be ended without us without Ukraine.

84
00:05:18,839 –> 00:05:21,680
Putin did not believe in our people and therefore made

85
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:25,399
the hopeless decision to try to take Ukraine. This was

86
00:05:25,399 –> 00:05:29,720
his main mistake, not taking Ukrainians into account. I believe

87
00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:34,560
in our people. Ukrainians are strong. Ukrainians defend what’s theirs.

88
00:05:34,920 –> 00:05:38,079
Many in the world have sided with Ukraine during the war.

89
00:05:38,519 –> 00:05:40,879
Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is

90
00:05:40,920 –> 00:05:44,839
doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for

91
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:49,600
what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace, but

92
00:05:49,759 –> 00:05:53,680
all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This

93
00:05:53,759 –> 00:05:56,519
war must be brought to an end, and Russia must

94
00:05:56,680 –> 00:05:59,800
end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out,

95
00:06:00,160 –> 00:06:04,079
ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.

96
00:06:04,839 –> 00:06:08,360
The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in

97
00:06:08,399 –> 00:06:12,480
the constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this

98
00:06:12,959 –> 00:06:16,399
and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not

99
00:06:16,519 –> 00:06:19,319
give their land to the occupier. We are ready to

100
00:06:19,399 –> 00:06:23,040
work together with President Trump, together with all our partners,

101
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:27,639
for realand most importantly lasting peace, a piece that will

102
00:06:27,680 –> 00:06:31,399
not collapse because of Moscow’s desires. I thank all our

103
00:06:31,439 –> 00:06:35,160
people for being together. Ukraine is I thank all our

104
00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:40,079
soldiers for preserving our independence. Stand firm. This is our land.

105
00:06:40,399 –> 00:06:44,079
We are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. There is already a

106
00:06:44,120 –> 00:06:47,360
lot of support and it comes in the new circumstances.

107
00:06:47,680 –> 00:06:50,279
With a deadline now set for Russia to cease fire.

108
00:06:51,079 –> 00:06:53,879
So far we see that the Russians are ignoring it,

109
00:06:54,240 –> 00:06:58,120
at least for now. Today has once again brought killings

110
00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:01,360
and Russian shelling. Over a hun hundred strike drones were

111
00:07:01,399 –> 00:07:05,120
launched overnight against Ukraine, followed during the day by air

112
00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:08,560
bomb strikes, intense assaults on the front line, and yet

113
00:07:08,560 –> 00:07:12,120
more air raid alerts in our cities and communities. No

114
00:07:12,360 –> 00:07:15,040
orders to stop have been given to the Russian Army.

115
00:07:15,439 –> 00:07:18,399
We are speaking with our partners to ensure real steps

116
00:07:18,399 –> 00:07:22,959
are taken. We are in constant communication with the American side,

117
00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:26,639
and our partners, for their part, are also engaging with

118
00:07:26,720 –> 00:07:30,560
the United States. All are united in the understanding that

119
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:33,199
there is a chance to achieve at least a cease fire,

120
00:07:33,519 –> 00:07:36,319
and that everything depends on the right pressure on Russia.

121
00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:40,920
I had a good conversation with President of Finland Alexander Staff.

122
00:07:41,319 –> 00:07:44,839
We are coordinating positions for the most productive joint work

123
00:07:44,920 –> 00:07:49,000
with America. It is important that America has the determination

124
00:07:49,160 –> 00:07:51,800
and the ability to end the war, and we welcome

125
00:07:51,839 –> 00:07:55,600
President Trump’s desire to stop the killings. To respond to

126
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:59,519
Russia’s intention to prolong the war and seize territorial spoils,

127
00:08:00,120 –> 00:08:05,399
must act wisely and in coordination. Thank you for your support, Alexander.

128
00:08:05,879 –> 00:08:09,839
Ukraine and Finland have the longest borders with Russia in Europe,

129
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:13,040
and our people know very well what threats this brings.

130
00:08:13,839 –> 00:08:17,399
We agreed to continue working together for our common security.

131
00:08:17,839 –> 00:08:21,319
I spoke with uk Prime Minister kir Starmer. I am

132
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:24,439
grateful for the support. We share the same view on

133
00:08:24,519 –> 00:08:27,160
the need for a truly lasting piece for Ukraine and

134
00:08:27,199 –> 00:08:30,079
on the danger of Russia’s plan to reduce everything to

135
00:08:30,160 –> 00:08:34,360
discussing the impossible. Clear steps are needed as well as

136
00:08:34,399 –> 00:08:38,440
maximum co ordination between US and our partners. We value

137
00:08:38,480 –> 00:08:42,399
the determination of the United Kingdom, the United States, and

138
00:08:42,519 –> 00:08:45,799
all our partners to end the war. We are actively

139
00:08:45,840 –> 00:08:49,480
working for constructive diplomacy and to ensure that the decisions

140
00:08:49,519 –> 00:08:53,840
can work. We agreed on further contacts. I spoke with

141
00:08:53,960 –> 00:08:57,879
Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez. I am grateful for

142
00:08:57,919 –> 00:09:01,559
Spain’s support for Ukraine and our Pea. I informed about

143
00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:05,600
the diplomatic situation and our contacts with partners, and shared

144
00:09:05,639 –> 00:09:08,399
our vision of what the next steps should be. The

145
00:09:08,519 –> 00:09:11,000
main thing now is to ensure that Russia does not

146
00:09:11,120 –> 00:09:15,399
once again impose its unrealistic conditions on anyone. It is

147
00:09:15,480 –> 00:09:19,159
important that Pedro and I share the same view. Europe’s

148
00:09:19,240 –> 00:09:23,039
voice must be taken into account. We are coordinating our

149
00:09:23,080 –> 00:09:26,600
common European position. We are ready to move as quickly

150
00:09:26,639 –> 00:09:30,720
and constructively as possible toward a just piece. We also

151
00:09:30,799 –> 00:09:36,039
discussed Ukraine’s path toward European integration. Ukraine has fulfilled all

152
00:09:36,120 –> 00:09:39,000
its obligations and is fully ready to open the first

153
00:09:39,039 –> 00:09:44,120
negotiating cluster. We discussed possible options and will look for solutions.

154
00:09:44,559 –> 00:09:48,080
We agreed to stay in touch. Thank you. I spoke

155
00:09:48,159 –> 00:09:51,879
with President of France Emmanuel Macron. I am grateful for

156
00:09:51,960 –> 00:09:56,960
the support. We exchanged views on the diplomatic situation Ukraine,

157
00:09:57,159 –> 00:09:59,879
France and all our partners are ready to work as

158
00:10:00,039 –> 00:10:03,600
productively as possible for the sake of real peace. It

159
00:10:03,679 –> 00:10:06,639
is truly important that the Russians do not succeed in

160
00:10:06,720 –> 00:10:10,360
deceiving anyone again. We all need a genuine end to

161
00:10:10,399 –> 00:10:14,039
the war and reliable security foundations for Ukraine and other

162
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:19,600
European nations. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Denmark Metafredericksen.

163
00:10:20,039 –> 00:10:23,519
I am grateful for the support. We discuss the diplomatic

164
00:10:23,639 –> 00:10:28,639
situation and communication with partners both hours and metas these

165
00:10:28,759 –> 00:10:33,639
days diplomatic activity is extremely high. However, we see no

166
00:10:33,799 –> 00:10:37,480
changes in Russia’s position. The Russians still refuse to stop

167
00:10:37,519 –> 00:10:40,639
the killings, still invest in the war, and still push

168
00:10:40,720 –> 00:10:45,600
the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory with

169
00:10:45,759 –> 00:10:49,799
consequences that guarantee nothing accept more favorable positions for Russia

170
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:53,320
to resume the war. All our steps must bring us

171
00:10:53,360 –> 00:10:56,879
closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration,

172
00:10:57,720 –> 00:11:01,720
and our joint decisions with partners must serve our common security.

173
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:05,720
We also discussed with Meta our work toward EU membership

174
00:11:06,000 –> 00:11:09,120
and the progress on this path for both Ukraine and Moldova.

175
00:11:09,759 –> 00:11:11,799
We share the same view on the need for a

176
00:11:11,879 –> 00:11:15,080
fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for Ukraine and

177
00:11:15,120 –> 00:11:27,080
Moldova together. Thank you, Binni. Nigeria Police Force has refuted

178
00:11:27,080 –> 00:11:31,360
claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter’s publisher,

179
00:11:31,639 –> 00:11:35,799
Amile Saware inside cell after the media personnel honored the

180
00:11:35,840 –> 00:11:39,360
invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General

181
00:11:39,360 –> 00:11:43,759
of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation

182
00:11:43,840 –> 00:11:46,960
of characters, with the police stating in a press release

183
00:11:47,039 –> 00:11:50,480
signed and made available after the detained media publisher was

184
00:11:50,519 –> 00:11:54,919
released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside

185
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:58,000
other personal items when he came to the station to

186
00:11:58,080 –> 00:12:02,000
honor the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal

187
00:12:02,080 –> 00:12:06,200
investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured

188
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:09,840
as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the

189
00:12:09,919 –> 00:12:13,600
Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand

190
00:12:13,679 –> 00:12:15,960
he had claimed he suffered as a result of the

191
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:20,639
police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the

192
00:12:20,679 –> 00:12:24,919
time Sware was released on Friday night, bandages were still

193
00:12:24,960 –> 00:12:27,559
seen wrapped around one of his hands, a scene in

194
00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:30,399
the video while he was coming out from the IGP

195
00:12:30,720 –> 00:12:35,360
Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as

196
00:12:35,360 –> 00:12:39,360
stated by Sware in the video. Shortly after his release

197
00:12:39,399 –> 00:12:43,919
from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday,

198
00:12:44,320 –> 00:12:47,759
Saware posted on his social media handles and said that

199
00:12:48,159 –> 00:12:51,320
freedom is never given. It is not a gift from

200
00:12:51,320 –> 00:12:54,759
the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor.

201
00:12:55,480 –> 00:12:58,799
It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and

202
00:12:58,840 –> 00:13:02,399
with collective will. Those who sit in power never give

203
00:13:02,440 –> 00:13:05,960
it up willingly. That’s why we take it back, because

204
00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:08,440
freedom is ours and we will fight until it is

205
00:13:08,480 –> 00:13:12,840
no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force,

206
00:13:12,879 –> 00:13:16,000
in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five,

207
00:13:16,039 –> 00:13:20,039
and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police

208
00:13:20,039 –> 00:13:23,440
Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave

209
00:13:23,519 –> 00:13:27,159
of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest

210
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:31,480
and detention of mister on Yale Saware, a figure known

211
00:13:31,519 –> 00:13:35,799
for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state

212
00:13:35,879 –> 00:13:39,759
institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector

213
00:13:39,879 –> 00:13:44,799
General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister

214
00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:50,519
Sirware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal

215
00:13:50,519 –> 00:13:55,240
offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under

216
00:13:55,279 –> 00:13:59,600
active investigation. The arrest was effected in full compliance with

217
00:13:59,639 –> 00:14:04,559
extrame and legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards,

218
00:14:04,799 –> 00:14:08,840
due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear,

219
00:14:09,240 –> 00:14:13,080
Mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight

220
00:14:13,120 –> 00:14:17,200
hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section

221
00:14:17,279 –> 00:14:21,200
thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of

222
00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:25,320
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. He is fully

223
00:14:25,320 –> 00:14:28,200
aware of the nature of the allegations against him and

224
00:14:28,279 –> 00:14:32,039
has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected

225
00:14:32,080 –> 00:14:35,120
to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the

226
00:14:35,120 –> 00:14:38,080
coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful

227
00:14:38,159 –> 00:14:43,159
and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is

228
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:47,519
the narrative suggesting that mister Sare was tortured or subjected

229
00:14:47,519 –> 00:14:51,240
to any form of inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody.

230
00:14:51,919 –> 00:14:55,720
The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero tolerance policy for

231
00:14:55,799 –> 00:14:59,200
torture in alignment with the provisions of the Anti Torture

232
00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:03,879
Act twenty seventeen and in fulfillment of Nigeria’s obligations under

233
00:15:03,919 –> 00:15:08,679
applicable international human rights instruments. The viral image of mister

234
00:15:09,159 –> 00:15:12,559
s Ware with a bandaged arm has been mischievously presented

235
00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:16,960
to mislead the public and stir unwarranted outrage. For the record,

236
00:15:17,279 –> 00:15:20,320
the bandage was part of his personal belongings at the time.

237
00:15:20,399 –> 00:15:23,759
He honored the police’s invitation prior to his arrest and

238
00:15:23,840 –> 00:15:28,159
detention in any case, Upon receiving the report that mister

239
00:15:28,679 –> 00:15:32,399
s Ware was later seen wearing the bandage while in custody,

240
00:15:32,759 –> 00:15:36,519
the Inspector General of Police promptly ordered an internal investigation

241
00:15:36,639 –> 00:15:39,559
to ascertain how he had access to it during detention,

242
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:43,879
particularly in light of his consistent refusal to undergo medical

243
00:15:43,919 –> 00:15:48,399
examination by the independent teams deployed by the police. This

244
00:15:48,519 –> 00:15:54,679
proactive step underscores the igp’s unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism

245
00:15:54,919 –> 00:15:59,480
and strict adherents to established custodial protocols. In the spirit

246
00:15:59,519 –> 00:16:03,639
of accountability and transparency, the Force promptly responded to the

247
00:16:03,639 –> 00:16:07,519
claims of brutality by dispatching a medical team led by

248
00:16:07,559 –> 00:16:11,320
the medical Director of the Mahammadu Buhari Police Hospital to

249
00:16:11,399 –> 00:16:14,879
conduct an independent examination. On the seventh of August twenty

250
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:20,799
twenty five. Mister Sirware declined the evaluation. A second medical team,

251
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:24,279
this time led by the Force Medical Officer, was sent

252
00:16:24,360 –> 00:16:27,279
on the eighth of August twenty twenty five, and again

253
00:16:27,679 –> 00:16:32,799
access was denied by the suspect. These refusals are officially documented.

254
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:37,240
While the police respect the individual’s right to decline medical assessment,

255
00:16:37,679 –> 00:16:40,879
the record must show that the opportunity for independent medical

256
00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:46,440
verification was twice provided and twice rejected. Furthermore, his continued

257
00:16:46,440 –> 00:16:49,720
detention is not arbitrary. It is anchored on a valid

258
00:16:49,799 –> 00:16:54,159
remand order issued by a competent court of jurisdiction. Every

259
00:16:54,240 –> 00:16:57,320
action taken by the Nigeria Police Force in this matter

260
00:16:57,399 –> 00:17:01,679
has been underpinned by legal authority devoid of malice, bias

261
00:17:01,960 –> 00:17:06,839
or political undertones. The Force urges the media, civil society

262
00:17:06,880 –> 00:17:11,200
actors and the public to exercise greater diligence, restraint and

263
00:17:11,279 –> 00:17:17,440
professional responsibility in their reporting. Sensationalism, particularly when driven by

264
00:17:17,480 –> 00:17:21,400
those with personal vendettas against the police leadership, poses a

265
00:17:21,440 –> 00:17:25,480
clear risk to public trust and the integrity of ongoing investigations.

266
00:17:26,240 –> 00:17:29,960
The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the

267
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:33,319
protection of human rights, respect for the rule of law,

268
00:17:33,599 –> 00:17:37,880
and the pursuit of justice without fear or favor. No individual,

269
00:17:38,440 –> 00:17:43,440
regardless of their status, influence, or social media reach, is

270
00:17:43,519 –> 00:17:47,039
above the law. Further updates on this matter will be

271
00:17:47,079 –> 00:17:51,680
provided as investigations proceed in accordance with due process. We

272
00:17:51,799 –> 00:17:54,960
had reported that the human rights activist and founder of

273
00:17:55,000 –> 00:18:00,720
Sahaa Reporters News Network, Emiele Saware, has been reportedly unhandled

274
00:18:00,960 –> 00:18:04,720
on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices from

275
00:18:04,759 –> 00:18:09,039
the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the

276
00:18:09,119 –> 00:18:12,240
journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of

277
00:18:12,279 –> 00:18:15,359
the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated,

278
00:18:15,680 –> 00:18:19,200
but the media personnel working with Omi La Sware in

279
00:18:19,240 –> 00:18:23,240
a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal

280
00:18:23,359 –> 00:18:27,279
social media handles of Saware said that the police presented

281
00:18:27,319 –> 00:18:31,720
two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and defamation of character,

282
00:18:32,160 –> 00:18:36,160
adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit

283
00:18:36,240 –> 00:18:39,440
as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Saware

284
00:18:39,680 –> 00:18:43,519
cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged

285
00:18:43,519 –> 00:18:46,839
pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when

286
00:18:46,880 –> 00:18:50,079
the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he

287
00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:53,519
was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen.

288
00:18:53,960 –> 00:18:58,880
This Barrister adianju Deji petition the President of Nigeria, Bola

289
00:18:58,920 –> 00:19:03,839
Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode

290
00:19:03,839 –> 00:19:07,759
Eggbatoken for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his

291
00:19:07,960 –> 00:19:11,759
high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to settle

292
00:19:11,759 –> 00:19:16,079
personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted

293
00:19:16,119 –> 00:19:19,559
to these allegations, but the force in a press release

294
00:19:19,599 –> 00:19:23,599
on Thursday afternoon apparently made statements in relation to the

295
00:19:23,640 –> 00:19:28,799
current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiele Saware, by

296
00:19:28,880 –> 00:19:31,640
insisting in stating in the press statement that the recent

297
00:19:31,720 –> 00:19:36,160
promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit

298
00:19:36,400 –> 00:19:40,680
are not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly

299
00:19:40,720 –> 00:19:44,119
sponsoring deliberate falsehood to tarnish the image of the force,

300
00:19:44,640 –> 00:19:47,279
while also calling on offices and men of the force

301
00:19:47,359 –> 00:19:51,200
to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP

302
00:19:51,519 –> 00:19:54,480
has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get

303
00:19:54,519 –> 00:19:57,039
promotion will be made to face disciplinary action.

304
00:20:02,359 –> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, this is uh me here and I’ve

305
00:20:07,240 –> 00:20:12,359

00:20:30,960 –> 00:20:32,720
when they arrested me, the same thing that I’m not

312
00:20:32,839 –> 00:20:35,759

386
00:25:00,960 –> 00:25:05,319
founder of Sahara Reporters News Network, Omila Saware has been

387
00:25:05,359 –> 00:25:10,079
reportedly man handled on Thursday early warning inside police cell

388
00:25:10,240 –> 00:25:14,359
by offices from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring

389
00:25:14,480 –> 00:25:18,119
Unit after the journalist honored the invitation sent him from

390
00:25:18,160 –> 00:25:20,880
the office of the Inspector General of Police for a

391
00:25:20,960 –> 00:25:25,480
reason not stated, but the media personnel working with Omila Sware,

392
00:25:25,680 –> 00:25:29,319
in a statement on Thursday made available through the verified

393
00:25:29,400 –> 00:25:33,440
personal social media handles of Saware, said that the police

394
00:25:33,480 –> 00:25:37,640
presented two petitions against Sware over alleged forgery and defamation

395
00:25:37,759 –> 00:25:41,759
of character, adding that some police officers from the IGP

396
00:25:42,039 –> 00:25:45,519
Monitoring Unit as early as six a m. On Thursday

397
00:25:45,799 –> 00:25:49,640
entered Soware Cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja

398
00:25:50,039 –> 00:25:52,799
with alleged pretense to take the media publisher to court,

399
00:25:53,200 –> 00:25:56,799
but when the journalist demanded to see the charges against him,

400
00:25:57,200 –> 00:26:00,599
he was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen.

401
00:26:01,039 –> 00:26:05,160
This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria,

402
00:26:05,559 –> 00:26:09,680
Bola Ahmed Tenubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP,

403
00:26:10,400 –> 00:26:14,480
Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using

404
00:26:14,640 –> 00:26:18,279
his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to

405
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:22,279
settle personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not

406
00:26:22,480 –> 00:26:25,920
reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press

407
00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:30,079
release on Thursday afternoon, apparently made statements in relation to

408
00:26:30,160 –> 00:26:34,839
the current matters involving the detained media publisher, Omiyele Saware

409
00:26:35,319 –> 00:26:37,920
by insisting and stating in the press statement that the

410
00:26:38,039 –> 00:26:41,799
recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on

411
00:26:41,960 –> 00:26:46,000
merit and not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of

412
00:26:46,079 –> 00:26:50,160
allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force,

413
00:26:50,599 –> 00:26:53,359
while also calling on offices and men of the force

414
00:26:53,480 –> 00:26:57,279
to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP

415
00:26:57,559 –> 00:27:00,400
has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get

416
00:27:00,480 –> 00:27:04,720
promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. According to

417
00:27:04,799 –> 00:27:08,799
the post published via saware social media handles, the media

418
00:27:08,880 –> 00:27:12,039
team of the publisher said this morning at six a m.

419
00:27:12,440 –> 00:27:15,559
A police team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police

420
00:27:15,599 –> 00:27:20,160
from the IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena

421
00:27:20,319 –> 00:27:24,480
Saware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming

422
00:27:24,559 –> 00:27:27,599
they were taking him to court. The team of nine offices,

423
00:27:27,920 –> 00:27:31,680
including eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sawar roughly when he

424
00:27:31,839 –> 00:27:35,440
asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking

425
00:27:35,519 –> 00:27:38,559
his arm in the process, before taking him to another

426
00:27:38,640 –> 00:27:43,400
police facility, the media team stated. In another post, the

427
00:27:43,559 –> 00:27:48,319
media said the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin fakaray

428
00:27:48,400 –> 00:27:52,680
Day presented two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp’s office,

429
00:27:53,039 –> 00:27:56,799
one alleged forgery and the second written by Bukolayemis Kuttie,

430
00:27:57,039 –> 00:28:02,400
who was promoted to ACP because she’s mistress, alleges criminal defamation.

431
00:28:03,319 –> 00:28:06,799
So Morrey had before honoring the police invitation on Wednesday,

432
00:28:06,920 –> 00:28:10,599
said in a number of posts previous day that the

433
00:28:10,759 –> 00:28:14,640
IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at

434
00:28:14,640 –> 00:28:17,440
eleven a m. Yet they have refused to provide a

435
00:28:17,519 –> 00:28:20,960
copy of the purported petition against me. It is now

436
00:28:21,119 –> 00:28:24,200
clear that their intention is to conceal the sinister plan

437
00:28:24,359 –> 00:28:29,119
of the Illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness. Despite this,

438
00:28:29,680 –> 00:28:33,359
I will honor the invitation good, not alone. I will

439
00:28:33,400 –> 00:28:37,319
be going with a full house to all our revolutionary comrades.

440
00:28:37,599 –> 00:28:42,359
As always we moved together. Let every freedom fighter, every

441
00:28:42,480 –> 00:28:46,720
citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance assemble early tomorrow

442
00:28:46,839 –> 00:28:51,720
at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja. Revolutiono hegg

443
00:28:51,799 –> 00:28:55,720
Beetoken Musco. They say the illegal IGP spoke to day

444
00:28:55,799 –> 00:28:59,079
and send fresh threats against us. We heard that the

445
00:28:59,119 –> 00:29:04,400
illegal Inspector General of Police, Coyode Eggbetoken has issued fresh threats.

446
00:29:05,200 –> 00:29:09,119
But even his voice betrays him. His voice was cracked

447
00:29:09,119 –> 00:29:15,640
by incompetence, weighed down by immorality, nepotism, favoritism, tribalism. It

448
00:29:15,880 –> 00:29:19,200
was worn thin by the burden of failed leadership. We

449
00:29:19,319 –> 00:29:23,640
are Nigerian citizens who have faced down tyrants, dictators and

450
00:29:23,799 –> 00:29:27,400
power drunk men in and out of uniform. We’ve survived

451
00:29:27,480 –> 00:29:32,519
worse and we’ve conquered no amount of intimidation, propaganda or

452
00:29:32,599 –> 00:29:36,000
empty threats can shake our resolve or derail our desire

453
00:29:36,079 –> 00:29:41,160
for a better, just and dignified society. Aluter Continuer. The

454
00:29:41,279 –> 00:29:44,720
Nigeria Police Force, in a statement signed and made available

455
00:29:44,799 –> 00:29:48,599
by the force spokesperson, DCP On Luminua had A Jobbi,

456
00:29:49,079 –> 00:29:52,759
said the Nigeria Police Force has observed with concern the

457
00:29:52,839 –> 00:29:56,000
growing wave of lobbying and unofficial requests directed at the

458
00:29:56,079 –> 00:29:59,400
Inspector General of Police and the Police Service commissioned by

459
00:29:59,480 –> 00:30:04,079
certain offs seeking special promotions. This surge was triggered by

460
00:30:04,119 –> 00:30:08,119
the misinformation being spread by certain media platforms following the

461
00:30:08,240 –> 00:30:11,960
recent approval of accelerated promotions for a number of deserving

462
00:30:12,039 –> 00:30:16,920
offices who have distinguished themselves through exemporary service. The Force

463
00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:21,359
wishes to categorically state that these accelerated promotions were not arbitrary,

464
00:30:21,440 –> 00:30:24,920
but were part of a well structured reward system set

465
00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:28,400
up by the police leadership aimed at recognizing offices who

466
00:30:28,480 –> 00:30:34,279
have demonstrated outstanding performance uncommon bravery, professional excellence and commitment

467
00:30:34,359 –> 00:30:36,880
to duty in the offices who benefited with those who

468
00:30:36,960 –> 00:30:41,599
met the standardized guidelines for such accelerated promotion. The recent

469
00:30:41,759 –> 00:30:45,000
exercise does not signify the commencement of a general or

470
00:30:45,079 –> 00:30:50,160
indiscriminate special promotion scheme. In light of recent misleading reports

471
00:30:50,200 –> 00:30:53,920
sponsored by a particular online platform suggesting that the Police

472
00:30:54,039 –> 00:30:58,799
Force has initiated arbitrary promotions, the Nigeria Police Force firmly

473
00:30:58,880 –> 00:31:03,039
cautions the public to deat disregard such falsehoods. These reports

474
00:31:03,079 –> 00:31:07,160
are baseless, misleading and intended to undermine the integrity of

475
00:31:07,200 –> 00:31:12,400
the force’s promotion process. The NPF remains committed to transparency,

476
00:31:12,880 –> 00:31:18,359
merit and due process in all personnel decisions. Furthermore, offices

477
00:31:18,400 –> 00:31:21,920
are strongly cautioned against lobbying or attempting to influence the

478
00:31:22,000 –> 00:31:27,960
promotion process through unofficial means. Such conduct is unethical, undermines

479
00:31:28,039 –> 00:31:32,119
the principles of meritocracy and professionalism, and will attract severe

480
00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:36,720
disciplinary action in accordance with extant laws and regulations. The

481
00:31:36,839 –> 00:31:40,880
Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to a promotion system

482
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:45,559
anchored on integrity, verifiable merit and honorable service to the nation.

483
00:31:46,440 –> 00:31:50,440
Offices and men are hereby urged to remain dedicated, maintain

484
00:31:50,559 –> 00:31:54,559
discipline and continue to discharge the duties with pride and distinction.

485
00:31:55,000 –> 00:31:59,799
The Police stated human rights lawyer Barrister Addi Andjudjji, in

486
00:31:59,880 –> 00:32:03,279
a reaction to the photograph of Omili A Sare’s hand

487
00:32:03,359 –> 00:32:07,680
wrapped with bandages of the police detention facility said, egg

488
00:32:07,720 –> 00:32:11,559
Beethoken the most useless IGP in the history of Nigeria.

489
00:32:11,680 –> 00:32:14,880
Police has ordered the detention of Sware for criticizing his

490
00:32:15,000 –> 00:32:20,200
incompetent and favoritism promotions and other numerous infractions. How do

491
00:32:20,319 –> 00:32:24,079
you promote your personal staff arbitrarily? Just like that? The

492
00:32:24,160 –> 00:32:27,880
police ACKed twenty twenty in Regulation three hundred and sixty

493
00:32:27,960 –> 00:32:31,920
seven of the Nigeria Police Regulations forbids a police officer

494
00:32:32,000 –> 00:32:35,960
from settling personal scores and vendetta via the instrumentalities of

495
00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:39,079
their offices. But egg Beethoken is too shameless to care

496
00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:43,519
and continue to abuse his office. President Tanubu must sack

497
00:32:43,599 –> 00:32:47,119
him now. Egg Beethoken must go. In an open letter

498

and petition to President Bola Ahmed t Enubu, hadiyanju Deji

said and in quotes that your Excellency, with utmost respect

for the office you occupy, I write to draw your

00:32:57,759 –> 00:33:00,720
attention to the deepening rot within the niger Aerior Police

Force NPF, which, if left unchecked threatens to completely erode

503
00:33:06,279 –> 00:33:10,759
public trust and destroy the very institution meant to protect us.

504
00:33:10,839 –> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 5: All.

505
00:33:11,519 –> 00:33:14,359
Speaker 1: Under the watch of the current Inspector General of Police,

506
00:33:14,759 –> 00:33:17,839
the force has become increasingly compromised by a pattern of

507
00:33:17,960 –> 00:33:22,519
conduct that has brought the institution into disrepute. The NPF

508
00:33:22,680 –> 00:33:26,480
has become personalized and weaponized, with growing reports of the

509
00:33:26,599 –> 00:33:30,759
force being used to settle personal scores and intimidate private citizens.

510
00:33:31,559 –> 00:33:34,400
The civic space has shrunk under a climate of fear.

511
00:33:34,880 –> 00:33:39,359
Peaceful expression, association, and lawful dissent are now treated with

512
00:33:39,440 –> 00:33:43,279
suspicion or outright hostility by an institution that should protect

513
00:33:43,359 –> 00:33:47,599
these freedoms. More disturbingly, the men and women who serve

514
00:33:47,680 –> 00:33:50,720
in the police force continue to operate under conditions that

515
00:33:50,799 –> 00:33:55,799
are nothing short of inhumane. Reports of nepotism, favoritism, and

516
00:33:55,880 –> 00:34:00,279
ethnic promotions above competence and institutional framework has become order

517
00:34:00,359 –> 00:34:05,440
of the day. Offices lack adequate welfare, modern equipment, proper

518
00:34:05,519 –> 00:34:09,719
housing and fair remuneration, resulting into the recent police protest.

519
00:34:10,519 –> 00:34:13,599
The morale of the average policeman is low, and yet

520
00:34:13,599 –> 00:34:17,000
they are still expected to perform optimally. A force that

521
00:34:17,159 –> 00:34:20,400
is deprived of dignity cannot enforce the law with dignity.

522
00:34:21,199 –> 00:34:25,360
The NPS urgently needs reform, but reform cannot happen under

523
00:34:25,440 –> 00:34:29,320
leadership that undermines its very principles. It is in light

524
00:34:29,440 –> 00:34:32,400
of this that I respectfully urge you to act decisively

525
00:34:32,519 –> 00:34:35,400
by relieving the current Inspector General of Police of his

526
00:34:35,599 –> 00:34:38,360
duties and appointing a leader with a clear commitment to

527
00:34:38,480 –> 00:34:44,360
constitutional order and human rights. Yours, faithfully, dejiadian U. Esquire

528
00:34:44,800 –> 00:34:49,239
Hunch newspaper reported that the Coalition of United Political Parties

529
00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:52,280
and the Arowa Youth Ambassadors have called for the immediate

530
00:34:52,320 –> 00:34:56,840
and unconditional release of pro democracy activist and journalist Amielle

531
00:34:56,960 –> 00:35:00,960
Sawarre following his recent arrest by the Nigeri Police Force.

532
00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:05,800
In separate statements on Thursday, both groups condemned the arrest,

533
00:35:06,239 –> 00:35:09,800
describing it as a violation of Saware’s constitutional rights and

534
00:35:09,840 –> 00:35:15,280
an abuse of police authority. National Secretary of CUPP Peter

535
00:35:15,400 –> 00:35:19,320
Amme said Sir wares detention flouts Section thirty nine of

536
00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:23,960
the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and opinion.

537
00:35:24,760 –> 00:35:27,280
He said the police had turned into an instrument of

538
00:35:27,360 –> 00:35:31,639
oppression and call for accountability. We strongly condemned the arrest

539
00:35:31,719 –> 00:35:35,119
of Omiene Saware by the Nigerian Police and act that

540
00:35:35,239 –> 00:35:39,559
flouts Section thirty nine of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees

541
00:35:39,599 –> 00:35:43,280
the fundamental right to freedom of expression, including the freedom

542
00:35:43,360 –> 00:35:47,960
to hold opinions and share ideas without interference. This arrest

543
00:35:48,079 –> 00:35:51,000
is not only unjust, but also a disturbing misuse of

544
00:35:51,079 –> 00:35:55,199
police power, turning an institution meant to protect Nigerians into

545
00:35:55,280 –> 00:35:59,280
a tool for oppression and personal vendettas. This arrest is

546
00:35:59,320 –> 00:36:01,599
a blatant to use of power and an affront to

547
00:36:01,639 –> 00:36:05,519
the principles of justice and accountability enshrined in the Constitution.

548
00:36:06,480 –> 00:36:10,199
The Nigerian Police own Nigerians a clear explanation for Sir

549
00:36:10,239 –> 00:36:14,079
Ware’s arrest. Denying him his right to bail is indefensible

550
00:36:14,159 –> 00:36:17,719
and further exposes the misuse of authority to silence descent.

551
00:36:18,559 –> 00:36:21,920
We demand his immediate and unconditional release and if the

552
00:36:22,000 –> 00:36:25,079
Inspector General believes there is a case to answer, Sir

553
00:36:25,159 –> 00:36:28,239
Warez should be charged to court without delay, he stated.

554
00:36:29,039 –> 00:36:32,719
The Arowa Youth Ambassadors, in a separate statement signed by

555
00:36:32,800 –> 00:36:38,239
their national coordinator, Yeheya Abdullahi, also condemned Sir Ware’s continued

556
00:36:38,280 –> 00:36:41,360
detention and gave the federal authorities a seventy two hour

557
00:36:41,480 –> 00:36:44,840
ultimatum to release him or face protests across the nineteen

558
00:36:44,960 –> 00:36:49,039
Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory. The group said

559
00:36:49,079 –> 00:36:51,760
Sir Ware’s arrest was part of a pattern of harassment,

560
00:36:52,199 –> 00:36:55,679
alleging that state institutions were being misused to suppress descent.

561
00:36:56,559 –> 00:36:59,440
They warned that a continued clamp down on critics could

562
00:36:59,440 –> 00:37:03,559
erode democratic values and civic freedoms. In line with this,

563
00:37:04,119 –> 00:37:08,159
the Arowa Youth Ambassadors hereby issue a seventy two hour

564
00:37:08,280 –> 00:37:12,119
ultimatum to the Nigerian authorities to release Saware or face

565
00:37:12,280 –> 00:37:15,880
nationwide protests in all nineteen Northern States and the Federal

566
00:37:16,000 –> 00:37:20,679
Capital Territory. We will mobilize peaceful mass action in solidarity

567
00:37:20,800 –> 00:37:23,679
with Saware and in defense of the fundamental rights of

568
00:37:23,719 –> 00:37:27,920
all Nigerians to freedom of expression and assembly. We call

569
00:37:28,039 –> 00:37:33,639
on all progressive forces, civil society groups, student unions, labor

570
00:37:33,719 –> 00:37:37,440
movements and the general public to rise in unity against

571
00:37:37,480 –> 00:37:41,519
the growing tyranny and misuits of state power. Nigeria belongs

572
00:37:41,559 –> 00:37:44,119
to us all, and no government has the right to

573
00:37:44,159 –> 00:37:48,519
crush dissent in a democratic society. The statement added the

574
00:37:48,599 –> 00:37:51,119
police are yet to issue an official response to the

575
00:37:51,199 –> 00:37:59,519
reason for Saware’s arrest. Gingi ingim A Number is no

576
00:37:59,679 –> 00:38:03,239
doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and

577
00:38:03,440 –> 00:38:06,239
very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do

578
00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:08,880
lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing

579
00:38:08,960 –> 00:38:12,320
of security operatives and some other persons around the scene

580
00:38:12,360 –> 00:38:16,760
of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically,

581
00:38:17,199 –> 00:38:20,000
our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week

582
00:38:20,159 –> 00:38:23,800
without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innichhare,

583
00:38:23,840 –> 00:38:27,480
a wary federal road in a Nambra State, especially between

584
00:38:27,599 –> 00:38:31,280
Ober community and Ihiala town. As we gathered that most

585
00:38:31,400 –> 00:38:34,519
victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small

586
00:38:34,639 –> 00:38:38,440
and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled

587
00:38:38,440 –> 00:38:42,719
out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we

588
00:38:42,880 –> 00:38:46,559
learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along

589
00:38:46,599 –> 00:38:49,480
the Ihiala all who road left to be kidnapped or

590
00:38:49,599 –> 00:38:52,800
forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober,

591
00:38:53,199 –> 00:38:56,960
wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions

592
00:38:57,000 –> 00:39:00,440
of pain in silence to the kidnappers. According to members

593
00:39:00,480 –> 00:39:04,400
of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently

594
00:39:04,480 –> 00:39:07,119
at a location between the ober New Road and Old

595
00:39:07,280 –> 00:39:11,320
Road junctions, shortly after he visited his building construction site.

596
00:39:11,760 –> 00:39:14,079
While we also learned that some people in the state

597
00:39:14,199 –> 00:39:17,320
to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to

598
00:39:17,400 –> 00:39:19,719
get a share from the ransom that will be paid

599
00:39:19,840 –> 00:39:23,320
afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with

600
00:39:23,400 –> 00:39:26,400
their friends or co traders. It may interest you to

601
00:39:26,519 –> 00:39:30,239
know that the Enambra State Police Command recently arrested a

602
00:39:30,320 –> 00:39:35,119
twenty four year old male suspect Muanaie Victor for allegedly

603
00:39:35,199 –> 00:39:37,960
luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang

604
00:39:38,039 –> 00:39:41,639
Innuli Ihiala local government area of the state, and they

605
00:39:41,760 –> 00:39:45,719
reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five point

606
00:39:45,920 –> 00:39:49,320
three million narers with his gang members, just as government

607
00:39:49,400 –> 00:39:52,599
in a not too long distance time abducted a lawyer

608
00:39:52,679 –> 00:39:56,480
and two other persons in in polgu Aguata local government

609
00:39:56,639 –> 00:39:59,960
area of Anambra. In addition to previous cases of kis

610
00:40:00,039 –> 00:40:03,079
knapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea

611
00:40:03,280 –> 00:40:06,719
Org by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of

612
00:40:06,840 –> 00:40:10,679
persons along the new Ober Newi Road in Idomili South

613
00:40:10,840 –> 00:40:14,159
Local Government area of a Nambra State, with the number

614
00:40:14,199 –> 00:40:17,119
of those killed at the Porsche nightclub said to be seven,

615
00:40:17,199 –> 00:40:20,599
but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another

616
00:40:20,719 –> 00:40:23,039
had his foot cut off and made away by the

617
00:40:23,159 –> 00:40:27,480
invading deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well known

618
00:40:27,559 –> 00:40:31,920
native doctor or which doctor chidos in nawangu Aka Aqua

619
00:40:32,079 –> 00:40:36,400
Okako Tiuuraki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed

620
00:40:36,519 –> 00:40:39,639
in the vicinity of his hotel at ober community before

621
00:40:39,719 –> 00:40:43,039
the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after

622
00:40:43,159 –> 00:40:46,920
ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all. On

623
00:40:47,079 –> 00:40:51,280
May twenty one, twenty twenty two, shortly after Professor Chukuma

624
00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:55,480
Saludo was sworn in as governor, gunman abducted the lawmaker

625
00:40:55,559 –> 00:40:59,840
representing Aguata to constituency in the State House of Assembly,

626
00:41:00,320 –> 00:41:04,519
hok Chukua Koye a Koye also known as Hoki Dioke

627
00:41:05,159 –> 00:41:10,159
represented Soludo’s state constituency Isoophia. A Koye was killed and

628
00:41:10,239 –> 00:41:14,440
beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril chi Eboka. Six days after

629
00:41:14,519 –> 00:41:19,079
they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road, Anaroka Local government area

630
00:41:19,159 –> 00:41:21,719
of the state and their heads and bodies dumped along

631
00:41:21,760 –> 00:41:25,239
a roadside in the state. And in December twenty twenty four,

632
00:41:25,599 –> 00:41:28,960
another lawmaker in the State House of Assembly was kidnapped

633
00:41:29,000 –> 00:41:31,880
and killed and the victim, the lifeless body of the

634
00:41:31,960 –> 00:41:36,280
member representing Anicha North one constituency in the Nambra State

635
00:41:36,360 –> 00:41:40,039
House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the Second

636
00:41:40,159 –> 00:41:44,559
Niger Bridge with Azuka’s lifeless body, said to be already decomposing,

637
00:41:44,760 –> 00:41:48,159
was found by a joint team of security operatives forty

638
00:41:48,239 –> 00:41:51,639
four days after he was kidnapped on December twenty fourth,

639
00:41:51,800 –> 00:41:55,920
twenty twenty four along the Ugunarabanko Road in Inland Town,

640
00:41:56,320 –> 00:42:01,159
Anischa while returning home for Christmas. And the most prominent

641
00:42:01,239 –> 00:42:04,599
among the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state is

642
00:42:04,719 –> 00:42:08,320
Martin’s on Yekse, well known as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping

643
00:42:08,400 –> 00:42:11,800
and subsequent killing of the young small business owner sparked

644
00:42:11,880 –> 00:42:15,599
protest and public awareness like never before, with a social

645
00:42:15,719 –> 00:42:20,360
right activist, Martinsotzka Veri Dartmann coming to the state earlier

646
00:42:20,440 –> 00:42:23,760
on Sunday and led a protest walk on Tuesday, which

647
00:42:23,920 –> 00:42:27,599
was tagged Candlelight Procession March in honour of Phish Magnet,

648
00:42:28,079 –> 00:42:31,159
one of the most recent victims of the unabated deadly

649
00:42:31,320 –> 00:42:35,079
monetary kidnapping business apparently thriving in an Ambra like some

650
00:42:35,280 –> 00:42:39,440
other states in Nigeria, with Veridartmund saying during the protest

651
00:42:39,519 –> 00:42:42,039
that it may be right to say that kidnappers killed

652
00:42:42,119 –> 00:42:45,559
Phish Magnet, but the actual killers are the administrative failures

653
00:42:45,599 –> 00:42:50,119
of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo, the state Governor, Senator Bolah

654
00:42:50,119 –> 00:42:54,639
Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria, General Christopher Musa, the

655
00:42:54,760 –> 00:42:59,519
Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken, the Inspector General

656
00:42:59,559 –> 00:43:02,679
of Police and the local government area chairman or mayor,

657
00:43:02,760 –> 00:43:06,440
and accused him of incompetence in managing security matters in

658
00:43:06,519 –> 00:43:09,199
the state and the country at large, while the Enambra

659
00:43:09,320 –> 00:43:14,360
State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who also joined the campaign,

660
00:43:14,800 –> 00:43:18,280
said the campaign walk was not only about Phish Magnet,

661
00:43:18,320 –> 00:43:21,360
but a bold statement collectively made by an Ambra youths

662
00:43:21,440 –> 00:43:23,920
in solidarity and in support of the efforts of the

663
00:43:24,000 –> 00:43:27,719
security agencies in the State against killings and other crimes.

664
00:43:28,599 –> 00:43:31,719
After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated in a post that

665
00:43:32,199 –> 00:43:34,320
I am glad I found this online and like I

666
00:43:34,440 –> 00:43:38,239
clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by Chukuma Charles Soludo.

667
00:43:39,039 –> 00:43:43,039
He was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu. Ellipsis Dot

668
00:43:43,480 –> 00:43:46,880
rest in peace. My name’s sake, Martin’s on ye kca

669
00:43:46,960 –> 00:43:50,639
Fessenachi deer at phish Magnet, you send me a DM

670
00:43:50,760 –> 00:43:53,599
and I didn’t see it. Even if I had seen it,

671
00:43:53,679 –> 00:43:56,760
I wouldn’t have responded because I have other priorities and

672
00:43:56,880 –> 00:43:59,880
a lot of issues going on, and I always think

673
00:44:00,079 –> 00:44:03,039
people give me things to have me advertise for them,

674
00:44:03,119 –> 00:44:06,199
so I don’t accept gift. When I saw your post

675
00:44:06,280 –> 00:44:09,960
on tunde ed nut page, I actually commented something funny

676
00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:12,480
to let you know I saw it. You were gone

677
00:44:12,599 –> 00:44:15,480
now and I sincerely wish I had collected the fish

678
00:44:15,559 –> 00:44:19,280
from you, Ellipsis dot dot. I will like to also

679
00:44:19,440 –> 00:44:24,000
beg Nigerians to support his business his legacy continues. It

680
00:44:24,079 –> 00:44:26,079
should not be a case where because he is no

681
00:44:26,239 –> 00:44:29,440
more and then people will stop the patronage. The office

682
00:44:29,480 –> 00:44:34,719
and businesses still operating follow at pish Magnet they deliver nationwide.

683
00:44:35,039 –> 00:44:37,880
Lolai finally did the advert for you and you won’t

684
00:44:37,960 –> 00:44:43,000
even see it. Rest on King my namesake Tochukuakenga, the

685
00:44:43,199 –> 00:44:47,639
Nambra State Police Command spokesperson in a post also said

686
00:44:48,079 –> 00:44:51,400
it was a walk for peace, a stand against violent crime.

687
00:44:52,199 –> 00:44:54,480
The use of a nambre came out in their numbers

688
00:44:54,559 –> 00:44:57,840
in a symbolic walk for peace, a collective stance against

689
00:44:57,960 –> 00:45:01,880
violent crime. It was not just a march for Phish Magnet.

690
00:45:02,239 –> 00:45:05,119
It was a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police

691
00:45:05,159 –> 00:45:08,880
and other security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all

692
00:45:09,039 –> 00:45:13,920
forms of criminality. Together, they echoed a clear message. Enough

693
00:45:14,079 –> 00:45:17,559
is enough. Criminals can no longer be allowed to terrorize

694
00:45:17,559 –> 00:45:21,119
an Amra’s state in the Southeast region. The time has

695
00:45:21,199 –> 00:45:25,159
come for unity, vigilance and community driven action for a

696
00:45:25,239 –> 00:45:30,199
safer Anambra. An Amera’s State Association of Town Union HASATU

697
00:45:30,639 –> 00:45:34,639
Youth President Comrade Kennicoli, as well as an Ambras State

698
00:45:34,679 –> 00:45:39,679
Commissioner for Youth Development, Mister Patrick Akeamber were also at

699
00:45:39,719 –> 00:45:42,639
the event, with almost all the protesters dressed in black

700
00:45:42,719 –> 00:45:45,440
and black matched from a Roma junction in the state

701
00:45:45,559 –> 00:45:49,280
capitol to the Fish Magnet factory in Orca. The protest

702
00:45:49,400 –> 00:45:52,599
did not take place without an earlier warning issued against

703
00:45:52,639 –> 00:45:56,719
forredarkmen by the police. The Nigeria Police Force had in

704
00:45:56,800 –> 00:46:00,480
a statement said the Commissioner of Police an Anna State

705
00:46:00,519 –> 00:46:06,719
Command CP iqia Oratugu f wcmn IPSPHD has issued a

706
00:46:06,800 –> 00:46:12,280
stern warning two social media influencer mister Martin’s Vincent Dodds

707
00:46:12,320 –> 00:46:16,639
popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning him against making statements or

708
00:46:16,719 –> 00:46:20,679
taking actions capable of inciting tension or breaching public peace

709
00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:24,199
within the state. The CP noted the decision of the

710
00:46:24,280 –> 00:46:29,440
family of the late mister Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of

711
00:46:29,519 –> 00:46:34,000
Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly dissociate themselves from any proposed

712
00:46:34,119 –> 00:46:37,960
or ongoing candlelight procession or memorial gathering being organized in

713
00:46:38,039 –> 00:46:41,280
his name. They therefore pleaded that they should allow the

714
00:46:41,400 –> 00:46:44,760
family to grieve privately while trusting the authorities to do

715
00:46:44,880 –> 00:46:48,920
their work. The CP emphasized that an Amorous State remains

716
00:46:49,000 –> 00:46:51,159
one of the most peaceful in the region due to

717
00:46:51,280 –> 00:46:54,639
the sustained efforts of the police and other security agencies

718
00:46:55,079 –> 00:46:59,719
in collaboration with critical stakeholders. He stressed that no individual,

719
00:47:00,199 –> 00:47:03,599
regardless of social status, would be allowed to disrupt the

720
00:47:03,679 –> 00:47:07,760
existing peace and security architecture of the state. C p

721
00:47:08,039 –> 00:47:11,239
Or tougu urged residents and visitors alike to go about

722
00:47:11,320 –> 00:47:15,440
their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to

723
00:47:15,519 –> 00:47:20,079
maintaining law and order. He further advised social media uses

724
00:47:20,119 –> 00:47:24,079
and public figures to exercise restraint and avoid spreading misinformation

725
00:47:24,360 –> 00:47:28,559
or making inciting remarks. The Command further warns that any

726
00:47:28,599 –> 00:47:32,559
one found undermining public peace, either on line or offline,

727
00:47:32,920 –> 00:47:35,719
will face the full weight of the law. We had

728
00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:38,920
reported that the Inambor State government under the leadership of

729
00:47:39,000 –> 00:47:42,239
Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is

730
00:47:42,360 –> 00:47:44,800
currently in search of justice over the killing of a

731
00:47:44,880 –> 00:47:48,800
young and creative fish farmer, Martin’s of Fessenachi on Ye

732
00:47:48,880 –> 00:47:52,280
k c well known by his business name as Fish Magnet,

733
00:47:52,599 –> 00:47:55,840
who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped

734
00:47:55,920 –> 00:47:59,119
on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five

735
00:47:59,519 –> 00:48:03,079
at his residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca,

736
00:48:03,440 –> 00:48:08,079
the Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour

737
00:48:08,159 –> 00:48:11,719
Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state,

738
00:48:11,840 –> 00:48:15,000
said that Anambra State is no longer safe, adding that

739
00:48:15,440 –> 00:48:18,639
people are being killed, sorted for their families to bury

740
00:48:18,840 –> 00:48:23,280
in silence, while the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo

741
00:48:23,400 –> 00:48:28,599
luks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically,

742
00:48:29,079 –> 00:48:32,679
Mogalu said, I must speak frankly, an Amber is no

743
00:48:32,840 –> 00:48:36,440
longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people

744
00:48:36,519 –> 00:48:40,239
are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the

745
00:48:40,320 –> 00:48:43,760
government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it

746
00:48:43,880 –> 00:48:47,840
is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in

747
00:48:47,960 –> 00:48:52,039
a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area.

748
00:48:52,519 –> 00:48:55,760
Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a

749
00:48:55,880 –> 00:48:59,559
visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings

750
00:48:59,559 –> 00:49:03,920
and politic endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mongolu stated,

751
00:49:03,960 –> 00:49:07,440
while the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biaffra

752
00:49:07,519 –> 00:49:11,519
agitation leader, Barrister afany g four, said the people of

753
00:49:11,599 –> 00:49:15,639
the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and

754
00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:20,039
painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify

755
00:49:20,199 –> 00:49:23,920
the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening

756
00:49:24,039 –> 00:49:28,440
part the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers.

757
00:49:28,880 –> 00:49:31,920
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you

758
00:49:32,079 –> 00:49:35,519
embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of

759
00:49:35,840 –> 00:49:38,599
ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the

760
00:49:38,719 –> 00:49:43,159
real external aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come

761
00:49:43,239 –> 00:49:45,079
when we are weakest and most divided.

762
00:49:47,599 –> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 5: Affective NAPAs fish magnets, when atwas sense it is magn.

763
00:49:56,920 –> 00:50:01,559
Speaker 3: In thatta sense, it is tasslodord, cute fish markets.

764
00:50:04,480 –> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 5: This is person what I meant to do with a

Speaker 5: To have more policeman with more amia sauce mats that

774
00:50:48,119 –> 00:50:49,360
can protect everybody.

775
00:50:51,119 –> 00:50:56,079
Speaker 3: But for some reason these people don’t care your children

776
00:50:56,119 –> 00:50:59,159

00:51:25,719 –> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: Why because of God? Man don’t don’t. Yeah, they don’t care.

785
00:51:29,239 –> 00:51:32,119
Speaker 5: They only care about your podcast and your own family,

00:51:32,400 –> 00:51:33,519
your selfish in threat.

787
00:51:33,599 –> 00:51:36,599

837
00:55:41,440 –> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 7: Okay, thank you everyone that we are seeing today starting

838
00:55:46,480 –> 00:55:50,840
against fish magnet. But this is a collective way of

839
00:55:50,960 –> 00:55:53,719
Indian number or the use of a number standing with

840
00:55:53,800 –> 00:55:57,559
the security agencies to make sure that the killings and

841
00:55:57,679 –> 00:56:02,199
a number is reduced to the level and are ready

842
00:56:02,239 –> 00:56:07,800
to walk with the security to provide on issues that

843
00:56:07,880 –> 00:56:11,800
conscience security. What are I seeing today is just a

844
00:56:11,880 –> 00:56:15,039
replica a collective will of Indiana bra and to make

845
00:56:15,079 –> 00:56:16,840
sure that the security is very bust.

846
00:56:18,199 –> 00:56:24,599
Speaker 3: Thank you and now what we’re working then how we killed.

847

924
01:02:06,159 –> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Qui bini A Nambra State government under the leadership of

925
01:02:12,039 –> 01:02:15,239
Governor Charles Chukuma Sludo has said that the state is

926
01:02:15,320 –> 01:02:17,800
currently in search of justice over the killing of a

927
01:02:17,920 –> 01:02:22,119
young and creative fish farmer, Martin’s of fessinaci On y KC,

928
01:02:22,719 –> 01:02:25,719
well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who

929
01:02:25,840 –> 01:02:29,519
was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday,

930
01:02:29,599 –> 01:02:32,800
the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his

931
01:02:32,960 –> 01:02:36,519
residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno in Orca, the

932
01:02:36,679 –> 01:02:41,440
Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party

933
01:02:41,599 –> 01:02:45,039
candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said

934
01:02:45,079 –> 01:02:48,000
that a Nambra State is no longer safe, adding that

935
01:02:48,440 –> 01:02:51,599
people are being killed sloughted for their families to bury

936
01:02:51,800 –> 01:02:56,280
in silence. While the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo

937
01:02:56,400 –> 01:03:01,599
looks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visitor statement. Specifically,

938
01:03:02,079 –> 01:03:05,679
Mongolu said, I must speak frankly, an Amberor is no

939
01:03:05,840 –> 01:03:09,400
longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people

940
01:03:09,480 –> 01:03:13,199
are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the

941
01:03:13,280 –> 01:03:16,719
government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it

942
01:03:16,880 –> 01:03:20,800
is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in

943
01:03:20,920 –> 01:03:25,000
a ghastly accident at Amchi Noi South Local government area.

944
01:03:25,440 –> 01:03:28,719
Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a

945
01:03:28,800 –> 01:03:32,559
visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings

946
01:03:32,599 –> 01:03:36,880
and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mogolu stated,

947
01:03:36,920 –> 01:03:40,400
while the former lawyer to Namdi Carlu, the detained Biafra

948
01:03:40,480 –> 01:03:44,440
agitation leader, Barrister afangy g four, said the people of

949
01:03:44,519 –> 01:03:48,599
the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and

950
01:03:48,719 –> 01:03:53,000
painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify

951
01:03:53,159 –> 01:03:56,880
the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening

952
01:03:56,960 –> 01:04:01,400
part the reckless energy our own people expect defending these killers.

953
01:04:01,840 –> 01:04:04,880
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you

954
01:04:05,039 –> 01:04:09,599
emboldenham when you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride,

955
01:04:09,880 –> 01:04:12,440
you leave the gates wide open for the real external

956
01:04:12,519 –> 01:04:16,480
aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we

957
01:04:16,559 –> 01:04:20,320
are weakest and most divided. A Nambra’s State Commissioner for

958
01:04:20,440 –> 01:04:24,360
Information Law Mepher made the government position known on Sunday

959
01:04:24,440 –> 01:04:27,679
after he led other government officials on a condolence visit

960
01:04:27,800 –> 01:04:30,159
to the bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to

961
01:04:30,239 –> 01:04:33,320
be the woman leader of the Enambra’s State All Progressives

962
01:04:33,360 –> 01:04:38,079
Grand Alliance APGA missus ester on Ya KC. According to

963
01:04:38,159 –> 01:04:41,800

01:04:41,840 –> 01:04:45,880
the Enambra’s State All Progressives Grand Alliance, was abducted by

965

government and his residence in Zeniphied Community Opuno Orc, a

966
01:04:50,079 –> 01:04:53,599
South Local government area of Enamra State, in a late

01:04:53,719 –> 01:04:57,880
night attack on Saturday, July twenty sixth, and was subsequently killed.

968
01:04:58,599 –> 01:05:02,039
In a press statement release on Sunday, the State Commissioner

969
01:05:02,119 –> 01:05:07,039
for Information Law Mepha sympathized with the deceased’s family, assuring

970
01:05:07,079 –> 01:05:09,559
them that the state government is in search of justice

971
01:05:09,639 –> 01:05:14,199
while sustaining and strengthening security in the state. Mepher, who

972
01:05:14,320 –> 01:05:16,880
maintained that such a development is an affront to the

973
01:05:16,960 –> 01:05:22,280
Professor Chokuma Soludo Government’s new security architecture, also expressed delight

974
01:05:22,400 –> 01:05:24,840
that the police are on the heels of the perpetrators.

975
01:05:25,639 –> 01:05:28,440
The Commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he

976
01:05:28,559 –> 01:05:31,039
paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the

977
01:05:31,199 –> 01:05:35,559
Enambra’s State Apga ester On Yeakese. According to the statement,

978
01:05:36,400 –> 01:05:40,320
the statement read in part, the Enambra State Commissioner for Information,

979
01:05:40,880 –> 01:05:44,360
Doctor Law Mepher, recently paid a condolence visit to the

980
01:05:44,440 –> 01:05:48,239
woman leader of the Enambra State All Progressives Grand Alliance,

981
01:05:48,719 –> 01:05:52,840
Missus ester On Yeakese, whose only son, Martina fessenaci On

982
01:05:52,920 –> 01:05:56,440
yaks a prominent fish dealer in the state popularly known

983
01:05:56,519 –> 01:06:01,599
as Phish Magnet, was kidnapped and murdered recently in Enambre State. Meher,

984
01:06:02,000 –> 01:06:05,960
who described the fish dealer’s death as dastardly and heart wrenching,

985
01:06:06,360 –> 01:06:09,719
sympathized with the deceased mother, assuring her that the state

986
01:06:09,840 –> 01:06:12,920
government is with her in search of justice while sustaining

987
01:06:13,000 –> 01:06:17,039
and strengthening security in an Ambra State. He maintained that

988
01:06:17,159 –> 01:06:19,800
such a death is an affront to the Solution Government’s

989
01:06:19,920 –> 01:06:23,519
new security architecture and expressed happiness that the police are

990
01:06:23,559 –> 01:06:26,039
on the heels of the perpetrators and have issued a

991
01:06:26,159 –> 01:06:29,159
statement on the matter after recovering the vehicle in which

992
01:06:29,199 –> 01:06:32,320
they drove him away, adding that nobody can commit such

993
01:06:32,360 –> 01:06:35,159
a dastardly act in an Ambra’s state and get away

994
01:06:35,239 –> 01:06:38,960
with it. So may his sole rest in peace. We’ll

995
01:06:39,039 –> 01:06:42,320
fight and get him justice. The mother will get justice,

996
01:06:42,639 –> 01:06:46,000
the family will get justice, and an amoror will get justice.

997
01:06:46,800 –> 01:06:49,519
It’s a very painful loss for all of us and

998
01:06:49,639 –> 01:06:52,880
the government is always challenged when things like this happen

999
01:06:53,000 –> 01:06:56,039
because it’s an affront to the new security architecture put

1000
01:06:56,119 –> 01:07:00,639
in place by the Solution Government led by Professor Chukou Soludo.

1001
01:07:01,400 –> 01:07:05,519
The Commissioner said security in Anambra has significantly improved since

1002
01:07:05,599 –> 01:07:09,679
Soludo launched a new security architecture on February eighteenth, twenty

1003
01:07:09,800 –> 01:07:13,679
twenty five. He noted that troubled areas are now receiving

1004
01:07:13,840 –> 01:07:17,320
proper attention and that anyone causing unrest must now face

1005
01:07:17,400 –> 01:07:23,320
the government’s security outfits Hagenekembrand, Operation Ludo Garachi and whoever

1006
01:07:23,519 –> 01:07:26,760
is constituting a security challenge in Anambra now knows that

1007
01:07:26,840 –> 01:07:31,440
they have the government’s new security outfits hagenekembrand Operation Ludo

1008
01:07:31,519 –> 01:07:35,800
Garachi to contend with the statement read. Also on the

1009
01:07:35,880 –> 01:07:39,159
condolence visit along with the Commissioner was the Chairman of

1010
01:07:39,199 –> 01:07:44,440
the Noui South Local Government Area Van Georgia z e Oged. Meanwhile,

1011
01:07:44,800 –> 01:07:48,159
the Enambra State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force

1012
01:07:48,280 –> 01:07:52,000
had said adjoint security operatives recovered the victim’s vehicle which

1013
01:07:52,079 –> 01:07:55,679
the assailants used to escape the scene. In a statement,

1014
01:07:56,079 –> 01:07:59,960
the police said the Commissioner of Police CP ikiye or

1015
01:08:00,000 –> 01:08:07,280
Oatugu f w C MNIPS PhD has directed all tactical

1016
01:08:07,360 –> 01:08:10,639
and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down

1017
01:08:10,719 –> 01:08:14,199
the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing

1018
01:08:14,280 –> 01:08:19,039
of Mista A Fessenachi Homnukera, the managing director of Phish

1019
01:08:19,119 –> 01:08:21,840
Magnet Outlet, who was attacked in the evening of the

1020
01:08:21,960 –> 01:08:25,600
twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence

1021
01:08:25,680 –> 01:08:30,600
in Zini Fitte Village, Opuno, Orca. This directive follows the

1022
01:08:30,680 –> 01:08:34,359
recovery of the victim’s Navy blue Toyota Corolla along a

1023
01:08:34,439 –> 01:08:38,199
kulu Igarium road by the joint security team comprising of

1024
01:08:38,239 –> 01:08:43,000
a number of vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations

1025
01:08:43,079 –> 01:08:46,399
revealed that the assailants had trailed the victim before launching

1026
01:08:46,479 –> 01:08:49,520
the violent attack, during which the deceased was shot in

1027
01:08:49,600 –> 01:08:53,640
the leg and forcibly taken away. He was later found lifeless,

1028
01:08:54,119 –> 01:08:57,720
sparking public outrage and deep concern among residents of Orca.

1029
01:08:58,479 –> 01:09:01,800
The CPE, while condemning them killing, assured that the criminal

1030
01:09:01,880 –> 01:09:04,800
elements behind this cowardly act will be brought to book.

1031
01:09:05,560 –> 01:09:08,119
He further stated that the policeo is to the family,

1032
01:09:08,520 –> 01:09:11,119
the people of Nambra and the memory of the deceased

1033
01:09:11,159 –> 01:09:13,840
to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of

1034
01:09:13,920 –> 01:09:18,600
the law. Further developments would be communicated accordingly. S P.

01:09:24,000 –> 01:09:28,199
stated in a press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship

1037
01:09:28,279 –> 01:09:33,000
candidate doctor George Moglou said, my heart is heavy. I

1038
01:09:33,199 –> 01:09:36,840
received with deep sorrow the devastating news of the brutal

1039
01:09:36,920 –> 01:09:39,560
murder of mister Martin on Ye k C, the only

1040
01:09:39,680 –> 01:09:43,359
son of missus esther on Yea k C. The Enambro

1041
01:09:43,479 –> 01:09:46,920
state woman, leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

1042
01:09:47,720 –> 01:09:51,479
Martin was a promising young man, an industrious fish farmer

1043
01:09:51,560 –> 01:09:54,239
in his twenties, whose life was cut short in a

1044
01:09:54,319 –> 01:09:58,319
most cruel and senseless manner, abducted from his family home

1045
01:09:58,399 –> 01:10:01,319
in Orca, shot in the leg, egg and later found

1046
01:10:01,399 –> 01:10:04,520
dead despite ransom being paid. This is not just a

1047
01:10:04,600 –> 01:10:08,880
family’s tragedy. It is a painful reminder that our dear

1048
01:10:09,000 –> 01:10:12,159
state is in crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with

1049
01:10:12,279 –> 01:10:15,399
misses on ye Keesi and her entire family in this

1050
01:10:15,600 –> 01:10:19,159
moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should ever have to

1051
01:10:19,239 –> 01:10:24,319
bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances. I must

1052
01:10:24,359 –> 01:10:28,359
speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not even in

1053
01:10:28,439 –> 01:10:32,439
the state capital. Our people are being slorted, kidnapped and

1054
01:10:32,600 –> 01:10:35,439
buried in silence while the government looks the other way.

1055
01:10:36,319 –> 01:10:40,359
This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we

1056
01:10:40,520 –> 01:10:43,479
lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi

1057
01:10:43,960 –> 01:10:47,439
no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement,

1058
01:10:47,760 –> 01:10:52,359
no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead,

1059
01:10:52,760 –> 01:10:56,680
we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is

1060
01:10:56,720 –> 01:11:00,560
our conscience? This is not about political party. This is

1061
01:11:00,640 –> 01:11:04,159
about human life. This is about the safety of our people,

1062
01:11:04,560 –> 01:11:08,760
our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a father and

1063
01:11:08,800 –> 01:11:13,319
a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally. As a leader,

1064
01:11:13,680 –> 01:11:17,319
I cannot keep quiet. We must return empathy to governance.

1065
01:11:17,800 –> 01:11:21,520
We must put humanity before politics. The enamer of our

1066
01:11:21,640 –> 01:11:26,560
dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence and indifference. It

1067
01:11:26,720 –> 01:11:30,680
must be founded on compassion, courage and the result to act,

1068
01:11:31,199 –> 01:11:34,560
especially when it matters most. May the soul of young

1069
01:11:34,680 –> 01:11:37,520
Martin on ye k c find rest and may his

1070
01:11:37,680 –> 01:11:41,600
death not be in vain. Doctor George Mogulu, Labor Party

1071
01:11:41,720 –> 01:11:44,920
governorship candidate in a Nambra State, stated this on Friday

1072
01:11:45,000 –> 01:11:49,880
August first, twenty twenty five. Former lawyer to Namdicanu, the

1074
01:11:53,359 –> 01:11:57,159
O B. Barrister Aphani he Giophour, in a statement said

1075
01:11:57,600 –> 01:12:01,199
the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of Affair Tasinnachi on Yaqulu,

1076
01:12:01,520 –> 01:12:05,720
popularly known as Fish Magnet, in orca an Amber State,

1077
01:12:06,199 –> 01:12:09,159
is yet another chilling reminder that our homeland is bleeding

1078
01:12:09,479 –> 01:12:12,319
and we are running out of time to act. Just

1079
01:12:12,520 –> 01:12:16,399
last week, social medium was awash with heart wrenching reports

1080
01:12:16,439 –> 01:12:19,159
of how this promising young man was kidnapped in his

1081
01:12:19,319 –> 01:12:23,560
own home at zini Fite community of Puno Orcasouth local

1082
01:12:23,600 –> 01:12:27,680
government area during a late night invasion by gunman. He

1083
01:12:27,880 –> 01:12:31,760
was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an undisclosed

1084
01:12:31,840 –> 01:12:36,600
ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi, was

1085
01:12:36,680 –> 01:12:40,279
the only son of his family, one life brutally snuffed out,

1086
01:12:40,720 –> 01:12:44,640
a family shattered beyond repair, and a community thrown into mourning.

1087
01:12:45,399 –> 01:12:48,920
I condemn this dastardly act in the strongest possible terms.

1088
01:12:49,399 –> 01:12:52,399
I call on the Governor of an Ambra State, security

1089
01:12:52,479 –> 01:12:56,479
agencies and every community stakeholder to rise to the occasion,

1090
01:12:57,000 –> 01:13:00,600
not merely to issue statements, but to act decisively, hunt

1091
01:13:00,680 –> 01:13:04,560
down these murderers, bring them to justice, and urgently strengthen

1092
01:13:04,640 –> 01:13:08,760
the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed. But let us

1093
01:13:08,840 –> 01:13:12,479
not deceive ourselves. This is more than an isolated tragedy.

1094
01:13:13,239 –> 01:13:16,079
It is a symptom of a larger, deadlier disease that

1095
01:13:16,239 –> 01:13:19,239
is eating deep into the soul of ana Igbo a

1096
01:13:19,359 –> 01:13:23,760
disturbing trend where crime is romanticized, killers are shielded, and

1097
01:13:23,880 –> 01:13:28,319
absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media to justify barbarity.

1098
01:13:29,159 –> 01:13:34,319
Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly defend these murderers.

1099
01:13:35,119 –> 01:13:38,720
Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable claim that the

1100
01:13:38,760 –> 01:13:43,640
gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls in arndizroguwa Fulani

1101
01:13:43,720 –> 01:13:48,159
herdsman who must did Igbo language, What a tragic delusion?

1102
01:13:48,520 –> 01:13:51,560
Must death knock at your door before you accept reality?

1103
01:13:51,960 –> 01:13:55,239
And then there is the digital complicity, the growing chorus

1104
01:13:55,279 –> 01:13:58,319
of voices on line excusing or minimizing the blood bath

1105
01:13:58,439 –> 01:14:02,399
ravaging IMO’s State and other parts of the Southeast. Many

1106
01:14:02,520 –> 01:14:08,000
victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear, while some communities, particularly

1107
01:14:08,079 –> 01:14:11,439
in the Achigue axis, have literally been conquered by criminal

1108
01:14:11,560 –> 01:14:14,520
gangs who now dictate life and death within the domains.

1109
01:14:15,359 –> 01:14:19,359
The most frightening part the reckless energy our own people

1110
01:14:19,520 –> 01:14:23,399
expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they

1111
01:14:23,399 –> 01:14:27,920
are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings

1112
01:14:28,000 –> 01:14:31,199
under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates

1113
01:14:31,239 –> 01:14:34,760
wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman,

1114
01:14:35,079 –> 01:14:38,359
whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided.

1115
01:14:39,159 –> 01:14:42,800
Let this be crystal clear. Crime is crime, no matter

1116
01:14:42,880 –> 01:14:46,800
who commits it. A criminal is not a hero. Anyone

1117
01:14:46,920 –> 01:14:50,000
involved in these heinous acts must be decisively dealt with,

1118
01:14:50,479 –> 01:14:55,560
without ethnic excuses, without sympathy, and without protection under any guise.

1119
01:14:56,439 –> 01:14:59,960
To my dismay, only yesterday I saw a report papot

1120
01:15:00,079 –> 01:15:03,960
to be authored by alleged Umuaka community trying desperately to

1121
01:15:04,079 –> 01:15:07,119
downplay the scale of kidnappings and killings in their area.

1122
01:15:07,920 –> 01:15:10,800
I ask, what message are we sending to a people

1123
01:15:10,920 –> 01:15:14,000
who now live under siege, a community where fear is

1124
01:15:14,079 –> 01:15:18,000
the new normal. The hard truth is this security is

1125
01:15:18,079 –> 01:15:23,319
not the responsibility of government alone. It is a collective duty. Sadly,

1126
01:15:23,760 –> 01:15:28,239
the conventional security architecture appears to have abandoned hapless citizens

1127
01:15:28,279 –> 01:15:31,319
of imost state to their fate, either by wilful act

1128
01:15:31,399 –> 01:15:36,239
of dereliction of duty, compromise or collusion. But we as

1129
01:15:36,279 –> 01:15:40,960
a people cannot and must not abandon ourselves. This is

1130
01:15:41,039 –> 01:15:44,079
a wake up call. If we do not unite against

1131
01:15:44,159 –> 01:15:48,399
this evil now, it will consume us all tomorrow. It

1132
01:15:48,520 –> 01:15:52,279
could be your brother, your sister, your only son. The

1133
01:15:52,399 –> 01:15:56,720
time to act is now. Sir Feannyegio for Esquire stated

1134
01:15:56,800 –> 01:15:59,640
this on Saturday, August second, twenty twenty five.

1135
01:16:00,039 –> 01:16:04,319
Speaker 3: Mm cosas Y can’t.

1136
01:16:04,199 –> 01:16:08,359
Speaker 1: Leg bringing it you, the knees in the mortgagics outwere hours.

1137
01:16:08,479 –> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 3: As I can’t negate bringing it you, the knees in

1138
01:16:11,840 –> 01:16:13,000
the mortgagics outwere
