In a press statement, 16 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.920 aside the verbal pronouncements, the announcement of the band, the 17 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.640 Executive Council of the Traditional Rulers in Asaba stated that 18 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.920 arising from the Assatava Executive Council meeting Health Today the 19 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.200 Elevels of February twenty twenty five, it is here I 20 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.920 directed that, effective immediately, all the activities of udi ase 21 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.319 Uani who are not natives of Asaba are totally banned. 22 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.560 All non native traditional medicine practitioners who are not registered 23 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.719 with the appropriated bodies will not be allowed to practice 24 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:35.400 in Asaba.

This is to enable 30 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.040 close monitoring of those who visit the shrine. There will 31 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.840 be severe consequences should anyone front the royal directives long 32 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.920 leave His Royal Highness a such Bard Professor Epiphany Chiegobu 33 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000 as in gay as such bar Ahabah, while translating and 34 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.719 interpreting the words of the Assage bar of Asaba. Funt 35 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.240 Newspaper reported that this decision follows reports linking the murder 36 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.599 of an anambrell Omeka, whose body was discovered on the 37 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.159 Niger Bridge to native doctors and the shrine in Asabah. 38 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.759 Expressing lip concern, the monarch emphasized that crimes committed within 39 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.439 Asava directly impact its residents more than anyone else. He 40 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.400 stressed that the ban on these native doctors was a 41 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.280 proactive mason to call crime. Let us be on record 42 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:47.120 that we support the government at all times. However, while 43 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.599 supporting the government, there comes a time when we must 44 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.960 take proactive steps. Anything that happens in Asaba effects us directly. 45 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.879 He stated, it is distressing to hear that Asaba has 46 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.560 become the focal point of these criminal activities. As a result, 47 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.120 we have decided to take modules to end showpiece and 48 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.400 order in our land. The monarch declared that the activities 49 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.439 of z in money practitioners, particularly those not originally from Azaba, 50 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.159 were now banned. He described their growing presence as troubling 51 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.240 and their activities as the pharius. The murder of the 52 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.080 anam Brando Mecha points to Asaba where money was cleared 53 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.520 and where the shrine harboring the kingpaign was located. These 54 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.240 native doctors seem to be added not only internet fraudsters, 55 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.800 Yahu Yahu boys, but also kidnappers and other criminals. Therefore, 56 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.080 we are banning them effective immediately. Furthermore, the monarch announced 57 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.039 that all native doctors operated within Asaba must now register 58 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.319 and be regulated. He stated that they would require clearance 59 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.840 from the Autohas, the government legislative body of Asabah, before 60 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.840 being allowed to operate. In addition, restrictions have been placed 61 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.080 on visits to the shrine of the Asava Deity or Niche. 62 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.360 The monarch noted that the shrine was being desecrated and 63 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:20.959 misused for questionable purposes. Henceforth, no one, whether an imagen 64 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.639 of Asaba or not, may visit the shrine without cry 65 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.279 or approval from the o two he Hazard. The traditional 66 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.279 ruler also raised concerns about the increasing influx of unknown 67 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.839 individuals into Asaba, which he attributed to displacement from other areas. 68 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.279 We no longer know who resides in Azaba. Many criminals 69 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.959 now see Asaba as a self heaven, moving into various 70 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.519 parts of the city to continue their unlawful activities. Therefore, 71 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.480 we are launching opperasion law. Your tenants in Azaba under 72 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.519 less initiative, landlords are required to maintain proper documents and 73 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.639 an inventory of all tenants. This margule, according to the Monarch, 74 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.600 will enable security agencies to sweetly identify individuals living in 75 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.800 any particular building when necessary. This initiative will help ensure 76 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.680 that those who have crossed over into Asaba do not 77 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.199 find it easy to reside here. We want them to 78 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.560 know that they can be identified and located at short notice. Additionally, 79 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.680 the Assamchbar announced plans to deploy a palace appointed team 80 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.000 to inspect hotels and review guest records. He stated that 81 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.920 the place was already collaborating with security agencies to strengthen enforcement. 82 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.279 We are committed to working with security agencies to ensure 83 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.279 that criminals do not find refuge in Azaba. We will 84 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.759 also be monitoring hotels to verify the identities of guests. 85 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.639 These magles are necessary to restore other and self guard 86 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.879 our land. The Monarch's pronouncements mark a significant step in 87 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.439 Asaba's efforts to combat crime and enhance security within the community. 88 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.000 It would be recalled that the Lifeless Body of Justice Azuka, 89 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.360 the member representing Honitcha and North one constituency in the 90 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.079 Annambers Tate's House of Assembly was found by security operatives 91 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.959 near the Second Niger Bridge, with police saying the suspects 92 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.879 behind the kidnapping and killing of the lawmeker were mostly 93 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.360 between the age of nineteen and twenty, with some members 94 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.160 of the public identifying one of the suspects to be 95 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.600 sixteen years old, who only have an advanced or mature 96 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.759 face and body structure that makes him looks older than 97 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.560 his age.
