Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls
Speaker 1: with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United
Speaker 1: States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will
Speaker 1: meet with him next week Friday in the U S
Speaker 1: state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the
Speaker 1: White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of
Speaker 1: territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically
Speaker 1: saying we will get some back and we will get
Speaker 1: some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to
Speaker 1: the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently
Speaker 1: drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who
Speaker 1: have issued series of video and written press releases since
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will
Speaker 1: not see any of its territory to Russia for the
Speaker 1: purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that
Speaker 1: it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory
Speaker 1: in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders were
Speaker 1: without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war
Speaker 1: with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path
Speaker 1: to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine.
Speaker 1: This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and
Speaker 1: a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position,
Speaker 1: cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump,
Speaker 1: the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the
Speaker 1: United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia
Speaker 1: will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in
Speaker 1: a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have
Speaker 1: not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to
Speaker 1: ensure that the war ends. The President of the United
Speaker 1: States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported
Speaker 1: all of President Trump's proposals starting back in February cease fire,
Speaker 1: all formats have been supported. What is needed now is
Speaker 1: not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece,
Speaker 1: not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,
Speaker 1: but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully
Speaker 1: support it. There must be a just end to the war,
Speaker 1: and it is Russia that must end the war it
Speaker 1: started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of
Speaker 1: the need for a cease fire, for an end to
Speaker 1: the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.
Speaker 1: His only card is the ability to kill, and he
Speaker 1: is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the
Speaker 1: highest possible price. It is important that this does not
Speaker 1: mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level,
Speaker 1: dignified results, results that will save lives that the world
Speaker 1: will value and for which it will be grateful to
Speaker 1: the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics.
Speaker 1: He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.
Speaker 1: He wants to exchange appalls in the war in the
Speaker 1: killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.
Speaker 1: He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,
Speaker 1: Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to
Speaker 1: the occupation in Daniesk and Luhnsk regions. He received no
Speaker 1: preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.
Speaker 1: This led to the full scale war and the occupation
Speaker 1: of even more parts of Ukraine. Now Putin wants to
Speaker 1: be forgiven for seizing the south of our curson region Zaporigia,
Speaker 1: the entire territory of Luhansk and Danyesk regions, and Crimea.
Speaker 1: We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine,
Speaker 1: knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be
Speaker 1: a third. That is why we stand firm on clear
Speaker 1: Ukrainian positions. We must end the war with a dignified
Speaker 1: peace based on a clear and reliable security architecture. Our
Speaker 1: partners are ready to help us with this. We have
Speaker 1: just had a report from our team in the UK
Speaker 1: from Andrew Yermick. There were talks among the security representatives
Speaker 1: of the US and Europe, Ukraine, the US Vice President, Vance,
Speaker 1: the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Poland. The meeting was constructive.
Speaker 1: The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together
Speaker 1: with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint
Speaker 1: approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a
Speaker 1: consolidated position, cease fire, end of occupation, end of war.
Speaker 1: Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace.
Speaker 1: Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are
Speaker 1: without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace,
Speaker 1: they will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They
Speaker 1: are unworkable decisions, and we all need real and genuine peace,
Speaker 1: peace that people will respect. President Trump announced preparations for
Speaker 1: his meeting with Putin in Alaska, very far away from
Speaker 1: this war which is raging on our land against our people,
Speaker 1: and which anyway can't be ended without us without Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Putin did not believe in our people and therefore made
Speaker 1: the hopeless decision to try to take Ukraine. This was
Speaker 1: his main mistake, not taking Ukrainians into account. I believe
Speaker 1: in our people. Ukrainians are strong. Ukrainians defend what's theirs.
Speaker 1: Many in the world have sided with Ukraine during the war.
Speaker 1: Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is
Speaker 1: doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for
Speaker 1: what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace, but
Speaker 1: all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This
Speaker 1: war must be brought to an end, and Russia must
Speaker 1: end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out,
Speaker 1: ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.
Speaker 1: The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in
Speaker 1: the constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this
Speaker 1: and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not
Speaker 1: give their land to the occupier. We are ready to
Speaker 1: work together with President Trump, together with all our partners,
Speaker 1: for realand most importantly lasting peace, a piece that will
Speaker 1: not collapse because of Moscow's desires. I thank all our
Speaker 1: people for being together. Ukraine is I thank all our
Speaker 1: soldiers for preserving our independence. Stand firm. This is our land.
Speaker 1: We are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. There is already a
Speaker 1: lot of support and it comes in the new circumstances.
Speaker 1: With a deadline now set for Russia to cease fire.
Speaker 1: So far we see that the Russians are ignoring it,
Speaker 1: at least for now. Today has once again brought killings
Speaker 1: and Russian shelling. Over a hun hundred strike drones were
Speaker 1: launched overnight against Ukraine, followed during the day by air
Speaker 1: bomb strikes, intense assaults on the front line, and yet
Speaker 1: more air raid alerts in our cities and communities. No
Speaker 1: orders to stop have been given to the Russian Army.
Speaker 1: We are speaking with our partners to ensure real steps
Speaker 1: are taken. We are in constant communication with the American side,
Speaker 1: and our partners, for their part, are also engaging with
Speaker 1: the United States. All are united in the understanding that
Speaker 1: there is a chance to achieve at least a cease fire,
Speaker 1: and that everything depends on the right pressure on Russia.
Speaker 1: I had a good conversation with President of Finland Alexander Staff.
Speaker 1: We are coordinating positions for the most productive joint work
Speaker 1: with America. It is important that America has the determination
Speaker 1: and the ability to end the war, and we welcome
Speaker 1: President Trump's desire to stop the killings. To respond to
Speaker 1: Russia's intention to prolong the war and seize territorial spoils,
Speaker 1: must act wisely and in coordination. Thank you for your support, Alexander.
Speaker 1: Ukraine and Finland have the longest borders with Russia in Europe,
Speaker 1: and our people know very well what threats this brings.
Speaker 1: We agreed to continue working together for our common security.
Speaker 1: I spoke with uk Prime Minister kir Starmer. I am
Speaker 1: grateful for the support. We share the same view on
Speaker 1: the need for a truly lasting piece for Ukraine and
Speaker 1: on the danger of Russia's plan to reduce everything to
Speaker 1: discussing the impossible. Clear steps are needed as well as
Speaker 1: maximum co ordination between US and our partners. We value
Speaker 1: the determination of the United Kingdom, the United States, and
Speaker 1: all our partners to end the war. We are actively
Speaker 1: working for constructive diplomacy and to ensure that the decisions
Speaker 1: can work. We agreed on further contacts. I spoke with
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez. I am grateful for
Speaker 1: Spain's support for Ukraine and our Pea. I informed about
Speaker 1: the diplomatic situation and our contacts with partners, and shared
Speaker 1: our vision of what the next steps should be. The
Speaker 1: main thing now is to ensure that Russia does not
Speaker 1: once again impose its unrealistic conditions on anyone. It is
Speaker 1: important that Pedro and I share the same view. Europe's
Speaker 1: voice must be taken into account. We are coordinating our
Speaker 1: common European position. We are ready to move as quickly
Speaker 1: and constructively as possible toward a just piece. We also
Speaker 1: discussed Ukraine's path toward European integration. Ukraine has fulfilled all
Speaker 1: its obligations and is fully ready to open the first
Speaker 1: negotiating cluster. We discussed possible options and will look for solutions.
Speaker 1: We agreed to stay in touch. Thank you. I spoke
Speaker 1: with President of France Emmanuel Macron. I am grateful for
Speaker 1: the support. We exchanged views on the diplomatic situation Ukraine,
Speaker 1: France and all our partners are ready to work as
Speaker 1: productively as possible for the sake of real peace. It
Speaker 1: is truly important that the Russians do not succeed in
Speaker 1: deceiving anyone again. We all need a genuine end to
Speaker 1: the war and reliable security foundations for Ukraine and other
Speaker 1: European nations. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Denmark Metafredericksen.
Speaker 1: I am grateful for the support. We discuss the diplomatic
Speaker 1: situation and communication with partners both hours and metas these
Speaker 1: days diplomatic activity is extremely high. However, we see no
Speaker 1: changes in Russia's position. The Russians still refuse to stop
Speaker 1: the killings, still invest in the war, and still push
Speaker 1: the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory with
Speaker 1: consequences that guarantee nothing accept more favorable positions for Russia
Speaker 1: to resume the war. All our steps must bring us
Speaker 1: closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration,
Speaker 1: and our joint decisions with partners must serve our common security.
Speaker 1: We also discussed with Meta our work toward EU membership
Speaker 1: and the progress on this path for both Ukraine and Moldova.
Speaker 1: We share the same view on the need for a
Speaker 1: fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for Ukraine and
Speaker 1: Moldova together. Thank you, Binni. Nigeria Police Force has refuted
Speaker 1: claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter's publisher,
Speaker 1: Amile Saware inside cell after the media personnel honored the
Speaker 1: invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General
Speaker 1: of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation
Speaker 1: of characters, with the police stating in a press release
Speaker 1: signed and made available after the detained media publisher was
Speaker 1: released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside
Speaker 1: other personal items when he came to the station to
Speaker 1: honor the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal
Speaker 1: investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured
Speaker 1: as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand
Speaker 1: he had claimed he suffered as a result of the
Speaker 1: police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the
Speaker 1: time Sware was released on Friday night, bandages were still
Speaker 1: seen wrapped around one of his hands, a scene in
Speaker 1: the video while he was coming out from the IGP
Speaker 1: Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as
Speaker 1: stated by Sware in the video. Shortly after his release
Speaker 1: from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday,
Speaker 1: Saware posted on his social media handles and said that
Speaker 1: freedom is never given. It is not a gift from
Speaker 1: the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor.
Speaker 1: It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and
Speaker 1: with collective will. Those who sit in power never give
Speaker 1: it up willingly. That's why we take it back, because
Speaker 1: freedom is ours and we will fight until it is
Speaker 1: no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force,
Speaker 1: in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police
Speaker 1: Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave
Speaker 1: of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest
Speaker 1: and detention of mister on Yale Saware, a figure known
Speaker 1: for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state
Speaker 1: institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector
Speaker 1: General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister
Speaker 1: Sirware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal
Speaker 1: offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under
Speaker 1: active investigation. The arrest was effected in full compliance with
Speaker 1: extrame and legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards,
Speaker 1: due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear,
Speaker 1: Mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight
Speaker 1: hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section
Speaker 1: thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of
Speaker 1: the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. He is fully
Speaker 1: aware of the nature of the allegations against him and
Speaker 1: has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected
Speaker 1: to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the
Speaker 1: coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful
Speaker 1: and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is
Speaker 1: the narrative suggesting that mister Sare was tortured or subjected
Speaker 1: to any form of inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody.
Speaker 1: The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero tolerance policy for
Speaker 1: torture in alignment with the provisions of the Anti Torture
Speaker 1: Act twenty seventeen and in fulfillment of Nigeria's obligations under
Speaker 1: applicable international human rights instruments. The viral image of mister
Speaker 1: s Ware with a bandaged arm has been mischievously presented
Speaker 1: to mislead the public and stir unwarranted outrage. For the record,
Speaker 1: the bandage was part of his personal belongings at the time.
Speaker 1: He honored the police's invitation prior to his arrest and
Speaker 1: detention in any case, Upon receiving the report that mister
Speaker 1: s Ware was later seen wearing the bandage while in custody,
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of Police promptly ordered an internal investigation
Speaker 1: to ascertain how he had access to it during detention,
Speaker 1: particularly in light of his consistent refusal to undergo medical
Speaker 1: examination by the independent teams deployed by the police. This
Speaker 1: proactive step underscores the igp's unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism
Speaker 1: and strict adherents to established custodial protocols. In the spirit
Speaker 1: of accountability and transparency, the Force promptly responded to the
Speaker 1: claims of brutality by dispatching a medical team led by
Speaker 1: the medical Director of the Mahammadu Buhari Police Hospital to
Speaker 1: conduct an independent examination. On the seventh of August twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. Mister Sirware declined the evaluation. A second medical team,
Speaker 1: this time led by the Force Medical Officer, was sent
Speaker 1: on the eighth of August twenty twenty five, and again
Speaker 1: access was denied by the suspect. These refusals are officially documented.
Speaker 1: While the police respect the individual's right to decline medical assessment,
Speaker 1: the record must show that the opportunity for independent medical
Speaker 1: verification was twice provided and twice rejected. Furthermore, his continued
Speaker 1: detention is not arbitrary. It is anchored on a valid
Speaker 1: remand order issued by a competent court of jurisdiction. Every
Speaker 1: action taken by the Nigeria Police Force in this matter
Speaker 1: has been underpinned by legal authority devoid of malice, bias
Speaker 1: or political undertones. The Force urges the media, civil society
Speaker 1: actors and the public to exercise greater diligence, restraint and
Speaker 1: professional responsibility in their reporting. Sensationalism, particularly when driven by
Speaker 1: those with personal vendettas against the police leadership, poses a
Speaker 1: clear risk to public trust and the integrity of ongoing investigations.
Speaker 1: The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the
Speaker 1: protection of human rights, respect for the rule of law,
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of justice without fear or favor. No individual,
Speaker 1: regardless of their status, influence, or social media reach, is
Speaker 1: above the law. Further updates on this matter will be
Speaker 1: provided as investigations proceed in accordance with due process. We
Speaker 1: had reported that the human rights activist and founder of
Speaker 1: Sahaa Reporters News Network, Emiele Saware, has been reportedly unhandled
Speaker 1: on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices from
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the
Speaker 1: journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated,
Speaker 1: but the media personnel working with Omi La Sware in
Speaker 1: a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal
Speaker 1: social media handles of Saware said that the police presented
Speaker 1: two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and defamation of character,
Speaker 1: adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit
Speaker 1: as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Saware
Speaker 1: cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged
Speaker 1: pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when
Speaker 1: the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he
Speaker 1: was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen.
Speaker 1: This Barrister adianju Deji petition the President of Nigeria, Bola
Speaker 1: Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode
Speaker 1: Eggbatoken for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his
Speaker 1: high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to settle
Speaker 1: personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted
Speaker 1: to these allegations, but the force in a press release
Speaker 1: on Thursday afternoon apparently made statements in relation to the
Speaker 1: current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiele Saware, by
Speaker 1: insisting in stating in the press statement that the recent
Speaker 1: promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit
Speaker 1: are not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly
Speaker 1: sponsoring deliberate falsehood to tarnish the image of the force,
Speaker 1: while also calling on offices and men of the force
Speaker 1: to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP
Speaker 1: has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get
Speaker 1: promotion will be made to face disciplinary action.

Speaker 1: The human right activist and founder of Sahara Reporters News Network,
Speaker 1: Omila Saware has been reportedly man handled on Thursday early
Speaker 1: warning inside police cell by offices from the Inspector General
Speaker 1: of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the
Speaker 1: invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General
Speaker 1: of Police for a reason not stated, but the media
Speaker 1: personnel working with Omila Sware, in a statement on Thursday
Speaker 1: made available through the verified personal social media handles of Saware,
Speaker 1: said that the police presented two petitions against Sware over
Speaker 1: alleged forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police
Speaker 1: officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six
Speaker 1: a m. On Thursday entered Soware Cell at the Force
Speaker 1: Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the
Speaker 1: media publisher to court, but when the journalist demanded to
Speaker 1: see the charges against him, he was allegedly handled roughly
Speaker 1: by a team of armed policemen. This barrister Addi andju
Speaker 1: Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tenubu, demanding
Speaker 1: the immediate dismissal of the IGP, Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly
Speaker 1: abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office
Speaker 1: in the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores. Although
Speaker 1: the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations,
Speaker 1: but the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon,
Speaker 1: apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving
Speaker 1: the detained media publisher, Omiyele Saware by insisting and stating
Speaker 1: in the press statement that the recent promotions in the
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police Force was based on merit and not selective,
Speaker 1: accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods
Speaker 1: to tarnish the image of the force, while also calling
Speaker 1: on offices and men of the force to desist from
Speaker 1: lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that
Speaker 1: any police personnel court lobbying to get promotion will be
Speaker 1: made to face disciplinary action. According to the post published
Speaker 1: via saware social media handles, the media team of the
Speaker 1: publisher said this morning at six a m. A police
Speaker 1: team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the
Speaker 1: IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Saware cell
Speaker 1: at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming they were
Speaker 1: taking him to court. The team of nine offices, including
Speaker 1: eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sawar roughly when he asked
Speaker 1: to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his
Speaker 1: arm in the process, before taking him to another police facility,
Speaker 1: the media team stated. In another post, the media said
Speaker 1: the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin fakaray Day presented
Speaker 1: two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp's office, one
Speaker 1: alleged forgery and the second written by Bukolayemis Kuttie, who
Speaker 1: was promoted to ACP because she's mistress, alleges criminal defamation.
Speaker 1: So Morrey had before honoring the police invitation on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: said in a number of posts previous day that the
Speaker 1: IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at
Speaker 1: eleven a m. Yet they have refused to provide a
Speaker 1: copy of the purported petition against me. It is now
Speaker 1: clear that their intention is to conceal the sinister plan
Speaker 1: of the Illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness. Despite this,
Speaker 1: I will honor the invitation good, not alone. I will
Speaker 1: be going with a full house to all our revolutionary comrades.
Speaker 1: As always we moved together. Let every freedom fighter, every
Speaker 1: citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance assemble early tomorrow
Speaker 1: at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja. Revolutiono hegg
Speaker 1: Beetoken Musco. They say the illegal IGP spoke to day
Speaker 1: and send fresh threats against us. We heard that the
Speaker 1: illegal Inspector General of Police, Coyode Eggbetoken has issued fresh threats.
Speaker 1: But even his voice betrays him. His voice was cracked
Speaker 1: by incompetence, weighed down by immorality, nepotism, favoritism, tribalism. It
Speaker 1: was worn thin by the burden of failed leadership. We
Speaker 1: are Nigerian citizens who have faced down tyrants, dictators and
Speaker 1: power drunk men in and out of uniform. We've survived
Speaker 1: worse and we've conquered no amount of intimidation, propaganda or
Speaker 1: empty threats can shake our resolve or derail our desire
Speaker 1: for a better, just and dignified society. Aluter Continuer. The
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police Force, in a statement signed and made available
Speaker 1: by the force spokesperson, DCP On Luminua had A Jobbi,
Speaker 1: said the Nigeria Police Force has observed with concern the
Speaker 1: growing wave of lobbying and unofficial requests directed at the
Speaker 1: Inspector General of Police and the Police Service commissioned by
Speaker 1: certain offs seeking special promotions. This surge was triggered by
Speaker 1: the misinformation being spread by certain media platforms following the
Speaker 1: recent approval of accelerated promotions for a number of deserving
Speaker 1: offices who have distinguished themselves through exemporary service. The Force
Speaker 1: wishes to categorically state that these accelerated promotions were not arbitrary,
Speaker 1: but were part of a well structured reward system set
Speaker 1: up by the police leadership aimed at recognizing offices who
Speaker 1: have demonstrated outstanding performance uncommon bravery, professional excellence and commitment
Speaker 1: to duty in the offices who benefited with those who
Speaker 1: met the standardized guidelines for such accelerated promotion. The recent
Speaker 1: exercise does not signify the commencement of a general or
Speaker 1: indiscriminate special promotion scheme. In light of recent misleading reports
Speaker 1: sponsored by a particular online platform suggesting that the Police
Speaker 1: Force has initiated arbitrary promotions, the Nigeria Police Force firmly
Speaker 1: cautions the public to deat disregard such falsehoods. These reports
Speaker 1: are baseless, misleading and intended to undermine the integrity of
Speaker 1: the force's promotion process. The NPF remains committed to transparency,
Speaker 1: merit and due process in all personnel decisions. Furthermore, offices
Speaker 1: are strongly cautioned against lobbying or attempting to influence the
Speaker 1: promotion process through unofficial means. Such conduct is unethical, undermines
Speaker 1: the principles of meritocracy and professionalism, and will attract severe
Speaker 1: disciplinary action in accordance with extant laws and regulations. The
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to a promotion system
Speaker 1: anchored on integrity, verifiable merit and honorable service to the nation.
Speaker 1: Offices and men are hereby urged to remain dedicated, maintain
Speaker 1: discipline and continue to discharge the duties with pride and distinction.
Speaker 1: The Police stated human rights lawyer Barrister Addi Andjudjji, in
Speaker 1: a reaction to the photograph of Omili A Sare's hand
Speaker 1: wrapped with bandages of the police detention facility said, egg
Speaker 1: Beethoken the most useless IGP in the history of Nigeria.
Speaker 1: Police has ordered the detention of Sware for criticizing his
Speaker 1: incompetent and favoritism promotions and other numerous infractions. How do
Speaker 1: you promote your personal staff arbitrarily? Just like that? The
Speaker 1: police ACKed twenty twenty in Regulation three hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: seven of the Nigeria Police Regulations forbids a police officer
Speaker 1: from settling personal scores and vendetta via the instrumentalities of
Speaker 1: their offices. But egg Beethoken is too shameless to care
Speaker 1: and continue to abuse his office. President Tanubu must sack
Speaker 1: him now. Egg Beethoken must go. In an open letter
Speaker 1: and petition to President Bola Ahmed t Enubu, hadiyanju Deji
Speaker 1: said and in quotes that your Excellency, with utmost respect
Speaker 1: for the office you occupy, I write to draw your
Speaker 1: attention to the deepening rot within the niger Aerior Police
Speaker 1: Force NPF, which, if left unchecked threatens to completely erode
Speaker 1: public trust and destroy the very institution meant to protect us.
Speaker 5: All.
Speaker 1: Under the watch of the current Inspector General of Police,
Speaker 1: the force has become increasingly compromised by a pattern of
Speaker 1: conduct that has brought the institution into disrepute. The NPF
Speaker 1: has become personalized and weaponized, with growing reports of the
Speaker 1: force being used to settle personal scores and intimidate private citizens.
Speaker 1: The civic space has shrunk under a climate of fear.
Speaker 1: Peaceful expression, association, and lawful dissent are now treated with
Speaker 1: suspicion or outright hostility by an institution that should protect
Speaker 1: these freedoms. More disturbingly, the men and women who serve
Speaker 1: in the police force continue to operate under conditions that
Speaker 1: are nothing short of inhumane. Reports of nepotism, favoritism, and
Speaker 1: ethnic promotions above competence and institutional framework has become order
Speaker 1: of the day. Offices lack adequate welfare, modern equipment, proper
Speaker 1: housing and fair remuneration, resulting into the recent police protest.
Speaker 1: The morale of the average policeman is low, and yet
Speaker 1: they are still expected to perform optimally. A force that
Speaker 1: is deprived of dignity cannot enforce the law with dignity.
Speaker 1: The NPS urgently needs reform, but reform cannot happen under
Speaker 1: leadership that undermines its very principles. It is in light
Speaker 1: of this that I respectfully urge you to act decisively
Speaker 1: by relieving the current Inspector General of Police of his
Speaker 1: duties and appointing a leader with a clear commitment to
Speaker 1: constitutional order and human rights. Yours, faithfully, dejiadian U. Esquire
Speaker 1: Hunch newspaper reported that the Coalition of United Political Parties
Speaker 1: and the Arowa Youth Ambassadors have called for the immediate
Speaker 1: and unconditional release of pro democracy activist and journalist Amielle
Speaker 1: Sawarre following his recent arrest by the Nigeri Police Force.
Speaker 1: In separate statements on Thursday, both groups condemned the arrest,
Speaker 1: describing it as a violation of Saware's constitutional rights and
Speaker 1: an abuse of police authority. National Secretary of CUPP Peter
Speaker 1: Amme said Sir wares detention flouts Section thirty nine of
Speaker 1: the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and opinion.
Speaker 1: He said the police had turned into an instrument of
Speaker 1: oppression and call for accountability. We strongly condemned the arrest
Speaker 1: of Omiene Saware by the Nigerian Police and act that
Speaker 1: flouts Section thirty nine of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees
Speaker 1: the fundamental right to freedom of expression, including the freedom
Speaker 1: to hold opinions and share ideas without interference. This arrest
Speaker 1: is not only unjust, but also a disturbing misuse of
Speaker 1: police power, turning an institution meant to protect Nigerians into
Speaker 1: a tool for oppression and personal vendettas. This arrest is
Speaker 1: a blatant to use of power and an affront to
Speaker 1: the principles of justice and accountability enshrined in the Constitution.
Speaker 1: The Nigerian Police own Nigerians a clear explanation for Sir
Speaker 1: Ware's arrest. Denying him his right to bail is indefensible
Speaker 1: and further exposes the misuse of authority to silence descent.
Speaker 1: We demand his immediate and unconditional release and if the
Speaker 1: Inspector General believes there is a case to answer, Sir
Speaker 1: Warez should be charged to court without delay, he stated.
Speaker 1: The Arowa Youth Ambassadors, in a separate statement signed by
Speaker 1: their national coordinator, Yeheya Abdullahi, also condemned Sir Ware's continued
Speaker 1: detention and gave the federal authorities a seventy two hour
Speaker 1: ultimatum to release him or face protests across the nineteen
Speaker 1: Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory. The group said
Speaker 1: Sir Ware's arrest was part of a pattern of harassment,
Speaker 1: alleging that state institutions were being misused to suppress descent.
Speaker 1: They warned that a continued clamp down on critics could
Speaker 1: erode democratic values and civic freedoms. In line with this,
Speaker 1: the Arowa Youth Ambassadors hereby issue a seventy two hour
Speaker 1: ultimatum to the Nigerian authorities to release Saware or face
Speaker 1: nationwide protests in all nineteen Northern States and the Federal
Speaker 1: Capital Territory. We will mobilize peaceful mass action in solidarity
Speaker 1: with Saware and in defense of the fundamental rights of
Speaker 1: all Nigerians to freedom of expression and assembly. We call
Speaker 1: on all progressive forces, civil society groups, student unions, labor
Speaker 1: movements and the general public to rise in unity against
Speaker 1: the growing tyranny and misuits of state power. Nigeria belongs
Speaker 1: to us all, and no government has the right to
Speaker 1: crush dissent in a democratic society. The statement added the
Speaker 1: police are yet to issue an official response to the
Speaker 1: reason for Saware's arrest. Gingi ingim A Number is no
Speaker 1: doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and
Speaker 1: very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do
Speaker 1: lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing
Speaker 1: of security operatives and some other persons around the scene
Speaker 1: of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically,
Speaker 1: our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week
Speaker 1: without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innichhare,
Speaker 1: a wary federal road in a Nambra State, especially between
Speaker 1: Ober community and Ihiala town. As we gathered that most
Speaker 1: victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small
Speaker 1: and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled
Speaker 1: out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we
Speaker 1: learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along
Speaker 1: the Ihiala all who road left to be kidnapped or
Speaker 1: forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober,
Speaker 1: wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions
Speaker 1: of pain in silence to the kidnappers. According to members
Speaker 1: of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently
Speaker 1: at a location between the ober New Road and Old
Speaker 1: Road junctions, shortly after he visited his building construction site.
Speaker 1: While we also learned that some people in the state
Speaker 1: to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to
Speaker 1: get a share from the ransom that will be paid
Speaker 1: afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with
Speaker 1: their friends or co traders. It may interest you to
Speaker 1: know that the Enambra State Police Command recently arrested a
Speaker 1: twenty four year old male suspect Muanaie Victor for allegedly
Speaker 1: luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang
Speaker 1: Innuli Ihiala local government area of the state, and they
Speaker 1: reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five point
Speaker 1: three million narers with his gang members, just as government
Speaker 1: in a not too long distance time abducted a lawyer
Speaker 1: and two other persons in in polgu Aguata local government
Speaker 1: area of Anambra. In addition to previous cases of kis
Speaker 1: knapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea
Speaker 1: Org by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of
Speaker 1: persons along the new Ober Newi Road in Idomili South
Speaker 1: Local Government area of a Nambra State, with the number
Speaker 1: of those killed at the Porsche nightclub said to be seven,
Speaker 1: but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another
Speaker 1: had his foot cut off and made away by the
Speaker 1: invading deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well known
Speaker 1: native doctor or which doctor chidos in nawangu Aka Aqua
Speaker 1: Okako Tiuuraki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed
Speaker 1: in the vicinity of his hotel at ober community before
Speaker 1: the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after
Speaker 1: ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all. On
Speaker 1: May twenty one, twenty twenty two, shortly after Professor Chukuma
Speaker 1: Saludo was sworn in as governor, gunman abducted the lawmaker
Speaker 1: representing Aguata to constituency in the State House of Assembly,
Speaker 1: hok Chukua Koye a Koye also known as Hoki Dioke
Speaker 1: represented Soludo's state constituency Isoophia. A Koye was killed and
Speaker 1: beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril chi Eboka. Six days after
Speaker 1: they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road, Anaroka Local government area
Speaker 1: of the state and their heads and bodies dumped along
Speaker 1: a roadside in the state. And in December twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: another lawmaker in the State House of Assembly was kidnapped
Speaker 1: and killed and the victim, the lifeless body of the
Speaker 1: member representing Anicha North one constituency in the Nambra State
Speaker 1: House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the Second
Speaker 1: Niger Bridge with Azuka's lifeless body, said to be already decomposing,
Speaker 1: was found by a joint team of security operatives forty
Speaker 1: four days after he was kidnapped on December twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four along the Ugunarabanko Road in Inland Town,
Speaker 1: Anischa while returning home for Christmas. And the most prominent
Speaker 1: among the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state is
Speaker 1: Martin's on Yekse, well known as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping
Speaker 1: and subsequent killing of the young small business owner sparked
Speaker 1: protest and public awareness like never before, with a social
Speaker 1: right activist, Martinsotzka Veri Dartmann coming to the state earlier
Speaker 1: on Sunday and led a protest walk on Tuesday, which
Speaker 1: was tagged Candlelight Procession March in honour of Phish Magnet,
Speaker 1: one of the most recent victims of the unabated deadly
Speaker 1: monetary kidnapping business apparently thriving in an Ambra like some
Speaker 1: other states in Nigeria, with Veridartmund saying during the protest
Speaker 1: that it may be right to say that kidnappers killed
Speaker 1: Phish Magnet, but the actual killers are the administrative failures
Speaker 1: of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo, the state Governor, Senator Bolah
Speaker 1: Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria, General Christopher Musa, the
Speaker 1: Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken, the Inspector General
Speaker 1: of Police and the local government area chairman or mayor,
Speaker 1: and accused him of incompetence in managing security matters in
Speaker 1: the state and the country at large, while the Enambra
Speaker 1: State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who also joined the campaign,
Speaker 1: said the campaign walk was not only about Phish Magnet,
Speaker 1: but a bold statement collectively made by an Ambra youths
Speaker 1: in solidarity and in support of the efforts of the
Speaker 1: security agencies in the State against killings and other crimes.
Speaker 1: After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated in a post that
Speaker 1: I am glad I found this online and like I
Speaker 1: clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by Chukuma Charles Soludo.
Speaker 1: He was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu. Ellipsis Dot
Speaker 1: rest in peace. My name's sake, Martin's on ye kca
Speaker 1: Fessenachi deer at phish Magnet, you send me a DM
Speaker 1: and I didn't see it. Even if I had seen it,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have responded because I have other priorities and
Speaker 1: a lot of issues going on, and I always think
Speaker 1: people give me things to have me advertise for them,
Speaker 1: so I don't accept gift. When I saw your post
Speaker 1: on tunde ed nut page, I actually commented something funny
Speaker 1: to let you know I saw it. You were gone
Speaker 1: now and I sincerely wish I had collected the fish
Speaker 1: from you, Ellipsis dot dot. I will like to also
Speaker 1: beg Nigerians to support his business his legacy continues. It
Speaker 1: should not be a case where because he is no
Speaker 1: more and then people will stop the patronage. The office
Speaker 1: and businesses still operating follow at pish Magnet they deliver nationwide.
Speaker 1: Lolai finally did the advert for you and you won't
Speaker 1: even see it. Rest on King my namesake Tochukuakenga, the
Speaker 1: Nambra State Police Command spokesperson in a post also said
Speaker 1: it was a walk for peace, a stand against violent crime.
Speaker 1: The use of a nambre came out in their numbers
Speaker 1: in a symbolic walk for peace, a collective stance against
Speaker 1: violent crime. It was not just a march for Phish Magnet.
Speaker 1: It was a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police
Speaker 1: and other security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all
Speaker 1: forms of criminality. Together, they echoed a clear message. Enough
Speaker 1: is enough. Criminals can no longer be allowed to terrorize
Speaker 1: an Amra's state in the Southeast region. The time has
Speaker 1: come for unity, vigilance and community driven action for a
Speaker 1: safer Anambra. An Amera's State Association of Town Union HASATU
Speaker 1: Youth President Comrade Kennicoli, as well as an Ambras State
Speaker 1: Commissioner for Youth Development, Mister Patrick Akeamber were also at
Speaker 1: the event, with almost all the protesters dressed in black
Speaker 1: and black matched from a Roma junction in the state
Speaker 1: capitol to the Fish Magnet factory in Orca. The protest
Speaker 1: did not take place without an earlier warning issued against
Speaker 1: forredarkmen by the police. The Nigeria Police Force had in
Speaker 1: a statement said the Commissioner of Police an Anna State
Speaker 1: Command CP iqia Oratugu f wcmn IPSPHD has issued a
Speaker 1: stern warning two social media influencer mister Martin's Vincent Dodds
Speaker 1: popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning him against making statements or
Speaker 1: taking actions capable of inciting tension or breaching public peace
Speaker 1: within the state. The CP noted the decision of the
Speaker 1: family of the late mister Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of
Speaker 1: Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly dissociate themselves from any proposed
Speaker 1: or ongoing candlelight procession or memorial gathering being organized in
Speaker 1: his name. They therefore pleaded that they should allow the
Speaker 1: family to grieve privately while trusting the authorities to do
Speaker 1: their work. The CP emphasized that an Amorous State remains
Speaker 1: one of the most peaceful in the region due to
Speaker 1: the sustained efforts of the police and other security agencies
Speaker 1: in collaboration with critical stakeholders. He stressed that no individual,
Speaker 1: regardless of social status, would be allowed to disrupt the
Speaker 1: existing peace and security architecture of the state. C p
Speaker 1: Or tougu urged residents and visitors alike to go about
Speaker 1: their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the Command's commitment to
Speaker 1: maintaining law and order. He further advised social media uses
Speaker 1: and public figures to exercise restraint and avoid spreading misinformation
Speaker 1: or making inciting remarks. The Command further warns that any
Speaker 1: one found undermining public peace, either on line or offline,
Speaker 1: will face the full weight of the law. We had
Speaker 1: reported that the Inambor State government under the leadership of
Speaker 1: Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is
Speaker 1: currently in search of justice over the killing of a
Speaker 1: young and creative fish farmer, Martin's of Fessenachi on Ye
Speaker 1: k c well known by his business name as Fish Magnet,
Speaker 1: who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: at his residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca,
Speaker 1: the Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour
Speaker 1: Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state,
Speaker 1: said that Anambra State is no longer safe, adding that
Speaker 1: people are being killed, sorted for their families to bury
Speaker 1: in silence, while the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo
Speaker 1: luks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically,
Speaker 1: Mogalu said, I must speak frankly, an Amber is no
Speaker 1: longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people
Speaker 1: are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the
Speaker 1: government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it
Speaker 1: is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in
Speaker 1: a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area.
Speaker 1: Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a
Speaker 1: visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings
Speaker 1: and politic endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mongolu stated,
Speaker 1: while the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biaffra
Speaker 1: agitation leader, Barrister afany g four, said the people of
Speaker 1: the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and
Speaker 1: painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify
Speaker 1: the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening
Speaker 1: part the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers.
Speaker 1: When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you
Speaker 1: embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of
Speaker 1: ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the
Speaker 1: real external aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come
Speaker 1: when we are weakest and most divided.
Speaker 5: Affective NAPAs fish magnets, when atwas sense it is magn.

Speaker 10: who died in service to the country. All flags how
Speaker 10: to fly at half mast.
Speaker 1: Qui bini A Nambra State government under the leadership of
Speaker 1: Governor Charles Chukuma Sludo has said that the state is
Speaker 1: currently in search of justice over the killing of a
Speaker 1: young and creative fish farmer, Martin's of fessinaci On y KC,
Speaker 1: well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who
Speaker 1: was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday,
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his
Speaker 1: residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno in Orca, the
Speaker 1: Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party
Speaker 1: candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said
Speaker 1: that a Nambra State is no longer safe, adding that
Speaker 1: people are being killed sloughted for their families to bury
Speaker 1: in silence. While the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo
Speaker 1: looks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visitor statement. Specifically,
Speaker 1: Mongolu said, I must speak frankly, an Amberor is no
Speaker 1: longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people
Speaker 1: are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the
Speaker 1: government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it
Speaker 1: is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in
Speaker 1: a ghastly accident at Amchi Noi South Local government area.
Speaker 1: Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a
Speaker 1: visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings
Speaker 1: and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mogolu stated,
Speaker 1: while the former lawyer to Namdi Carlu, the detained Biafra
Speaker 1: agitation leader, Barrister afangy g four, said the people of
Speaker 1: the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and
Speaker 1: painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify
Speaker 1: the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening
Speaker 1: part the reckless energy our own people expect defending these killers.
Speaker 1: When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you
Speaker 1: emboldenham when you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride,
Speaker 1: you leave the gates wide open for the real external
Speaker 1: aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we
Speaker 1: are weakest and most divided. A Nambra's State Commissioner for
Speaker 1: Information Law Mepher made the government position known on Sunday
Speaker 1: after he led other government officials on a condolence visit
Speaker 1: to the bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to
Speaker 1: be the woman leader of the Enambra's State All Progressives
Speaker 1: Grand Alliance APGA missus ester on Ya KC. According to
Speaker 1: Punch newspaper, Homyaker, a son of the woman leader of
Speaker 1: the Enambra's State All Progressives Grand Alliance, was abducted by
Speaker 1: government and his residence in Zeniphied Community Opuno Orc, a
Speaker 1: South Local government area of Enamra State, in a late
Speaker 1: night attack on Saturday, July twenty sixth, and was subsequently killed.
Speaker 1: In a press statement release on Sunday, the State Commissioner
Speaker 1: for Information Law Mepha sympathized with the deceased's family, assuring
Speaker 1: them that the state government is in search of justice
Speaker 1: while sustaining and strengthening security in the state. Mepher, who
Speaker 1: maintained that such a development is an affront to the
Speaker 1: Professor Chokuma Soludo Government's new security architecture, also expressed delight
Speaker 1: that the police are on the heels of the perpetrators.
Speaker 1: The Commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he
Speaker 1: paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the
Speaker 1: Enambra's State Apga ester On Yeakese. According to the statement,
Speaker 1: the statement read in part, the Enambra State Commissioner for Information,
Speaker 1: Doctor Law Mepher, recently paid a condolence visit to the

Speaker 1: Missus ester On Yeakese, whose only son, Martina fessenaci On
Speaker 1: yaks a prominent fish dealer in the state popularly known
Speaker 1: as Phish Magnet, was kidnapped and murdered recently in Enambre State. Meher,
Speaker 1: who described the fish dealer's death as dastardly and heart wrenching,
Speaker 1: sympathized with the deceased mother, assuring her that the state
Speaker 1: government is with her in search of justice while sustaining
Speaker 1: and strengthening security in an Ambra State. He maintained that
Speaker 1: such a death is an affront to the Solution Government's
Speaker 1: new security architecture and expressed happiness that the police are
Speaker 1: on the heels of the perpetrators and have issued a
Speaker 1: statement on the matter after recovering the vehicle in which
Speaker 1: they drove him away, adding that nobody can commit such
Speaker 1: a dastardly act in an Ambra's state and get away
Speaker 1: with it. So may his sole rest in peace. We'll
Speaker 1: fight and get him justice. The mother will get justice,
Speaker 1: the family will get justice, and an amoror will get justice.
Speaker 1: It's a very painful loss for all of us and
Speaker 1: the government is always challenged when things like this happen
Speaker 1: because it's an affront to the new security architecture put
Speaker 1: in place by the Solution Government led by Professor Chukou Soludo.
Speaker 1: The Commissioner said security in Anambra has significantly improved since
Speaker 1: Soludo launched a new security architecture on February eighteenth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. He noted that troubled areas are now receiving
Speaker 1: proper attention and that anyone causing unrest must now face
Speaker 1: the government's security outfits Hagenekembrand, Operation Ludo Garachi and whoever
Speaker 1: is constituting a security challenge in Anambra now knows that
Speaker 1: they have the government's new security outfits hagenekembrand Operation Ludo
Speaker 1: Garachi to contend with the statement read. Also on the
Speaker 1: condolence visit along with the Commissioner was the Chairman of
Speaker 1: the Noui South Local Government Area Van Georgia z e Oged. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Enambra State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force
Speaker 1: had said adjoint security operatives recovered the victim's vehicle which
Speaker 1: the assailants used to escape the scene. In a statement,
Speaker 1: the police said the Commissioner of Police CP ikiye or
Speaker 1: Oatugu f w C MNIPS PhD has directed all tactical
Speaker 1: and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down
Speaker 1: the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing
Speaker 1: of Mista A Fessenachi Homnukera, the managing director of Phish
Speaker 1: Magnet Outlet, who was attacked in the evening of the
Speaker 1: twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence
Speaker 1: in Zini Fitte Village, Opuno, Orca. This directive follows the
Speaker 1: recovery of the victim's Navy blue Toyota Corolla along a
Speaker 1: kulu Igarium road by the joint security team comprising of
Speaker 1: a number of vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations
Speaker 1: revealed that the assailants had trailed the victim before launching
Speaker 1: the violent attack, during which the deceased was shot in
Speaker 1: the leg and forcibly taken away. He was later found lifeless,
Speaker 1: sparking public outrage and deep concern among residents of Orca.
Speaker 1: The CPE, while condemning them killing, assured that the criminal
Speaker 1: elements behind this cowardly act will be brought to book.
Speaker 1: He further stated that the policeo is to the family,
Speaker 1: the people of Nambra and the memory of the deceased
Speaker 1: to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of
Speaker 1: the law. Further developments would be communicated accordingly. S P.
Speaker 1: Tochekuakenga police public relations officer an Ambra State Police Command
Speaker 1: stated in a press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship
Speaker 1: candidate doctor George Moglou said, my heart is heavy. I
Speaker 1: received with deep sorrow the devastating news of the brutal
Speaker 1: murder of mister Martin on Ye k C, the only
Speaker 1: son of missus esther on Yea k C. The Enambro
Speaker 1: state woman, leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.
Speaker 1: Martin was a promising young man, an industrious fish farmer
Speaker 1: in his twenties, whose life was cut short in a
Speaker 1: most cruel and senseless manner, abducted from his family home
Speaker 1: in Orca, shot in the leg, egg and later found
Speaker 1: dead despite ransom being paid. This is not just a
Speaker 1: family's tragedy. It is a painful reminder that our dear
Speaker 1: state is in crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with
Speaker 1: misses on ye Keesi and her entire family in this
Speaker 1: moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should ever have to
Speaker 1: bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances. I must
Speaker 1: speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not even in
Speaker 1: the state capital. Our people are being slorted, kidnapped and
Speaker 1: buried in silence while the government looks the other way.
Speaker 1: This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we
Speaker 1: lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi
Speaker 1: no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement,
Speaker 1: no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead,
Speaker 1: we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is
Speaker 1: our conscience? This is not about political party. This is
Speaker 1: about human life. This is about the safety of our people,
Speaker 1: our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a father and
Speaker 1: a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally. As a leader,
Speaker 1: I cannot keep quiet. We must return empathy to governance.
Speaker 1: We must put humanity before politics. The enamer of our
Speaker 1: dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence and indifference. It
Speaker 1: must be founded on compassion, courage and the result to act,
Speaker 1: especially when it matters most. May the soul of young
Speaker 1: Martin on ye k c find rest and may his
Speaker 1: death not be in vain. Doctor George Mogulu, Labor Party
Speaker 1: governorship candidate in a Nambra State, stated this on Friday
Speaker 1: August first, twenty twenty five. Former lawyer to Namdicanu, the
Speaker 1: detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra I p
Speaker 1: O B. Barrister Aphani he Giophour, in a statement said
Speaker 1: the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of Affair Tasinnachi on Yaqulu,
Speaker 1: popularly known as Fish Magnet, in orca an Amber State,
Speaker 1: is yet another chilling reminder that our homeland is bleeding
Speaker 1: and we are running out of time to act. Just
Speaker 1: last week, social medium was awash with heart wrenching reports
Speaker 1: of how this promising young man was kidnapped in his
Speaker 1: own home at zini Fite community of Puno Orcasouth local
Speaker 1: government area during a late night invasion by gunman. He
Speaker 1: was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an undisclosed
Speaker 1: ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi, was
Speaker 1: the only son of his family, one life brutally snuffed out,
Speaker 1: a family shattered beyond repair, and a community thrown into mourning.
Speaker 1: I condemn this dastardly act in the strongest possible terms.
Speaker 1: I call on the Governor of an Ambra State, security
Speaker 1: agencies and every community stakeholder to rise to the occasion,
Speaker 1: not merely to issue statements, but to act decisively, hunt
Speaker 1: down these murderers, bring them to justice, and urgently strengthen
Speaker 1: the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed. But let us
Speaker 1: not deceive ourselves. This is more than an isolated tragedy.
Speaker 1: It is a symptom of a larger, deadlier disease that
Speaker 1: is eating deep into the soul of ana Igbo a
Speaker 1: disturbing trend where crime is romanticized, killers are shielded, and
Speaker 1: absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media to justify barbarity.
Speaker 1: Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly defend these murderers.
Speaker 1: Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable claim that the
Speaker 1: gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls in arndizroguwa Fulani
Speaker 1: herdsman who must did Igbo language, What a tragic delusion?
Speaker 1: Must death knock at your door before you accept reality?
Speaker 1: And then there is the digital complicity, the growing chorus
Speaker 1: of voices on line excusing or minimizing the blood bath
Speaker 1: ravaging IMO's State and other parts of the Southeast. Many
Speaker 1: victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear, while some communities, particularly
Speaker 1: in the Achigue axis, have literally been conquered by criminal
Speaker 1: gangs who now dictate life and death within the domains.
Speaker 1: The most frightening part the reckless energy our own people
Speaker 1: expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they
Speaker 1: are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings
Speaker 1: under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates
Speaker 1: wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman,
Speaker 1: whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided.
Speaker 1: Let this be crystal clear. Crime is crime, no matter
Speaker 1: who commits it. A criminal is not a hero. Anyone
Speaker 1: involved in these heinous acts must be decisively dealt with,
Speaker 1: without ethnic excuses, without sympathy, and without protection under any guise.
Speaker 1: To my dismay, only yesterday I saw a report papot
Speaker 1: to be authored by alleged Umuaka community trying desperately to
Speaker 1: downplay the scale of kidnappings and killings in their area.
Speaker 1: I ask, what message are we sending to a people
Speaker 1: who now live under siege, a community where fear is
Speaker 1: the new normal. The hard truth is this security is
Speaker 1: not the responsibility of government alone. It is a collective duty. Sadly,
Speaker 1: the conventional security architecture appears to have abandoned hapless citizens
Speaker 1: of imost state to their fate, either by wilful act
Speaker 1: of dereliction of duty, compromise or collusion. But we as
Speaker 1: a people cannot and must not abandon ourselves. This is
Speaker 1: a wake up call. If we do not unite against
Speaker 1: this evil now, it will consume us all tomorrow. It
Speaker 1: could be your brother, your sister, your only son. The
Speaker 1: time to act is now. Sir Feannyegio for Esquire stated
Speaker 1: this on Saturday, August second, twenty twenty five. Nigeria President

Speaker 1: for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a
Speaker 1: fair battleground as a public square. It is often chaotic
Speaker 1: and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules. Divisive content is rampant,
Speaker 1: Leap fakes and eye generated content are increasingly used against
Speaker 1: political opponents. Posts are driven by cliques, not true for accuracy.

Speaker 1: The Thai side therefore responded accordingly to the situation. Regarding
Speaker 1: the meeting between military unit leaders in the area, the
Speaker 1: army spokesperson revealed that efforts to proceed with the meeting continue.
Speaker 1: The Royal Thai Army received a report from the Second

Speaker 1: the said agreement by implementing a ceasefire in the Thai
Speaker 1: Cambodia border area immediately upon the designated time, with sincere
Speaker 1: intentions and firm adhere rance to the mutual commitment agreed
Speaker 1: upon by both governments. However, it is deeply regrettable that
Speaker 1: at the designated time, the Thai side continued to detect
Speaker 1: that the Cambodian side had used weapons to attack Thai
Speaker 1: territory at multiple points, which constitutes a deliberate violation of
Speaker 1: the agreement with the intention of destroying the system of
Speaker 1: mutual trust. The Royal Thai Army therefore condemns such actions,
Speaker 1: and the Thai side finds it necessary to implement appropriate
Speaker 1: retaliatory measures under the legitimate right of self defense. The

Speaker 1: and welfare of the families and descendants of these brave
Speaker 1: soldiers in honour of their sacrifice. As of the twenty
Speaker 1: fourth of July twenty twenty five, there have been a
Speaker 1: total of fourteen personnel casualties. Meanwhile, the Cambodian Ministry of
Speaker 1: National Defense has rejected the allegations made by a spokesperson
Speaker 1: for the Royal Thai Army who accused Cambodian forces of
Speaker 1: continuing to open fire despite the agreed ceasefire. Speaking at
Speaker 1: a press briefing, Ministry spokesperson Mainly Soaki To said the
Speaker 1: Royal Cambodian Armed Forces RCAF have been strictly implementing the
Speaker 1: ceasefire agreement made between the two countries leaders. We strongly
Speaker 1: reject the claims made by the Thai military spokesperson who
Speaker 1: alleged gunfire exchanges and violations of the ceasefire agreement. She said,
Speaker 1: Cambodian forces have strictly implemented and will continue to strictly
Speaker 1: implement the Army Command's instructions and the ceasefire agreement, which
Speaker 1: took effect at midnight. She added. A statement made available
Speaker 1: by the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia indicated

Speaker 1: the situation on the ground, supporting frontline forces, implementing appropriate
Speaker 1: policies for wounded and fallen soldiers, assisting hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of displaced people, and addressing the large scale return of
Speaker 1: Cambodian workers from Thailand. He added that his top priority
Speaker 1: in recent days has been to find a swift solution
Speaker 1: to end the fighting in order to save lives, both
Speaker 1: military and civilian in the conflict zone. The sooner the
Speaker 1: fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially the displaced,
Speaker 1: can return to their homes and resume their livelihoods, he wrote.
Speaker 1: At a time when the nation and our people are
Speaker 1: facing hardship, I may look a little older because of
Speaker 1: the gray hairs, he joked. Even if I look older
Speaker 1: and feel a little less strong than I did ten
Speaker 1: years ago, my determination to face these challenges remains unwavering.
Speaker 1: Let's wait until the army and people are safe and
Speaker 1: the country has returned to peace, then it won't be
Speaker 1: too late to dye my hair. Sandek Hachamo Hussein arpad
Speaker 1: Teko Hansen, President of the Senate of Cambodia, has praised
Speaker 1: the cease fire initiative of US President Donald Trump, stressing
Speaker 1: that the achievement of the remarkable initiative has saved the
Speaker 1: lives of tens of thousands of people from the Cambodia
Speaker 1: Thailand War. First of all, I would like to express
Speaker 1: my gratitude to his Excellency President Donald Try for his
Speaker 1: visionary initiative in creating a ceasefire and peace between Cambodia
Speaker 1: and Thailand. This initiative is a tremendous achievement that has
Speaker 1: helped save countless lives in both Cambodia and Thailand, he
Speaker 1: said in a Facebook post last night. The Senate president
Speaker 1: also thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibraheim, who helped
Speaker 1: organize the meeting venue and facilitated this ceasefire agreement. This
Speaker 1: ceasefire and peace agreement is yielding positive and effective results,
Speaker 1: he emphasized. Moreover, sandeg teco hun Sen extended his gratitude
Speaker 1: to China for its support as well as to all
Speaker 1: friendly nations that have endorsed this ceasefire agreement. I also
Speaker 1: wish to thank the people of Cambodia and Thailand, along
Speaker 1: with both nations armed forces for their steadfast support of
Speaker 1: this peace process, he concluded. Cambodia Ministry of Information reported
Speaker 1: that the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said approximately
Speaker 1: two hundred three thousand, seven hundred and six Cambodian workers
Speaker 1: returned from Thailand between July twenty fourth and July twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Notably, one hundred twenty thousand, four hundred
Speaker 1: thirty eight Cambodians return just yesterday. Today, more than one
Speaker 1: hundred fifty thousand additional workers are expected to return from
Speaker 1: Thailand to Cambodia. Over this five day period, nearly four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand Cambodian workers will have returned. If the fighting continues,
Speaker 1: even more likely to come back. We had reported that
Speaker 1: the Royal Thai Army and the Cambodian National Ministry of
Speaker 1: Defense have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed
Speaker 1: civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in
Speaker 1: Now on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early
Speaker 1: in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday
Speaker 1: night to Sunday morning night, despite President Donald Trump of
Speaker 1: the United States u S statement on Saturday that he
Speaker 1: has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of
Speaker 1: Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the
Speaker 1: two parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure
Speaker 1: to do so, according to Trump, US will not make
Speaker 1: any business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said,
Speaker 1: we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on trade
Speaker 1: with both countries, but do not want to make any
Speaker 1: deal with either country if they are fighting, and I
Speaker 1: have told them so. The call with Thailand is being
Speaker 1: made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect
Speaker 1: a call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based
Speaker 1: on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to
Speaker 1: simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in
Speaker 1: this war, but it very much reminds me of the
Speaker 1: conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a
Speaker 1: successful halt. We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming
Speaker 1: a co continent of War's hope of achieving peace in
Speaker 1: the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh
Speaker 1: wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas
Speaker 1: attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multi front wars
Speaker 1: in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia,
Speaker 1: that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its
Speaker 1: neighboring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led
Speaker 1: to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting
Speaker 1: an end soon. But while many in the world hoped
Speaker 1: for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war
Speaker 1: broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast
Speaker 1: Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai
Speaker 1: Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a
Speaker 1: landmine at huaiban Chong and Ma nan Yuen District, uben
Speaker 1: Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing severe
Speaker 1: injury to one Thailand soldier, while four other soldiers sustained
Speaker 1: some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of
Speaker 1: Thailand Funtham we Chaiai to recall the country's ambassador from
Speaker 1: Panom Pen and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand, leading to
Speaker 1: heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news
Speaker 1: agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians,
Speaker 1: including children, pregnant women and the elderly, have been forced
Speaker 1: to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Pria, Vihir,
Speaker 1: Odaminchi and Persit, and The Royal Thai Army also on
Speaker 1: Saturday released a video of its men hoisting the Thai
Speaker 1: flag at a location and stated that the Thai national
Speaker 1: flag was raised atop Fu Maquaya following Thai military operations
Speaker 1: to assault and seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it
Speaker 1: said the Cambodian forces had been heavily positioned, adding that
Speaker 1: the area was successfully captured during the evening of war
Speaker 1: on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat,
Speaker 1: who is currently on suspension, lane the cause of the war,
Speaker 1: on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems
Speaker 1: from the Thai government's efforts to crack down on call
Speaker 1: center crimes dismantling a network of immense financial interests linked
Speaker 1: to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the Prime Minister of Cambodia,
Speaker 1: Sandek Mohaborva Thapadai han Mane, in a statement called on
Speaker 1: Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living
Speaker 1: in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister of Malaysia
Speaker 1: and the rotating chairman of Vizian, Hanwai Rahem, intervened in
Speaker 1: the matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a cease
Speaker 1: fire slated to start on Friday by twelve a m.
Speaker 1: But an hour after malaysia Prime minister told him that
Speaker 1: Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded its decision
Speaker 1: and continued military actions against Cambodia and The Cambodia. Ministry
Speaker 1: of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant General Malei Sokita, in an
Speaker 1: operational updates on Saturday, said that Thailand has continued to
Speaker 1: expand its military, including its infantry forces heavy weaponry into
Speaker 1: Cambodia territory. Qui Ni, Nigeria, on Monday, staged an uncommon
Speaker 1: welcoming ceremony to appreciate and celebrate the country women football
Speaker 1: team who may be apparently correct to be described as
Speaker 1: winning Queens of Africa as they landed at the Namdi
Speaker 1: Azukiway International Airport in Abuja after the Super Falcons of
Speaker 1: Nigeria defeated the host Lionesses of Morocco by three to
Speaker 1: two in a breath taking and thrilling final football match
Speaker 1: held in Robert, the capital city of Morocco on Saturday,
Speaker 1: marking the tenth triumph of the Super Falcons on the
Speaker 1: continental stage, after the previous triumphs in the Women's Africa

Speaker 1: two thousand, two thousand and two, two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, twenty ten, twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen,
