00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:16.239
avoid crowded places as a way of
controllable security strategy for Christians and Muslims during

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:22.719
the period of Lent and Ramadan,

and Strategic Communications, Peter Afnania,
issued and men available the new security allowed

6
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:33.640
on Friday morning, few hours after
two hundred and eighty school children were kidnapped

7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.200
in Kaguna States and almost two days
after more than two hundred women were taking

8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.880
hostage in Ballustis by terrorists. The
secret Police statement titled DSS wishes Christians and

9
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.840
the Muslim Woman peaceful Lent and Ramadan
seasons reads in quotes, thus, the

10
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.399
Department of State Services d SS wishes
to identify with the Christian and Muslim freathful

11
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:04.000
at the Lent and common Ramadan seasons
respectively. Accordingly, the management extends its

12
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:11.120
heartfelt felicitations for peace, unity and
harmony to adherence of these faiths. The

13
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.439
DSS recognizes the significance of these sacred
rights and enjoins worshipers to promote understanding,

14
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:23.599
compassion, and respect for one another
during and after the exercises. It appeals

15
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.200
to stackholders to refrain from economic exploitation, sabotage or profitearium during these importance obligations.

16
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.159
This is more so that illegal practices
such as price glugen or on ethical

17
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.799
marketing tactics are on godly. They
all late funness and can undermine the true

18
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.280
essence of the holy events. As
believers, it is incumbent upon us to

19
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.760
uphold good standards and ensure that everyone
can observe the religious duties with ITAs and

20
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.719
dignity. Furthermore, the Service encourages
clerics and religious leaders to uphold empathy as

21
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:05.480
well as prioritized operation and conflict prevention
beyond the periods on their reference. Similarly,

22
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.319
the media is encouraged to utilize their
platforms to foster informed and accurate engagements

23
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:19.280
that can enhance the achievement of national
security objectives and interests. Likewise, residents

24
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.080
are advised to remain vigilant against public
dangers, especially improvised explosive devices i NSDA.

25
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.280
Also, the general public is bulged
to stay informed about potential threats,

26
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:38.120
avoid crowded or suspicious areas and reports
to relevant security agencies any strange objects,

27
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:45.199
activities and movements of hostile elements.
In the same vend the service calls for

28
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:52.560
tolerance, bonds of brotherhood, dialogue
and peaceful coexistence among the populace. Overall,

29
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.479
the Silence recommits the provision of strategic
intelligence to other sister agencies in order

30
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.800
to achieve a safe and secure country. As we undertake these spiritual journeys in

31
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.680
the Lenten and Ramadan periods, let
us remember to love and share the values

32
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.759
that unite us. Let us reaffirm
our commitments to the values of mercy,

33
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.639
tolerance, forgiveness, being our brothers
keepers among others, and by day advanced

34
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.199
more inclusive and equitable society for us
all. It will be recalled that government

35
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.960
in Nigeria kidnapped more than two hundred
and seventy school pupils in the northern town

36
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.919
of Kuriga on Thursday. A teacher, local councilor and parents of the missing

37
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.599
children said a kid not been considered
to be the biggest mass abduction from a

38
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:46.240
school since twenty twenty one. It
was gathered that the abduction happened shortly after

39
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.439
morning assembly at the Local Government Education
Authority school in the town of Kuriga,

40
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:58.159
Cardula States. The incident occurred barely
twenty four hours after insurgents abducted two hundred

41
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.120
internally displaced women in Bornu States.
The women were kidnapped in Angala, the

42
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.039
headquarters of Gambaro Angala in Bornu State, while fetching firewood in the bush.

43
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.199
The number of the kidnapped from the
secondary section, based on the statistics we

44
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.279
took together with the parents, is
one hundred and eighty seven while that of

45
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:25.000
the primary section is forty four.
Now sat Sani Abdulaihi, a home economics

46
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:30.920
teacher. According to news reports from
routers, as part of activities commemorating the

47
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:38.240
twenty twenty four International Women's Day,
wife of Nigeria President Remittingable described kidnappers as

48
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:44.920
cowards, saying they deserved death penalty. The Nigeria First Lei also noted that

49
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:50.319
anyone convicted of abduction deserves capital punishment. She said this while reacting to the

50
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:56.399
news of two hundred women who were
kidnapped in Bernu states and over two hundred

51
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.480
and eighty pupils and teachers kidnapped in
Kaduna States. Remaining Abu said, whoever

52
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.319
is kidnapping young people is sick,
cruel and the coward. Enough is enough

53
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.120
and I call on the state governors
that once we take hold of them,

54
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.199
they deserve capital punishment. Why don't
they tell people their size? Why are

55
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.959
the torturing our children? What they
are trying to do is kill our future.

56
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.959
We all know parents, when we
are old, we rely on our

57
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.720
children. Why would you go and
take them from schools right now? I

58
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.600
think enough is enough. As a
former lawmaker, I believe that any one

59
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:43.759
of them captured deserves capital punishment.
Over two hundred and eighty pupils and teachers

60
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.439
of Government Secondary School and near Primary
School at Kuriga, Calunal State were abdopted

61
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:55.240
by bandits on Thursday. The government
invaded the area, shooting sporadically before taking

62
00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:02.839
away their victims. Meanwhile, President
Bonnetingbo has Henio's incidents of abduction involving very

63
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:10.199
vulnerable victims, internally displaced persons in
Bonnu State and students in Kaduna State.

64
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:16.319
According to the presidential spokesperson, Arjury
in Guililee, the President's direct security and

65
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:23.160
intelligence agencies to immediately rescue the victims
and ensure that justice is served against the

66
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.360
perpetrators of these abominable acts. I
have received a briefing from security chiefs on

67
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.000
the two incidents and I am confident
that the victims will be rescued. Nothing

68
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:40.319
else is acceptable to me and the
waiting family members of these abducted citizens.

69
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.439
Justice will be decisively administered, President
Table says. The President sympathizes with the

70
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.079
families of the victims, assuring them
that they will soon be reunited with their

71
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:58.279
loved ones. The statement issued by
Jury Ugulile reads. The Speaker of the

72
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:04.199
House of Representatives, Avas Tajdi,
also condemned the mass abductions by suspected terrorists

73
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:10.439
and bandits in Bernu and Kaguna states
within two days. The Speaker charged the

74
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.680
military and other security agencies to go
after the abductors and rescue the victims.

75
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:24.360
According to statements issued by his spokesperses
mosa Abdulaijhikrishi. The statements indicated that suspected

76
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.879
Boko Haram members had on Wednesday stormed
an internally displaced persons comp in Gamborro,

77
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.439
a Galla town in Bornou state,
and abducted scores of the IDPs, most

78
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:39.480
of whom are women again. On
Thursday morning, bandits invaded the lay A

79
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:45.680
Primary School, Kuriga, Chicken local
Government area of Kaguna State and kidnapped scores

80
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.480
of pupils. The Speaker decried that
the attacked were coming at a time when

81
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:56.480
the troubled Northeast and Northwest were about
getting some respites from bandits and terrorists occupation

82
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.639
stiker Abbas. While praying for the
safe return of the abdoptees, urged the

83
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.759
security agencies to deploy all resources for
their rescue. The Speaker also stated that

84
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.720
the Tenth House, under his leadership, would do everything possible legislatively to increase

85
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.959
the capacity of the military and paramilitary
agencies towards security of life and property across

86
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:26.480
Nigeria. Ready greendy the need in
a more regifal way
