Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has confirmed and announced the death
Speaker 1: of the nigeria immediate past President Mohammadu Buhari at a
Speaker 1: London hospital at about four thirty pm on Sunday, after
Speaker 1: years of rumours and speculations by the detained leader of
Speaker 1: the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB Marzi Nandi Carlo that
Speaker 1: the person that ruled Nigeria for the last eight years
Speaker 1: died few years after he took over office. On May
Speaker 1: twenty nine, twenty fifteen. The news of former President Buhari's
Speaker 1: death came at a time the ex president was a
Speaker 1: major point of discussion during the preceding week after the
Speaker 1: personal media a to the late President Garbasheh, who confessed
Speaker 1: he lied to cover up the health issues of the
Speaker 1: then President Mohammadu Buhari, a confession. The Indigenous People of
Speaker 1: Biafra described and said that the Garba se whose confessional
Speaker 1: statement about the use of the Villarat invasion story to
Speaker 1: cover up former President Mohammadu Buhari's illness, vindicates its detained leader,
Speaker 1: Namdi Karu, who had speculated years ago, starting from twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: that the real Mohammadu Buhari died few years after assuming
Speaker 1: office that the man that ruled Nigeria for the last
Speaker 1: part of first tenure and second tenure was mister Jibralral
Speaker 1: Sudani from Sudan. In a statement on Saturday by the
Speaker 1: BEAFRIC Group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, I p o B said
Speaker 1: Karnu was the first to expose Buhari's health condition and
Speaker 1: was persecuted for it. The group described Show's confession as
Speaker 1: a delayed confession borne out of guilt and irrelevance. Where
Speaker 1: was this honesty when the Nigerian people needed it? Where
Speaker 1: was this truth when I p o B and our
Speaker 1: leader were being vilified, jailed and labeled terrorists for speaking it.
Speaker 1: If this level of deliberate misinformation had happened in any
Speaker 1: sane society, those responsible would be in jail for subverting
Speaker 1: the constitution, undermining national security, and deceiving the electorate. But
Speaker 1: Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars and punishes truth tellers. The
Speaker 1: truth is like the rising sun. It cannot be suppressed.
Speaker 1: To day, Gaba Cheho has confessed, Tomorrow others will follow.
Speaker 1: Assou Rock is a house built on lies and the
Speaker 1: foundation is shaking. The statement added, the former President Mohammadu
Speaker 1: Buhari had begged for forgiveness if he had done any
Speaker 1: one wrong. In twenty twenty three, he said at a
Speaker 1: gathering that whoever thought that there has been some form
Speaker 1: of injustice on him, we are all humans. There is
Speaker 1: no doubt I hurt some people and I wish they
Speaker 1: would pardon me. And those who think that I have
Speaker 1: heard them, please pardon me. Late President Mohammadu Buhari stated
Speaker 1: this in May twenty twenty three, according to the video
Speaker 1: republished on ex social media platform on Sunday by one
Speaker 1: of his former media assistants, Busher Armored. According to the
Speaker 1: press released by the president spokesperson Beyo Onanunga, President Tanubu
Speaker 1: has directed the Vice President Shutima to travel to the
Speaker 1: United Kingdom to accompany the body of the former president
Speaker 1: back home. The statement reads in quotes, Thus, President Bolohamed
Speaker 1: Tanubu has announced the passing of his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaker 1: President Buhari died today in London at about four thirty
Speaker 1: p m following a prolonged illness. President Tanubu has spoken
Speaker 1: with missus Aishad Buhari, the former president's widow, and offered
Speaker 1: his deep condolences. President Tanubu has also directed Vice President
Speaker 1: Kashi Shutima to proceed to the United Kingdom to accompany
Speaker 1: President Mahammadu Buhari's body back to Nigeria. Former President Buhari
Speaker 1: was twice elected Nigeria's president in twenty fifteen and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. He also served as military head of State
Speaker 1: between January nineteen eighty four and August nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 1: President Tanubu has alluded flags at half staff as a
Speaker 1: mark of respect for the departed leader. Yo onnanunga Special
Speaker 1: adviser to the President Information and Strategy, stated this on Sunday,
Speaker 1: July thirteenth, twenty twenty five. On a personal note, President
Speaker 1: Bolahamed Tenubu said, it is with profound sorrow and a
Speaker 1: heavy heart that I received the news of the passing
Speaker 1: of his Excellency, Major General Mahammadu Buhari, Retired gcf R.
Speaker 1: My predecessor, who departed this life to day Sunday, July thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, at a hospital in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 1: President Buhari was to the very Corps a patriot a soldier,
Speaker 1: a statesman. His legacy of service and sacrifice injures. He
Speaker 1: served in Nigeria with unwavering dedication, first as a military
Speaker 1: leader from January nineteen eighty four to August nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: and later as a democratically elected president from twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three. U honor and a deep commitment
Speaker 1: to the unity and progress of our nation defined his life.
Speaker 1: He stood firm through the most turbulent times, leading with
Speaker 1: quiet strength, profound integrity, and an unshakable belief in Nigeria's potential.
Speaker 1: He championed discipline in public service, confronted corruption head on,
Speaker 1: and placed the country above personal interest at every turn.
Speaker 1: In this moment of national mourning, I extend my deepest
Speaker 1: condolences to his beloved wife, Aisha, with whom I have
Speaker 1: been in constant touch, his children, the entire Buhari family,
Speaker 1: and all who knew and loved him. I also extend
Speaker 1: my condolences to the government and people of Katsina State,
Speaker 1: most especially the people and traditional leaders of Darrah Emirate.
Speaker 1: We honor his service, we reflect on his legacy, and
Speaker 1: we pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. As
Speaker 1: a mark of respect to our former leader, I have
Speaker 1: directed that all national flags fly at half staff across
Speaker 1: the country for seven days from today. I have also
Speaker 1: summoned an emergency Federal Executive Council session on Tuesday, dedicated
Speaker 1: to his honor. The Federal Government will accord President Buhari
Speaker 1: full state honors befitting his towering contributions to our country.
Speaker 1: May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him al jana ferdors,
Speaker 1: and may his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians
Speaker 1: to serve with courage, conviction and selfishness. Bola Ahmed Tanubu,
Speaker 1: gcf R, President Federal Republic of Nigeria, stated this on Sunday,
Speaker 1: July thirteenth, twenty twenty five. It would be recalled that
Speaker 1: in April twenty nineteen, during the preparation for the Nigeria
Speaker 1: general elections, Nandikarnu came up with a fresh claim about
Speaker 1: the true nationality of President Mohammadu Buhari. Carlu, in his
Speaker 1: broadcast from the United Kingdom, said that neither dead Mohammadu
Speaker 1: Buhari nor his replacement, Jubil al Sudani, is qualified to
Speaker 1: contest for Nigeria's presidential election. Nandikru argued that being born
Speaker 1: on Nigerian soil was not enough to qualify one as
Speaker 1: a Nigerian citizen by birth unless the parents grandparents of
Speaker 1: such person is also born in Nigeria. The IPO B
Speaker 1: leader said that Buhari's father, Hardo Adamu was a nomadic
Speaker 1: Fulani trader, a duk seller from Nijei Republican later became
Speaker 1: a bodyguard in the Emir of Dara's palace, which made
Speaker 1: him to settle in Dara Katsena State, adding that he
Speaker 1: Hado was born in Niger Republic, not Nigeria. Nandi Knu
Speaker 1: vowed to continue his efforts to unmask Jubral Aminu al Sudani,
Speaker 1: the Sudanese man whom he had claimed is replaced the
Speaker 1: then President Buhari in the presidential villa in a video
Speaker 1: he posted on social media to wish his followers a
Speaker 1: happy twenty nineteen. Karnu, who went missing in September twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen and researchst in Israel in October twenty eighteen, said
Speaker 1: the worst days for the secessionist group were over. In
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen promises to be appointed year of Biafra
Speaker 1: independence and in the video, karlu Vauta insure that activities
Speaker 1: in Biafra land will be grounded during the presidential election.
Speaker 1: He said, the unmasking of Jubil Aminu al Sudani, the
Speaker 1: fake Nigerian President, will continue unabated. By the time we
Speaker 1: are done with him and his handlers, Laggard will become
Speaker 1: truly ashamed of what he created. I would like to
Speaker 1: see Nigerians participate in elections where one of the names
Speaker 1: on the ballad paper is a dead man. This shame
Speaker 1: and humiliation is one that will never leave Nigeria as
Speaker 1: it heads ingloriously towards self destruction. We understand the enemy
Speaker 1: has announced yet another round of Fulani military invasion of
Speaker 1: our land in the name of Operation Python Dance, no doubt,
Speaker 1: to help facilitate the rigging of elections for Jubil al
Speaker 1: Sudani and the cronies of Lani Kval across Nigeria. What
Speaker 1: I said previously still stand and there is no going back.
Speaker 1: Chuku Okkabiyama is my witness that any reported shooting or
Speaker 1: killing of any Biafran by this Fulani janjuwied army of
Speaker 1: Nigeria will be avenged, he said. In December twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: then President Muhammadu Buhari personally spoke and said he's not
Speaker 1: the jibral from Sudan, that he's the real Buhari. Nigerians
Speaker 1: voted for.
Speaker 2: We are humans, no doubt.
Speaker 1: I had some peopled and as pagan and I had
Speaker 1: them so much. Pad and An Ambra State Command of

Speaker 1: the incident recorded the death of two unsuspecting members of
Speaker 1: the public and the burning of a brown Toyota Siena
Speaker 1: vehicle allegedly belonging to the Nambra State Vigilante Group. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the bodies of the deceased have been recovered and deposited

Speaker 1: thirty one persons have already been pronounced dead by medical
Speaker 1: doctors attending to protesters who were attacked on Monday by
Speaker 1: Kenya's security operatives and armed militias when thousands of Kenya
Speaker 1: residents came out to stage a mass protest to mark
Speaker 1: this year seven seventh anniversary, an event known as Saba
Speaker 1: Saba Day that commemorates July seventh, nineteen ninety, when Kenyans
Speaker 1: rose up to demand a return to multi party democracy
Speaker 1: after years of autocratic rule by then President daniel A Rapmoir.
Speaker 1: This the United Opposition leaders called on all Kenya citizens
Speaker 1: to declare President WILLIAMS. Ruto government as an illegitimate regime
Speaker 1: that is an enemy of the people, hostile to the people,
Speaker 1: killing the people. By thus boycotting all government functions and
Speaker 1: activities and delegitimize the government's businesses and actions, insisting t T
Speaker 1: seven is too far for Kenyans to wait before ending
Speaker 1: the presidency of Ruto and in a swift reaction, President
Speaker 1: William Ruto on Wednesday visited Daggaretti, northern side of Nairobi
Speaker 1: to inspect the construction of five hundred forty housing units
Speaker 1: project at Kilimanny Police station, and during the visit, the
Speaker 1: President addressed the nation and declared those or apparent protesters
Speaker 1: who attacked fellow Kenyans, police officers, security installations and businesses
Speaker 1: as terrorists, stressing such acts are a declaration of war
Speaker 1: and he will never allowed retrogressive elements who want to
Speaker 1: rise to power through shortcut succeed. Opposition leaders on Tuesday
Speaker 1: accused the government of deploying unmarked police vehicles to transport
Speaker 1: armed gangs to perceived opposition strongholds during the protests. They
Speaker 1: called for a national boycott of all businesses affiliated with
Speaker 1: President Ruto's administration, accusing his government of deploying state sponsored
Speaker 1: violence and extra judicial killings on Kenyon. This regime is hostile,
Speaker 1: It cannot be reasoned with. It must be resisted. We
Speaker 1: will not rest. We will not retreat. We will not surrender,
Speaker 1: the opposition said in a joint statement. Jeffrey Rigothy Gachagua,
Speaker 1: one of the opposition leaders and former Deputy President of Kenya,
Speaker 1: said on the seventh of July twenty twenty five, the
Speaker 1: thirty fifth anniversary of Saba Saba, Kenyans took to the
Speaker 1: streets to protest. Unknown to the peaceful protesters, the time
Speaker 1: regime of William Ruto had a well organized state sponsored
Speaker 1: militia working in cohort with the police domain kill, destroy
Speaker 1: property and blame it on the Kakuyu community. President Ruto's
Speaker 1: ic SEE cases are still ongoing and were paused after
Speaker 1: witnesses disappeared. It is clear that history is repeating itself.
Speaker 1: Ruto is hellbent on finishing his unfinished business with the
Speaker 1: Mount Kenya region. To President Ruto, I say this with
Speaker 1: a lot of humility. Please stop being angry. The people
Speaker 1: of Kenya are far more angry than you are. If
Speaker 1: you truly want this to end, then restore the dignity
Speaker 1: of the pacelip. When the middle class can breathe, they
Speaker 1: will create jobs for our young people. Stop the abductions,
Speaker 1: stop the extra judicial killings and if you want this
Speaker 1: to end, disband the killer squad. According to the Kenya
Speaker 1: National Human Rights Commission k n HC, the Commission is
Speaker 1: still actively monitoring and following up on all reports and
Speaker 1: incidences related to the seventh of July twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: Saba Saba demonstrations across the country. Below is a general
Speaker 1: update of the human rights violations documented by k n
Speaker 1: c h R as of to day the eighth of
Speaker 1: July twenty twenty five at nineteen hundred hours, deaths, thirty
Speaker 1: one injuries, one hundred and seven inforced disappearances, two arrests,
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty two destruction of property value unknown.
Speaker 1: The knc CHR strongly condemns all human rights violations and
Speaker 1: urge accountability from all responsible parties, including police, civilians and
Speaker 1: all other stakeholders. We once again send our message of
Speaker 1: condolence to those who lost their loved ones and wish
Speaker 1: a quick recovery too those nursing injuries. The KNCCHR calls
Speaker 1: upon anyone with information and human rights concerns relating to
Speaker 1: the demonstrations to share it through SMS two two three
Speaker 1: five nine email complaint at KNCCHR dot org and toll
Speaker 1: Free Lied eight seven two O six two seven stated
Speaker 1: as signed by doctor Raymond n y Ras, PhD, Vice
Speaker 1: Chairperson Kenya National Commission on Human Rights k n CCHR
Speaker 1: Kenya Human Rights Commission khr C, in a video post
Speaker 1: on Monday, has stated that law enforcement offices have killed
Speaker 1: at least nine protesters during Saba Saba demonstrations held across
Speaker 1: twenty four counties. The actual death toll is likely higher
Speaker 1: given the nationwide scale of the protests. It will take
Speaker 1: time to verify and compile the final numbers of arrests
Speaker 1: and injuries. Press briefing notes issued by the United Nations
Speaker 1: Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has made
Speaker 1: available via the UN website. On Tuesday, The spokesperson for
Speaker 1: the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravina Shandersani, said
Speaker 1: we are deeply troubled by the killings yesterday of at
Speaker 1: least ten people, as well as looting and destruction of
Speaker 1: property in Kenya as police and other security forces responded
Speaker 1: to violent protests in the capital, Nairobi and at least
Speaker 1: sixteen other counties lethal ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas and
Speaker 1: water cannons were used. Police have reported that at least
Speaker 1: eleven people were killed, fifty two police officers injured, and
Speaker 1: that five hundred and sixty six seven arrests were made.
Speaker 1: The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported at least
Speaker 1: ten fatalities, twenty nine injuries, thirty seven arrests and two abductions.
Speaker 1: We have also received reports of looting and damage to
Speaker 1: public and private property by unidentified individuals in multiple locations.
Speaker 1: It is very concerning that these latest incidents come barely
Speaker 1: two weeks after fifteen protesters were reportedly killed and many
Speaker 1: more injured in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya. On
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth of June, UN High Commissioner for Human
Speaker 1: Rights Volka Turk renews his call for calm and restraint
Speaker 1: and full respect for the freedoms of expression, association and
Speaker 1: peaceful assembly. It is essential that legitimate grievances at the
Speaker 1: root of these protests are addressed. We note that the
Speaker 1: police have announced an investigation into earlier incidents. The High
Speaker 1: Commissioner repeats his call for all reported killings and other
Speaker 1: alleged violations and abuses of international quehuman rights law, including
Speaker 1: with respect to use of force to be promptly, thoroughly,
Speaker 1: independently and transparently investigated. Those responsible must be held to
Speaker 1: account under international human rights law. Intentional lethal force by
Speaker 1: law enforcement offices, including with firearms, should only be used
Speaker 1: when strictly necessary to protect life from an imminent threat.
Speaker 1: Our office stands ready to support the authorities in Kenya
Speaker 1: in addressing these challenges, including in the investigations. Kenya Human
Speaker 1: Rights Commission KHRC had earlier on Monday published CCTV footage
Speaker 1: on its ex social media handle that shows how goons
Speaker 1: stormed the Kenya Human Rights Commission KHRC offices at two
Speaker 1: eight pm to disrupt a press conference by Kenyan mothers
Speaker 1: who were calling for an end to arbitrary arrests, enforced
Speaker 1: disappearances and extra judicial killings ahead of Saba Saba protests.
Speaker 1: At exactly to two z eight p m East Africa time,
Speaker 1: eat today, hired goons stormed our office sent by the
Speaker 1: state to silence descent. They violently disrupted a press conference
Speaker 1: by Kenyan mother's calling for an end to arbitrary arrests,
Speaker 1: in forced disappearances and extra judicial killings, targeting protesters ahead
Speaker 1: of Saba Saba demonstrations. Saba. Saba has been marked annually
Speaker 1: as a symbol of resistance and civic courage in ongoing struggles.
Speaker 1: This was a calculated escalation in the campaign of intimidation
Speaker 1: by the William Ruto regime against the KHRC following the
Speaker 1: extraordinary legal rendition of our staff Martin Mavengina and human
Speaker 1: rights defenders holding it accountable for gross human rights violations.
Speaker 1: We will not be silenced. The constitution protects our right
Speaker 1: to protest and speak out. See you on the streets.
Speaker 1: On Monday, state sponsored militia attacked two journalists and stole
Speaker 1: the laptop and phones during a press conference by Kenyan
Speaker 1: mothers condemning arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances and extra judicial killings
Speaker 1: during protests. This CCTV footage clearly shows the individuals who
Speaker 1: took the items. We urge you to help identify the names.
Speaker 1: The Kenya Directorate of Criminal Investigations DCI must act on
Speaker 1: this evidence, arrest and arraign the perpetrators and ensure the
Speaker 1: immediate return of the stolen devices. Kenya President William Ruto,
Speaker 1: on his verified ex social media handle on Wednesday, tweeted
Speaker 1: and said those who attack Kenyans police offices, security installations
Speaker 1: and businesses are terrorists. Such criminal acts are a declaration
Speaker 1: of war. We will not allow our country to be
Speaker 1: destroyed by retrogressive elements that are seeking shortcuts to rise
Speaker 1: to power. Enough is enough. In Daggaretti, North, Nairobi, assessed
Speaker 1: construction progress at the five hundred and forty housing units
Speaker 1: project at Kilimary Police Station. We have reported last year
Speaker 1: that the Kenya Police Authority has redeployed all police personnel
Speaker 1: in Makuru area within the country capital Nairobi, following the
Speaker 1: discovery of dozens of bodies, mostly female, wrapped in a
Speaker 1: rubbish bags and dumped into a sea of Mkuru slum,
Speaker 1: which is very close to one of the country's police stations.
Speaker 1: Kenyan police are often accused by rights groups of using
Speaker 1: excessive force and carrying out unlawful killings or running hit squads,
Speaker 1: but few have faced justice.
Speaker 3: AFP report ends public to do this region as a
Speaker 3: hostile region. It's an enemy of the constitition and of
Speaker 3: the people. It has declared will on the citizens of Kenya,
Speaker 3: and we the people must assist to be dragged into
Speaker 3: a state of anarchictepts. A nibless, famuseless, and executives of
Speaker 3: this regime survallence. We have been held personally liable, both
Speaker 3: locally and internationally. The day of recolling is coming. No badge,
Speaker 3: no title, and no political alliance will show you from justice.
Speaker 3: This regim is now hostile. It cannot be reasoned with.
Speaker 3: It must be resisted. Will no trust, We will not retreat.
Speaker 3: We will not surrender until every drop of ancient blood
Speaker 3: is accounted for, until the oppressive weight of the regime
Speaker 3: is lifted off the shoulders.
Speaker 1: Of our people.
Speaker 2: Moved to Yayote and by an I under cou bigger
Speaker 2: police moved to Yayote, Ananda kuvera mere police station. That
Speaker 2: is the declaration of war in the Republic of Kenada.
Speaker 2: It is not acceptable. So you come at an one
Speaker 2: of my friends. No enough is enough, Hi, I will
Speaker 2: protect property on an ken Masha Bahara, on a Kena.
Speaker 2: It is the responsibility of the Government of Kenya, which
Speaker 2: I lead, that is going to make Sua Vita, Yaku Aribu, Mali,
Speaker 2: Nayawatu Itakoma. It must stop Yugama and Alawana. And we
Speaker 2: are going to use whatever means that it is available
Speaker 2: to make sure that we stabilize the country. We cannot
Speaker 2: accept Mayhem and Hanaki to to destroy the development we.
Speaker 3: Have in.
Speaker 1: Three Israeli citizens, Laryn Yakovov, Natine ele Aviv and dos
Speaker 1: Chai Raham, have been convicted for stealing properties belonging to
Speaker 1: victims of the October seventh, twenty twenty three massacre, when
Speaker 1: groups of a mass fighters invaded the Novo music festival
Speaker 1: near Kobutspiiri, barely five kilometers away from Gaza, with over
Speaker 1: four thousand, four hundred fund seekers at the music party,
Speaker 1: and killed more than three hundred and sixty persons at
Speaker 1: the music festival, which led to the state of Israel
Speaker 1: waging wars in Hamass controlled Gaza, Hesbla controlled Lebanon, Haran
Speaker 1: under Ayatola Company Supreme leadership, and recently in Huthi's controlled Yemen.
Speaker 1: According to Israeli based media und News, nearly two years
Speaker 1: after the October seventh massacre, prosecutors asked the Bear Shiva
Speaker 1: magistrates caught to impose prison sentences ranging from three and
Speaker 1: a half to five years and order compensation for victims
Speaker 1: on three Israelis Liryn Jakovov, Nartanell Avivandos Chairaham, convicted of
Speaker 1: stealing property from the Nova Music Festival massacre site. The
Speaker 1: defendants roamed among bodies and burned cars, grabbing whatever they could,
Speaker 1: Prosecutor Tehlernedum said during Monday's sentencing arguments. She noted that
Speaker 1: some stolen items belonged to innocent civilians who fled for
Speaker 1: their lives or were murdered during the attack, adding they
Speaker 1: desecrated the dignity of the murdered with bodies still lying
Speaker 1: in the area. Their actions violate the most basic societal laws.
Speaker 1: The prosecution also requested a fine of eighty thousand shekels
Speaker 1: twenty one thousand dollars for the defendants. Anyone seeking to
Speaker 1: rob helpless citizens will not only lose out but pay
Speaker 1: double Needham said. The defense disputed her claims, interrupting to
Speaker 1: argue that the accusation of looting near bodies wasn't in
Speaker 1: the indictment. Saying they were near bodies or burned corpses
Speaker 1: when it's not in the charges is an attempt to
Speaker 1: mislead the court, a defense attorney contended, adding that the
Speaker 1: proposed punishment was disproportionate, the act was disgraceful, but not
Speaker 1: severe enough to justify such a penalty, the defense said.
Speaker 1: Judge shosh Schrid responded, it's well known there were bodies
Speaker 1: there even on October eighth. Make your arguments. In turn,
Speaker 1: she added that the trio's actions were planned, dismissing claims
Speaker 1: of them being foolish or childish. The verdict is expected

Speaker 1: not planned to target the event. While police found maps
Speaker 1: of the target locations on the bodies of killed her
Speaker 1: Mass members, none was of the festival location. An additional
Speaker 1: finding supporting the assessment, according to Harets, was that her
Speaker 1: Mass militants did not approach the festival from the direction
Speaker 1: of the border, but from a nearby highway. In addition,
Speaker 1: the event had originally been scheduled to take place on
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, with Saturday added to the program only

Speaker 1: Police Force has given reasons why a suspected kidnapper, a
Speaker 1: Binna Orgie, who the police said his gang are responsible
Speaker 1: for series of kidnapping and armed robbery in an amber
Speaker 1: Delta and Rivers states, has not been charged to court
Speaker 1: since he was arrested while condemning an ex social media
Speaker 1: post published by an account holder named Fisio Suyombo, who
Speaker 1: has raised alarm that the police arrested and detained a
Speaker 1: Binner org he described in the post as a businessman
Speaker 1: for eight months without charging him to court. In a
Speaker 1: swift reaction. On Saturday, im Hoo's State Police Command, in
Speaker 1: a statement issued and made available by the command spokesperson
Speaker 1: he Koye Henry, narrated and listed the alleged crimes committed
Speaker 1: by the detained a Binno Orgy, saying the kind of
Speaker 1: crimes a winner is allegedly involved in a capital offenses,
Speaker 1: the police has no right to grant his bail and
Speaker 1: the delay in taking him to court is because the
Speaker 1: alleged crimes cut across multiple states, which require more time
Speaker 1: for proper investigation. Fisio Suyombo, who often introduces himself as
Speaker 1: an undercover investigator, had treated on X social media on
Speaker 1: Saturday with a photograph of the police officer in charge
Speaker 1: of the case and said s Pola, the officer in
Speaker 1: charge of the Anti Kidnapping Unit of the police in Imho,
Speaker 1: has been detaining a binner Orgy, a forty three year
Speaker 1: old businessman, for eight straight months without charging him to court.
Speaker 1: Spola says nobody, not even the IGP, can compel him
Speaker 1: to act otherwise, and the police replied and said the
Speaker 1: Inho State Police Command is aware of a recent misleading
Speaker 1: publication on the social media platform X authored by mister
Speaker 1: Fisio Suyombo, alleging the unlawful detention of one mister A
Speaker 1: Bino Org by the officer in charge of the Anti
Speaker 1: Kidnapping Unit, ce sp on Admeggi odia Ewa. To set
Speaker 1: the record straight, mister a Bino Org is a key
Speaker 1: suspect in multiple high profile cases of kidnapping and armed robbery.
Speaker 1: He is an ex convict previously remanded at the Achigue
Speaker 1: Correctional Center twenty seventeen twenty nineteen over conspiracy and armed
Speaker 1: robbery charges. His most recent arrest was based on credible
Speaker 1: intelligence linking him to a criminal syndicate involved in trafficking
Speaker 1: stolen vehicles acquired through violent crimes. Consequently, a Bino Orgy
Speaker 1: and his sinner ran out of luck when they kidnapped
Speaker 1: chiefer Kennero karfour on the fifteenth of November twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four and dispossessed him of his Toyota Highlander s UV,
Speaker 1: a gold necklace, and other valuables worth over twenty million nyras,
Speaker 1: after which a ransom of ten million nyras was paid.
Speaker 1: Swift tactical operations by the Anti Kidnapping Unit led to
Speaker 1: the arrest of two suspects, Chidosichuku and Uchenachuku, whose confessions
Speaker 1: subsequently led to the arrest of a Binna Orgy identified
Speaker 1: as a key figure in the kidnapping operation. During interrogation,
Speaker 1: mister Orgi voluntarily confessed to receiving and selling vehicles obtained
Speaker 1: through armed robbery and kidnapping. His confessional statements significantly advanced
Speaker 1: ongoing investigations and led to the recovery of several stolen
Speaker 1: vehicles across Imho, a Nambra, Delta and Rivers States. These
Speaker 1: include a black Toyota Highlander, another Toyota Highlander with a
Speaker 1: bon Ye registration, a black ro Range Roversport four minibuses,
Speaker 1: and a Toyota Camri Spider Model. Further investigations led to
Speaker 1: the arrest of nine other syndicate members and the recovery
Speaker 1: of an Act forty seven rifle, two pump action guns,
Speaker 1: over forty rounds of ammunition, and other incriminating items, confirming
Speaker 1: the group's involvement in organized violent crime. While it is
Speaker 1: true that mister Orgi has been in custody for a period,
Speaker 1: we wish to clarify that he has not been held
Speaker 1: for up to eight months as alleged his detention is
Speaker 1: related to capital offenses for which bail cannot be granted
Speaker 1: by the police. Moreover, the complexity of the investigation, spanning
Speaker 1: multiple states and involving several suspects, has necessitated his continued detention,
Speaker 1: particularly as his cooperation remains crucial to unraveling the syndicate's operations.
Speaker 1: He will be arraigned in court at the earliest possible time.
Speaker 1: The Inhos State Police Command wishes to emphasize them at
Speaker 1: csp are the Aware and his team operate within the
Speaker 1: confines of the law and remain accountable to the professional
Speaker 1: and ethical standards of the Nigeria Police Force. Any allegation
Speaker 1: of human rights abuse or professional misconduct may be formally
Speaker 1: reported to the Complaint Response Unit CRU or the ex
Speaker 1: Squad Unit for prompt and appropriate action. It is unfortunate
Speaker 1: that such a serious matter of national security was misrepresented
Speaker 1: and published without first seeking clarification from the command. Issues
Speaker 1: of this magnitude demand responsible and professional reporting, not sensationalism.
Speaker 1: The Inhost State Police Command remains unwavering in its commitment
Speaker 1: to transparency, the protection of human rights and the enforcement
Speaker 1: of the rule of law. We call on the public
Speaker 1: to disregard any misleading narratives, and continue to support our
Speaker 1: ongoing efforts to make inhost states safer for all. The
Speaker 1: police stated, who I can't neddle
