WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.919 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.320 with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United 3 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.320 States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will 4 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.000 meet with him next week Friday in the U S 5 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.719 state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the 6 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.239 White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of 7 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.440 territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically 8 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.239 saying we will get some back and we will get 9 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.920 some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to 10 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.280 the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently 11 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.479 drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who 12 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.159 have issued series of video and written press releases since 13 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.399 President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will 14 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.920 not see any of its territory to Russia for the 15 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.200 purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that 16 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.399 it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory 17 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.880 in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders were 18 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.960 without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war 19 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.920 with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path 20 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.400 to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. 21 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.159 This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and 22 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.719 a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, 23 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.959 cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, 24 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.159 the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the 25 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.640 United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia 26 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.719 will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, 27 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.000 in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. 28 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.599 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in 29 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.400 a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have 30 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.920 not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to 31 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.599 ensure that the war ends. The President of the United 32 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.920 States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported 33 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.280 all of President Trump's proposals starting back in February cease fire, 34 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.240 all formats have been supported. What is needed now is 35 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759 not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece, 36 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.719 not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months, 37 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.360 but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully 38 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.240 support it. There must be a just end to the war, 39 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.560 and it is Russia that must end the war it 40 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.759 started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of 41 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.120 the need for a cease fire, for an end to 42 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.439 the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten. 43 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.639 His only card is the ability to kill, and he 44 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.120 is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the 45 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.919 highest possible price. It is important that this does not 46 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.319 mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level, 47 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.719 dignified results, results that will save lives that the world 48 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.199 will value and for which it will be grateful to 49 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.879 the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics. 50 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.520 He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them. 51 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.639 He wants to exchange appalls in the war in the 52 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.120 killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land. 53 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.560 He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time, 54 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.280 Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to 55 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.639 the occupation in Daniesk and Luhnsk regions. He received no 56 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.719 preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders. 57 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.800 This led to the full scale war and the occupation 58 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.639 of even more parts of Ukraine. Now Putin wants to 59 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.680 be forgiven for seizing the south of our curson region Zaporigia, 60 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.240 the entire territory of Luhansk and Danyesk regions, and Crimea. 61 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.919 We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine, 62 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.280 knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be 63 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.039 a third. That is why we stand firm on clear 64 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.840 Ukrainian positions. We must end the war with a dignified 65 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.960 peace based on a clear and reliable security architecture. Our 66 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.759 partners are ready to help us with this. We have 67 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.439 just had a report from our team in the UK 68 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.360 from Andrew Yermick. There were talks among the security representatives 69 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.720 of the US and Europe, Ukraine, the US Vice President, Vance, 70 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:26.040 the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Poland. The meeting was constructive. 71 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.240 The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together 72 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.720 with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint 73 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.920 approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a 74 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.959 consolidated position, cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. 75 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.360 Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace. 76 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.000 Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are 77 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.439 without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace, 78 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.199 they will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They 79 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.319 are unworkable decisions, and we all need real and genuine peace, 80 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:07.160 peace that people will respect. President Trump announced preparations for 81 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.639 his meeting with Putin in Alaska, very far away from 82 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.480 this war which is raging on our land against our people, 83 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.279 and which anyway can't be ended without us without Ukraine. 84 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.680 Putin did not believe in our people and therefore made 85 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.399 the hopeless decision to try to take Ukraine. This was 86 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.720 his main mistake, not taking Ukrainians into account. I believe 87 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.560 in our people. Ukrainians are strong. Ukrainians defend what's theirs. 88 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.079 Many in the world have sided with Ukraine during the war. 89 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.879 Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is 90 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.839 doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for 91 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.600 what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace, but 92 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.680 all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This 93 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.519 war must be brought to an end, and Russia must 94 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.800 end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out, 95 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.079 ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else. 96 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.360 The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in 97 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.480 the constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this 98 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.399 and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not 99 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.319 give their land to the occupier. We are ready to 100 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.040 work together with President Trump, together with all our partners, 101 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.639 for realand most importantly lasting peace, a piece that will 102 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.399 not collapse because of Moscow's desires. I thank all our 103 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.160 people for being together. Ukraine is I thank all our 104 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.079 soldiers for preserving our independence. Stand firm. This is our land. 105 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.079 We are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. There is already a 106 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.360 lot of support and it comes in the new circumstances. 107 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.279 With a deadline now set for Russia to cease fire. 108 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.879 So far we see that the Russians are ignoring it, 109 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.120 at least for now. Today has once again brought killings 110 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.360 and Russian shelling. Over a hun hundred strike drones were 111 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.120 launched overnight against Ukraine, followed during the day by air 112 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.560 bomb strikes, intense assaults on the front line, and yet 113 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.120 more air raid alerts in our cities and communities. No 114 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.040 orders to stop have been given to the Russian Army. 115 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.399 We are speaking with our partners to ensure real steps 116 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.959 are taken. We are in constant communication with the American side, 117 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.639 and our partners, for their part, are also engaging with 118 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.560 the United States. All are united in the understanding that 119 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.199 there is a chance to achieve at least a cease fire, 120 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.319 and that everything depends on the right pressure on Russia. 121 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.920 I had a good conversation with President of Finland Alexander Staff. 122 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.839 We are coordinating positions for the most productive joint work 123 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.000 with America. It is important that America has the determination 124 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.800 and the ability to end the war, and we welcome 125 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.600 President Trump's desire to stop the killings. To respond to 126 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.519 Russia's intention to prolong the war and seize territorial spoils, 127 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.399 must act wisely and in coordination. Thank you for your support, Alexander. 128 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.839 Ukraine and Finland have the longest borders with Russia in Europe, 129 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.040 and our people know very well what threats this brings. 130 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.399 We agreed to continue working together for our common security. 131 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.319 I spoke with uk Prime Minister kir Starmer. I am 132 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.439 grateful for the support. We share the same view on 133 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.160 the need for a truly lasting piece for Ukraine and 134 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.079 on the danger of Russia's plan to reduce everything to 135 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:34.360 discussing the impossible. Clear steps are needed as well as 136 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.440 maximum co ordination between US and our partners. We value 137 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.399 the determination of the United Kingdom, the United States, and 138 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.799 all our partners to end the war. We are actively 139 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.480 working for constructive diplomacy and to ensure that the decisions 140 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.840 can work. We agreed on further contacts. I spoke with 141 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.879 Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez. I am grateful for 142 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.559 Spain's support for Ukraine and our Pea. I informed about 143 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.600 the diplomatic situation and our contacts with partners, and shared 144 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.399 our vision of what the next steps should be. The 145 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.000 main thing now is to ensure that Russia does not 146 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.399 once again impose its unrealistic conditions on anyone. It is 147 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.159 important that Pedro and I share the same view. Europe's 148 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.039 voice must be taken into account. We are coordinating our 149 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.600 common European position. We are ready to move as quickly 150 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.720 and constructively as possible toward a just piece. We also 151 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:36.039 discussed Ukraine's path toward European integration. Ukraine has fulfilled all 152 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.000 its obligations and is fully ready to open the first 153 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:44.120 negotiating cluster. We discussed possible options and will look for solutions. 154 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.080 We agreed to stay in touch. Thank you. I spoke 155 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.879 with President of France Emmanuel Macron. I am grateful for 156 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.960 the support. We exchanged views on the diplomatic situation Ukraine, 157 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.879 France and all our partners are ready to work as 158 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.600 productively as possible for the sake of real peace. It 159 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.639 is truly important that the Russians do not succeed in 160 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.360 deceiving anyone again. We all need a genuine end to 161 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.039 the war and reliable security foundations for Ukraine and other 162 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:19.600 European nations. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Denmark Metafredericksen. 163 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.519 I am grateful for the support. We discuss the diplomatic 164 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:28.639 situation and communication with partners both hours and metas these 165 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.639 days diplomatic activity is extremely high. However, we see no 166 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.480 changes in Russia's position. The Russians still refuse to stop 167 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.639 the killings, still invest in the war, and still push 168 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.600 the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory with 169 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.799 consequences that guarantee nothing accept more favorable positions for Russia 170 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.320 to resume the war. All our steps must bring us 171 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.879 closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration, 172 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.720 and our joint decisions with partners must serve our common security. 173 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.720 We also discussed with Meta our work toward EU membership 174 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.120 and the progress on this path for both Ukraine and Moldova. 175 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.799 We share the same view on the need for a 176 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.080 fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for Ukraine and 177 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:27.080 Moldova together. Thank you, Binni. Nigeria Police Force has refuted 178 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.360 claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter's publisher, 179 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.799 Amile Saware inside cell after the media personnel honored the 180 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.360 invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General 181 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.759 of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation 182 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.960 of characters, with the police stating in a press release 183 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.480 signed and made available after the detained media publisher was 184 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.919 released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside 185 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.000 other personal items when he came to the station to 186 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.000 honor the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal 187 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.200 investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured 188 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.840 as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the 189 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.600 Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand 190 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.960 he had claimed he suffered as a result of the 191 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.639 police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the 192 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.919 time Sware was released on Friday night, bandages were still 193 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.559 seen wrapped around one of his hands, a scene in 194 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.399 the video while he was coming out from the IGP 195 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.360 Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as 196 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.360 stated by Sware in the video. Shortly after his release 197 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.919 from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday, 198 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.759 Saware posted on his social media handles and said that 199 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.320 freedom is never given. It is not a gift from 200 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.759 the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor. 201 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.799 It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and 202 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.399 with collective will. Those who sit in power never give 203 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.960 it up willingly. That's why we take it back, because 204 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.440 freedom is ours and we will fight until it is 205 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.840 no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force, 206 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.000 in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five, 207 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.039 and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police 208 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.440 Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave 209 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.159 of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest 210 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:31.480 and detention of mister on Yale Saware, a figure known 211 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.799 for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state 212 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.759 institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector 213 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.799 General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister 214 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.519 Sirware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal 215 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.240 offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under 216 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.600 active investigation. The arrest was effected in full compliance with 217 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:04.559 extrame and legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards, 218 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.840 due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear, 219 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.080 Mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight 220 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.200 hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section 221 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.200 thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of 222 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:25.320 the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. He is fully 223 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.200 aware of the nature of the allegations against him and 224 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:32.039 has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected 225 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.120 to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the 226 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.080 coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful 227 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:43.159 and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is 228 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.519 the narrative suggesting that mister Sare was tortured or subjected 229 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.240 to any form of inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody. 230 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.720 The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero tolerance policy for 231 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.200 torture in alignment with the provisions of the Anti Torture 232 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.879 Act twenty seventeen and in fulfillment of Nigeria's obligations under 233 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.679 applicable international human rights instruments. The viral image of mister 234 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.559 s Ware with a bandaged arm has been mischievously presented 235 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.960 to mislead the public and stir unwarranted outrage. For the record, 236 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.320 the bandage was part of his personal belongings at the time. 237 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.759 He honored the police's invitation prior to his arrest and 238 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.159 detention in any case, Upon receiving the report that mister 239 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.399 s Ware was later seen wearing the bandage while in custody, 240 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.519 the Inspector General of Police promptly ordered an internal investigation 241 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.559 to ascertain how he had access to it during detention, 242 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.879 particularly in light of his consistent refusal to undergo medical 243 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.399 examination by the independent teams deployed by the police. This 244 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.679 proactive step underscores the igp's unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism 245 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:59.480 and strict adherents to established custodial protocols. In the spirit 246 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.639 of accountability and transparency, the Force promptly responded to the 247 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.519 claims of brutality by dispatching a medical team led by 248 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.320 the medical Director of the Mahammadu Buhari Police Hospital to 249 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.879 conduct an independent examination. On the seventh of August twenty 250 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:20.799 twenty five. Mister Sirware declined the evaluation. A second medical team, 251 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.279 this time led by the Force Medical Officer, was sent 252 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.279 on the eighth of August twenty twenty five, and again 253 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.799 access was denied by the suspect. These refusals are officially documented. 254 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.240 While the police respect the individual's right to decline medical assessment, 255 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.879 the record must show that the opportunity for independent medical 256 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:46.440 verification was twice provided and twice rejected. Furthermore, his continued 257 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.720 detention is not arbitrary. It is anchored on a valid 258 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:54.159 remand order issued by a competent court of jurisdiction. Every 259 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.320 action taken by the Nigeria Police Force in this matter 260 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.679 has been underpinned by legal authority devoid of malice, bias 261 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:06.839 or political undertones. The Force urges the media, civil society 262 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.200 actors and the public to exercise greater diligence, restraint and 263 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.440 professional responsibility in their reporting. Sensationalism, particularly when driven by 264 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.400 those with personal vendettas against the police leadership, poses a 265 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.480 clear risk to public trust and the integrity of ongoing investigations. 266 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.960 The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the 267 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.319 protection of human rights, respect for the rule of law, 268 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.880 and the pursuit of justice without fear or favor. No individual, 269 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.440 regardless of their status, influence, or social media reach, is 270 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.039 above the law. Further updates on this matter will be 271 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.680 provided as investigations proceed in accordance with due process. We 272 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.960 had reported that the human rights activist and founder of 273 00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:00.720 Sahaa Reporters News Network, Emiele Saware, has been reportedly unhandled 274 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.720 on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices from 275 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.039 the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the 276 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.240 journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of 277 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.359 the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated, 278 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.200 but the media personnel working with Omi La Sware in 279 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.240 a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal 280 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.279 social media handles of Saware said that the police presented 281 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.720 two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and defamation of character, 282 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.160 adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit 283 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.440 as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Saware 284 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.519 cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged 285 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.839 pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when 286 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.079 the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he 287 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.519 was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen. 288 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:58.880 This Barrister adianju Deji petition the President of Nigeria, Bola 289 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:03.839 Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode 290 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.759 Eggbatoken for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his 291 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.759 high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to settle 292 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.079 personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted 293 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.559 to these allegations, but the force in a press release 294 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.599 on Thursday afternoon apparently made statements in relation to the 295 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:28.799 current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiele Saware, by 296 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.640 insisting in stating in the press statement that the recent 297 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:36.160 promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit 298 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.680 are not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly 299 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.119 sponsoring deliberate falsehood to tarnish the image of the force, 300 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.279 while also calling on offices and men of the force 301 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.200 to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP 302 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.480 has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get 303 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.039 promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. 304 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:07.160 Ladies and gentlemen, this is uh me here and I've 305 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.359 just been released by the police.
