1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: There is still no peace in sight. After nearly three

2
00:00:03,080 –> 00:00:06,280
hours of meeting held in Anchorage City in Alaska, a

3
00:00:06,400 –> 00:00:11,080
state in the United States US between President Vladimir Putin

4
00:00:11,119 –> 00:00:14,279
of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States

5
00:00:14,679 –> 00:00:18,160
over the war Russia launched since twenty twenty two in Ukraine,

6
00:00:18,199 –> 00:00:21,920
which has led to thousands of deaths, mostly Ukrainians, which

7
00:00:22,320 –> 00:00:25,839
President Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, who was not invited for

8
00:00:25,920 –> 00:00:28,760
the meeting on Friday, in a statement, said that it

9
00:00:28,879 –> 00:00:31,199
was time to end the war, but Russia must take

10
00:00:31,239 –> 00:00:34,479
the necessary steps to a genuine peace steal And. While

11
00:00:34,520 –> 00:00:37,520
commenting on the statement made by the President of Poland

12
00:00:37,880 –> 00:00:41,640
Karl Navroky on Friday via x social media platform to

13
00:00:41,719 –> 00:00:45,200
mark Poland Armed Forces Day, which coincided with the day

14
00:00:45,280 –> 00:00:49,159
Putin and Trump met in Alaska, President Zelenski said that

15
00:00:49,719 –> 00:00:54,280
Ukraine’s independence strengthens Poland’s independence and we must always remember

16
00:00:54,320 –> 00:00:57,200
that the miracle on the Vistula was made possible through

17
00:00:57,359 –> 00:01:00,880
joint efforts and it saved Europe and The Polish President

18
00:01:01,200 –> 00:01:04,760
Karl Navoki had said that today we celebrate the one

19
00:01:04,840 –> 00:01:08,239
hundred fifth anniversary of the Great Polish victory at the

20
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:12,280
Battle of Warsaw in nineteen twenty, the Polish Army, together

21
00:01:12,359 –> 00:01:16,480
with Ukrainian forces, successfully repelled the Red Army’s westward march,

22
00:01:16,959 –> 00:01:21,799
safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For centuries, Russian imperialism

23
00:01:21,879 –> 00:01:25,439
has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland’s political

24
00:01:25,439 –> 00:01:29,599
tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of

25
00:01:29,680 –> 00:01:34,000
domestic despotism, in which the only freeman is the ruler himself.

26
00:01:34,239 –> 00:01:37,760
But precisely because Russian despotism is the enemy of freedom,

27
00:01:38,079 –> 00:01:41,719
Russian imperialism can only be defeated through an alliance of

28
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:46,920
free peoples. My nation halted Russian imperialism at Usha fifteen fourteen,

29
00:01:47,120 –> 00:01:52,079
Klashido one thousand, six hundred ten and Warsaw nineteen twenty.

30
00:01:52,840 –> 00:01:55,920
It was probably a sinnature of world attention when Air

31
00:01:55,959 –> 00:01:59,680
Force one and Russia presidential aircraft officially wheeled down a

32
00:01:59,760 –> 00:02:03,280
joint and bas Seldendorf as President Donald Trump and President

33
00:02:03,359 –> 00:02:06,319
Vladimir Putin met face to face for the first time

34
00:02:06,439 –> 00:02:09,919
since the war in Ukraine started on February twenty fourth,

35
00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:13,159
twenty twenty two, and the Friday meeting marked the first

36
00:02:13,199 –> 00:02:16,759
time President Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on western

37
00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:20,960
country soil since he launched the war against Ukraine. He

38
00:02:21,039 –> 00:02:23,800
was able to meet Trump in Alaska because the US

39
00:02:23,960 –> 00:02:26,919
is not a member country of the International Criminal Court

40
00:02:27,560 –> 00:02:30,360
Ices that issued a warrant of arrest against the Kremlin

41
00:02:30,439 –> 00:02:35,199
leader since twenty twenty three over alleged war crime in Ukraine.

42
00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:38,680
It would be recalled that the Russian President Vladimir Putin

43
00:02:38,759 –> 00:02:43,360
did not attend the twenty twenty five annual Brazil, Russia, India,

44
00:02:43,719 –> 00:02:47,240
China and South Africa Summit known as Bricks Summit in

45
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:50,879
Brazil due to concerns over an International Criminal Court warrant

46
00:02:50,919 –> 00:02:54,120
for his arrest in connection with alleged war crimes committed

47
00:02:54,159 –> 00:02:59,120
in Ukraine. According to the Kremlin aid Yuri Yashikov, President

48
00:02:59,199 –> 00:03:02,639
Vladimir Putin did not attend the summit due to certain

49
00:03:02,680 –> 00:03:07,560
difficulties in the context of the ICC requirement, adding in

50
00:03:07,599 –> 00:03:10,960
that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear

51
00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:15,400
position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting. Instead,

52
00:03:15,639 –> 00:03:18,800
the Russian leader joined his Bricks colleagues via video link.

53
00:03:19,520 –> 00:03:23,199
Futen was declared a war crimes suspect since the ICC

54
00:03:23,479 –> 00:03:26,439
named him in a March twenty twenty three arrest warrant

55
00:03:26,479 –> 00:03:31,240
over the mass deportation of Ukrainian children. Russia stands accused

56
00:03:31,240 –> 00:03:34,919
of abducting and deporting tens of thousands of Ukrainian children,

57
00:03:35,360 –> 00:03:39,599
with many victims reportedly subjected to ideological indoctrination to rob

58
00:03:39,639 –> 00:03:43,400
them of the Ukrainian heritage and impose a Russian national identity.

59
00:03:44,120 –> 00:03:48,479
The alleged mass abductions, according to observers, may qualify as

60
00:03:48,560 –> 00:03:53,560
genocide according to the nineteen forty eight United Nations Genocide Convention,

61
00:03:54,000 –> 00:03:58,199
which identifies forcibly transferring children of the group to another

62
00:03:58,240 –> 00:04:02,199
group as one of five internationally recognized acts of genocide.

63
00:04:02,879 –> 00:04:06,319
As a signatory too the Roman Statute that established the

64
00:04:06,639 –> 00:04:10,039
icc Brazil would have been obliged to arrest Putin if

65
00:04:10,080 –> 00:04:14,120
he entered the country. Addressing the ICCA warrant in twenty

66
00:04:14,199 –> 00:04:17,680
twenty three, Brazilian President Lewis In or cho Lula dar

67
00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:21,759
Silva initially dismissed talk of detaining the Russian president, before

68
00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:26,279
backtracking and distancing himself from the issue. If Kutin decides

69
00:04:26,319 –> 00:04:29,079
to go to Brazil, it’s the justice system that will

70
00:04:29,079 –> 00:04:31,959
take the decision over whether he should be arrested, not

71
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:37,079
the government or Congress. Lula stated. Kutin faced similar uncertainty

72
00:04:37,120 –> 00:04:40,480
two years ago ahead of the annual gathering of Bricks Leaders,

73
00:04:40,839 –> 00:04:44,480
which was then being hosted by South Africa. The South

74
00:04:44,519 –> 00:04:48,759
African authorities reportedly came under considerable pressure from their Russian

75
00:04:48,800 –> 00:04:52,519
colleagues to provide assurances that the Kremlin dictator could travel

76
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:56,120
to the August twenty twenty three event without fear of arrest.

77
00:04:56,920 –> 00:04:59,920
Russia has made it clear that arresting its sitting president

78
00:05:00,079 –> 00:05:03,639
would be a declaration of war. South African President Cyril

79
00:05:03,720 –> 00:05:06,360
Ramaphosis stated then in the build up to the summit,

80
00:05:07,120 –> 00:05:10,839
the African country was ultimately unable to offer any guarantees,

81
00:05:11,360 –> 00:05:14,399
forcing Putin to abandon his plans to attend the summit

82
00:05:14,480 –> 00:05:18,560
in South Africa. Fox News reported that the Russian President

83
00:05:18,959 –> 00:05:22,240
Vladimir Putin makes a rare public appearance of the monument

84
00:05:22,319 –> 00:05:26,839
honoring US cooperation during World War II just hours before

85
00:05:26,879 –> 00:05:30,519
his summit with President Trump on Friday, and after the

86
00:05:30,560 –> 00:05:34,199
summit in Alaska, local media showed a video of President

87
00:05:34,240 –> 00:05:38,360
Putin kneeling at every Soviet pilot grave in Alaska as

88
00:05:38,399 –> 00:05:41,319
both leaders met on the tarmac of the US military

89
00:05:41,360 –> 00:05:45,560
base airport. A flyover of American military planes passed overhead,

90
00:05:45,879 –> 00:05:48,480
including fighter jets and what appeared to be a B

91
00:05:48,639 –> 00:05:53,319
two stealth bomber. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir

92
00:05:53,399 –> 00:05:56,079
Putin emerged from a nearly three hour meeting on the

93
00:05:56,199 –> 00:06:00,079
Ukraine War and gave public statements, but left without announcing

94
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:02,879
any agreement or cease fire, and they refused to take

95
00:06:03,000 –> 00:06:07,199
questions from the press. US fighter jets were seen escorting

96
00:06:07,279 –> 00:06:11,040
Vladimir Putin’s plane out of Alaska after the summit with Trump.

97
00:06:11,720 –> 00:06:14,959
The Kremlin posted a video on Telegram appearing to show

98
00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,319
at least two USF twenty two fighter jets escorting the

99
00:06:18,399 –> 00:06:22,480
Russian president’s plane out of Alaska following talks with Donald Trump.

100
00:06:23,199 –> 00:06:26,600
There’s no deal until there’s a deal, Trump said. The

101
00:06:26,639 –> 00:06:29,360
White House had said there would be a news conference

102
00:06:29,480 –> 00:06:32,480
after the closed door meeting, but both men walked off

103
00:06:32,519 –> 00:06:36,759
stage without taking any questions. Trump hosted the summit at

104
00:06:36,759 –> 00:06:39,519
a military base in Alaska in an audacious bid to

105
00:06:39,560 –> 00:06:41,839
brok her a peace deal and stop a three year

106
00:06:41,920 –> 00:06:45,519
war with Ukraine and its ever rising body count. It

107
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:48,800
was not immediately clear what was agreed upon in the talks.

108
00:06:49,639 –> 00:06:52,519
We didn’t get there, but we have a very good

109
00:06:52,680 –> 00:06:56,959
chance of getting there, Trump said. President Donald Trump added

110
00:06:57,040 –> 00:07:00,240
va a post that a great and very successful day

111
00:07:00,279 –> 00:07:03,160
in Alaska. It was determined by all that the best

112
00:07:03,199 –> 00:07:06,199
way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine

113
00:07:06,279 –> 00:07:09,839
is to go directly to a peace agreement. President Zelenski

114
00:07:09,879 –> 00:07:13,560
will be coming to d C the Oval Office on Monday.

115
00:07:14,319 –> 00:07:16,839
While President Putin and Trump were on the way to

116
00:07:16,839 –> 00:07:20,519
meet in Alaska, Voladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, in a number

117
00:07:20,519 –> 00:07:24,639
of press statements made available via his verified ex social

118
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,439
media account, said he held a staff meeting to discuss

119
00:07:28,519 –> 00:07:33,399
three key issues the front, particularly the Pokrosk sector. We

120
00:07:33,480 –> 00:07:36,279
are countering the attempts of Russian forces to gain a

121
00:07:36,319 –> 00:07:39,759
foothold and increasing the pressure of our units on the occupier.

122
00:07:40,560 –> 00:07:43,839
We are succeeding. Units of the seventy ninth and eighty

123
00:07:43,920 –> 00:07:47,360
second Air Assault Brigades are operating very effectively in the

124
00:07:47,399 –> 00:07:52,240
Domropilia area. Today, a decision was made to further reinforce

125
00:07:52,319 –> 00:07:56,279
this and other areas in the Danyesk region. Special attention

126
00:07:56,519 –> 00:07:59,839
was paid to positions in the Zaporigia region. I thank

127
00:08:00,040 –> 00:08:04,519
all our warriors for their resilience. The Russian Army continues

128
00:08:04,560 –> 00:08:07,680
to suffer significant losses in its attempts to secure more

129
00:08:07,720 –> 00:08:11,240
favorable political positions for the Russian leadership at the meeting

130
00:08:11,279 –> 00:08:15,199
in Alaska. We understand this plan and are informing our

131
00:08:15,279 –> 00:08:19,439
partners about the real situation. We also discuss today the

132
00:08:19,519 –> 00:08:22,759
development of the contract system in the defense forces and

133
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:26,240
the funding of Ukraine’s defense and security forces for twenty

134
00:08:26,319 –> 00:08:31,639
twenty five twenty twenty six. Under any circumstances, our army

135
00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:34,720
will be ready to respond effectively and swiftly to threats

136
00:08:34,720 –> 00:08:38,759
to Ukrainian statehood. The priority is the development of a

137
00:08:38,799 –> 00:08:43,000
contract army. Today, I also expect a report from our

138
00:08:43,039 –> 00:08:46,200
intelligence on the current intentions of the Russian side and

139
00:08:46,240 –> 00:08:50,919
its preparations for the meeting in Alaska. Indeed high stakes.

140
00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:53,480
The key thing is that this meeting should open up

141
00:08:53,480 –> 00:08:56,480
a real path toward a just peace and the substantive

142
00:08:56,559 –> 00:09:00,799
discussion between leaders in a trilateral format US Ukraine, the

143
00:09:00,919 –> 00:09:04,639
United States and the Russian side. It is time to

144
00:09:04,759 –> 00:09:07,840
end the war and the necessary steps must be taken

145
00:09:07,879 –> 00:09:11,600
by Russia. We are counting on America. We are ready

146
00:09:11,879 –> 00:09:15,879
as always to work as productively as possible. I held

147
00:09:15,919 –> 00:09:18,960
a meeting with the government team, the Office and the

148
00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:22,519
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council to discuss

149
00:09:22,600 –> 00:09:27,759
our diplomatic work the highest priority areas. In particular, we

150
00:09:27,840 –> 00:09:32,039
address the funding of Ukraine’s defense forces, auditing the effectiveness

151
00:09:32,039 –> 00:09:36,240
of coalitions with partners, special formats, the substance of our

152
00:09:36,279 –> 00:09:39,840
bilateral relations in key global areas, and our work at

153
00:09:39,879 –> 00:09:43,679
the EU level. I instructed that the foreign policy plan

154
00:09:43,840 –> 00:09:46,159
be updated for the period through the end of the

155
00:09:46,279 –> 00:09:50,279
year on Monday. I expect the updated plan to be

156
00:09:50,320 –> 00:09:54,039
presented with a neighbour like Russia. Only the co operation

157
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:57,840
of free nations can effectively protect each of them. We

158
00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:03,799
value Poland’s support for Ukraine. Ukraine’s independence strengthens Poland’s independence,

159
00:10:04,240 –> 00:10:06,679
and we must always remember that the Miracle on the

160
00:10:06,759 –> 00:10:10,960
Vistula was made possible through joint efforts and it saved Europe.

161
00:10:11,480 –> 00:10:14,919
In the same way, Ukrainians have been defending our state

162
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:18,639
in the full scale war for four years by repelling

163
00:10:18,679 –> 00:10:23,200
the Russian army in Ukraine, Nakiv, in the Sumi, Kharkiv

164
00:10:23,440 –> 00:10:26,360
and Darniesk regions, as well as in the Black Sea.

165
00:10:26,879 –> 00:10:30,480
Ukrainians are truly ensuring the opportunity for all Europeans to

166
00:10:30,519 –> 00:10:34,720
live freely, free of Moscow’s madness. I thank Poland for

167
00:10:34,840 –> 00:10:39,399
walking along this path shoulder to shoulder with us. Congratulations

168
00:10:39,399 –> 00:10:42,440
on Polish Armed Forces Day, and best wishes for our

169
00:10:42,480 –> 00:10:47,200
and your independence to always remain strong. President Karol Navroki

170
00:10:47,279 –> 00:10:50,440
of Poland had said that today we celebrate the one

171
00:10:50,519 –> 00:10:53,600
hundred and fifth anniversary of the Great Polish victory. At

172
00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:57,679
the Battle of Warsaw in nineteen twenty, the Polish Army,

173
00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:02,799
together with Ukrainian forces, successfully repelled the Red Armies westward March,

174
00:11:03,200 –> 00:11:08,759
safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For centuries, Russian imperialism

175
00:11:08,879 –> 00:11:12,639
has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland’s political

176
00:11:12,679 –> 00:11:16,360
tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of

177
00:11:16,399 –> 00:11:19,600
domestic despotism, in which the only free man is the

178
00:11:19,679 –> 00:11:24,240
ruler himself. But precisely because Russian despotism is the enemy

179
00:11:24,279 –> 00:11:27,840
of freedom, Russian imperialism can only be defeated through an

180
00:11:27,879 –> 00:11:32,480
alliance of free peoples. My nation halted Russian imperialism at

181
00:11:32,559 –> 00:11:37,919
Warsha fifteen fourteen, Klashino one thousand, six hundred ten and

182
00:11:38,039 –> 00:11:42,639
Warsaw nineteen twenty. The Polish people know that resisting Russian

183
00:11:42,679 –> 00:11:46,519
imperialism is not merely an economic matter. It concerns the

184
00:11:46,639 –> 00:11:50,960
very essence of human and national freedom. Freedom is priceless.

185
00:11:51,200 –> 00:11:54,679
It can neither be bought nor sold. It must be defended.

186
00:11:54,960 –> 00:11:58,960
This is the Polish tradition, stretching back to the fifteenth century.

187
00:12:00,080 –> 00:12:02,799
Light all who cherish freedom and peace to join my

188
00:12:02,960 –> 00:12:06,440
fellow polls on August fifteenth in celebrating the halting of

189
00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:28,919
despotism and the defense of liberty. WI co contestants in

the last concluded general elections in Nigeria and former Governor

191
00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:36,759
of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has faulted President Bola Ahmed

192
00:12:36,799 –> 00:12:40,360
Tenubu trip to Brazil and also condemned the president frequent

193
00:12:40,480 –> 00:12:44,799
travel abroad at any slightest invitation and abandoned pressing issues

194
00:12:44,840 –> 00:12:50,000
of insecurity and other deplorable situations that make the nation bleeds. Specifically,

195
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:53,919
Peter Obi said, the situation we find ourselves in is

196
00:12:54,000 –> 00:12:57,639
deeply worrisome. Our president, who has not found it worthy

197
00:12:57,720 –> 00:13:00,799
to visit any of our troubled states, takes joy in

198
00:13:00,879 –> 00:13:04,600
traveling to foreign countries at the slightest invitation or excuse,

199
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:08,840
often departing several days even before the events he’s invited to.

200
00:13:09,639 –> 00:13:12,600
The Presidency had in a statement on Wednesday, said that

201
00:13:12,919 –> 00:13:17,200
President Bola Tanubu will depart Abuja on Thursday, August fourteenth

202
00:13:17,519 –> 00:13:20,720
for a two nation trip to Japan and Brazil. The

209
00:13:48,440 –> 00:13:52,679
the business environment and institutions through private investment and innovation.

210
00:13:53,559 –> 00:13:57,360
It will also promote a resilient and sustainable African society

211
00:13:57,480 –> 00:14:02,399
for human security, peace and STAB. In addition to attending

212
00:14:02,440 –> 00:14:06,399
cleanery sessions on themes linked to the conference, the Nigerian

213
00:14:06,440 –> 00:14:09,320
President will hold by lateral meetings and meet the chief

214
00:14:09,360 –> 00:14:13,679
executive offices of some Japanese companies with investments in Nigeria.

215
00:14:14,399 –> 00:14:18,000
Initiated in nineteen ninety three by the Japanese government and

216
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:23,440
co hosted by the United Nations UNDP, the African Union Commission,

217
00:14:23,639 –> 00:14:27,720
and the World Bank. TICAD is a triennial conference held

218
00:14:27,759 –> 00:14:31,720
alternately in Japan and Africa. The last one took place

219
00:14:31,759 –> 00:14:36,039
in August twenty twenty two in Tunisia. The forum fosters

220
00:14:36,120 –> 00:14:40,320
high level policy dialogue between African leaders and development partners.

221
00:14:41,080 –> 00:14:45,200
At the end of the TICAD nine, President Tanubu will

222
00:14:45,279 –> 00:14:48,919
leave for Brazilia, the capital of the Federated Republic of Brazil,

223
00:14:49,320 –> 00:14:52,360
on a two day state visit from Sunday, August twenty

224
00:14:52,399 –> 00:14:56,919
fourth to Monday August twenty fifth. This follows an invitation

225
00:14:57,120 –> 00:15:00,879
by the Brazilian President Luis Aetio lu La da Silva.

226
00:15:01,600 –> 00:15:05,440
While in Brazil, President Danubu will hold a bilateral meeting

00:15:05,519 –> 00:15:08,960
with his host and attender business forum with Brazilian investors.

228
00:15:09,759 –> 00:15:14,799
His delegation, comprising key ministers and senior officials, will explore

229
00:15:14,799 –> 00:15:19,080
opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign agreements and memoranda of

230
00:15:19,200 –> 00:15:24,200
understanding maus with the Brazilian government. Bao on Anuga, special

231
00:15:24,240 –> 00:15:27,440
Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, stated on

232
00:15:27,519 –> 00:15:32,360
August thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Peter Hoby, the Labor Party

233
00:15:32,399 –> 00:15:36,120
presidential candidate in the last concluded general elections in the

234
00:15:36,159 –> 00:15:40,240
West Africa country, in a statement on Thursday, said again,

235
00:15:40,320 –> 00:15:44,440
our president moves as the nation bleeds amid the deplorable

236
00:15:44,480 –> 00:15:47,679
state of our nation in all ramifications. We have a

237
00:15:47,759 –> 00:15:51,879
virtually indifferent president who has continued to display insensitivity to

238
00:15:51,960 –> 00:15:55,919
our situation. How can anyone explain that a president who

239
00:15:56,000 –> 00:15:58,840
came from Brazil recently and met with the President is

240
00:15:58,919 –> 00:16:02,320
returning to the same country, leaving the various degrees of

241
00:16:02,399 –> 00:16:06,600
challenges at home unresolved. The latest itinery of the president

242
00:16:06,759 –> 00:16:10,679
shows he will depart Abouja on Thursday, August fourteenth for

243
00:16:10,759 –> 00:16:14,320
a two nation trip to Japan and Brazil. The President

244
00:16:14,399 –> 00:16:18,799
will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates before proceeding

245
00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:23,279
to Japan. In Japan, President Danubu will attend the ninth

246
00:16:23,360 –> 00:16:28,799
Tokyo International Conference on African Development TICAD nine in the

247
00:16:28,840 –> 00:16:32,600
city of Yokohama from August twentieth to twenty two. The

248
00:16:32,679 –> 00:16:35,720
itinery is silent on the president’s return date to his

249
00:16:35,840 –> 00:16:40,360
visibly troubled nation. The situation we find ourselves in is

250
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:44,679
deeply worrisome. Our President, who has not found it worthy

251
00:16:44,720 –> 00:16:47,759
to visit any of our troubled states, takes joy in

252
00:16:47,840 –> 00:16:52,639
traveling to foreign countries at the slightest invitationer excuse, often

253
00:16:52,679 –> 00:16:56,279
departing several days even before the events he’s invited to.

254
00:16:56,720 –> 00:16:59,600
In his last trip, for instance, he had a one

255
00:16:59,639 –> 00:17:02,600
week six state visit to Saint Lucio before attending the

256
00:17:02,639 –> 00:17:06,279
Brick’s Summit, where Nigeria was merely invited as an observer,

257
00:17:06,720 –> 00:17:09,880
though the role was dressed up as partner to the invitation,

258
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:14,559
which was more significant. The leaders of actual member countries

259
00:17:14,599 –> 00:17:17,359
who attended only arrived a day or two at most

260
00:17:17,359 –> 00:17:23,359
for the event. Nigeria’s insecurity situation, economic hardship, and human

261
00:17:23,480 –> 00:17:27,039
suffering have reached their peak. We are now counted among

262
00:17:27,119 –> 00:17:31,039
the most insecure nations, the most fragile economies, and the

263
00:17:31,119 –> 00:17:35,400
hungriest countries in the world. This dire reality demands the

264
00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:39,160
full attention of mister President, and his travels should be

265
00:17:39,160 –> 00:17:42,960
more within our troubled states and communities, spending time on

266
00:17:43,000 –> 00:17:47,119
the ground and taking decisive action to alleviate the people’s suffering,

267
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:50,640
rather than these overseas conferences that contribute little or no

268
00:17:50,799 –> 00:17:54,559
tangible value to our nation’s woes, and where the trip

269
00:17:54,640 –> 00:17:57,359
is necessary at all, it could be attended in just

270
00:17:57,440 –> 00:18:01,640
a few days, rather than indulging in prolonged, unnecessary absences

271
00:18:01,680 –> 00:18:05,640
from a country that requires twenty four seven attention. What

272
00:18:05,720 –> 00:18:09,119
our nation needs now is security of lives and properties,

273
00:18:09,480 –> 00:18:12,680
economic stability, and ensuring that our people have food on

274
00:18:12,799 –> 00:18:17,079
their table. Our presidents plan trip of twelve days departing

275
00:18:17,119 –> 00:18:20,079
to day if necessary, should have been at most of

276
00:18:20,160 –> 00:18:22,519
five day trip as the event he was invited to

277
00:18:22,599 –> 00:18:26,960
in Japan commences on the twentieth. Nigeria to Day demands

278
00:18:27,039 –> 00:18:30,640
competent leadership with capacity and compassion to start dealing with

279
00:18:30,680 –> 00:18:34,200
the problems besetting it with the presence and sacrifice required.

280
00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:39,480
Mister President must, as a matter of urgency, commence towards

281
00:18:39,519 –> 00:18:42,279
of our states with the same enthusiasm he shows for

282
00:18:42,359 –> 00:18:45,880
jetting out of the country every month. These visits will

283
00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:48,880
enable him to see, listen, and learn more about what

284
00:18:49,039 –> 00:18:53,319
Nigerians are going through. Though Nigerians know that our huge

285
00:18:53,319 –> 00:18:56,759
problems cannot be solved overnight, they want to see one

286
00:18:56,839 –> 00:19:01,720
hundred percent effort and tireless commitment to solving them. Most importantly,

287
00:19:02,119 –> 00:19:04,839
our President must know that he’s not a tourist but

288
00:19:04,920 –> 00:19:07,720
the chief executive of a troubled nation, so he must

289
00:19:07,799 –> 00:19:11,799
have consciousness, strict work schedules and a strict traveling schedule

290
00:19:11,839 –> 00:19:15,000
to show that he has a troubled country to quickly return.

291
00:19:14,759 –> 00:19:20,839
Speaker 2: To Gingi Ingim.

292
00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola

293
00:19:26,039 –> 00:19:29,440
Ahmed Tenubu, has ordered the Commissioner of Police in charge

294
00:19:29,480 –> 00:19:32,759
of Lagos Airport to withdraw the one sided and obviously

295
00:19:32,799 –> 00:19:36,160
biased court case the Nigeria Police Force may have wrongly

296
00:19:36,200 –> 00:19:40,440
instituted against a Nibom air passenger, Comfort Emanson, who was

297
00:19:40,480 –> 00:19:44,960
seen in viral videos retaliating and defending herself physically after

298
00:19:45,000 –> 00:19:48,359
a group of Ibam air personnel and Lagos Airport team

299
00:19:48,480 –> 00:19:51,440
had attacked her and provoked her to action. The FG

300
00:19:51,599 –> 00:19:54,759
position on the issue was made known by the Nigeria

301
00:19:54,880 –> 00:19:58,880
Minister of Aviation, Festus Kamo in a press release the

302
00:19:58,920 –> 00:20:03,119
Minister signed and made available few minutes ago. Although Festus

303
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:06,359
Kmo reversed his self and acknowledged that the issue was

304
00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:09,880
a case of confrontation between the twenty six years old

305
00:20:10,000 –> 00:20:13,000
passenger and the staff of Ibom Airlines, who in The

306
00:20:13,079 –> 00:20:16,079
new press release admitted that the staff of Ibom Air

307
00:20:16,119 –> 00:20:20,359
and the Lagos Airport Authority team acted wrongly, but the

308
00:20:20,440 –> 00:20:24,039
minister did not state how the attacked passenger would be compensated,

309
00:20:24,119 –> 00:20:27,720
most especially when her chest sexual organs were seemed to

310
00:20:27,759 –> 00:20:32,160
be deliberately exposed after a suspected Ibom Airline staff pulled

311
00:20:32,200 –> 00:20:35,319
off and tore the passenger shirt with obvious intention to

312
00:20:35,400 –> 00:20:39,279
expose the passenger’s nakedness. The action of the Federal government

313
00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:42,359
may ease the tension among millions of people who have

314
00:20:42,480 –> 00:20:45,759
accused the Nigeria Police Force our aiding and a vetting

315
00:20:45,839 –> 00:20:49,279
the Ibom Airline company to continue to attack and oppress

316
00:20:49,359 –> 00:20:53,559
the offended passenger, Comfort Bomb who is also identified as

317
00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:58,119
Comfort Emanson, by thus supporting the statement of Ibom Air management,

318
00:20:58,200 –> 00:21:01,240
who in their first press relief diast made statement that

319
00:21:01,359 –> 00:21:04,559
seems to have some level of deliberate falsehood and raising

320
00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:08,400
up a dead issue to win undue public sentiments manipulate

321
00:21:08,440 –> 00:21:12,279
the Nigeria Police forced to help them secure detention holding

322
00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:16,000
charge from the Lagos State Magistrate caught to further oppress

323
00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:20,240
and intimidate the attacked passenger. Specifically, Ibom Air stated in

324
00:21:20,279 –> 00:21:23,640
her first press released that shortly after the plane landed

325
00:21:23,680 –> 00:21:27,359
at Lagos Airport, the passenger waited for every other passenger

326
00:21:27,440 –> 00:21:31,200
on board the plane to disembark, and thereafter, without provocation,

327
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:34,799
went to one of the plane hostesses, Juliana Edward. The

328
00:21:34,880 –> 00:21:39,640
IBOM Air management described as purser, stepped on her forcibly,

329
00:21:39,680 –> 00:21:42,480
tore off her wig, removed her glasses and threw it

330
00:21:42,519 –> 00:21:45,240
to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her.

331
00:21:45,720 –> 00:21:48,599
She slapped her several times, and when the other cabin

332
00:21:48,720 –> 00:21:52,359
crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She

333
00:21:52,480 –> 00:21:55,920
then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use

334
00:21:55,960 –> 00:21:58,400
as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and

335
00:21:58,480 –> 00:22:02,319
grounded the aircraft. Soon after the IBOM Air management released

336
00:22:02,400 –> 00:22:05,960
the statement on Monday, her video surfaced on the Internet

337
00:22:06,000 –> 00:22:09,720
that probably invalidated the statement of the IBOM Air management

338
00:22:09,799 –> 00:22:12,759
and stood out as an acceptable evidence that the management

339
00:22:12,799 –> 00:22:16,000
of IBOMB eer people who may be rightly described as

340
00:22:16,079 –> 00:22:19,880
pathological liars who probably believed in telling lies as a

341
00:22:19,920 –> 00:22:24,279
way of managing crisis and handling difficult customers relations, has

342
00:22:24,279 –> 00:22:27,279
seen in the viral video that surfaced the internet after

343
00:22:27,359 –> 00:22:31,319
the apparent falsehood of Ibom Air Management. The attacked passenger

344
00:22:31,440 –> 00:22:35,160
was seen politely telling the air hostess Juliana Edward to

345
00:22:35,240 –> 00:22:38,039
leave the doorway so that she can disembark from the plane.

346
00:22:38,359 –> 00:22:42,160
The senior aggressor in this matter, the air Hostess Juliana Edward,

347
00:22:42,200 –> 00:22:45,039
refused to yield to the appeal of the passenger, and

348
00:22:45,119 –> 00:22:48,559
IBOM Air Management in their first press release, confirmed that

349
00:22:48,640 –> 00:22:52,480
the air hostess Juliana Edward deliberately blocked the doorway to

350
00:22:52,559 –> 00:22:55,920
prevent the passenger from disembarking the aircraft, and in the

351
00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:58,839
viral video, the attached wighair on the head of the

352
00:22:58,880 –> 00:23:01,440
air hostess was still seen on her head and intact

353
00:23:01,480 –> 00:23:04,160
while the passenger was telling her to leave the doorway

354
00:23:04,200 –> 00:23:08,519
so that she can pass. Obviously, this is in contrary

355
00:23:08,519 –> 00:23:11,640
to the seemly deliberate falsehood painted and stated in black

356
00:23:11,680 –> 00:23:14,039
and white by the Ibom Air management that the air

357
00:23:14,079 –> 00:23:19,039
hostess attached wig hair was destroyed by the passenger without provocation. Also,

358
00:23:19,559 –> 00:23:21,920
the attached wig hair on the passenger head and the

359
00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:24,680
jacket she was putting on were still intact as at

360
00:23:24,680 –> 00:23:27,839
the time she was telling the apparent aggressor the air

361
00:23:27,880 –> 00:23:31,160
hostess to leave the door and another viral video later

362
00:23:31,279 –> 00:23:34,319
showed both the air hostess and the passenger dragging at

363
00:23:34,319 –> 00:23:37,319
the point of the plane divider cotton and at this time,

364
00:23:37,359 –> 00:23:40,200
as seen in the video, both the passenger and air

365
00:23:40,240 –> 00:23:43,519
hostess wig hair were pulled off, including the passenger jacket

366
00:23:43,599 –> 00:23:46,359
she was putting on to cover her body completely. The

367
00:23:46,440 –> 00:23:49,000
natural hair on their heads could now be seen as

368
00:23:49,039 –> 00:23:51,759
they continued to drag each other at the plane doorway,

369
00:23:52,039 –> 00:23:55,519
and IBOM Air management, in trying to seemly win undue

370
00:23:55,559 –> 00:23:58,640
public sentiments, raised up a dead issue of a minor

371
00:23:58,720 –> 00:24:01,599
quarrel the passenger had with the air hostess and co

372
00:24:01,720 –> 00:24:05,720
passenger over the passenger alleged initial refusal to switch off

373
00:24:05,759 –> 00:24:08,599
her phone during the plane take off at Uyo Airport.

374
00:24:08,920 –> 00:24:11,920
The IBOM Air management in the press release confirmed that

375
00:24:11,960 –> 00:24:15,000
the minor quarrel the passenger had with the air hostess

376
00:24:15,039 –> 00:24:18,759
and co passenger over switching off phone at Uyo Airport

377
00:24:18,920 –> 00:24:21,079
was already a dead issue and the action of the

378
00:24:21,079 –> 00:24:24,759
passenger never led to threat of aviation safety or violation

379
00:24:24,920 –> 00:24:28,519
of aviation safety procedures. Hence, the passenger was not the

380
00:24:28,559 –> 00:24:31,400
plane at Uyo Airport, but we don’t know why the

381
00:24:31,440 –> 00:24:34,880
management of Ibom Air decided to advertise and bring up

382
00:24:34,920 –> 00:24:37,759
the minor quarrel as a way to seemly win public

383
00:24:37,880 –> 00:24:40,799
sentiments to cover up the true picture of a separate

384
00:24:40,839 –> 00:24:44,039
event that occurred between the passenger and the air hostess

385
00:24:44,119 –> 00:24:47,720
when the plane landed at Lagos Airport, and the Nigeria

386
00:24:47,759 –> 00:24:50,920
Police Force in the five count charges filed against the

387
00:24:50,960 –> 00:24:54,839
passenger at the Akeja Magistrate Court in Lagos State, did

388
00:24:54,880 –> 00:24:57,559
not state or even mention the event that occurred at

389
00:24:57,640 –> 00:25:02,079
Uyo Airport before the plane took off. Announcing them withdrawal

390
00:25:02,160 –> 00:25:06,839
day early morning, the Nigeria Minister of Aviation, Festus Kmo

391
00:25:06,960 –> 00:25:10,640
said and in quotes that one in the last forty

392
00:25:10,640 –> 00:25:14,559
eight hours, I have been in consultation with critical stakeholders

393
00:25:14,559 –> 00:25:17,720
in the aviation sector and those involved in the unfortunate

394
00:25:17,759 –> 00:25:21,799
incidents regarding the unruly behaviors of certain individuals at our

395
00:25:21,880 –> 00:25:27,160
airports of recent two. Though regrettable, we think valuable lessons

396
00:25:27,240 –> 00:25:29,880
have been learned by all sides to these incidents, and

397
00:25:29,960 –> 00:25:34,440
airport security protocol especially have been well highlighted for the

398
00:25:34,480 –> 00:25:39,079
traveling public. If nothing at all, the episodes have undoubtedly

399
00:25:39,160 –> 00:25:42,599
helped to raise public awareness about appropriate conduct within the

400
00:25:42,680 –> 00:25:47,680
aviation space. Three. As highlighted in my previous statements on

401
00:25:47,759 –> 00:25:51,079
the last two incidents, clear wrongs were committed by both

402
00:25:51,119 –> 00:25:54,480
the offending passengers and staff of the airlines involved. From

403
00:25:54,559 –> 00:25:57,400
all the evidence available to us in those available to

404
00:25:57,480 –> 00:26:00,880
the public, it is clear that all the actors involved

405
00:26:00,880 –> 00:26:04,240
cannot continue to highlight the injury or injustice done to

406
00:26:04,279 –> 00:26:09,799
them without acknowledging their own equal culpability. Five. Therefore, after

407
00:26:09,839 –> 00:26:13,880
reviewing the entire incidents, including appeals made by well meaning

408
00:26:13,960 –> 00:26:17,920
individuals and remorse shown by the actors, the following decisions

409
00:26:17,960 –> 00:26:21,359
have been reached. A. In the case of the unruly

410
00:26:21,400 –> 00:26:25,880
passenger comfort Emnson on the Ibom Airline on Sunday, the

411
00:26:25,960 –> 00:26:29,440
tenth of August twenty twenty five, I have conferred with

412
00:26:29,519 –> 00:26:33,480
Ibom Airline to withdraw the complaint against her. Today, when

413
00:26:33,480 –> 00:26:36,359
the police took her statement in presence of her lawyer,

414
00:26:36,759 –> 00:26:41,240
she exhibited great remorse for her conduct. B. Subsequent to

415
00:26:41,279 –> 00:26:44,559
the withdrawal of the complaint by the complainant, the CP

416
00:26:44,680 –> 00:26:47,960
of Airport Command and the Police Prosecutor will immediately take

417
00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:51,799
the remaining steps to facilitate her release from Kirikiri Prisons.

418
00:26:51,839 –> 00:26:56,119
Within this week. C I have also conferred with the

419
00:26:56,200 –> 00:27:00,200
leadership of the Airline Operators of Nigeria AON and have

420
00:27:00,240 –> 00:27:03,400
appealed to them to lift the lifetime flying ban imposed

421
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:06,759
on her, to which they agreed. The details of the

422
00:27:06,799 –> 00:27:10,839
resolution will be made public by the AON subsequently d

423
00:27:11,359 –> 00:27:14,160
In the case of quam Ie, the NC Double A

424
00:27:14,359 –> 00:27:17,160
is to reduce his flag ban to a one month period.

425
00:27:18,039 –> 00:27:21,079
FAAAN will also work with the music star with a

426
00:27:21,160 –> 00:27:24,119
view to engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport

427
00:27:24,240 –> 00:27:30,279
security protocol going forward. E having publicly demonstrated penitence. The

428
00:27:30,440 –> 00:27:33,920
NC Double A is also to withdraw its criminal complaints

429
00:27:33,960 –> 00:27:37,920
against quam one earlier lodged with the police f In

430
00:27:38,000 –> 00:27:42,000
the case of Captain Olerantiagoye and the co pilot First

431
00:27:42,039 –> 00:27:45,720
Officer Ivan Oliver of Valujet, the NC Double A is

432
00:27:45,759 –> 00:27:48,880
to restore their licenses after the same period of one

433
00:27:48,920 –> 00:27:54,240
month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional reappraisal. The details

434
00:27:54,279 –> 00:27:57,880
will be announced by the NC Double A. Six. I

435
00:27:57,960 –> 00:28:02,160
have directed all relevant aviation agencies, in collaboration with other

436
00:28:02,240 –> 00:28:07,000
complementary agencies outside aviation, to immediately begin a retreat next

437
00:28:07,039 –> 00:28:11,279
week to properly retrain and prepare our aviation security personnel

438
00:28:11,319 –> 00:28:14,240
on how to deal with errant and disruptive passengers and

439
00:28:14,319 –> 00:28:19,039
how to escalate potentially explosive situations. The retreat will be

440
00:28:19,079 –> 00:28:21,880
fully covered by the press with the opportunity to ask

441
00:28:21,960 –> 00:28:26,799
all the relevant questions. The airlines will also have their

442
00:28:26,839 –> 00:28:29,880
own session when the conduct and attitude of their staff

443
00:28:29,920 –> 00:28:34,319
towards members of the travelling public will be in full focus. Eight.

444
00:28:34,680 –> 00:28:37,960
These above decisions were taken by government and the airline

445
00:28:38,039 –> 00:28:41,799
operators purely on compassionate grounds, as Government will never pander

446
00:28:41,839 –> 00:28:46,359
to base sentiments, politically motivated views or warped legal opinions

447
00:28:46,400 –> 00:28:50,799
when clear encroachment of our laws are involved. Nine. We

448
00:28:50,839 –> 00:28:53,759
are also sending a clear message that we take safety

449
00:28:53,799 –> 00:28:57,200
and security in the aviation sector very seriously and we

450
00:28:57,279 –> 00:29:01,720
have decided to draw a line after these clements. Nigeria

491
00:31:47,319 –> 00:31:50,079
The Ibom Air management, in a press release issued on

492
00:31:50,160 –> 00:31:54,920
Monday entitled Incident involving an unruly Passenger on August tenth,

493
00:31:55,000 –> 00:31:58,839
twenty twenty five, said and in quotes that Iboma Air

494
00:31:58,920 –> 00:32:02,680
confirms that on Sunday, August tenth, twenty twenty five, an

495
00:32:02,759 –> 00:32:07,160
incident occurred on board hour Uyo Langos flight involving a passenger,

496
00:32:07,480 –> 00:32:11,200
Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed a serious threat to the

497
00:32:11,200 –> 00:32:16,759
safety of our crew, passengers and aircraft. Shortly before takeoff

498
00:32:16,759 –> 00:32:20,839
from Muyo, Emanson was instructed, in line with standard aviation

499
00:32:21,079 –> 00:32:25,559
safety procedures, to switch off her mobile phone. She blundly

500
00:32:25,599 –> 00:32:29,200
refused to comply until the pilot in command made an announcement,

501
00:32:29,720 –> 00:32:32,559
after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the

502
00:32:32,599 –> 00:32:36,319
phone and switched it off. This action prompted a verbal

503
00:32:36,400 –> 00:32:40,720
tirade from Emanson. The situation was eventually calmed and the

504
00:32:40,799 –> 00:32:45,880
flight departed as scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos, Emanson waited

505
00:32:45,920 –> 00:32:49,160
for all other passengers to disembark and then proceeded to

506
00:32:49,200 –> 00:32:53,119
confront the purser who had earlier instructed her. She walked

507
00:32:53,160 –> 00:32:57,200
up to the unsuspecting purser stepped on her forcibly tore

508
00:32:57,279 –> 00:33:00,200
off her wig, removed her glasses and threw it the

509
00:33:00,240 –> 00:33:04,039
four and used her footwear to assault her. She slapped

510
00:33:04,039 –> 00:33:06,880
her several times, and when the other cabin crew member

511
00:33:07,000 –> 00:33:11,000
tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She then attempted

512
00:33:11,039 –> 00:33:14,440
to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use as a weapon,

513
00:33:14,759 –> 00:33:17,480
an act that could have damaged and grounded the aircraft.

514
00:33:18,200 –> 00:33:22,319
By this time, the pilot in command had alerted airport security.

515
00:33:23,119 –> 00:33:26,359
Before security could arrive, the purser, as seen on the

516
00:33:26,440 –> 00:33:30,119
viral video on the Internet, prevented the passenger from leaving

517
00:33:30,160 –> 00:33:34,440
the aircraft until security arrived. The arrival of Hibom Air

518
00:33:34,519 –> 00:33:38,279
security personnel did not deter the passenger, as she attacked

519
00:33:38,319 –> 00:33:41,839
him as well, lashing out violently at the security personnel.

520
00:33:42,680 –> 00:33:46,119
She was then restrained and removed from the aircraft by force.

521
00:33:46,640 –> 00:33:50,920
Even after disembarking, she continued to assault Hibom Air security

522
00:33:51,000 –> 00:33:55,640
personnel and even slapped the ground supervisor. The passenger was

523
00:33:55,680 –> 00:33:59,119
removed from the ramp and taken into custody by FAAM

524
00:33:59,319 –> 00:34:02,680
Security an handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for

525
00:34:02,759 –> 00:34:07,039
further investigation. Ibom Air has since submitted a report on

526
00:34:07,160 –> 00:34:11,400
the incident to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and placed

527
00:34:11,400 –> 00:34:14,440
a travel restriction on Emanson, who will no longer be

528
00:34:14,440 –> 00:34:18,159
permitted to fly on any of our aircraft. Ibom Air

529
00:34:18,239 –> 00:34:22,119
reiterates its zero tolerance policy towards any form of unruly

530
00:34:22,239 –> 00:34:26,119
or violent conduct that threatens the safety of passengers, crew

531
00:34:26,559 –> 00:34:30,320
or equipment. Such behavior will be met with the strongest

532
00:34:30,320 –> 00:34:35,400
possible response, including legal action and permanent restriction from our services.

533
00:34:36,159 –> 00:34:39,079
We commend the bravery and professionalism of our crew in

534
00:34:39,159 –> 00:34:44,039
handling this situation under extremely challenging circumstances, as well as

535
00:34:44,079 –> 00:34:48,280
the swift support from airport’s security and the Nigeria Police.

536
00:34:48,400 –> 00:34:52,559
Safety remains our highest priority. We urge all passengers to

537
00:34:52,639 –> 00:34:56,039
comply with crew instructions at all times for the safety,

538
00:34:56,320 –> 00:35:00,800
security and comfort of everyone on board. Had reported that

539
00:35:00,840 –> 00:35:05,519
the Nigeria Aviation Minister, Festus Kamo says the Ministry has

540
00:35:05,639 –> 00:35:09,119
directed for the aviation staff who released the video footage

541
00:35:09,159 –> 00:35:13,320
containing the aspect of an Ibom Airlines passenger Comfort Emanson

542
00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:16,280
or Bob Scene in an indecent appearance with her chest

543
00:35:16,320 –> 00:35:20,119
sexual organs exposed. After the passenger shirt was torn by

544
00:35:20,159 –> 00:35:24,119
an Ibom Airline staff while security operatives were seen in

545
00:35:24,159 –> 00:35:27,159
the viral video dragging the aggrieved passenger out of the

546
00:35:27,199 –> 00:35:31,000
aircraft following an act of confrontation between the passenger and

547
00:35:31,039 –> 00:35:35,239
Ibom Airlines hostesses which one of the hostesses blocked the

548
00:35:35,320 –> 00:35:38,199
right of way of the passenger and prevented the passenger

549
00:35:38,239 –> 00:35:41,760
from disembarking from the plane, and after countless warning to

550
00:35:41,800 –> 00:35:44,920
the airline passenger to leave the road, the passenger went

551
00:35:44,960 –> 00:35:48,119
physical with the hostess by allegedly slapping her on the face,

552
00:35:48,199 –> 00:35:51,360
which the confrontation with the hostess apparently led to the

553
00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:55,199
alleged destruction of the plane divider cotton, which Ibom Airlines

554
00:35:55,280 –> 00:35:58,559
valued at two thousand, five hundred dollars as stated in

555
00:35:58,639 –> 00:36:01,800
count five of the five count charges the police filed

556
00:36:01,840 –> 00:36:05,480
against the passenger at a Keja magistrate caught in Lagos State.

557
00:36:06,280 –> 00:36:08,880
We had reported that a careful study of the viral

558
00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:13,960
video involving the Ibom Airline personnel, Legos Airport security operatives

559
00:36:14,000 –> 00:36:17,679
and an aggrieved passenger comfort emnson on board the airline

560
00:36:17,760 –> 00:36:21,760
plane on Sunday indicated that while the enraged passenger was

561
00:36:21,800 –> 00:36:25,400
being dragged off the plane by three men who held

562
00:36:25,440 –> 00:36:28,320
her two hands and legs, suspending her a little bit

563
00:36:28,440 –> 00:36:31,880
on the air. A lady putting on Ibom air corporate clothes,

564
00:36:31,920 –> 00:36:34,400
who was behind the camera lens, could be seen in

565
00:36:34,480 –> 00:36:37,199
the video to have approached the passenger at the door

566
00:36:37,280 –> 00:36:40,119
point of the plane while the passenger was about to

567
00:36:40,119 –> 00:36:43,400
be taking out, apparently dipped her hand towards the waist

568
00:36:43,400 –> 00:36:46,920
part of the passenger, untucked the passenger shirt from the trousers,

569
00:36:47,360 –> 00:36:50,679
grabbed and pulled the passenger’s shirt towards her head, and

570
00:36:50,800 –> 00:36:53,400
in the process, the passenger shirt got tore and the

571
00:36:53,440 –> 00:36:58,039
passenger’s chest, sexual organs or private parts were completely exposed.

572
00:36:58,360 –> 00:37:01,599
The action of the Ibom Airline staff appeared to be deliberate,

573
00:37:01,920 –> 00:37:04,760
as the airline female staff was not part of those

574
00:37:04,880 –> 00:37:08,119
dragging the passenger off the aircraft, and after the female

575
00:37:08,199 –> 00:37:12,400
passenger’s body was exposed, the Ibom Airlines female staff never

576
00:37:12,559 –> 00:37:16,119
joined or assisted the security operatives to drag the passenger

577
00:37:16,199 –> 00:37:19,320
off the plane. This indicated that the motive of the

578
00:37:19,360 –> 00:37:22,440
female staff of Ibom Airline was solely to remove the

579
00:37:22,519 –> 00:37:26,519
passenger shirt and expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule

580
00:37:31,719 –> 00:37:39,480
Quindi Un, Nigeria Aviation Minister Festus Caamo says the Ministry

581
00:37:39,559 –> 00:37:42,960
has directed for the aviation staff who released the video

582
00:37:43,039 –> 00:37:47,360
footage containing the aspect of an Ibom Airlines passenger Comfort

583
00:37:47,360 –> 00:37:50,519
Hemanson or Bob scene in an indecent appearance with her

584
00:37:50,639 –> 00:37:54,800
chest sexual organs exposed after the passenger shirt was torn

585
00:37:54,880 –> 00:37:58,920
by an Ibom Airline staff while security operatives were seen

586
00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:02,320
in the viral video dragging the aggrieved passenger out of

587
00:38:02,360 –> 00:38:06,440
the aircraft following an act of confrontation between the passenger

588
00:38:06,480 –> 00:38:10,239
and Ibom Airlines hostesses which one of the hostesses blocked

589
00:38:10,239 –> 00:38:12,760
the right of way of the passenger and prevented the

590
00:38:12,760 –> 00:38:16,639
passenger from disembarking from the plane and after countless warning

591
00:38:16,679 –> 00:38:19,840
to the airline passenger to leave the road, the passenger

592
00:38:19,880 –> 00:38:22,719
went physical with the hostess by allegedly slapping her on

593
00:38:22,800 –> 00:38:26,119
the face, which the confrontation with the hostess apparently led

594
00:38:26,159 –> 00:38:29,239
to the alleged destruction of the plane divider cotton, which

595
00:38:29,280 –> 00:38:32,920
Hibom Airlines valued at two thousand, five hundred dollars as

596
00:38:32,960 –> 00:38:36,039
stated in count five of the five count charges the

597
00:38:36,039 –> 00:38:39,440
police filed against the passenger at a Kejer magistrate caught

598
00:38:39,480 –> 00:38:44,599
in Lagos State. The Aviation Minister Festus Kmo, who described

599
00:38:44,639 –> 00:38:48,360
the behavior of the passenger as unruly, said, although the

600
00:38:48,400 –> 00:38:51,320
airline staff is right to video record the event of

601
00:38:51,360 –> 00:38:54,920
the passenger’s behavior for the purpose of legal action, but

602
00:38:55,039 –> 00:38:57,960
it is totally unacceptable for the staff to release part

603
00:38:58,000 –> 00:39:01,760
of the video that exposed the passengers nakedness, especially her breasts.

604
00:39:02,559 –> 00:39:06,760
Details of the Minister’s statement reads verbatum below. Enough is

605
00:39:06,920 –> 00:39:10,880
enough reading the Riot Act on Aviation Safety and Security

606
00:39:10,920 –> 00:39:13,599
in reference to the case of unruly Comfort Bob on

607
00:39:13,639 –> 00:39:18,440
Ibom Airline and related incidents. Earlier today, we again woke

608
00:39:18,519 –> 00:39:22,159
up to viral videos of a female passenger on Ibom Airline,

609
00:39:22,400 –> 00:39:25,920
now identified as Comfort Emanson or Comfort Bob, who went

610
00:39:25,960 –> 00:39:28,960
berserk and physically assaulted both the flight crew and the

611
00:39:29,000 –> 00:39:33,920
ground staff. The incident took place yesterday, August tenth, twenty

612
00:39:33,960 –> 00:39:37,440
twenty five, on Ibom Airline flight number Q one hundred

613
00:39:37,440 –> 00:39:40,599
and fifty three from Ruyo to Legos at about fourteen

614
00:39:40,719 –> 00:39:45,079
fifty four hours. Ibom Airline has since issued a statement

615
00:39:45,159 –> 00:39:47,800
to provide some context to the effect that the whole

616
00:39:47,880 –> 00:39:51,440
unfortunate incident arose because of the refusal of the passenger

617
00:39:51,480 –> 00:39:54,480
to switch off her phone during takeoff as required by

618
00:39:54,559 –> 00:40:00,159
extant international civil aviation regulations. Consequently, in the line past

619
00:40:00,239 –> 00:40:03,000
few hours, I have been speaking with the Commissioner of

620
00:40:03,079 –> 00:40:06,119
Police of the Airport Police Command, the DG of the

621
00:40:06,239 –> 00:40:09,280
NC double A and his team, the end of FAA

622
00:40:09,440 –> 00:40:12,239
N and her team, the COO of Ibom Air and

623
00:40:12,280 –> 00:40:16,159
his team about the incident. Apart from the indefinite flight

624
00:40:16,239 –> 00:40:19,679
ban imposed on the said unruly passenger both local and

625
00:40:19,760 –> 00:40:25,039
international by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NC double A,

626
00:40:25,480 –> 00:40:28,079
the police has promptly arraigned her this morning at the

627
00:40:28,079 –> 00:40:32,360
Akeja Magistrates Caught for criminal offenses and remanded her Kirikiri

628
00:40:32,480 –> 00:40:35,800
Prisons as she could not provide adequate sureties in court.

629
00:40:36,599 –> 00:40:39,960
I have attached the charge sheet and remand order for clarity.

630
00:40:40,360 –> 00:40:43,039
We also note the scuffle that took place between the

631
00:40:43,159 –> 00:40:47,280
unruly passenger and ground personnel before she was eventually subdued.

632
00:40:48,079 –> 00:40:52,079
This was because of her uncooperative attitude. Whilst we support

633
00:40:52,119 –> 00:40:55,840
the filming of her recalcitrant behavior as evidence to prosecute her,

634
00:40:56,280 –> 00:40:59,519
what is deplorable is to release such evidence containing indecent

635
00:40:59,639 –> 00:41:03,280
expose to the public to ridicule her that is totally

636
00:41:03,360 –> 00:41:06,800
unacceptable to us. We will not fold our arms and

637
00:41:06,880 –> 00:41:10,920
tolerate the debasing of womanhood. I have therefore directed that

638
00:41:10,960 –> 00:41:14,239
whoever released that part of the video containing the indecent

639
00:41:14,360 –> 00:41:18,400
exposure amongst the staff should be singled out and adequately sanctioned.

640
00:41:19,119 –> 00:41:22,280
I have also directed that the airlines must continue to

641
00:41:22,360 –> 00:41:25,519
train and retrain their staff in public relations and how

642
00:41:25,559 –> 00:41:29,320
to deal with potentially explosive situations in order to diffuse

643
00:41:29,360 –> 00:41:32,320
them promptly or nip them in the bud, except when

644
00:41:33,159 –> 00:41:37,119
it becomes inevitable. I have also directed a joint security

645
00:41:37,159 –> 00:41:41,079
meeting between relevant agencies next week for better coordination of

646
00:41:41,159 –> 00:41:44,760
security measures in situations like this or similar ones we

647
00:41:44,880 –> 00:41:49,840
witnessed recently. For genuinely aggrieved passengers, there are clearly laid

648
00:41:49,920 –> 00:41:54,719
down remedies to address grievances. The Consumer Protection Directorate of

649
00:41:54,760 –> 00:41:58,719
the nc double A has consistently advertised these remedies, and

650
00:41:58,800 –> 00:42:01,199
there is no point trying to take the laws into

651
00:42:01,239 –> 00:42:05,079
one’s hands that may lead to dire consequences. We will

652
00:42:05,119 –> 00:42:08,719
continue to apply equal sanctions available to us in aviation

653
00:42:08,880 –> 00:42:12,559
on any such airing passengers that is, lengthy flight bands

654
00:42:12,559 –> 00:42:15,760
and report the matters to other law enforcement agencies to

655
00:42:15,760 –> 00:42:19,239
do their bit within their powers. We have reported that

656
00:42:19,280 –> 00:42:22,280
a careful study of the viral video involving the Ibomb

657
00:42:22,280 –> 00:42:26,639
air Line personnel, legos, airport security operatives and an aggrieved

658
00:42:26,679 –> 00:42:30,840
passenger comfort E Manson on board the airline plane on Sunday,

659
00:42:30,920 –> 00:42:34,920
indicated that while the enraged passenger was being dragged off

660
00:42:34,960 –> 00:42:38,159
the plane by three men who held her two hands

661
00:42:38,159 –> 00:42:40,960
and legs, suspending her a little bit on the air,

662
00:42:41,320 –> 00:42:44,199
a lady putting on Ibomb air corporate clothes who was

663
00:42:44,280 –> 00:42:46,920
behind the camera lens, could be seen in the video

664
00:42:47,000 –> 00:42:49,760
to have approached the passenger at the door point of

665
00:42:49,800 –> 00:42:52,920
the plane while the passenger was about to be taking out,

666
00:42:53,239 –> 00:42:56,400
apparently dipped her hand towards the waist part of the passenger,

667
00:42:56,800 –> 00:42:59,960
untucked the passenger shirt from the trousers, grabbed and pulled

668
00:43:00,159 –> 00:43:03,519
the passenger’s shirt towards her head, and in the process

669
00:43:03,760 –> 00:43:06,960
the passenger shirt got tore and the passenger’s chest, sexual

670
00:43:07,159 –> 00:43:10,960
organs or private parts were completely exposed. The action of

671
00:43:11,000 –> 00:43:14,199
the Ibom Airline staff appeared to be deliberate, as the

672
00:43:14,199 –> 00:43:17,360
airline female staff was not part of those dragging the

673
00:43:17,400 –> 00:43:21,159
passenger off the aircraft, and after the female passenger’s body

674
00:43:21,280 –> 00:43:25,079
was exposed, the Ibom Airline’s female staff never joined or

675
00:43:25,119 –> 00:43:28,840
assisted the security operatives to drag the passenger off the plane.

676
00:43:29,199 –> 00:43:32,280
This indicated that the motive of the female staff of

677
00:43:32,320 –> 00:43:35,480
Ibom Airline was solely to remove the passenger shirt and

678
00:43:35,559 –> 00:43:38,480
expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule.

679
00:43:44,079 –> 00:43:48,119
Speaker 2: Madam verver m.

680
00:43:56,079 –> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 3: Naraswala Asad and here was doessus Saniel who.

681
00:44:02,280 –> 00:44:09,039
Speaker 2: Will lady Windy ringe.

682
00:44:09,360 –> 00:44:13,679
Speaker 1: In a careful study of the viral video involving the

683
00:44:13,760 –> 00:44:19,039
Ibomb Airline personnel, Legos airport security operatives and an aggrieved passenger,

684
00:44:19,559 –> 00:44:22,559
comfort a manson on board the airline plane on Sunday

685
00:44:22,719 –> 00:44:26,679
indicated that while the enraged passenger was being dragged off

686
00:44:26,719 –> 00:44:29,880
the plane by three men who held her two hands

687
00:44:29,920 –> 00:44:32,679
and legs, suspending her a little bit on the air,

688
00:44:33,079 –> 00:44:35,960
a lady putting on Ibomb air corporate clothes, who was

689
00:44:36,039 –> 00:44:38,559
behind the camera lens, could be seen in the video

690
00:44:38,719 –> 00:44:41,400
to have approached the passenger at the door point of

691
00:44:41,519 –> 00:44:44,519
the plane while the passenger was about to be taking out,

692
00:44:44,960 –> 00:44:48,079
apparently dipped her hand towards the waist part of the passenger,

693
00:44:48,519 –> 00:44:51,840
untucked the passenger shirt from the trousers, grabbed and pulled

694
00:44:51,840 –> 00:44:55,119
the passenger’s shirt towards her head, and in the process,

695
00:44:55,480 –> 00:44:59,280
the passenger shirt got tore and the passenger’s chest, sexual organs,

696
00:44:59,440 –> 00:45:02,719
or private parts were completely exposed. The action of the

697
00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:06,320
Ibom Airline staff appeared to be deliberate, as the airline

698
00:45:06,400 –> 00:45:09,599
female staff was not part of those dragging the passenger

699
00:45:09,719 –> 00:45:13,599
off the aircraft, and after the female passenger’s body was exposed,

700
00:45:13,840 –> 00:45:17,320
the Ibom Airlines female staff never joined or assisted the

701
00:45:17,400 –> 00:45:20,960
security operatives to drag the passenger off the plane. This

702
00:45:21,159 –> 00:45:24,320
indicated that the motive of the female’s staff of Ibom

703
00:45:24,400 –> 00:45:27,719
Airline was solely to remove the passenger shirt and expose

704
00:45:27,800 –> 00:45:31,639
the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule. The video of the

705
00:45:31,719 –> 00:45:36,320
passenger’s partial nakedness, especially her two breasts completely exposed due

706
00:45:36,320 –> 00:45:38,559
to the apparent action of a yet to be arrested

707
00:45:38,599 –> 00:45:42,800
and prosecuted female staff of Ibom Airlines has since gone viral,

708
00:45:43,239 –> 00:45:46,639
with some pornographic channels already updating their channels with the

709
00:45:46,719 –> 00:45:51,840
partial nakedness of the Ibom airline’s passenger. According to Punch newspaper,

710
00:45:52,280 –> 00:45:56,760
Comfort Emanson, the passenger accused of assaulting airline officials aboard

711
00:45:56,800 –> 00:45:59,719
an Ibomb Air flight from Muyo to Lagos, has been

712
00:45:59,800 –> 00:46:03,039
ch ardged in court and remanded in Kirrikiri Correctional Center

713
00:46:03,159 –> 00:46:08,559
in Lagos. Tunday Machud, Special Adviser on Media and Communications

714
00:46:08,599 –> 00:46:13,800
to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus kmo San,

715
00:46:14,280 –> 00:46:17,079
confirmed the development in a post on his official ex

716
00:46:17,159 –> 00:46:20,760
handle on Monday. The more reason the flying public should

717
00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:24,400
be more careful. The unruly passenger on the Yuyo, Lagos

718
00:46:24,480 –> 00:46:28,599
bound Ibomair Miscomfort Emanson, has been charged to court and

719
00:46:28,679 –> 00:46:33,119
she’s now cooling off in Kirrikiri, Machud wrote. IBOM Air

720
00:46:33,239 –> 00:46:37,480
in a press statement on Monday, said that Ibomhyr confirms

721
00:46:37,559 –> 00:46:41,320
that on Sunday, August tenth, twenty twenty five, an incident

722
00:46:41,360 –> 00:46:45,119
occurred on board our Uyo Lagos flight involving a passenger,

723
00:46:45,440 –> 00:46:49,000
Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed a serious threat to the

724
00:46:49,079 –> 00:46:54,639
safety of our crew, passengers and aircraft. Shortly before takeoff

725
00:46:54,639 –> 00:46:58,599
from Uyo, Emanson was instructed, in line with standard aviation

726
00:46:58,800 –> 00:47:02,440
safety procedures, to say switch off her mobile phone. She

727
00:47:02,559 –> 00:47:05,920
bluntly refused to comply until the pilot in command made

728
00:47:05,960 –> 00:47:09,599
an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her

729
00:47:09,679 –> 00:47:13,280
took the phone and switched it off. This action prompted

730
00:47:13,280 –> 00:47:17,559
a verbal tirade from Emmanson. The situation was eventually calmed

731
00:47:17,920 –> 00:47:22,000
and the flight departed as scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos,

732
00:47:22,360 –> 00:47:25,880
Emanson waited for all other passengers to disembark, and then

733
00:47:26,000 –> 00:47:29,239
proceeded to confront the purser who had earlier instructed her.

734
00:47:30,079 –> 00:47:34,320
She walked up to the unsuspecting purser, stepped on her, forcibly,

735
00:47:34,440 –> 00:47:37,360
tore off her wig, removed her glasses and threw it

736
00:47:37,440 –> 00:47:40,079
to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her.

737
00:47:40,880 –> 00:47:43,960
She slapped her several times, and when the other cabin

738
00:47:44,039 –> 00:47:47,840
crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She

739
00:47:48,000 –> 00:47:51,440
then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use

740
00:47:51,440 –> 00:47:53,880
as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and

741
00:47:54,000 –> 00:47:58,119
grounded the aircraft. By this time, the pilot in command

742
00:47:58,199 –> 00:48:03,320
had alerted airport security. Before security could arrive, the purser,

743
00:48:03,639 –> 00:48:06,840
as seen on the viral video on the Internet, prevented

744
00:48:06,920 –> 00:48:11,800
the passenger from leaving the aircraft until security arrived. The

745
00:48:11,960 –> 00:48:15,239
arrival of Ibom Air security personnel did not deter the

746
00:48:15,320 –> 00:48:18,679
passenger as she attacked him as well, lashing out violently

747
00:48:18,760 –> 00:48:23,440
at both Hibomair and Faan security. She was then restrained

748
00:48:23,480 –> 00:48:27,679
and removed from the aircraft by force. Even after disembarking,

749
00:48:28,119 –> 00:48:32,599
she continued to assault both Hibomair and Faan security staff

750
00:48:32,639 –> 00:48:36,880
and even slap the ground supervisor. The passenger was removed

751
00:48:36,960 –> 00:48:40,679
from the ramp and taken into custody by Faan Security

752
00:48:40,760 –> 00:48:44,639
and handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation.

753
00:48:45,519 –> 00:48:48,559
Ibom Air has since submitted a report on the incident

754
00:48:48,639 –> 00:48:52,360
to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and placed a travel

755
00:48:52,440 –> 00:48:55,639
restriction on Emanson, who will no longer be permitted to

756
00:48:55,719 –> 00:48:59,599
fly on any of our aircraft. Iboma Air reiterates its

757
00:49:00,119 –> 00:49:03,960
tolerance policy towards any form of unruly or violent conduct

758
00:49:04,039 –> 00:49:08,800
that threatens the safety of passengers, crew or equipment. Such

759
00:49:08,880 –> 00:49:17,360
behavior will be met with the strongest possible response. Management

760
00:49:17,480 –> 00:49:20,800
of National Youth Service Corps under the leadership of Brigadier

761
00:49:20,960 –> 00:49:25,320
General Holukunlee Nephew, has given reasons why serving Nigeria Youth

762
00:49:25,400 –> 00:49:30,880
Corps member Hashier Rita Aguamaye was denied NYSC discharge certificate

763
00:49:30,960 –> 00:49:33,760
that could have enabled her exit the one year mandatory

764
00:49:33,840 –> 00:49:37,519
program after she completed the one year paramilitary service to

765
00:49:37,599 –> 00:49:40,880
her nation as a new graduate. And according to a

766
00:49:40,960 –> 00:49:45,440
statement posted and made available by NYSC on Sunday with

767
00:49:45,599 –> 00:49:48,960
no name of the authority responsible for the press statement

768
00:49:49,079 –> 00:49:53,039
written or mentioned in the statement, the NYSC said Corps

769
00:49:53,079 –> 00:49:57,280
member Retur Aguamei’s discharge certificate was withheld and her service

770
00:49:57,400 –> 00:50:01,400
year extended by two months following her alleged absence or

771
00:50:01,480 –> 00:50:06,599
failure to attend the April twenty twenty five NYSC biometrics

772
00:50:06,719 –> 00:50:11,079
clearance at etiosa Local Government Area Secretariat, and the month

773
00:50:11,199 –> 00:50:15,039
stated by NYSC was barely few days after the Corps

774
00:50:15,079 –> 00:50:17,760
member had cried out loud in the month of March

775
00:50:17,880 –> 00:50:21,440
twenty twenty five over the apparent increasing high rates of

776
00:50:21,559 –> 00:50:24,599
hunger as a result of rising costs of living in

777
00:50:24,760 –> 00:50:28,920
Nigeria and as such, she described the President Bola Ahmed

778
00:50:28,960 –> 00:50:32,119
Tanubu as a terrible president. In a swift reaction to

779
00:50:32,239 –> 00:50:37,320
the reason given by NYSC, Reta Aguimea’s lawyer, barrister and

780
00:50:37,400 –> 00:50:41,840
nibihe f Young while answering questions from channel’s television program

781
00:50:42,039 –> 00:50:45,920
presenters on Monday morning said the statement issued by the

782
00:50:46,039 –> 00:50:50,039
management of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC on its

783
00:50:50,079 –> 00:50:53,639
decision to extend the service period and withhold the certificate

784
00:50:53,679 –> 00:50:58,079
of National Service of Corps member Hashie Reta Aguamaye alias Raye,

785
00:50:58,239 –> 00:51:00,360
does not represent the truth of the U s the matter,

786
00:51:00,840 –> 00:51:04,920
saying on April seventh, twenty twenty five, Rita was physically

787
00:51:05,000 –> 00:51:08,119
present at the Local Government Secretariat for the head count

788
00:51:08,199 –> 00:51:11,719
and clearance, with the NYSC official at the local government

789
00:51:11,880 –> 00:51:15,519
level deliberately refused to attend to her, even after six

790
00:51:15,639 –> 00:51:19,000
hours waiting, during which she was asked to go back

791
00:51:19,079 –> 00:51:22,480
and queued up on the line. Repeatedly, the NYSC official

792
00:51:22,599 –> 00:51:26,519
still refused to attend to her, and thereafter, on April eleventh,

793
00:51:26,639 –> 00:51:29,480
twenty twenty five, the CORE member went to meet the

794
00:51:29,639 –> 00:51:32,960
NYSC official and begged her to allow her perform her

795
00:51:33,039 –> 00:51:38,760
April twenty twenty five biometrics clearance. The NYSC female official

796
00:51:38,880 –> 00:51:42,559
refused and asked the CORE member to leave. This, Amnesty

797
00:51:42,679 –> 00:51:47,360
International said the National Youth Service Corps NYSC must rescind

798
00:51:47,440 –> 00:51:51,880
its decision. The Amnesty International described as arbitrary and outrageous,

799
00:51:52,320 –> 00:51:57,039
saying NYSC allegedly used bureaucratic tricks to extend the core

800
00:51:57,159 –> 00:52:01,559
member national service year over the government’s unacceptable intolerance of

801
00:52:01,679 –> 00:52:06,960
dissenting voices, with former Nigeria Vice President Atiku Abubaka describing

802
00:52:07,039 –> 00:52:11,079
the NYSC action as impunity and as such cautioned the

803
00:52:11,159 –> 00:52:15,159
government against subjecting everything to politics. And on Monday morning,

804
00:52:15,400 –> 00:52:18,559
the former governor of an Ambra State, Peter Hobe, issued

805
00:52:18,599 –> 00:52:22,079
a statement and said in our country today, hunger and

806
00:52:22,199 –> 00:52:25,519
poverty are not just distant statistics. They are the harsh

807
00:52:25,599 –> 00:52:29,440
reality that millions of our people face daily. Recently, the

808
00:52:29,639 –> 00:52:33,639
United Nations stated that about thirty four million Nigerians will

809
00:52:33,679 –> 00:52:37,559
face acute food insecurity and about sixty three percent of

810
00:52:37,639 –> 00:52:41,000
our population, which is about one hundred and thirty three

811
00:52:41,159 –> 00:52:45,519
million people, now live in multi dimensional poverty. Inflation, even

812
00:52:45,599 –> 00:52:49,679
with the suppressed statistics, is nearly thirty percent, while unemployment

813
00:52:49,760 –> 00:52:53,400
and economic mismanagement have nearly wiped out our once vibrant

814
00:52:53,440 –> 00:52:56,960
middle class. Families who once lived stable lives are now

815
00:52:57,039 –> 00:53:01,079
slipping into poverty. Omi Yle Sir Warret, the founder of

816
00:53:01,159 –> 00:53:03,840
Sahara a Reporters News media, said he was ready to

817
00:53:03,960 –> 00:53:06,920
stand beside the Corps member and escort her to collect

818
00:53:06,960 –> 00:53:11,920
her NYSC discharge certificate last week, but the government of

819
00:53:12,000 –> 00:53:16,199
President Bolahmed Tanubu prevented him by thus unlawfully detaining him

820
00:53:16,239 –> 00:53:20,320
at the police station. In quotes, Sir Ware said, it

821
00:53:20,440 –> 00:53:23,320
is with deep sadness and renewed outrage that I addressed

822
00:53:23,360 –> 00:53:29,079
the ongoing injustice against Rita Iguamaye Raye. Nigeria’s National Youth

823
00:53:29,199 –> 00:53:34,000
Service Corps NYSC has seized her discharge certificate because she

824
00:53:34,159 –> 00:53:38,800
criticized the Tanubu regime over economic hardships. I was fully

825
00:53:38,880 –> 00:53:41,760
prepared to stand beside her to help her receive her

826
00:53:41,960 –> 00:53:48,239
NYSC discharge certificate. However, the criminal Assawaju bolah Ahmed Tanubu

827
00:53:48,320 –> 00:53:52,199
regime unlawfully detained me in Abuja this past week. This

828
00:53:52,400 –> 00:53:57,400
regime thrives on intimidation, repression and silencing the youth. We

829
00:53:57,559 –> 00:54:00,519
had promised to fight for her justice and that promise

830
00:54:00,639 –> 00:54:04,679
remains unbroken. We will not stop until we achieve victory,

831
00:54:04,800 –> 00:54:08,039
not just for Raye, but for every Nigerian denied their

832
00:54:08,119 –> 00:54:11,440
rights by an oppressive system. We must not forget that

833
00:54:11,599 –> 00:54:16,039
Rai’s courage and uncompromising stance compelled the authorities to increase

834
00:54:16,119 –> 00:54:19,960
the monthly allowance for her colleagues to seventy seven thousand niras.

835
00:54:20,800 –> 00:54:24,599
This significant improvement was won through her sacrifice, and it

836
00:54:24,719 –> 00:54:27,320
is an injustice of the highest order that she continues

837
00:54:27,400 –> 00:54:30,320
to be denied what is rightfully hers upon completion of

838
00:54:30,400 –> 00:54:34,320
her service year. We will not abandon her. Her fight

839
00:54:34,519 –> 00:54:38,360
is our fight. The struggle continues until we win. We

840
00:54:38,519 –> 00:54:43,559
reject the nysc’s spurious position in its entirety Youth Corps

841
00:54:43,599 –> 00:54:47,039
member Ashier Retur Ghumaye Rai’s case could not and should

842
00:54:47,079 –> 00:54:51,519
not be dismissed as a mere biometric clearance issue. This

843
00:54:51,840 –> 00:54:55,639
was not about paperwork. This was punishment in retaliation for

844
00:54:55,719 –> 00:55:01,079
her public criticism of Assawaju Bolahamed Tanubu’s disastrous economic policies.

845
00:55:02,000 –> 00:55:05,239
Silencing dissent is not service to the nation. It is

846
00:55:05,320 –> 00:55:08,800
a service to tyranny. We stand with Raye. We will

847
00:55:08,880 –> 00:55:12,960
continue to fight against NYSC until the injustice is corrected.

848
00:55:13,800 –> 00:55:18,159
Revolutional NYSC in the press release, has said that the

849
00:55:18,400 –> 00:55:23,079
NYSC management wishes to clarify a misleading information circulating on

850
00:55:23,239 –> 00:55:27,679
social media regarding Corps member hshier Rita Iguamaye State Code

851
00:55:27,760 –> 00:55:31,639
number twenty four B eight thousand, three hundred and twenty five.

852
00:55:32,559 –> 00:55:35,679
Contrary to false claims that she was denied a Certificate

853
00:55:35,760 –> 00:55:40,440
of National Service CNS due to critical remarks about the government,

854
00:55:40,880 –> 00:55:44,400
this assertion is entirely unfounded and false in its entirety.

855
00:55:45,239 –> 00:55:48,000
Rita is among the one hundred and thirty one Corps

856
00:55:48,039 –> 00:55:52,599
members whose Certificates of National Service CNS were withheld for

857
00:55:52,719 –> 00:55:58,280
valid disciplinary reasons. Specifically, Rita’s service year has been extended

858
00:55:58,360 –> 00:56:00,679
by two months for failing to retain en the April

859
00:56:00,800 –> 00:56:04,760
twenty twenty five biometrics clearance, a decision that aligns with

860
00:56:04,880 –> 00:56:08,800
the NYSC by laws. It is important to note that

861
00:56:08,880 –> 00:56:11,840
this extension is a standard procedure and not unique to

862
00:56:11,960 –> 00:56:15,000
her case, and the principle of equal treatment was only

863
00:56:15,039 –> 00:56:19,519
applied in this case. The NYSC management thus urges the

864
00:56:19,599 –> 00:56:23,719
public to approach this matter with understanding as extending service

865
00:56:23,800 –> 00:56:26,679
for non compliance is a long standing tradition within the

866
00:56:26,880 –> 00:56:32,159
NYSC and should not be politicized. The NYSC scheme remains

867
00:56:32,199 –> 00:56:35,719
committed to discharging its mandate in line with the dictates

868
00:56:35,760 –> 00:56:41,440
of the Constitution. Nigeria is Ours, Nigeria. We serve. Former

869
00:56:41,559 –> 00:56:46,119
Nigeria Vice President Hatiku Abu Bakha said, what manner of

870
00:56:46,199 –> 00:56:50,519
impunity is this? Everything should not be subjected to politics.

871
00:56:51,000 –> 00:56:55,519
I hope that Ashie Rita Aguamea’s NYSC discharge certificate is

872
00:56:55,599 –> 00:56:58,480
not being withheld because she had the courage to complain

873
00:56:58,599 –> 00:57:02,920
about the economic hardship under the President Bola Tanubu led administration.

874
00:57:03,840 –> 00:57:06,960
It is unacceptable that the young lady who had served

875
00:57:07,000 –> 00:57:10,360
her country without queries should not have received her National

876
00:57:10,440 –> 00:57:14,400
Youth Service Corps certificate one year after passing out. The

877
00:57:14,519 –> 00:57:18,000
appropriate authorities should take urgent steps to ensure that she

878
00:57:18,119 –> 00:57:22,719
gets her discharge certificate. Amnesty International, in a press release

879
00:57:22,840 –> 00:57:27,800
said the National Youth Service Corps NYSC must rescind its

880
00:57:27,920 –> 00:57:32,480
arbitrary and outrageous decision to Denyrita Ashier, widely known as Raye,

881
00:57:32,920 –> 00:57:36,719
her NYSC discharge certificate upon completion of a year of

882
00:57:36,840 –> 00:57:41,760
national service. Using bureaucratic tricks to extend her national service

883
00:57:41,840 –> 00:57:47,199
shows unacceptable intolerance of dissenting voices. The flagrant decision to

884
00:57:47,320 –> 00:57:50,719
withhold her certificate may not be unconnected with her comments

885
00:57:50,800 –> 00:57:54,440
on social media on the widespread economic hardship as a

886
00:57:54,519 –> 00:57:59,400
result of President Bola Tanubu’s economic policies. It is perfectly

887
00:57:59,480 –> 00:58:03,719
within her right to express discontent peacefully. Instead of punishing

888
00:58:03,800 –> 00:58:07,599
her by withholding her NYSC certificate for her opinions on

889
00:58:07,800 –> 00:58:12,559
rampant inflation, the authorities should prioritize addressing the country’s escalating

890
00:58:12,639 –> 00:58:17,679
economic woes. The Nigerian authorities must stop responding with abuse

891
00:58:17,760 –> 00:58:21,360
of power and intimidation to individuals and groups who express

892
00:58:21,480 –> 00:58:25,840
dissenting opinions in utter disregard for the Nigerian constitution and

893
00:58:25,960 –> 00:58:30,599
international law. Holding and voicing dissenting views is not a crime.

894
00:58:31,119 –> 00:58:34,840
In March, Ritaashie faced threat to life and violence for

895
00:58:34,920 –> 00:58:39,320
her viral TikTok video criticizing President Bola Tanubu’s government over

896
00:58:39,440 –> 00:58:44,239
unprecedented economic hardship that plunged millions of people into abject poverty.

897
00:58:45,079 –> 00:58:49,480
Since May twenty twenty three, series of economic policies introduced

898
00:58:49,519 –> 00:58:52,920
by Nigerian government have been undermining the ability of people

899
00:58:53,039 –> 00:58:56,360
on low incomes to secure their right to adequate standard

900
00:58:56,440 –> 00:59:00,840
of living. Millions of people in Nigeria are increasingly unable

901
00:59:00,920 –> 00:59:03,960
to meet the costs of education, food and health care.

902
00:59:04,760 –> 00:59:09,079
No one should be punished for expressing dissenting opinions. Authorities

903
00:59:09,159 –> 00:59:12,280
have obligation to uphold and respect the right to freedom

904
00:59:12,320 –> 00:59:17,159
of expression without discrimination. Former Governor of a Nambra State,

905
00:59:17,599 –> 00:59:21,360
Peter Obey, in a detailed statement on Monday, said, in

906
00:59:21,480 –> 00:59:25,280
our country today, hunger and poverty are not just distant statistics.

907
00:59:25,639 –> 00:59:28,159
They are the harsh reality that millions of our people

908
00:59:28,280 –> 00:59:32,960
face daily. Recently, the United Nations stated that about thirty

909
00:59:33,039 –> 00:59:37,400
four million Nigerians will face acute food insecurity and about

910
00:59:37,480 –> 00:59:40,599
sixty three percent of our population, which is about one

911
00:59:40,719 –> 00:59:44,000
hundred and thirty three million people, now live in multi

912
00:59:44,079 –> 00:59:48,800
dimensional poverty. Inflation, even with the suppressed statistics, is nearly

913
00:59:48,920 –> 00:59:53,400
thirty percent, while unemployment and economic mismanagement have nearly wiped

914
00:59:53,440 –> 00:59:57,480
out our once vibrant middle class. Families who once lived

915
00:59:57,559 –> 01:00:00,679
stable lives are now slipping into poverty. But this is

916
01:00:00,800 –> 01:00:03,880
not just ordinary. It is as a result of incompetent

917
01:00:04,000 –> 01:00:07,559
leadership without capacity and compassion, who were not interested in

918
01:00:07,679 –> 01:00:12,000
putting the Nigerian people first in their actions. Other nations

919
01:00:12,079 –> 01:00:15,559
have faced similar challenges and turned their fortunes around through

920
01:00:15,679 –> 01:00:20,239
disciplined leadership, sound economic policies, and a total commitment from

921
01:00:20,280 –> 01:00:23,239
the leaders to invest in human development and pulling their

922
01:00:23,280 –> 01:00:26,880
people out of poverty. A recent example is what is

923
01:00:26,960 –> 01:00:31,239
happening in Argentina. In Argentina, over fifty two percent of

924
01:00:31,320 –> 01:00:34,760
its population lived in poverty by early twenty twenty four,

925
01:00:34,840 –> 01:00:38,480
according to the World Bank, with millions of Argentines unable

926
01:00:38,559 –> 01:00:42,719
to meet basic needs, Inflation was above two hundred percent

927
01:00:43,159 –> 01:00:48,280
and economic confidence had collapsed. Yet within two years, through

928
01:00:48,400 –> 01:00:52,880
decisive action to cut waste in governance and prioritize economic stability,

929
01:00:53,400 –> 01:00:56,239
the newly inaugurated president was able to cut down the

930
01:00:56,320 –> 01:00:59,559
poverty rate to thirty eight point one percent from fifty

931
01:00:59,599 –> 01:01:02,840
two per sent in just two years, and extreme poverty

932
01:01:02,960 –> 01:01:06,440
fell to eight point two percent, with inflation just around

933
01:01:06,519 –> 01:01:10,159
two to three percent monthly. As at twenty twenty five,

934
01:01:10,679 –> 01:01:14,079
the urban poverty had declined to thirty one point six percent,

935
01:01:14,559 –> 01:01:18,960
lifting millions of people out of poverty. Investor confidence grew

936
01:01:19,000 –> 01:01:22,119
in the economy began to grow. The people now see

937
01:01:22,199 –> 01:01:26,000
real improvements in the daily lives. Both Argentina and the

938
01:01:26,079 –> 01:01:29,559
current Nigerian leadership assumed office in the same year, and

939
01:01:29,719 –> 01:01:33,119
this proves what I have always stated that two years

940
01:01:33,239 –> 01:01:35,320
may not be enough to change a nation with a

941
01:01:35,400 –> 01:01:38,440
one hundred percent turnaround, but it is more than enough

942
01:01:38,559 –> 01:01:41,599
to kick start the transformation journey that will change the

943
01:01:41,719 –> 01:01:44,920
fortune of our dear country. With the people witnessing real

944
01:01:45,000 –> 01:01:48,119
and genuine change. But only if the leadership is honest,

945
01:01:48,440 –> 01:01:52,960
focused and committed to the people, Nigeria can work. We

946
01:01:53,119 –> 01:01:57,719
can reduce hunger and restore dignity to Nigerians. But this

947
01:01:57,880 –> 01:02:01,559
will not happen while corruption and criminal dominate our governance.

948
01:02:02,400 –> 01:02:05,400
Our nation requires leaders who will put the people first,

949
01:02:05,880 –> 01:02:10,199
manage resources prudently, and stand firm in rejecting corrupt practices.

950
01:02:11,079 –> 01:02:15,119
Nigeria will work, but only if we as leaders commit

951
01:02:15,199 –> 01:02:19,079
to tackling corruption, cutting the cost of governance, and focusing

952
01:02:19,159 –> 01:02:23,719
on critical areas of development like education, healthcare, and lifting

953
01:02:23,800 –> 01:02:26,679
the people out of poverty, just as other nations have

954
01:02:26,880 –> 01:02:31,440
done with remarkable results, a new Nigeria is possible. We

955
01:02:31,599 –> 01:02:34,599
had reported that after the Nigeria be Afra Civil War,

956
01:02:35,000 –> 01:02:39,039
the National Youth Service Corps NYSC was established on May

957
01:02:39,199 –> 01:02:42,679
twenty second, nineteen seventy three to give the youths the

958
01:02:42,800 –> 01:02:46,719
opportunity to leave their parents and stay alone to contribute

959
01:02:46,800 –> 01:02:51,519
to the betterment of the West Africa country. Nigeria Interestingly,

960
01:02:51,880 –> 01:02:55,119
a few days ago, one of the serving corpers, Hashie

961
01:02:55,280 –> 01:02:58,239
Rita Iguamaye, went to the market in Lagos State to

962
01:02:58,320 –> 01:03:01,000
buy foodstuffs, but she was shocked that the prices of

963
01:03:01,079 –> 01:03:04,480
foodstuffs in the month of March have again increased far

964
01:03:04,639 –> 01:03:07,679
more than they were previous months. Apparently faced with the

965
01:03:07,760 –> 01:03:10,960
heat of passion, her Gumaye took to social media to

966
01:03:11,039 –> 01:03:13,679
call on the youths to unite and defend the country

967
01:03:13,760 –> 01:03:17,440
from total economy collapse, saying it was her first time

968
01:03:17,519 –> 01:03:20,719
to leave her parents and start paying domestic bills alone,

969
01:03:21,119 –> 01:03:24,480
adding that the money she spends on transport is more

970
01:03:24,519 –> 01:03:28,840
than the monthly salary NYSC is paying her, begging the

971
01:03:28,920 –> 01:03:32,559
youths to stage a thirty days non stop challenge protests

972
01:03:32,639 –> 01:03:36,559
to make the country. President Bola Ahmed Tolubu, she described

973
01:03:36,679 –> 01:03:39,599
as a terrible person to be alive to his political

974
01:03:39,679 –> 01:03:44,159
and institutional responsibilities of making cost of living reasonably okay

975
01:03:44,280 –> 01:03:48,119
for people to afford, stressing that some Nigerians are pretending

976
01:03:48,199 –> 01:03:51,440
to still be rich whereas the bad economy has pushed

977
01:03:51,480 –> 01:03:56,440
them into poverty. This Reno Omekri, former presidential spokesperson, who

978
01:03:56,559 –> 01:04:00,679
have been living abroad since twenty fourteen reaction. Stident said

979
01:04:00,719 –> 01:04:03,159
that there is no country in the world where a

980
01:04:03,239 –> 01:04:07,559
paramilitary official like the CORPOS is permitted to criticize the government.

981
01:04:08,079 –> 01:04:10,719
Speaker 3: She didn’t participate in. Thank you for having me.

982
01:04:11,239 –> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: I think this is.

983
01:04:13,519 –> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 3: In matter that Nigerians who have followed this case since

984
01:04:18,480 –> 01:04:22,800
March when you started closely, would be able to make

985
01:04:22,880 –> 01:04:28,480
reasonable deductions. Now let me start by saying that this

986
01:04:28,639 –> 01:04:31,400
statement issued by the management of the National Youth Service

987
01:04:31,519 –> 01:04:38,480
Corps yesterday is quite unfortunate. It betrays the very idea

988
01:04:39,519 –> 01:04:43,679
behind the establishment of the vice. In their statement, they

989
01:04:43,800 –> 01:04:55,280
claim that Raya is being punished and penalied in compliance

990
01:04:55,360 –> 01:04:59,199
with the by loss of the Corps and that as

991
01:04:59,400 –> 01:05:00,960
saving spirit had been a standard for.

992
01:05:01,039 –> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Two months.

993
01:05:03,960 –> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 3: And as a direcate of national service with hell because

994
01:05:09,079 –> 01:05:13,199
she missed or absence from literally the barometric clearance for

995
01:05:13,320 –> 01:05:18,079
the month of April. But the truth of the matter.

996
01:05:19,559 –> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Is that.

997
01:05:22,440 –> 01:05:28,559
Speaker 3: Not only did write written when am I present herself

998
01:05:28,920 –> 01:05:31,800
for Clarence in the month of April, specifically on the

999
01:05:31,880 –> 01:05:36,400
seventh of April, when people think that she also attended

1000
01:05:36,440 –> 01:05:37,559
the citys.

1001
01:05:39,400 –> 01:05:40,719
Speaker 1: Which took place on the subdate.

1002
01:05:43,400 –> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 3: Because if you are saying that the Commember did not

1003
01:05:47,039 –> 01:05:51,599
Undergod clearance for a particular modes. One would want to

1004
01:05:51,679 –> 01:05:55,920
know what what that reason for missing a Clarence.

1005
01:05:56,800 –> 01:05:57,519
Speaker 1: They haven’t said.

1006
01:05:57,760 –> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 2: I literally went there anything in that regard.

1007
01:06:01,199 –> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 3: And the simple reason is because what the US has

1008
01:06:04,000 –> 01:06:10,800
said publicly is completely false. This lady presented herself before

1009
01:06:10,800 –> 01:06:13,639
I held you the Logle government’s inspector. I need.

1010
01:06:15,559 –> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Of it yourself.
