Local Government area of Delta States.
Of March fourteen, twenty twenty four,

00:00:52,759 –> 00:00:57,240
I saw my name in the list
of persons declared wanted in connection with this

12
00:00:57,479 –> 00:01:00,320
Hennio’s crime. It is a shock
to be because I do not believe in

13
00:01:00,399 –> 00:01:06,200
anything that has to do with truncating
the lives of human beings. I am

14
00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:10,959
not in any way chef or from
connected to this. Let it be stated

15
00:01:11,040 –> 00:01:15,519
clearly that even as a monarch,
I have not been able to access the

16
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:21,640
kingdom to death. I got my
staff in office of the sixteenth of November

17

00:01:49,079 –> 00:01:53,319

effaciated in court. Meanwhile, human
rights lawyer in nibehe A Film has turned

38
00:03:22,879 –> 00:03:28,039
the decision of the Defense headquarters to
declare eight persons wanted over the gruesome murder

39
00:03:28,120 –> 00:03:32,759
of seventeen soldiers in Oakuhama, Delta
State as illegal, kicking against the move

40
00:03:32,840 –> 00:03:38,520
and a post via his official ex
account on Thursday, a film suggested that

41
00:03:38,639 –> 00:03:43,639
demand munt for those responsible for the
killing of the seventeen military personnel should be

42
00:03:43,639 –> 00:03:47,840
handled by the police. He said
that it was illegal to declare anyone wanted

43
00:03:47,919 –> 00:03:53,159
without a court order, and then
that if the armed forces suspected them of

44
00:03:53,240 –> 00:03:57,599
their involvement in the moder of the
soldiers, they should have passed the information

45
00:03:57,759 –> 00:04:01,719
to the police for investigation. He
wrote, this should be handled by the

46
00:04:01,800 –> 00:04:09,759
police, not the military. We
keep mastardizing our institutions. These individuals are

47
00:04:09,759 –> 00:04:13,919
not members of the armed forces and
the alt are not subject to service law.

48
00:04:14,639 –> 00:04:18,519
It is illegal to declare anyone wanted
without a court order. If the

49
00:04:18,720 –> 00:04:24,600
Armed Forces is suspecting them of murder
or other offenses, they should have passed

50
00:04:24,639 –> 00:04:30,360
the information to the police. This
gestackle behavior has to end. Prior to

51
00:04:30,360 –> 00:04:35,360
today, I have always condemned this
act and I will continue to condemn the

52
00:04:35,439 –> 00:04:40,879
act because I believe it is wrong, It is not proper. There are

53
00:04:41,199 –> 00:04:46,600
these people who did this act,
have committed a crime against humanity. The

54
00:04:47,639 –> 00:04:51,879
people the follow sold Yes, they
have families, they are little children,

55
00:04:53,319 –> 00:04:58,879
They have wives, some of them
their families. They have wives. We

56
00:04:58,920 –> 00:05:02,720
are pregnant. I’ve deprived them of
the fat figo. It is wrong,

57
00:05:03,279 –> 00:05:08,319
it is unacceptable. I don’t believe
in that. I don’t believe in taking

58
00:05:08,360 –> 00:05:12,480
anybody’s lives because you did not make
the life. It is God Almighty who

59
00:05:12,519 –> 00:05:15,759
created life, and it is only
God who can take their life, not

60
00:05:15,959 –> 00:05:18,680
you taking another human being’s life.
All we need to do is to continue

61
00:05:18,720 –> 00:05:25,040
to add value to life. So
in all this ramification, I totally have

62
00:05:25,160 –> 00:05:28,680
vehemently condemned this. It is unacceptable, and I keep saying it, and

63
00:05:28,720 –> 00:05:31,319
I’ve been saying it, and I
will continue to do that, continue to

64
00:05:31,319 –> 00:05:38,160
say it. This morning, to
the greatest of my surprise, I saw

65
00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:44,480
my name on the list of persons
wanted in connection with this he us crime.

66
00:05:46,079 –> 00:05:50,240
It is a shock to me because
I have no hands in such sense.

67
00:05:50,680 –> 00:05:55,920
I don’t believe in anything that has
got to that has got to do

68
00:05:56,000 –> 00:06:00,240
with truncating the lives of human beings. I am not in any way,

69
00:06:00,360 –> 00:06:08,199
shape or form connected to this.
Let it be stated clearly here that I

70
00:06:08,199 –> 00:06:13,639
have I haven’t been able even as
a monarch, I haven’t been able to

71
00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:21,439
access the Kingdom till date. I
got my staff of office on the sixteenth

72
00:06:21,480 –> 00:06:27,920
of November twenty twenty three. Now
prior to getting my staff of office,

73
00:06:28,040 –> 00:06:31,240
is being turbulent. Assuming this trone
has been turbulent, I have not been

74
00:06:31,279 –> 00:06:38,160
able to access the Kingdom the need
in the Morgage
