Israel Defense Forces IDF has confirmed that the Middle East country soldiers
1:05
carried out massive air strikes on multiple locations in Yemen capital of SAR on Sunday. While Nasra the chairman
1:13
of Yemen's Saba news agency and the vice president of the media authority of Ansa
1:18
Allah movement that has Houthi's group as one of its organizations said the air defenses were able to thwart the
1:24
majority of the Israeli attacks and confronted several of its combat formations which he said forced Israeli
1:31
soldiers to retreat with the Houthi fighters using locally manufactured air defense systems. According to Sriel
1:38
Defense Force, multiple military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in Sarah, Yemen, including a military
1:46
site in which the presidency palace is located, the Adar and Hazar's power plants, and a site for storing fuel, all
1:53
used for the military activity of the Houthi regime. These strikes were carried out in response to repeated
1:59
Houthi attacks on Israel with missiles and UAVs. The Houthis backed by Iran
2:06
continue to exploit civilian infrastructure for terror purposes. News agencies reported that Israel launched
2:12
the air strikes in Yemen's capital Salar, hitting areas near the presidential complex and missile bases
2:19
with additional strikes reported in Heda. It was gathered that Israel carried out the strikes in response to
2:25
days of attempted Houthi drone and ballistic missile attack against Israel. Local media reported with a photograph
2:32
showing the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, defense minister
2:38
Katz and IDF chief Al Zamir at the Israeli Air Force command center in Tel
2:44
Aviv observing today's strikes on Yemen capital on the military facility near the presidential palace, a fuel depot
2:51
and two power stations. Israeli air strikes hit Yemen's capital on Sunday,
2:57
just days after the Houthi rebels fired a missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster
3:03
bomb the rebels had fired at it since 2023. The rebels al- Masera satellite
3:09
television reported a strike on an oil company and video on social media showed a fireball erupting there. Nasrada,
3:18
deputy head of answer all Houthis media authority and chairman of Yemen's Saba
3:23
news agency said Yemeni air defenses intercepted most of the Israeli air raids, forcing several formations to
3:30
withdraw. He stressed that Yemen's military operations in support of Gaza will continue until the aggression ends
3:37
and the blockade is lifted. AMA dismissed Israel's targeting of a civilian fuel station in Sana as an act
3:44
of barbarism and bankruptcy with no impact on military capabilities, warning
3:49
it will only trigger further escalation. In quotes, he said, "Targeting a
3:55
civilian fuel station on a main street will have no impact on military operations."
4:00
Thanks to God, the air defenses were able to thwart the majority of the Zionist aggression and confront several
4:07
of its combat formations, forcing them to retreat using locally manufactured
4:12
air defense systems. Our military operations in support of Gaza will not cease, God willing, except with the
4:19
sessation of the aggression and the lifting of the siege on it. Targeting a civilian fuel station on a main street
4:26
will certainly have no impact on the military operations. Rather, it reveals
4:31
the brutality and bankruptcy of the Israeli enemy and will bring upon itself further escalation. The Yemeni people
4:38
will not back down from their faithful and humanitarian stance in support of Gaza. Assam Yaha al-Matawak the official
4:46
spokesperson for the Yemeni oil company in a video reposted by Hothi deputy
4:51
media spokesperson Nasra Ama while Assam was seen in front of what he said to be
4:57
the affected oil company model station on 60th street saying the targeted
5:02
station after extinguishing the fire in it. The fuel consumed by the enemy's
5:08
aircraft to reach Yemen and target the fuel station is more than the amount of fuel that was inside the tanks of the
5:14
targeted station. It would be recalled that the Houthi attacks over the last two years since Israel began a
5:20
retaliatory war in Gaza after Hamas attacked more than a thousand people in southern Israel on October 7th, 2023
5:28
have affected largely shipping in the Red Sea through which about $1 trillion of goods passes each year. Between
5:35
November 2023 to December 2024, the Houthis targeted more than 100 ships
5:41
with missiles and drones. The rebels stopped their attacks during a brief ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and later
5:48
became the target of a weeksl long air strike campaign ordered by President Donald Trump of the United States. In
5:55
May, the United States announced a deal with the Houthis to end the air strikes in return for an end to shipping
6:01
attacks. Although the rebel group said the agreement did not include halting attacks on targets it believed were
6:07
aligned with Israel. Also this year May, Israeli air strikes hit the SA airport
6:13
in a rare daytime attack that destroyed the terminal and left craters in its runway. At least six passenger planes
6:20
were hit, including three belonging to Yemenia Airways, according to airport authorities.
6:31
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. A young man from Delta State in the
6:36
oil rich Niger Delta region in Nigeria has been arrested after he conspired with his friend to fake a kidnapping to
6:43
get money from his family in order to be able to travel abroad. The young man was seen in a video the alleged kidnapper
6:51
sent to his family threatened to be killed with a cutless placed on his neck by the suspected fake kidnapper who is
6:57
also a native and indigene of Delta state but faked his voice to sound like
7:02
an house fani man from northern Nigeria. According to one of the popular human
7:08
rights activists against insecurity in the West Africa country, Harrison Gwamnu, the two suspects were arrested
7:15
inside the bush after intelligence gathering indicated that the kidnapping was not genuine, adding that they were
7:21
not mobilized by Senator Ned Munir Enwoko. the senator representing Delta
7:26
North senatorial zone who had said in a press statement that the father of the supposed victim together with two
7:33
members of the Idamu Juboko community reached out to me. I also spoke with the
7:39
victim's brothers as well as the police in SLA Uku and Asaba. In addition, I
7:44
contacted and mobilized the Idamuj Uboko vigilante group and held discussions with my police contacts in Asaba, giving
7:52
clear instructions to track the kidnappers and ensure the safe rescue of the victim. Throughout the operation, I
7:59
received tracking updates and was kept informed of the rescue movements from Asaba to Isla Wuku until the eventual
8:07
arrests were made. In an earlier post, Harrison Guamu has said that for
8:12
clarity, I do not know who he claims he mobilized for a rescue mission. I also
8:17
do not know what he meant by saying he mobilized the police and local vigilantes. I personally fueled three
8:23
vehicles, paid other logistics for the operation he's claiming he mobilized.
8:28
According to the popular human rights and life defender Harrison Guamu on
8:34
Sunday the 16th of August 2025 an alarm was raised that a man had been kidnapped
8:39
at an Nichao Anocha North local government area Delta state.
8:45
Immediately, the police special anti-kid kidnapping and cyber crime unit Asaba led by the OC swung into action working
8:53
tirelessly with a team of military officers from 63 brigade as the Nigeria
8:59
Forest Security Service NFSS and Delta State Government House trackers advanced
9:05
to Isleu to rescue the alleged victim. After hours of coordinated intelligence
9:10
gathering, it was discovered that the incident was not a genuine abduction, but a case of self-kid kidnapping. The
9:17
location was secured and the two suspects behind the act were arrested and are now in custody. We sincerely
9:24
thank the offices and men of the 63 brigade of Asaba, the OC and offices of
9:29
the special anti-kidnapping and cyber crime unit and the NFSS for their resilience, sacrifice and dedication to
9:36
keeping our communities safe. Special appreciation also goes to his excellency
9:42
right honorable Sheriff Obervoiri, executive governor of Delta State for standing firmly behind security
9:48
operations. As we commend these gallant men and women, we must also stress the
9:54
need for greater support. The security teams involved in this operation need stronger logistics, equipment, and
10:01
resources to sustain their work and extend their coverage across Delta State. With such support, we can
10:08
replicate this success statewide and ensure no community is left vulnerable.
10:13
Finally, never for any reason refuse to report a suspected case of kidnapping.
10:18
Every report matters, Harrison Guamishu stated in a statement on Saturday.
10:24
Senator Ned Mun WKO said, "I recently received a distress call from a parent
10:29
whose son was said to have been kidnapped with a viral video showing him in the forest of Aniocha North. I
10:36
immediately mobilized the police and local vigilante for rescue only for
10:41
investigations to reveal that the young man staged his own kidnap. This is a
10:46
reckless and criminal act alien to the values of our people in Delta North and it must not be allowed to take root.
10:54
Staged kidnappings traumatize families, waste vital security resources, erode
10:59
public trust and trivialize the suffering of genuine victims. I therefore urge security agencies to
11:06
ensure the culprits face the full weight of the law to send a clear message that such deceit has no place in our society.
11:13
As senator representing Delta North, I remain committed to safeguarding our communities, supporting security
11:20
agencies, and ensuring that peace and trust prevail among our people. Shortly
11:25
after the senator issued the statement, Harrison Guamishu responded and said, "Please, if you have time, kindly visit
11:33
Senator Ned's comment section and leave a message. For clarity, I do not know
11:38
who he claims he mobilized for a rescue mission. I also do not know what he meant by saying he mobilized the police
11:45
and local vigilantes. I personally fueled three vehicles, paid other logistics for the operation he's
11:52
claiming he mobilized. The truth is simple. We went for the operation on our
11:57
own working with the victim's family. Senator Prince Ned and WKCO neither sent
12:03
us nor mobilized us in any way. I have to put the record straight because some
12:08
members of our team are already feeling that I was paid by Ned and chose not to extend anything to them. For the sake of
12:15
truth and to protect the morale of our selfless members who risk their lives daily, I humbly plead that he should
12:21
reissue his press statement. This will prevent any form of discouragement among the men and women who sacrifice so much
12:28
without expecting personal gain. To be clear, none of us was mobilized for this
12:34
rescue mission. And if indeed he claims he did, then he should kindly present
12:39
the evidence. Those who were directly involved in this successful operation include officers from the police special
12:46
anti-kidnapping squad, Asaba. Soldiers from the 63 Brigade Asaba, a tracker
12:52
from Government House, Asaba, operatives from Nigeria Forest Security Service,
12:57
NFSS, and my humble self and two anonymous fellows who choose to hide their
13:03
identity. We remain committed to saving lives, not chasing headlines. I urge all
13:09
stakeholders, leaders, and well-meaning Deltans to continue supporting the work we do. Together, we can make our
13:17
communities safer for everyone. I remember pleading with the wellto-do in our communities to empower their local
13:23
vigilante. The time is no longer tomorrow. The time is now. Call home,
13:29
stand with them, and assist them. Our vigilantes need every support they can get to overpower what lies ahead. At
13:37
this very moment, there are more than five different teams of armed kidnappers operating within Andio.
13:44
This is not hearsay. It is based on the number of persons kidnapped in different locations.
13:50
Shockingly, one of these gangs operating around Oulu, Isela Zagba, is even led by
13:56
a woman. Yes, a woman. The man who escaped 2 days ago can testify to this.
14:02
Do not be deceived. Just because your community has not yet been attacked does not mean you are safe. Your town might
14:09
already be marked as their ransom collection point. Please guard your communities. Nobody will protect your
14:16
home better than you. We remain out here doing our best to help, but this fight
14:21
requires all of us. Stand up now before it becomes too late. Harrison Guamnishu
14:27
reacted. The senator Neden WKO quickly reissued a statement and said that my
14:33
attention has been drawn to certain comments questioning my earlier statement regarding the recent
14:39
kidnapping incident. What I wrote and posted was exactly what happened. When
14:44
there are critical issues like kidnapping and I am contacted by those directly affected, I take whatever steps
14:51
I consider necessary to ensure the matter is resolved safely. It is not unusual for different agencies, groups,
14:59
and individuals to be working on the same issue at the same time, sometimes without even being aware of each other's
15:06
involvement. That was precisely the case here. In this case, the father of the
15:12
supposed victim together with two members of the Idamuj Uboko community reached out to me. I also spoke with the
15:19
victim's brothers as well as the police in Isluku and Asaba. In addition, I
15:25
contacted and mobilized the Idomuj Uboko vigilante group and held discussions with my police contacts in Asaba, giving
15:33
clear instructions to track the kidnappers and ensure the safe rescue of the victim. Throughout the operation, I
15:40
received tracking updates and was kept informed of the rescue movements from Asaba to Isleu until the eventual
15:46
arrests were made. I acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of others who were involved at different points,
15:52
including Harrison Guamu, the military, the police, and every operative who contributed to the successful resolution
15:59
of this unfortunate saga. Kidnapping is a serious crime, and my only concern is
16:05
always to ensure that lives are saved and communities are safer. Harrison Guamnishu in a statement that seems to
16:12
accept the senator's clarification said, "Thank you, distinguished Senator Prince
16:17
Neden Waco for your clarification and for openly acknowledging the work we do.
16:23
Your recognition means a lot to us and strengthens our resolve to keep serving our people selflessly. We remain
16:30
committed to this cause. Thank you once again. Um post security the executive governor

21:58
[Music]
22:03
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. An amber state governor, Professor
22:09
Charles Chukum Solidudo has dismissed eight members of the state special vigilante group known as Agonmber after
22:16
the sacked security operatives were seen in a now viral video allegedly assaulting a female National Youth
22:22
Service Corps NYC member Jennifer Elbor to the level of complete nakedness after
22:28
they torn her clothes and continued assaulting her. Even when they observed during the process nothing more was
22:34
covering any part of her body. This the dismissed vigilantes did after they allegedly chased some young men on
22:41
motorcycles they claimed were members of a secret cult to the victim's compound at Ober community in Idily South local
22:48
government area of an amra state on July 23rd 2025.
22:53
According to the state television station, Anamra Broadcasting Service, ABS, the Anamra State Government through
23:00
the Agon Security Command has dismissed eight of her operatives for their involvement in the brutal assault and
23:07
public stripping of a core member, Miss Jennifer Elbor. The dismissed operatives
23:12
will be handed over to the police for immediate prosecution. Speaking at the agency headquarters in
23:18
Orca, the special adviser to Governor Chukuma Soludo on community security,
23:23
Mr. Ken Mikayi said the state government acted swiftly after receiving reports
23:29
that the operatives while in pursuit of suspected cultists on July 23rd, 2025
23:35
assaulted core members, an action which he described as totally outside the mandate of the agency and utterly
23:41
condemnable. Mr. Amikai stressed that the Soludo administration will not
23:46
tolerate any form of unprofessionalism, brutality, or abuse of office by security operatives, assuring that any
23:54
officer found guilty of misconduct will face immediate dismissal and prosecution. He disclosed that despite
24:00
pleas from the victim's family and NYC officials not to prolong prosecution for
24:05
damaging the identity of the people involved, the Anra state government insisted on full investigation and
24:12
accountability to serve as deterrence. The special adviser further revealed that the agency has already settled all
24:19
medical bills of the core member, replaced damaged valuables such as laptops and phones, and tended a public
24:25
apology to the victim, her family. NYSC and the general public. Mr. Amika
24:32
reiterated the government's resolve to reform community security operations in the state, emphasizing that Governor
24:39
Soludo's administration is committed to upholding professionalism, accountability, and respect for human
24:45
rights in all security engagements. He assured that the incident will be used as a turning point to strengthen
24:52
discipline and restore public trust in the Agon outfit. Meanwhile, the Anamra
24:57
State Police Command has condemned in strong terms the alleged assault on a female member of the National Youth
25:04
Service Corps NYC in Ober Idily South local government area of the state. The
25:11
assault was reportedly carried out by vigilante operatives. Following the incident, the suspects involved have
25:18
been identified. The command however notes that the alleged victim's unavailability has temporarily stalled
25:24
the ongoing investigative process. Meanwhile, the command has reiterated
25:29
that assault in any form remains a criminal offense under the Nigerian law and reserves the right to take necessary
25:36
legal action to aid the court proceedings while waiting for the victim. The command hereby reassures
25:42
core members serving across the state of its unwavering commitment to their protection, urging them to always report
25:48
incidents of harassment, intimidation, or abuse for prompt intervention. The
25:54
command further cautions vigilante groups and other quai security outfits against acts of brutality or abuse of
26:01
authority, warning that any such misconduct will not be condoned. SP
26:06
Toshukua, police public relations officer, an Amra state police command
26:12
stated this in a press release issued on the 19th of August 2025.
26:17
Omi Saware, founder of Sahare Reporters in a statement said, "I strongly condemn
26:23
the brutalization of a youth corper by the governor. Charles Chukuma Soludo's agon vigilante group in
26:29
Oberra state. This barbaric act is unacceptable and must not be swept under
26:35
the carpet. Even when the individuals responsible for this violence have been
26:40
identified and apprehended, they must also be brought to trial immediately through an impartial judicial process.

Our national youth service core youth corps members are serving Nigeria. They must never be subjected to intimidation
26:54
as was done to Rashier Rita, humiliation or sexual violence as seen in the
26:59
horrific anamra vigilante video. Vigilante groups cannot be allowed to operate above the law or brutalize
27:06
innocent citizens with impunity. Punch newspaper had reported that the Anamra
27:11
state government has condemned the assault on a national youth service corps member Jennifer Elbor by members
27:18
of the state security outfit. This is just as it said those responsible have
27:23
been identified, arrested, and detained. Punch online reports in a video that
27:28
went viral on Tuesday, the operatives armed with guns stormed the core members lodge accused them of being internet
27:35
fraudsters despite showing their identification cards and uniforms. The operatives were seen beating the female
27:42
core member despite her cries for help. In the process, her clothes were torn,
27:47
leaving her exposed. Despite this, the operatives in number continued to beat
27:53
the female core member. In the video, the core member was seen begging the security operatives to stop as they
27:59
continued to hit her. The attack has however triggered outrage on social
28:05
media with many Nigerians condemning the actions of the vigilante group and demanding justice for the victim.
28:12
Appearing on channels television's the morning brief on Tuesday, special adviser to Governor Chuku Masoludo on
28:18
community security, Ken Mikai described the incident as unfortunate and unacceptable. He confirmed that the
28:26
operatives involved in the assault had been arrested and are currently under investigation. According to Amika, the
28:33
incident occurred during a joint security operation when operatives of Agenekmber, the state security outfit
28:40
established under the Anamra state homeland security law 2025, pursued
28:45
suspected cultists enter a residential compound. He explained that the operation was part of operation mudoki,
28:53
a code name for joint task force operations involving the police, army,
28:58
department of state services, civil defense, and the state security outfit.
29:03
The operatives were on the trail of some suspected cultists riding on motorcycles when they pursued them into a compound.
29:10
In the process of searching the houses in line with their mandate, the unfortunate incident involving the core
29:16
member occurred. While they were acting within the law, their conduct in that instance was unacceptable, he said. He
29:24
stated that the government wasted no time in addressing the matter once it was reported. Immediately the incident
29:31
happened, we arrested the operatives involved and placed them in detention. Our practice is to first carry out
29:37
preliminary investigations, bring in the victims and complainants, and then determine whether the matter warrants
29:44
internal disciplinary action or prosecution, he stated. Amika disclosed that the assaulted core
29:50
member was invited to his office alongside NYSC officials where he personally listened to their account of
29:56
the incident. Our conclusion is that while the operatives were on a legitimate assignment, the manner in
30:03
which they acted was not acceptable. We have made that very clear and
30:08
disciplinary measures are being taken, he added. Amikai also clarified the
30:13
distinction between operation Udo Kachi and Agenembmber noting that the former is a joint security operation involving
30:20
multiple agencies while the latter is the state statutory security outfit created by law. He assured residents of
30:28
Anamra that Governor Charles Soludo's administration will not condone any abuse of power by security agents
30:35
particularly against innocent citizens. Reacting NYC in a statement on Wednesday
30:41
said the management of the National Youth Service Corps NYC is saddened by
30:46
the unfortunate assault on one of its female core member by some operatives of the Anamra State Vigilante Group Innova
30:54
Idily South LGAA of Anamra State. Management strongly condemns the
30:59
unacceptable and dehumanizing manner in which the operatives conducted their operations irrespective of their initial
31:06
justification for the purported investigation they set out to carry out at the facility where the core members
31:11
were accommodated. While appreciating the concern of the general public over this horrific
31:17
incident as well as the initial measures taken by the Anamra state government, management wishes to assure the general
31:24
public that it believes in and supports the ongoing investigation by the Nigeria Police Force towards unraveling what
31:31
transpired. This we trust will help get justice for the core member in question and any other agrieved party.
31:38
Furthermore, necessary administrative procedures are underway to assist the core member in question in managing the
31:45
physiological and psychological trauma resulting from this unfortunate incident. Management wishes to use this
31:51
medium to restate its strong commitment to the welfare and security of core members nationwide.
31:57
Nigeria is ours. Nigeria we serve. Thank you. Caroline Embu, acting director
32:05

32:11
openness and our readiness to be fair to everybody,
32:18
we are going to take them now with or without the girl and members of our family. We're going to take them to the
32:26
police and hand them over the police. That is what we are going what we about
32:31

32:38
because some people have been insimating oh we are trying somebody is trying to sweep this under the carpet
32:44
in further demonstration that that is not what we are doing. There is no schedules in what we are doing and the
32:51
governor of Mr. Governor is not interested.
