20
00:01:11,159 –> 00:01:15,200
in their eyes, nose, mouths

21
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:19,959
one of the military personnel keeping watch
at the popular phone market Ballett Plaza in

22

the first day following a free for

24
00:01:26,599 –> 00:01:30,719
all fight between traders and some soldiers

25
00:01:30,799 –> 00:01:34,959
lady who fell into a comma on
Tuesday was tricking on the barricaded road when

26
00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:38,879
she was stopped by soldiers. The
soldiers accosted the lady who crossed a barricade

27
00:01:38,920 –> 00:01:42,799
at the plaza. However, after
asking her some questions, one of the

28
00:01:42,840 –> 00:01:47,359
soldiers slapped her heavily and she collapsed. She was immediately rushed into a van

29
00:01:47,640 –> 00:01:51,359
which spread up. The same Punt
newspaper reports ends in court. Some her

30
00:01:51,480 –> 00:01:55,480
reporters also had stated in its report
during the week that personnel of the Nigerian

31
00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:57,799
Army have detained a shop owner identified
as Keneb. Only my teacher are who

32
00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:01,920
honored their invitation over Saturday’s clash between
some soldiers and customers at the new Bannet’s

33
00:02:01,920 –> 00:02:06,840
Plaza in Abuja, Sahara. Reporters
had reported how the Nigerian Army courts of

34
00:02:06,920 –> 00:02:10,159
military police on Saturday evening reportedly stormed
Bannet’s Plaza in Abunja and bat off passons

35
00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:14,960
they and security guards. The assort
on civilians was said to be a reprisal

36
00:02:15,080 –> 00:02:17,400
for an area free for all that
broke out between four military police Parchannel and

37
00:02:17,479 –> 00:02:23,280
some traders at the popular electronics and
telecommunications gadget market earlier on Saturday. The

38
00:02:23,360 –> 00:02:25,919
soldiers attacks on civilians and show of
force by the military police came a few

39
00:02:25,960 –> 00:02:30,199
hours after the FCIT Commissioner of Police
Bennetts Egway settled to the scuffle between the

40
00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:35,199
soldiers and the traders at the police
command. Sarha reporters guarded the army came

41
00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:38,120
back to the plaza on Monday morning
to arrest some people whom the claims were

42
00:02:38,159 –> 00:02:42,360
involved in the assauts against their officers. One of the identified people was Enophon

43
00:02:42,400 –> 00:02:46,080
Ambitional Ladoya, a trader inside the
plaza who always went to kelleed Shock to

44
00:02:46,080 –> 00:02:50,680
peak goods. During a telephone conversation
with Sarha reporters on Tuesday morning, Kelleth’s

45
00:02:50,680 –> 00:02:53,000
wife said it was because of the
trading relationship between her husband and Enophon.

46
00:02:53,039 –> 00:02:55,879
Dot Monday, army authorities invited him, which he honored. On one day

47
00:02:55,919 –> 00:03:00,599
evening, they women mentioned that the
army refused to release he is her husband

48
00:03:00,639 –> 00:03:04,919
and continue to brutalize him without any
charges. She added that her husband is

49
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:08,599
currently being judged at Mambilla baratts Atsukoro
and the army authorities did not allow any

50
00:03:08,639 –> 00:03:13,560
of his relatives to visit him.
She said, my husband called me yesterday

51
00:03:13,599 –> 00:03:15,479
that his name was given out to
the army saying he was among those that

52
00:03:15,639 –> 00:03:19,639
for them. He said he told
them that he had nothing to do with

53
00:03:19,759 –> 00:03:23,199
the situation. He was later asked
to conceal them, which he honored and

54
00:03:23,319 –> 00:03:25,439
since then but killed him at Mambilla
Baratts at the air detail room. I

55
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:29,719
just feel both through a C.
S. Sortry and I had to find

56
00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:31,840
him through his life location, but
but didn’t let me see him. They

57
00:03:31,919 –> 00:03:35,960
sent me away. Last night he
texted me that the touch of him so

58
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:39,560
badly and broke his foot, she
added. Saray protestated in court. Nigerian

59
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:44,479
Army spokesperson Nature General on Nima Muchukuk, in a statement issued on Tuesday,

60
00:03:44,520 –> 00:03:47,479
started in court below following the reasons
on rest at Barnet’s Plaza in Busse,

61
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:52,400
Abuja on Saturday, the eighteenth of
the twenty twenty four by yet to be

62
00:03:52,439 –> 00:03:55,879
identified humans who launched the brutal attack
on some Nigerian Army parcedel. A sweet

63
00:03:55,919 –> 00:04:00,240
intervention by soldiers and policemen on internal
security duties solved the situation and rescue the

64
00:04:00,240 –> 00:04:03,919
attacked parcible from being lynched by the
hood loops. It is important to note

65
00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:08,599
that the soldiers attacked were unarmed,
did not engage in any form of aggression

66
00:04:08,840 –> 00:04:12,840
and posed no threats to anyone.
Therefore, the croal treatment meitted out to

67
00:04:12,879 –> 00:04:16,680
them was entirely unwarranted and unstifiable.
In response to this unfortunate incident, a

68
00:04:16,759 –> 00:04:20,920
meting was convened with the management of
Bannet’s Plaza to identify and apprehend the perpetrators

69
00:04:20,920 –> 00:04:25,399
of those henius up by temporarily shutting
down activities in the plaza to ensure that

70
00:04:25,439 –> 00:04:28,480
the hood loops who have been using
the Bannet’s neighborhood as a sanctory to pose

71
00:04:28,480 –> 00:04:32,120
a security threat to the Federal Capital
Territory where apprehended. This is in furtherance

72
00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:35,600
of the need for extensive investigation to
be conducted at the same to determine both

73
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:41,480
the immediates and underlying causes of this
mayhem. This investigation ultimately ends at assuring

74
00:04:41,519 –> 00:04:44,920
the security of the Federal Capital Territory
and to prevent such from warranted attacks on

75
00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:48,160
own personnel and other security operatives as
has been observed in other areas such as

76
00:04:48,199 –> 00:04:53,600
the unfortunate attack in Okuama. The
Nigerian Army will equally ensure that if religantly

77
00:04:53,639 –> 00:04:57,480
investigates the circumstances surrounding the presence of
the personeil at the plaza and the attack

78
00:04:57,519 –> 00:05:01,560
that ensued. Nonetheless, such acts
violence against Parsolil are not only condemnable,

79
00:05:01,800 –> 00:05:06,240
but comes degenerate to a breakdown of
law and order orchestrating threats to national security.

80
00:05:06,720 –> 00:05:11,800
Accordingly, the area enjoints members of
the public to exercise couation and restraints

81
00:05:11,839 –> 00:05:15,720
in dealing with military persilile and other
security operatives, especially when they are in

82
00:05:15,879 –> 00:05:19,360
uniform. There are established channels through
which creevances or miscalled up by Pasileil could

83
00:05:19,399 –> 00:05:24,680
be reported to the appropriate authorities.
It is imperative that these channels are utilized

84
00:05:24,680 –> 00:05:28,240
to maintain other and respect for those
who serve and protect our nation. As

85
00:05:28,319 –> 00:05:30,759
at the time of filing induce reports
on Thursday evening, the Bannet’s Plaza was

86
00:05:30,759 –> 00:05:33,800
still shut down and military consulil we
are said to remain in the markets as

87
00:05:33,839 –> 00:05:41,160
military duty posts. Very good Rena
in a more region now way.
