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: vehicle allegedly belonging to the Nambra State Vigilante Group. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the bodies of the deceased have been recovered and deposited

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 2: AFP report ends public to do this region as a
Speaker 2: hostile region. It's an enemy of the constitition and of
Speaker 2: the people. It has declared will on the citizens of Kenya,
Speaker 2: and we the people must assist to be dragged into
Speaker 2: a state of anarchictepts. A nibless, famuseless, and executives of
Speaker 2: this regime survallence. We have been held personally liable, both
Speaker 2: locally and internationally. The day of recolling is coming. No badge,
Speaker 2: no title, and no political alliance will show you from justice.
Speaker 2: This regim is now hostile. It cannot be reasoned with.
Speaker 2: It must be resisted. Will no trust, We will not retreat.
Speaker 2: We will not surrender until every drop of ancient blood
Speaker 2: is accounted for, until the oppressive weight of the regime
Speaker 2: is lifted off the shoulders.
Speaker 1: Of our people.
Speaker 3: Moved to Yayote and by an I under cou bigger
Speaker 3: police moved to Yayote, Ananda kuvera mere police station. That
Speaker 3: is the declaration of war in the Republic of Kenada.
Speaker 3: It is not acceptable. So you come at an one
Speaker 3: of my friends. No enough is enough high I will
Speaker 3: protect property on.
Speaker 1: Mysa.
Speaker 3: It is the responsibility of the Government of Kenya, which
Speaker 3: I lead, that is going to make sure Vita yak Maliatu.
Speaker 1: It's a comma.
Speaker 3: It must stop and we are going to use whatever
Speaker 3: means that it's available to make sure that we stabilize
Speaker 3: the country. We cannot accept Mayhem and Hanarky to to this,
Speaker 3: destroy the development we have in
Speaker 1: The in the
