The office and business is still operating. Follow 108 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.680 at Fish Magnet they deliver nationwide. Lolai finally did the 109 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.800 advert for you and you won't even see it.

The youths 113 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.600 of Anambra came out in their numbers in a symbolic 114 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.040 walk for peace, a collective stance against violent crime. It 115 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.879 was not just a march for phish magnet. It was 116 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.839 a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police and other 117 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.800 security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all forms of criminality. Together, 118 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.120 they echoed a clear message. Enough is enough. Criminals can 119 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.879 no longer be allowed to terrorize an Amra's state in 120 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.439 the Southeast region. The time has come for unity, vigilance 121 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.720 and community driven action for a safer Anambra. An Ambras 122 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.399 State Association of Town Union HASATU Youth President Comrade Kennicoli, 123 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.639 as well as an Ambra State Commissioner for Youth Development, 124 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.199 Mister Patrick Akamber were also at the event, with almost 125 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.360 all the protesters dressed in black and black matched from 126 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.920 a Roma junction in the state capitol to the fish 127 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.839 magnet factory in Orca. The protest did not take place 128 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.199 without an earlier warning issued against forredarkmen by the police. 129 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.480 The Nigeria Police Force had in a statement said the 130 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.560 Commissioner of Police an Amera's State Command CP iqa Oratugu 131 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:10.839 f WCMNIPSPHD has issued a stern warning two social media 132 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:16.279 influencer mister Martin's Vincent Odds popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning 133 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.199 him against making statements or taking actions capable of inciting 134 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.319 tension or breaching public peace within the state. The CP 135 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.879 noted the decision of the family of the late mister 136 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:33.080 Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly 137 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.320 dissociate themselves from any proposed or ongoing candlelight procession or 138 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.759 memorial gathering being organized in his name. They therefore pleaded 139 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.519 that they should allow the family to grieve privately while 140 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.799 trusting the authorities to do their work. The CP emphasized 141 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.559 that an Amra's state remains one of the most peaceful 142 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.919 in the region due to the sustained efforts of the 143 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.759 police and other security agencies in collaboration with critical stakeholders, 144 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.960 stress that no individual, regardless of social status, would be 145 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.519 allowed to disrupt the existing peace and security architecture of 146 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.879 the state. CP or tougu urged residents and visitors alike 147 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.720 to go about their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the 148 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.159 Command's commitment to maintaining law and order. He further advised 149 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.799 social media uses and public figures to exercise restraint and 150 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:29.120 avoid spreading misinformation or making inciting remarks. The Command further 151 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.039 warns that anyone found undermining public peace, either online or offline, 152 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.000 will face the full weight of the law. We have 153 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.279 reported that the Inambra State government under the leadership of 154 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.639 Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is 155 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.240 currently in search of justice over the killing of a 156 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.480 young and creative fish farmer, Martin's of Fessinachi on Ye kc, 157 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.080 well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who 158 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.919 was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday, 159 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.759 the twenty seventh of July twenty twent at his residence 160 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:06.200 in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca, the Enambra State capital. 161 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.759 This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party candidate in the 162 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.440 forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that Anambra State 163 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.919 is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed, 164 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.440 sorted for their families to bury in silence, while the 165 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.799 state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo luks the other way 166 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.279 with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mongolou said, 167 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.000 I must speak frankly. An amber is no longer safe, 168 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.840 not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted, 169 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.639 kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the 170 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:47.159 other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, 171 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.559 we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at 172 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.360 Dmichi no We South local government area. Yet there was 173 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.799 no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the 174 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.759 state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. 175 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.480 Where is our conscience? Mongolu stated, while the former lawyer 176 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:11.879 to Namdikanu, the detained Biafra Agitation leader, Barrister afany G four, 177 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.399 said the people of the state are currently romancing with crimes, 178 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.879 hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on social media to 179 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.080 glorify and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying 180 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.919 the most frightening part the reckless energy our own people 181 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.039 expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they 182 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.000 are your kinsmen, you embolden them.

Specifically, Mongolou said, 371 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.000 I must speak frankly, an amberor is no longer safe, 372 00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.799 not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted, 373 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.599 kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the 374 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:20.119 other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, 375 00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.519 we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at 376 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.319 Amchi no We South local government area.

Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. 379 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.440 Where is our conscience? Mogolu stated, while the former lawyer 380 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:44.079 to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biafra agitation leader, Barrister afangy 381 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:46.960 g four, said the people of the state are currently 382 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:51.680 romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on 383 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.799 social media to glorify and justify the rising crimes in 384 00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.799 the state, saying the most frightening part the reckless energy 385 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.920 our own people expend defending these killers. When you shield 386 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.640 murderers because they are your kinsmen, you emboldenham when you 387 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.640 justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride. You leave 388 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.039 the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like 389 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.519 armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we are weakest 390 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:23.119 and most divided.
