Serving Nigerian Senator Prince Shindu Munir N WKCO, well known as Ned N WKO,
0:06
has been accused of sending policemen to arrest his in-laws after his fourth wife and a popular Mollywood super actress,
0:13
Regina Daniels, ran out of the matrimonial home over alleged domestic violence, intimidation, oppressions, and
0:20
maltreatment like a nobody in the senator's house. This the serving Nigeria Senator Ned Nen WCKO accused the
0:27
absconded wife Regina Daniels of substance abuse denying her allegations of domestic violence adding he made
0:35
efforts to stop her addict of substance abuse. Hence the wife Regina Daniels became violent and she started
0:41
assaulting the domestic staff and destroying properties in the house. According to Ned Nen WCKO in a statement
0:47
he had issued less than 48 hours after the star actress ran away from her
0:52
matrimonial home in October last month. While I took Moon to the hospital, a
0:58
scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina's main drug supplier, another known supplier of
1:05
drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called an in a swift reaction to the
1:10
arrest of his son and Regina Daniels brother yesterday. Rita Daniels, the mother-in-law, accused the serving
1:16
Nigeria senator, Neden WKO of trying to bite the finger that fed him, saying
1:22
Neden WCKO married her daughter because she was a popular actress and the senator needed the high star of her
1:28
status to boost his fallen star or his political relevance in the Nigeria politics, saying the senator will go
1:35
down for arresting her children, adding that people should take a lookout Ned in Woko's children if any of them looked
1:41
like from a billionaire father. Although the actual numbers of the in-laws arrested is yet to be officially stated
1:48
as one of the Reginaina Daniels sisters, initially said to be arrested alongside with the brother, was seen outside the
1:54
police station in Lagos State on Monday night in a video made available online by Regina Daniels family. verbatim.
2:03
Regina Daniels mother, Rita Daniels, while she was being video recorded and
2:08
screaming with a very loud, painful voice in front of the police station at night yesterday, said, "You married my
2:15
daughter because you wanted someone with high star to boost your fallen star. If
2:20
you think you can bite the finger that fed you, you'll go down. Regina gave you
2:25
$50,000 to support your election. All my resources also went into that same
2:30
election. You were mad. Nigeria media reported that the arrests came days
2:35
after actress Regina Daniels allegedly filed for divorce, accusing him of domestic violence. Calling out the
2:43
senator amid the marital crisis on Monday, Regina disclosed that her elder brother and sister had been arrested.
2:50
While appealing to the general public for urgent help, the 24year-old in a
2:55
series of posts on her Instagram page attributed her siblings arrest and detention to an alleged attempt by her
3:01
husband to force her into a rehabilitation center. Someone please help me. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
3:10
I never thought I would do this, but my big brother and big sister have been arrested. My baby sister might be
3:17
arrested as well until I return. According to him, return to rehab. Don't
3:22
even get me started on telling the world what you did to me with your stupid rehab talk. Daniels wrote, "You said I'm
3:30
a drug addict. What other name can you call me? A prostitute. Must things go
3:35
completely south if partners are no longer interested." Ned Nakco in a statement issued last month in October
3:43
said, "Reginina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and
3:48
alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation program or I fear for her
3:55
life and safety. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs. I have other wives and
4:03
none will ever accuse me of violence. Regina is the violent one here, slapping
4:09
and hitting three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. The
4:18
truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asakoro or outside Nigeria, especially Jordan,
4:25
where she will not have access to drugs. A clear-headed Regina would have taken
4:30
Moon to the hospital, but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse for exposing her drugs abuse.
4:37
While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina's main
4:44
drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil
4:50
called Anne. A gift. You wanted a a crown. You wanted somebody with high star so they can
4:56
boost your own your falling star. You wanted a high star to boost your falling star. I swallowed it. I kept I was
5:03

5:10

5:23

[Music] Shame on you.
6:48
Can you imagine? Can you imagine this?
7:05
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Fellow contestants in the last
7:10
concluded presidential election in Nigeria and an amber state former governor Peter Obi has said that the
7:16
current president of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tonubu le government lacks the passion
7:21
to stop the unwarranted killing of people in manners of criminal acts including terrorism stressing that while
7:29
the insecurity did not start with the present government what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of
7:35
competence commitment prudent use of resources is patriotism and passion on the part of APC. APCled government
7:43
leaders to effectively govern, galvanize and led Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed. A
7:51
nation where peace, truth, and justice reign. This Peter Obi stated via his
7:56
social media accounts on Monday evening in response to the United States. US
8:02
President Donald Trump announced plans to launch US military action in Nigeria
8:07
to wipe out terrorists killing Christians in the West Africa country. According to Peter Obi, the recent
8:14
pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a country of particular concern CPC and indicating
8:21
possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern. There is no doubt that Nigeria
8:28
is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and
8:35
property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have
8:40
been killed in Nigeria since May 2023. And as I have repeatedly lamented, the
8:46
unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a
8:52
stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent
8:59
leadership and governance. While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most
9:05
unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the
9:12
part of APC, APCled government leaders to effectively govern, galvanize and led
9:19
Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed. A nation where peace, truth, and justice reign. As
9:27
democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That
9:34
relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible
9:41
engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must
9:48
work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. Peter Obi had earlier on October 28th, 2025 condemned
9:56
the Nigeria government over rising criminal acts in drug abuse related crimes, saying when criminals can now
10:03
use the country logistics companies to distribute narcotics across the country, it shows how weak the government
10:09
institutions in Nigeria have become. The recent revelation that drug traffickers
10:15
have infiltrated Nigeria's courier and delivery services sector is worrisome and another sad reminder of how deep our
10:21
national decay has become. When criminal networks can now use logistics companies
10:27
to distribute narcotics across the country, it shows how weak our institutions and relevant monitoring
10:33
systems are. The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,
10:39
has repeatedly raised concern about this trend. Yet, it continues to grow, apparently aided by corruption and poor
10:46
regulation that have turned the enforcement body into a joke. Drug trafficking remains a big danger to
10:52
society and a serious international offense that cannot be overlooked. It destroys families, fuels crime, and
10:59
corrods the conscience of a nation. A country already battling insecurity,
11:04
large youth unemployment and hunger cannot afford a drug normalized culture.
11:10
Nigeria therefore needs stronger oversight and must rise above this
11:15
dangerous decline and rebuild a system where laws are sacred, leaders are accountable, and no one is above
11:22
justice. Nigeria will only heal when character, truth, and responsibility
11:27
return to governance.
11:32
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Barristister Jefferson Muhayan, a human
11:38
right lawyer and a political activist has said nothing wrong if it takes the intervention of the United States, US
11:45
President Donald Trump to end the raging fires of insecurity, institutional
11:50
wickedness and terrorism in Nigeria. The legal practitioner stated this in numbers of posts he published through
11:57
his personal social media platform since President Donald Trump announced US
12:02
intention to launch military action in Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing
12:07
Christians in the West Africa country saying if America's saber rattling
12:12
military threat is the dirty water needed to flush this country clean or quench the raging fires of institutional
12:19
wickedness, insecurity and terrorism. So be it. According to barrista Jefferson
12:26
Muhayeran, dirty water day quench fire. Nobody, yes, nobody deserves to die in
12:32
the hands of terrorists. If it takes Trump's intervention to wake up disgraceful governments to act swiftly,
12:39
vigorously, patriotically, and responsibly, so be it. The primary
12:44
business of government is the safety and protection of the lives and properties of citizens, whether Christians or
12:50
Muslims. If America's saber rattling is the dirty water needed to flush this
12:56
country clean or quench the raging fires of institutional wickedness, insecurity
13:01
and terrorism, so be it. Now government way serious citizens day loyal for a
13:08
country of concern to disgraced country. How did we get here? This is the lowest
13:13
of lows in Nigeria America relations. A country we ditched the UK for and
13:18
adopted its system of government. practically everything. This is not really about Trump. It's more about how
13:25
we treat crime, punishment, and our bogus criminal justice system. The
13:31
government has surrounded itself with fing and incompetent advisers who see
13:36
national security only through narrow tribal prisms and ritualism, adept at creating enemies for the government
13:43
instead of friends. No attempt at consiliative politics or national unity.
13:48
Almost 3 years. There are no ambassadors to major countries. Our foreign policy
13:54
chiefs are torn between transactional politics of financial safe heavens or alignment with non-aligned low energy
14:00
Caribbean countries. Our domestic policy leans more towards appeasement of fading
14:06
potentates rather than the enforcement of nation building rules. We can't continue this way. Either we sit down
14:13
and talk or others will do the talking to us. A collapsed or exploding Nigeria
14:19
is a threat to global peace and a humongous humanitarian disaster that must be avoided at all cost. We are
14:26
almost at the gate. Where's the break? We had reported that Ogan stateborn princess Olira Majo Dunanu has reacted
14:34
over the description of Nigeria as a disgraced country by President Donald
14:39
Trump of the United States US saying the greatest contribution the United States
14:45
and its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary,
14:51
credible and people centered Nigerian leaders, not the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has
14:58
entrenched poverty, division, and despair. Calling on the international community for the urgent need to uphold
15:04
democracy and human dignity amid President Trump's plans to begin US military actions in Nigeria to end the
15:11
killing of Christians in Nigeria. We had also reported that President Donald Trump of the United States of America
15:18
has placed US soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria. According to
15:23
President Trump, the US Department of War should prepare US troops for possible military action in Nigeria. If
15:30
the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians, the US troops may very well go into that now
15:37
disgraced country, guns a blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic
15:43
terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. This President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line
15:50
with Greenwich Meridian Time after President Bola Ahmed Tonubu personally signed a statement rejecting Trump
15:57
earlier claim on Friday that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria. Although President Bola Ahmed
16:04
Tanubu disagreed with Trump who had described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic
16:12
terrorists against Christians. But some Nigerians quickly took to the comments
16:17
section of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu post on ex social media platform and
16:23
pasted a screenshot of a tweet published by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu on January 29th, 2014 wherein President
16:32
Bola Ahmed Tonubu apparently had long accepted and agreed that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly a religious war
16:40
against Christians in the West Africa country verbatim in In the tweet, Tonubu
16:46
said, "The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of
16:52
Jonathan, then president of Nigeria to protect Nigerians." This old statement by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu indicated
16:59
that President Donald Trump of the United States of America may not be the first person to describe the insecurity
17:06
in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian communities in the West Africa country.
17:19
Lagos state command of the Nigeria police force has declared the founder and publisher of Sahare reporters news
17:25
media saware wanted for organizing protest in Lagos state which the Lagos state
17:32
commissioner of police Mashu Jimo said Saware has allegedly committed the offense of breach of public peace and
17:39
the police commissioner thereafter confirmed the arrest of 13 persons he described as vagabonds and miscreants as
17:45
group of people came out on Monday morning to protest against the demolition of their settlements after
17:51
their houses at the Koka and Oilari areas of a Warren Shaki community in Casaf local government area of Lagos
17:58
State were brought down at midnight on Saturday, hours after the state government announced that it had
18:04
compensated about 80 property owners on Friday, forcing some concerned citizens
18:09
to condemn the government for displacing families without a clear plan for relocation and reintegration into the
18:16
housing system. This Ammy Saware in an on the spot video statement made on
18:21
Monday at the scene of the protest said he could not come down from the vehicle because he had a privileged information
18:28
that there was plans to kill him if he comes out openly during the protest. According to Saware, the action of the
18:35
police explained why President Donald Trump of the United States. US is considering military action in Nigeria
18:42
because the US president has seen weak leadership and leaders do not mean well for the people. According to the Lagos
18:49
State Police Commissioner, I hereby as the commissioner of police, Lagos State Police Command declare so wanted. I
18:57
declare him wanted for causing disturbance of public peace and an act to commit a felony by planning and
19:03
putting all the plans in motion to block the third mainland bridge to cause hardship for Largoians and other
19:09
Nigerians, more especially visitors who are transients through this end. We will
19:15
not allow that. We are closing in on him. Anywhere he is, he should know that
19:20
we are closing in on him. We learned that he was in a bus and being videoed. Why didn't he come down? He came down in
19:28
Abuja. He should come down wherever he is. He should report himself to the
19:33
nearest police station. We are going to arrest him, investigate him, and prosecute him. The commissioner of
19:40
police said massive deployment of police personnel had been made, not just to the third mainland bridge, but also to other
19:47
parts of the state where coordinated protests are likely to hold. The police
19:52
boss stressed that this location is vital to the city's economy and the well-being of commuters. We will not
19:59
allow any action, peaceful or otherwise, that seeks to block the bridge and disrupt livelihoods. Any attempt to
20:06
obstruct the Third mainland Bridge is a direct threat to public safety and national infrastructure.
20:12
Anyone attempting to disturb public peace will be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted. Lagos is the heartbeat
20:19
of Nigeria's economy and we cannot afford chaos here. We have arrested 13
20:25
suspects who are vagabonds and miscreants who wanted to cause mayhem in Lagos state. Sare in a statement with a
20:32
video attachment said, "I recorded this video at the scene of the attack on peaceful protesters by Nigeria police
20:40
force in Lagos during today's Awaren anti-demolition protest which they
20:45
handled in the usual despicable and unconscionable manner. The Lagos police commissioner Mushu Jimmo has reportedly
20:52
declared me wanted for disturbance of public peace allegedly as a result of
20:58
his offic's inability to execute a shoot on site order given by his illegal IGP
21:05
car yode ebetoken in a waraki today. Despite my repeated attempts to contact
21:11
Nigeria police force commissioner Jimmo, he has not taken my calls. Nevertheless,
21:16
I plan to meet with him soon to address his declaration revolution. Now
21:23
issue report at the nearest police station. I hereby as the commissioner of police state police command declare so
21:30
wanted. I declar wanted for the act of
21:35
causing the sub of public peace and an an act to commit serious salony
21:42
by planning and putting all the planning emotions to traffic on the terminosian
21:50
and other Nigerians and meing visitors who are transiting through this head. We will not allow this to happen. These are
21:57
the equipment and we sure that we are closing it on him. Anywhere he is, he should be aware that we are closing on
22:03
him. We learn he's doing video and he couldn't come down. Let him come down. He came down in Abuja. Why is he afraid
22:09
to come down in Lagos? He should come down. He come wherever he is, he should report himself to the nearest police
22:14
station because I'm going to arrest him and investigate him and prosecute him. Thank you. We are made 13 arrest of this
22:21
mistrant and good luck because there's no any reason why this protest must take
22:27
place. The people who are concerned who are resident of okay have been paid compensation by government for those who
22:34
deserve uh who entitled rather to the compensation and the people have remained in peace and they've been
22:39
leaving the peace in the community but he's coming to Lagos to instigate crisis to violence will not be tolerated and I
22:46
want all the to go about their local businesses without any fear or let it
22:52
come down let him put his leg on ground he's riding in a vehicle and is making video that police cover everywhere and
22:58
they can't come down in the same way police cover everywhere that I came down in Abuja. Let it come down. Let me come down here and you will see uh the the
23:05
wrath of the Lord that will equally be emphased
23:21
peaceful protesters who has who who they demolish their houses in area of
23:27
Lagos and uh I think they had intelligence that I was I approaching the place as
23:33
you see captured. They just tear gasing them and they brought in more reinforcements.
23:38
All of them were carrying leader weapons. This is what we're talking about uh about Nigeria at this time. The
23:47
police that thought to be protecting the citizens of Nigeria are busy chasing after and attacking innocent civilians.
23:56
People who they don't build houses for, people they do nothing for. They're attacking them and this is what you just
24:03
you just watch live on my on my on my timeline now. So we couldn't enter the
24:10
community. The whole place is barricaded. Uh these are some of the demolitions that they've carried out.
24:16
And uh they relate to homes of poor people. This is where the poor people
24:22
have managed to run after the rich people drove them away from Makoko and
24:27
other places. We were told that the IGP, the illegal IGP, actually impaired in
24:34
the police uh team to the people who could shoot and kill me if I showed up.
24:39
But I still went there regardless. This is intelligence I had. Uh so right now
24:45
we'll be monitoring events as they're happening and uh time permitting we'll
24:51
return back to that community. We must fight for these people and ensure that they get what is theirs back. We cannot
24:58
leave this country in the hands of criminals to keep exploiting the poor. That is what got us into where we are
25:04
today. That is what led to what America uh decided could be their intervention
25:11
because they've seen weak and terrible leadership in Nigeria. They know that these guys don't mean well for
25:17
Nigerians, but that doesn't mean that America mean well for Nigerians. They just taking advantage of the weakness in
25:23
the leaders. Some of them are bringing you the news in a more digital
25:29
way. Ogan stateborn princess Olira Majo Dunaneru has reacted over the
25:35
description of Nigeria as a disgraced country by President Donald Trump of the
25:40
United States US saying the greatest contribution the United States and its
25:46
allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible and
25:53

25:59
division and despair. Calling on the international community for the urgent need to uphold democracy and human
26:06
dignity amid President Trump's plans to begin US military actions in Nigeria to
26:11
end the killing of Christians in Nigeria. While reacting to the recent remarks by President Donald Trump
26:17
portraying Nigeria as a disgraced country, Princess Oliverra acknowledged
26:22
the deep governance challenges confronting Africa's most populous nation, but emphasized that Nigeria's
26:29
struggle is not one of Christian targeted conflict, but one of governance, justice, and humanity
26:35
itself. The greatest contribution the United States and its allies can make at
26:40
this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible and people centered
26:46
Nigerian leaders, not the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, division and
26:53
despair. True partnership must empower integrity and merit, not those who have
26:58
rigged themselves into power through corruption and coercion. Princess Ola Terra called for global collaboration to
27:06
restore faith in governance and strengthen democratic institutions, noting that Nigeria's stability and
27:12
progress are critical not only for its citizens but for Africa and the world at large. Only through principled
27:19
engagement and unwavering support for democracy can Nigeria's citizens rebuild their nation in peace and dignity, free
27:26
from the devastation of renewed conflict. I look forward to continued dialogue, progressive cooperation and a
27:33
shared vision for humanity, she concluded. We have reported that President Donald Trump of the United
27:39
States of America has placed US soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria. According to President Trump,

to Nigeria and may very well go into that now disgraced country guns a blazing to completely wipe out the
31:58
Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our department of war to
32:05
prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and
32:10
sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians. Warning, the Nigerian government better
32:17
move fast. According to President Bola Ahmed Tonubu, Nigeria stands firmly as a
32:23
democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty. Since
32:28
2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with
32:34
Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and
32:40
regions. The characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not
32:45
reflect our national reality. Nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the
32:51
government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians. Religious freedom and tolerance have
32:58
been a core tenant of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution
33:06
and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths. Our
33:14
administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen
33:20
understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.
33:25
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a tweet on Friday had said that the
33:30
ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists and fani ethnic militias is
33:36
both tragic and unacceptable. As president of the United States said, "The United States stands ready,
33:45
willing, and able to act." In a swift reaction, Nigeria presidential
33:50
spokesperson Beao Anonuga replied to the tweet and said that dear Secretary
33:55
Rubio, there is no ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria. This
34:00
is a gross exaggeration of the Nigerian situation. What we do have are sporadic
34:05
attacks on some villages by bandits and terrorists and the attacks are religiously insensitive.
34:11
Christians, Muslims, churches and mosques are attacked randomly. What our
34:16
country requires from America is military support to fight these violent extremists in some states of our
34:22
country, not designation as a nation of particular concern. Secretary Rubio,
34:28
Muslim lives matter too. President Donald Trump in a statement through his truth social media platform on Friday
34:35
had said, "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands
34:41
of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a
34:49
country of particular concern. But that is the least of it. When Christians or
34:54
any such group is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria 3,100 versus 4,476
35:03
worldwide. Something must be done. I am asking Congressman Riley Moore together
35:09
with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee to immediately look into this matter and report back to
35:16
me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in
35:21
Nigeria and numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save
35:27
our great Christian population around the world.
35:33
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Reports on Saturday early morning in the
35:39
Africa country of Tanzania indicated that thousands of youths in the country have continued mass protest in the
35:46
Tanzania capital city of Dodma. Also simultaneously in the country former
35:51
capital city of Dar Salam which remains the country's largest city and its main
35:56
economic hub. While streets in Wanza, Imbbea and Arouchia have remained occupied by the agrieved youths who the
36:03
major opposition political party cha claimed have been shot at and over 700
36:09
of them have been killed by security operatives since the violent protest erupted in the country on Wednesday over
36:15
the 2025 presidential election allegedly marred by corrupt practices. But the
36:22
Tanzania Foreign Ministry dismissed the claim, saying, "The Tanzania government is not aware of any death recorded or
36:29
any of the protesters killed, adding the government has not used excessive force on the protesters. This the United
36:37
Nations UN Human Rights Office stated on Friday that it has a credible report of
36:42
at least 10 deaths recorded as a result of killing of protesters by the Tanzania
36:47
security forces and information from border communities between Tanzania and Kenya indicated that on Thursday October
36:55
30th in the afternoon chaos broke out at the Nanga border checkpoint as Kenyan
37:00
and Tanzanian youth threw stones at Tanzanian police and the police responded with live ammunition and tear
37:07
gas canisters leading to a casualty of two people shot dead by police and two
37:12
others including a Kenyan police officer was seriously injured while violent protest continued across major cities in
37:20
Tanzania. President Samy Sulu Hassan of Chama Chamanduzi CCM political party was
37:27
declared winner and the electoral body announced on Saturday early morning that the president secured a re-election
37:33
figure of 97.66% 66% of the votes which represents 31,913,866
37:43
ballots in the October 29th 2025 controversial presidential election
37:49
boycotted by the country main opposition political party chamber which the
37:54
chamber political party did by not signing the electoral code of conduct after the set deadline and the Tanzania
38:01
electoral body subsequently banned the chamber political party from participating in the general election
38:07
and all bi-elections till 2030. And this is in addition to the disqualifications
38:13
of challenges like Tundu Lishu of Chadma political party. The main opposition leader who remains detained since April
38:20
2025 and other serious challenger Luhaga MP of ACT Walendo was disqualified on
38:27
technicalities. The final result showed Hassan 971 and 66 John% of the vote dominating every
38:35
constituency. The electoral commission announced on state television a quick swearing in ceremony would take place on
38:42
Saturday. The state TV said on Friday there were reports that the Tanzanian
38:48
president Samia Sulu Huassan left her private residence in Zanzibar in a
38:53
military chopper and some local media reported on Saturday morning that her whereabouts had remained unknown.
39:00
Demonstrations erupted on Wednesday in Dar Salam, a city of more than 7 million
39:05
people after disputed and chaotic elections that saw the two main opposition parties barred from
39:11
participating. Protests over the disputed Tanzania election ended the fourth day on
39:16
Saturday with the protesters defying military deployment. Massive crowds earlier on Thursday gathered at the Dar
39:23
Salam International Airport in Tanzania apparently to prevent members of the political elites from fleeing the
39:29
country. It was gathered that in Dar Salam a 6 p.m. curfew was announced
39:35
after protesters in neighborhoods such as Kamar and Ubango set a bus and a gas station on fire. Local media also
39:42
reported unrest in Magammeni, Canondoni and Tandel while polling stations were
39:48
vandalized in parts of Arouchia and internet watchdog group Netlocks
39:54
confirmed a nationwide internet disruption as the unrest spread. President Hassan is seeking her first
40:00
full elected term after succeeding John Magafouli who died in 2021.
40:06
16 smaller opposition candidates also appeared on the ballot. Al Jazzer had
40:11
reported on Friday that the Tanzania's main opposition party has claimed that hundreds of people have been killed in
40:18
protests following this week's disputed elections. While the United Nations says it has credible reports at least 10
40:26
people died as we speak the number of deaths in Dar Salam is around 350 and
40:32
there are more than 200 in Wanza. Chadma party spokesperson Jonito told the AFP
40:38
news agency on Friday referring to the commercial capital in northern Tanzania.
40:44
If we add the figures from other places in the country, we arrive at a total of around 700 deaths. Chamber said its
40:52
members had to hospitals across the country to reach the figure. AFP reported it had received a similar toll
41:00
from a security source. Al Jazzer has been unable to independently verify the
41:05
number of deaths since elections on Wednesday. However, Tanzania's foreign
41:10
minister Mimmude Combo denied that excessive force has been used telling Al
41:17
Jazzer the government has no official figures on any protesters killed.
41:23
Currently, no excessive force has been used, Combo said on Friday, denying
41:28
opposition reports about hundreds of people killed. I've not seen these 700
41:33
anywhere. There's no number until now of any protesters killed. Combo said there
41:39
have been pockets of violence and vandalism in various areas against
41:44
government properties, including offices and vehicles. The national electricity
41:50
supply utilities have been burned, he added. The opposition's estimated toll
41:55
contrasted with that of the UN. In a Friday briefing, UN human rights spokesperson Cif Mago told Geneva
42:03
reporters that credible sources had indicated at least 10 deaths at the hands of security forces so far. We call
42:10
on the security forces to refrain from using unnecessary or disproportionate force, including lethal weapons, against
42:18
protesters and to make every effort to deescalate tensions, Mango said in the same briefing. Meanwhile, there are
42:25
unconfirmed reports that Tanzanian celebrities, including diamond platinums, have fled amid protests in
42:31
Tanzania, which the reports indicated that the protesters are now targeting celebrities who promoted Samia Sulu
42:37
during the electioneering campaign. This the British government through the foreign commonwealth and development
42:44
office FCDO has advised that Arouchia airport and Kilimanjaro international
42:50
airport are closed and that most international flights to and from Julius Neri International Airport in Dar Salam
42:56
have been cancelled due to ongoing political unrest and a strict curfew in Tanzania.
43:05
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. Kingsley Kanta Kanu the younger
43:10
brother to Mazi Namdi Kanu in an ex post as R shared by barrista a lawyer Ji Makor the coordinating lawyer for the
43:18
detained Bafra republic agitation leader Mazi Nami Kananu has given reasons why
43:23
his elder brother had continued to defend himself on the ground of no case submission saying the federal government
43:30
of Nigeria who made the accusations and filed the terrorism charges against the
43:35
Bafra leader has not been able to pinpoint point any aspect of the Nigerian laws that should warrant his
43:41
brother Mazi Nandi Kanu to enter defense citing several court rulings that
43:47
invalidated the federal government accusations against the detained Bafra leader this Kingsley Kantanu stated in
43:54
reaction to the commentary of Dr. Samadi published on this day newspaper after
43:59
the detained leader of the indigenous people of Bafra Nami Kanu on Monday
44:05
abandoned his earlier plan to call witnesses in his ongoing trial before the federal high court in Abuja. Nandi
44:12
Kanu who is being prosecuted on seven counts of terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government
44:19
last two Friday had prayed the court for an adjournment after informing the trial judge Justice James Amatosho that his
44:26
former legal team led by a former attorney general of the federation and minister of justice chief Kanu Agabi San
44:34
had yet to release his case file to him though Nandi Kanu had earlier expressed
44:40
his readiness to open his defense defense in a written application to the court in which he indicated his
44:45
intention to call witnesses and requested the issuance of witness summons. But at the resumed hearing on
44:52
Monday, Kanu told the court that upon reviewing the case file, he had concluded that there was no valid charge
44:58
against him. Nandi Kanu argued that since he believed the charges were unlawful and that the prosecution had
45:04
failed to establish any case, there was no need for him to proceed with his defense. According to Punch newspaper,
45:12
the trial judge, Justice James Omatosho, directed Kanu to file a written address
45:17
formally stating his position and to serve the prosecution accordingly. Justice further advised the IPOB leader
45:25
to consult experts in criminal law to understand the possible legal implications of his decision. The judge
45:32
thereafter adjourned the case to November 4th, 5, and six for the adoption of final written addresses
45:38
based either on Kanu's position that no case had been established against him or for him to proceed with his defense if
45:45
he decides otherwise. Kingsley cann recirculated by barrister Aloy on
45:52
Thursday tagged legal rejoinder to the misleading commentary by Dr. Samadi
45:58
published in this day of the 30th of October 2025 titled if I were Kanu I
46:05
would not refuse to write a defense stated as follows below. One
46:10
introduction correcting a misguided narrative the recent article by Dr.
46:16
Samardi in this day at thist of the 30th of October 2025 suggesting that Mazi
46:22
Nambi Kanu should write a defense instead of claiming he has no case exemplifies how poorly informed
46:28
commentary can distort constitutional discourse in Nigeria. While the piece parades itself as legal analysis, it
46:36
fundamentally misstates the law and facts of Marzi Kanu's case. Kanu is not
46:42
refusing to defend himself. He is asserting the obvious and unassalable fact that there exists no valid
46:48
cognisable charge known to Nigerian law for him to defend. That is not defiance.
46:54
It is constitutional obedience. Two, the settled matter of rendition. A closed
47:00
chapter contrary to Dr. Amadi's impression the illegality of Kanu's
47:05
abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya has been conclusively settled. It is not in contention and not
47:11
on trial. The matter has been determined by the court of appeal polludadop
47:19
JCA in FRN versus Kanu CA ABJ CR 625
47:27
2020 which discharged Kanu on the 13th of October 2022 and declared his rendition
47:34
unlawful. The United Nations Human Rights Council, UNHRC,
47:40
July 2022, and the UN Special Raportchure on Counterterrorism and Human Rights, March 2023, both
47:47
confirming violations of international law. the Federal High Court which recognized the illegality of the
47:54
rendition and the Supreme Court for Emanuel Ajim JSC who acknowledged that
48:01
Kanu's abduction was a grave violation of international and domestic law.
48:06
Therefore, to suggest that Kanu is hiding behind rendition is disingenuous.
48:12
That issue is resubicator finally and conclusively determined. Three, the crux
48:18
of the matter. No charge known to law. Marzi Kanu's insistence that he has no
48:24
case to answer rests squarely on section 3612 of the Constitution of the Federal
48:30
Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended. A person shall not be convicted of a
48:36
criminal offense unless that offense is defined and the penalty therefore is prescribed in a written law. The present
48:43
charge FHC ABJ CR 383
48:49
2015s is built upon laws that have ceased to exist. Counts 1 2 5 and 8 are
48:55
founded on the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act 2013 repealed by section
49:01
97 of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022, TPPA 2022.
49:09
Count 15, now seven, is founded on the Customs and Excise Management Act, CMA,
49:15
CAP C45, LFN 2004, repealed by section 281
49:22
of the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023 and counts 1 2 6 alleging acts in Kenya
49:30
have no validation under section 761 D, Roman figure 3, TPPA 2022. 2 which
49:38
mandates that the alleged act must be punishable under Kenyan law and certified by a Kenyan court. These are
49:45
not technicalities, they are jurisdictional voids. A man cannot be tried for an offense that is not defined
49:52
by an existing law. To insist otherwise is to drag the judiciary into constitutional heresy. Four,
50:00
constitutional supremacy and non-derogable immunity. When the court of appeal discharged Kanu on the 13th of
50:07
October 2022, that discharge triggered the non- derogable constitutional immunity enshrined in section 369.
50:16
No person who shows that he has been tried by any court of competent jurisdiction for a criminal offense and
50:22
either convicted or acquitted shall again be tried for that offense or for an offense having the same facts
50:27
constituting that offense. This immunity is permanent, self-executing and non-
50:33
derogable as confirmed by sections 1 3 and 451 of the constitution. No law,
50:41
court, or executive order can override it. Even in times of national emergency,
50:47
this right remains untouchable. Thus, the Supreme Court's remitt order of the
50:52
15th of December 2023 being inconsistent with section 369 cannot lawfully revive
50:59
a null charge. Under section 13, any act inconsistent with the constitution is
51:05
void abio bringing you the news in a more digital
51:13
way. President Bola Ahmed Tonubu of Nigeria has issued a revised policy
51:18
actions over the 2025 presidential pardons he had earlier granted to 175
51:24
persons some of whom were convicted murderers, deadly kidnappers which included Mariam Sander, who had spent
51:31
barely 6 years and 8 months at the Cledger Medium Security Custodial Center after she was convicted and sentenced to
51:38
death by hanging over the killing of her husband Bilyami Nubelloo in Abu Uja who
51:44
she stabbed three times repeatedly. This president Bola Ahmed Tanubu in his
51:49
earlier presidential pardon granted to the 37 years old convicted and condemned
51:54
murderer Mariam Sander had asked her to go home free because of her children.
51:59
part following public outcry and condemnation in the revised version of the presidential pardon signed into law
52:06
on October 21st, 2025 and made available to the public by the presidency on
52:12
Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. President Tonubu commuted the death sentence to 12
52:19
years imprisonment. Although the presidency never mentioned the total numbers of people granted the
52:24
presidential pardons but the list of beneficiaries made available by the presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga
52:32
indicated that only 86 persons were granted the presidential pardons and
52:38
Mariam Sander apparently spelled as Mariam Sander was last on the list and the names of earlier beneficiaries like
52:44
Kelvin Prosper Oniara were not seen in the revised edition of the list. Maybe the names were omitted due to excessive
52:51
public outcry that Prosper Kelvin Oniara was a convicted notorious high-profile
52:56
gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that were widely stated to be responsible for the kidnapping and
53:02
subsequent killing of a former Anamra state deputy governor Julian Wik. kidnapping of a prominent legal
53:09
practitioner Mocom on August 24th, 2013 along Benini road. And during the
53:15
kidnapping operation, the gunman ambushed and killed four police officers, including the divisional
53:21
police officer, DPO of Ahore Division, who led the police team in an attempt to rescue Mike Ozakome. Outside that the 44
53:29
years old Oniara was also stated to be responsible for the kidnapping of a judge in the Edeto state judiciary, a
53:36
top female official of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Furs among other
53:42
several members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC and security agents
53:47
and Oniara was also stated to carry out several armed robberies and kidnap operations in Delta, Edo, Rivers and
53:54
Anra states, maintaining operational base and detention camps in Warry and
53:59
Kakori community in Delta State, Ugbakolo community in Benawway State,
54:05
Benin City in Edo State, and Abberin Abia State that on the 18th of September
54:10
2013, Oniara issued a 60-day ultimatum to the federal government of Nigeria to
54:16
release some of his boys who were arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, or he would wreak havoc
54:23
on innocent Nigerian citizens. And on the 25th of September 2013, a combined
54:29
security team of the Nigerian Army and DSS operatives arrested Kelvin Prosper
54:34
Oniara, a convicted notorious terrorist, kidnapped Kingpin, and armed robber who
54:40
had been on the wanted list of the security agencies. And he was subsequently sentenced to 20 years
54:45
imprisonment, which he had spent 12 years in prison before President Bola Ahmed Tonubu had initially made an
54:52
attempt to release him. Details of the three press releases issued by the presidency in the course of the 2025
55:00
presidential pardons that elicited public outcry and rejections are presented verbatim in a descending order
55:06
of latest to former below. President Tonubu signs instrument of clemency and
55:11
pardons moves secretariat of prerogative of mercy committee to justice ministry.
55:17
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu GCFR has executed the relevant instruments of
55:22
release to complete the process of formally exercising his constitutional power of prerogative of mercy to grant
55:30
pardon and clemency to specific individuals who were earlier convicted for various offenses.
55:36
Following consultations with the council of state and public opinion on the matter, the president directed a further
55:42
review of the initially approved list for consideration in furtherance of the president's discretionary powers under
55:48
section 1751 and two of the 1999 constitution as amended. Consequently,
55:56
certain persons convicted of serious crimes such as kidnapping, drugrelated offenses, human trafficking, fraud,
56:04
unlawful possession of firearms, arms dealing, etc. were deleted from the
56:09
list. Others who had been hitherto pardoned in the old list had their sentences commuted. This action became
56:16
necessary in view of the seriousness and security implications of some of the offenses. The need to be sensitive to
56:23
the feelings of the victims of the crimes and society in general. The need to boost the morale of law enforcement
56:29
agencies and adherence to bilateral obligations. The concept of justice as a three-way
56:35
traffic for the accused, the victim and the state, society also guided the review. The approved list of eligible
56:42
beneficiaries has been transmitted to the Nigerian Correctional Service for implementation in line with the duly
56:49
signed instruments of release. Furthermore, to ensure that future exercises meet public expectations and
56:56
best practices, the president has directed the immediate relocation of the secretariat of the presidential advisory
57:02
committee on prerogative of mercy from the federal ministry of special duties to the federal ministry of justice.
57:09
President Tonubu also directed the attorney general of the federation to issue appropriate guidelines for the
57:16
exercise of the power of prerogative of mercy which includes compulsory consultation with relevant prosecuting
57:22
agencies. This will ensure that only persons who fully meet the stipulated legal and procedural requirements will
57:29
henceforth benefit from the issuance of instruments of release. The president appreciated the constructive feedback
57:36
and engagement from stakeholders and the general public on this matter. President Tonubu also reaffirmed his
57:43
administration's broader commitment to judicial reforms and improving the administration of justice in Nigeria.
57:50
Signed Beo Onuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy on
57:55
October 29th, 2025. Presidential prerogative of mercy
58:01
exercise at review stage not final. AGF Fagbe the office of the attorney general
58:08
of the federation and minister of justice wishes to clarify that no inmate approved for clemency under the recent
58:14
exercise of the president's power of prerogative of mercy has been released from custody. The process remains at the
58:21
final administrative stage which includes a standard review to ensure that all names and recommendations fully
58:27
comply with established legal and procedural requirements before any instrument of release is issued. It is
58:34
important to note that the last stage of the exercise after approval by the council of state is the issuance of the
58:41
instrument for the implementation of the decision concerning each beneficiary. This stage affords an opportunity for a
58:48
final look at the list for remedial purposes if any before the instrument is forwarded to the controller general of
58:54
corrections for necessary action. This verification process is part of the standard protocol and reflects the
59:01
government's commitment to transparency and due diligence. The honorable attorney general of the federation and
59:08
minister of justice appreciates the public's vigilance and constructive feedback which continue to strengthen
59:14
institutional integrity. Public engagement is always welcome as it demonstrates that Nigerians care deeply
59:22
about justice and good governance. There is no delay in the process. It is simply
59:27
following the law to the letter to ensure that only those duly qualified benefit from the president's mercy. As
59:34
soon as all legal and procedural checks are concluded, the public will be duly informed. The rule of law does not rush.
59:42
It ensures fairness. Signed. Prince Latif Fagmi San, Attorney General of the
59:48
Federation and Minister of Justice on October 16th, 2025.

1:19:09
lawyer barristister Jefferson Muharen has condemned and berated the federal government of Nigeria under the
1:19:15
presidency of Bolo Ahmed Tonubu for arresting detaining and remanding to Kujay prison barrista Aloy Makor the
1:19:23
lawyer to the detained Bafra republic agitation leader Mazi Nami Kanu after a
1:19:28
lawyer Makor was seen joining the free Nambi Kanu protest in Abuja on Monday.
1:19:34
According to the human rights lawyer who have remarkable experience in fighting against police extrajudicial killing,
1:19:41
one notable exception is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his or her own cases, but
1:19:49
not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client. The conducts of lawyers and the limit of
1:19:55
their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the presidency yesterday against the lawyer
1:20:01
of Mr. Nambdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at a scene in Abuja where protesters were
1:20:08
marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr. Kanu. The statement from the presidency and the police action is
1:20:14
obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the tmerity to represent a person the
1:20:21
government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court of public opinions. Ordinarily, a lawyer's bail
1:20:28
application for alleged crime of illegal protest won't be refused. The refusal is
1:20:33
concerning and turning a simple matter into a political case of vendetta and persecution. Beo Onuga the special
1:20:40
adviser to the president on information and strategy had on Monday tweeted while the free Nambdanu protest was ongoing
1:20:47
that I spotted a lawyer Mccor one of Nandi Kanu's lawyers among the small
1:20:53
group of protesters mobilized in Abuja by Om saware I wonder what Mr. Edji
1:20:58
Mccor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest. As a lawyer, he should be aware of the
1:21:05
principle of subjudicy, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case
1:21:10
before the court. The prosecution has concluded its case, and it is now incumbent upon Mr. Edi Mccor and the
1:21:17
other lawyers to mount a strong defense for Kanu. Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr. Aji Mccor
1:21:24
has resorted to extra legal tactics, joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Meanwhile, few hours ago,
1:21:32
the organizer of the protest and the founder of Sahare reporters news media
1:21:37
saw stated via his social media accounts that we have been informed that plans
1:21:42
are allegedly in place at Kuj Prison to harm Nambdi Kanu's younger brother fine
1:21:48
boy and a lawyer Jim Mccor, his special counsel inside Kuj Prison by special
1:21:53
orders assigned by the Asawaju Bola Ahmed Tonubu. Beo Onuga in the tweet
1:21:59
demanded a snaction against barrista Aloy Makor for joining the protest calling for the release of his client
1:22:05
Nambdi Kanu. Accordingly, Beao Anunna said, "I spotted a lawyer Makor, one of
1:22:12
Nambi Kanu's lawyers among the small group of protesters mobilized in Abuja by Amy Saware. I wonder what Mr. Eji
1:22:20
Makor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest. As a lawyer, he should be aware of the
1:22:27
principle of subjudicy, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court. The prosecution has
1:22:35
concluded its case, and it is now incumbent upon Mr. Edi Mccor and the
1:22:40
other lawyers to mount a strong defense for Carnu. Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr. Edi has
1:22:48
resorted to extra legal tactics, joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Ajimor's action questions his
1:22:56
adherence to professional ethics. Legal authorities should consider appropriate sanctions for the unethical conduct of
1:23:03
the bearded lawyer. Reacting barrista Jefferson in a statement signed and made
1:23:09
available on Tuesday said lawyers generally enjoy constitutional
1:23:14
protection for two kinds of speech. Like everyone else, though with at least two
1:23:19
important exceptions, lawyers can criticize government, including the courts and judges, and speak about
1:23:25
public issues, subject to such narrow limitations professional rules of practice will permit. One notable
1:23:32
exception is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his or her own cases, but not when
1:23:40
it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client. The conducts of
1:23:45
lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the presidency
1:23:51
yesterday against the lawyer of Mr. and Nambdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at a scene
1:23:57
in Abuja where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr. Kanu. The statement from the presidency
1:24:04
and the police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the
1:24:10
tmerity to represent a person the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court of public
1:24:16
opinions. This is a deeply concerning assault on our adversarial legal system
1:24:21
and the rights to legal representations. No matter the severity of the allegations or the repugnancy of the
1:24:28
case, an accused person remains innocent until the courts rule otherwise. Any
1:24:33
lawyer who knows his onions on his suya knows that there's no good or bad case until the final determination of the
1:24:40
case. Thus, the first great duty of an advocate or lawyer is to reckon or do
1:24:46
everything legally possible in the interests of his client. In the discharge of his professional duties, a
1:24:52
lawyer knows but one person in the whole of the world and that person is his client, even if it requires encouraging
1:24:59
protests or protesters who are in sympathy with his client's interests or speaking to the press to clarify the
1:25:05
allegations against his client. This is similar in reality and desperation in
1:25:10
capital offense cases. When government determinately provide the judge, prosecutor and free turncoat indolent
1:25:17
defense councils for accused persons, the government is determined to waste a
1:25:22
trinity of conspiracy and collusion against indigent and poor citizens. Tobo
1:25:27
on anger and other moral ethics schizophrenics. A lawyer's representation of a client, including
1:25:34
representation by appointment, does not constitute an endorsement of his client's political, economic, social, or
1:25:41
moral views. Arresting lawyers or making moral judgments about lawyers because of
1:25:46
the identity of their clients will inevitably impede access to justice and the availability of lawyers for
1:25:52
political dissents in the coming days. Barristister Jefferson Uharen stated the
1:25:57
remanded Nambdi Kanu lawyer a lawyer Jim Makor in a tweet on Tuesday said I am
1:26:03
safe and sound but still under custody at Kuj Prison. The magistrate refused to
1:26:09
listen to our submissions. He insisted on remanding us till Friday and got his
1:26:14
way. For context, keep in mind that they bypassed several magistrate courts in
1:26:19
town and headed to this one in Kujay. On Monday, a lawyer Gakor had tweeted that
1:26:25
we've just been arrested. Myself, Prince Emanuel and others. We are at FCT
1:26:31
command said, "Myself, fine boy, and others. Number one, Zarya Street, Guriki
1:26:37
2, Abuja." Earlier on Monday, Edji Mccor also tweeted that I'm in front of
1:26:43
Transcorp Hilton with a mammoth crowd that gathered for Marzi Nambi Caro October 20th and the police just
1:26:50
exploded tear gas. My eyes and throat hurt. They're scattering everywhere. Omi
1:26:56
Saware on Tuesday stated that I just learned that illegal IGP Kyod Eggbe
1:27:01
token has sent Nami Kanu's brother and lawyer a lawyer Makor and 11 others all
1:27:07
the way to Kuja magistrate court to get them remanded in prison at all costs.
1:27:12
Earlier on Monday, Amayle Saware said the despicable and illegal inspector
1:27:18
general of police car Egen has ordered the arrest and detention of 13 peaceful
1:27:24
protesters who participated in today's free Nambduno demonstration in Abuja.
1:27:29
Among those detained are Nambdi Kanu's lead lawyer, a lawyer Gi Mccau, Nambi
1:27:34
Kanu's brother, Fine Boy Kanu, Barrista Aer, and 10 others whose only crime was
1:27:41
exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest. Shockingly, the protesters have been taken to the
1:27:47
notorious SARS Avatar detention and torture facility in Abuja, a place long
1:27:52
associated with human rights abuses, unlawful detentions, and unspeakable cruelty. Their only offense was standing
1:28:00
for justice and freedom and protesting peacefully. In another post on Monday,
1:28:05
Omi Saware said, "We relocated to the FCT police command today to ensure the
1:28:11
unconditional release of Nambdi Kanu's brother Fineboy, his lawyer, barrista
1:28:17
Makor, and 11 others who were arrested and tortured for participating in free Namikanuno peaceful protest. While we
1:28:24
were there, we commenced another phase of our protest and the police responded by attacking us right in front of the
1:28:31
command. We were informed that the illegal inspector general of police car Yodken requested that they be
1:28:38
interviewed and possibly detained. This will not stand. On Tuesday evening, Omi
1:28:44
Saware stated in a statement that lawyers representing Barister Aloy Makor
1:28:50
and his brother Emanuel Fineboy Kanu filed a bail application today at the
1:28:55
Federal High Court in Abuja following their unlawful arrest during the free Namikanuno protest. However, in a
1:29:02
blatant display of bad faith, police prosecutors reportedly refused to accept service of the court summons delivered
1:29:09
by court baiffs. an intentional move to frustrate and delay the bail process.
1:29:15
Today we also found out they were so desperate that they thought a lawy for a leu. Today we proceeded to the Kujay
1:29:23
Magistrate Court where the Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of illegal IGP Kyod Egen hastily arraigned
1:29:31
Nambi Kanu's lead council a lawyer Mccor his brother Fineboy and 11 others
1:29:37
however the magistrate had already remanded them in Kuj prison until Friday
1:29:43
before their attorneys arrived at the magistrate's court
1:29:49
bringing you the in a more digital way. Nigeria Police Force NPF under the
1:29:55
leadership of the Inspector General of Police IGP Carode Egen who is currently
1:30:01
in the United States, US attending the International Association of Chiefs of
1:30:06
Police IAP annual conference in Denver, Colorado, USA alongside other senior
1:30:13
police officers has warned troublemakers to resist the temptation of hijacking the free Nambdi Kanu protest slated to
1:30:20
hold today across the West Africa country by the organizers and other group of Nigerians to demand the release
1:30:27
of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Namandu. Also, the NPF
1:30:33
reminded the organizers and the protesters to respect the federal high court order that restricted them from
1:30:39
staging the protest in certain areas in Abuja. Such areas which included Aso
1:30:44
Rock Villa and its environs, the National Assembly complex, force headquarters, the court of appeal, Eagle
1:30:51
Square and Shahu Shagari Way while assuring the protesters of protection. The NPF in a statement issued and made
1:30:58
availab by the force spokesperson Benjamin Hyundai indicated that the
1:31:04
Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and maintaining public peace
1:31:10
in accordance with constitutional provisions. This follows the subsisting order of the Federal High Court Abuja
1:31:17
division given on the 17th of October 2025 by honorable justice MG Yumar in
1:31:24
suit number FHC ABJ CS 2225ths
1:31:32
Federal Republic of Nigeria versus Amy Saware and four others. The order
1:31:37
restrains the respondents and any other persons or groups acting under their instruction from staging protests within
1:31:44
and around Aso Rock Villa and its environments, the National Assembly Complex, Force Headquarters, the Court
1:31:51
of Appeal, Eagle Square and Shahu Shagari Way. In deference to the authority of the court and in line with
1:31:57
the constitutional mandate of the police to enforce law and order, the force hereby calls on all groups whether in
1:32:04
support of or opposed to the ongoing agitation for the release of Marzi Nami Kanu to adhere strictly to the
1:32:11
provisions of the court order. The directive remains binding and enforceable pending further judicial
1:32:17
proceedings. The Nigeria Police Force recognizes and respects the rights of citizens to peaceful assembly and
1:32:24
expression. However, such rights must be exercised responsibly and within the
1:32:29
limits of the law, particularly where public safety, national security, and the rights of other citizens are
1:32:35
concerned. The court's intervention is therefore a safeguard, not a suppression
1:32:40
of constitutional freedoms. Accordingly, all intending protesters and
1:32:46
counterprotest groups are strongly advised to avoid restricted areas and to refrain from any act capable of
1:32:52
provoking confrontation or disturbing public order. The force will ensure the
1:32:57
free flow of traffic, protection of lives and property and security of all law- abiding citizens. Any person or
1:33:05
group that uses protests as coveret to incite violence, carry or use offensive weapons, vandalize public or private
1:33:12
property, kidnap or engage in acts likely to cause loss of life or serious
1:33:17
injury will be dealt with decisively. Offenders will be arrested, subjected to
1:33:22
full investigation, and prosecuted under relevant criminal laws, including laws
1:33:28
relating to public order, violent conduct, and terrorism where applicable. Those who incite others via social media
1:33:35
or other platforms should note that digital evidence will be used in investigations and prosecutions.
1:33:41
The inspector general of police IGP Care Adu Betokin has directed the FCT
1:33:48
commissioner of police and relevant operational commands to ensure strict enforcement of the court's order,
1:33:54
maintain visible and strategic deployments across vulnerable locations and ensure the safety of residents and
1:34:01
lawful activities in the FCT. All organizers and participants are
1:34:06
therefore advised to avoid the restricted areas specified by the court.
1:34:11
Refrain from carrying weapons, engaging in provocative conduct, or encouraging others to breach the law, and channel
1:34:19
grievances through the courts and other lawful avenues rather than the streets. The Nigeria Police Force assures
1:34:26
law-abiding Nigerians that adequate security arrangements have been made to protect lives and property.
1:34:33
Non-participants should go about their lawful businesses without fear. Anyone found to be in breach of the court's
1:34:39
order or in contempt of the law will be arrested and prosecuted. We have reported that the founder of Sahare
1:34:46
reporters news media and the organizer of the free Nambi Kanu protest Amile
1:34:51
Saware has refuted and debunked the reports circulating in some sections of the media that the federal high court
1:34:57
sitting in Abuja has stopped the upcoming Monday October 20th mass protest organized to demand the release
1:35:04
of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nandi Kanu saying the media
1:35:10
report is false and a calculated attempt to distract members of the public from coming out to join the protest. Adding
1:35:17
Nambi Kanu is so sick that the people must come out now to set him free. The
1:35:22
sicknesses alleged by Amy Saware apparently challenged the medical report issued by the Nigerian Medical
1:35:29
Association NMA who had submitted its panel report before the trial court on
1:35:34
Thursday that Nambdi Kanu is fit to face trial that the sickness is not
1:35:39
life-threatening. But Punch newspaper reporter at the court on Thursday reported that it was the Department of
1:35:46
State Services DSS lawyer who happened to be one of the parties in the dispute
1:35:51
that presented the NMA medical report before the court. We are yet to ascertain the independency, fairness,
1:35:58
objectivity, accuracy and transparency of the Nigerian Medical Association NMA
1:36:04
in conducting the medical examination. We have reported that Justice Muhammad Garba Umar of the Federal High Court
1:36:11
sitting in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the Inspector General of Police IGP Car Yodken to stop
1:36:19
the upcoming Monday October 20th planned mass protests by Nigerians to demand the
1:36:25
release of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nami Kanu. But
1:36:31
according to the organizer of the protest, Amay Saware, after the judge initially declined to grant the Nigeria
1:36:38
Police Force an ex party motion to stop the planned protest in the open court,
1:36:43
the Federal High Court judge, Justice Umar, reportedly granted the motion in chambers, imposing a ban on protests at
1:36:50
Aso Rock Villa, National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a
1:36:55
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review. The protest remains unstoppable. While this is
1:37:02
ongoing, the United States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to
1:37:08
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest
1:37:16
may lead to disruptions and violence. We had also reported that the Nigerian Army
1:37:22
Authority has issued a statement denying threat messages issued against members of the public ahead of the planned mass
1:37:29
protest slated for October 20th, 2025 to demand for the release and freedom of
1:37:34
the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nami Kanu. Just as the
1:37:40
organizer and chief campaigner Amy Saware, the publisher of Sahare Reporters News Media met to seek
1:37:46
understanding with the former president of Nigeria, Good Luck Jonathan, who
1:37:51
according to Saware promised to visit President Bola Ahmed Tonubu to discuss the issue with him.

Bringing you the news in a more digital way. Founder of Sahare reporters news
1:38:06
media and the organizer of the free Nambi Kanu protest, Amy Saware has
1:38:11
refuted and debunked the reports circulating in some sections of the media that the Federal High Court

1:38:23
of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nami Kanu saying the media

1:38:37
Nandi Kanu is so sick that the people must come out now to set him free. The sickness as alleged by Amielle Saware
1:38:44
apparently challenged the medical report issued by the Nigerian Medical Association NMA who had submitted its
1:38:51

1:39:14

1:39:20
of the Nigerian Medical Association NMA in conducting the medical examination.
1:39:26
In a statement on Saturday, Omi Saware said the Federal High Court in Abuja has
1:39:32
not stopped the proposed free Namikanuno protest slated for Monday, October 20th, 2025.
1:39:38
Contrary to the misleading claims being circulated by police lawyers and sections of the media, no order was
1:39:45
granted restraining citizens from exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly. Justice Umar of the
1:39:52
Federal High Court declined to issue any exarty order sought by the police to halt the nationwide protest altogether.
1:39:59
What exists is a purported court order obtained in chambers by lawyers of the
1:40:05
police which has not been served on anyone asking that protesters not protest at Aso Rock Villa National
1:40:11
Assembly, Eagle Square and a certain Shahu Shagari way. The latest false claims designed to confuse the public
1:40:18
and discourage participation. The protest date is sacrianked. The movement is unstoppable. In another
1:40:25
statement, Omi Saware said, "I was deeply involved in the struggle for the validation of the June 12th election,
1:40:32
and I remember vividly how the system operated back then, how they weaponized the judiciary to buy time, to deceive
1:40:39
the public, and to justify injustice." They kept saying Abiola's case is in
1:40:45
court, using that as a shield for tyranny until they eventually killed him a day before his supposed release. It
1:40:53
was a well orchestrated tragedy disguised as legal processes. Today I
1:40:58
see the same script being replayed with Marzi Nami Kanu. The same manipulation,
1:41:03
the same excuses, fake narrators, fake protesters, the same abuse of process.
1:41:09
The language has not changed. Only the victims have. History is repeating
1:41:14
itself before our eyes. And just as we fought to expose the truth, then we must
1:41:20
do so now before it's too late. The Nandi Kanu I saw in court on October
1:41:25
16th is very ill. We must rescue him before another citizen is sacrificed to the bloodthirsty Nigerian elite club.
1:41:33
Punch newspaper had during the week reported that the Nigerian medical association on Thursday informed the
1:41:40
federal high court in Abuja that the illness of the leader of the indigenous people of Bafra Nami Kanu is not
1:41:47
life-threatening. The medical panel set up by the NMA president said it had
1:41:52
concluded the health assessment ordered by the court on the IPOB leader and found that Kanu is fit to stand trial.
1:41:59
About 2 weeks ago, the trial judge, Justice James Omatosho, directed the
1:42:05
association to independently assess Kanu's health status following conflicting medical reports presented by
1:42:12
the defense and the prosecution. While DSS council, Mr. Aamalo Adig Boyba, S
1:42:18
maintained that Carnu's health could be adequately managed at the DSS medical facility, the defense council, Mr.
1:42:26
Anyizu s insisted that his client's health was deteriorating and that he
1:42:31
should be taken to the national hospital for proper care. This prompted justice
1:42:36
to order the NMA to conduct an independent medical examination to determine among other things whether the
1:42:43
DSS medical facility could cater to Kanu's needs or if he should be transferred to the national hospital as
1:42:49
requested by the defense. The report is also expected to determine whether Kanu
1:42:54
is fit to stand trial. However, at the previous sitting, Homoso had to adjourn
1:43:00
for October 16th for the presentation of Kanu's medical examination report by the
1:43:05
NMA due to the inability of the panel to conclude its assessment of the IPOB
1:43:10
leader health status and present its findings before the court. The DSS
1:43:16
requested a one-week adjournment to allow the NMA medical board to conclude its investigation.
1:43:22
Kanu is currently being prosecuted by the federal government on charges relating to alleged terrorism. According
1:43:29
to the panel's report, which was submitted to the court on October 13th by the prosecution team led by a womalo
1:43:36
and partly read in open court during Thursday's proceedings, the medical body stated that the defendant's ailment does
1:43:43
not pose any immediate danger to his life and confirmed that he is fit to stand trial. Relying on the medical
1:43:49
findings and in the absence of any objection from council to the parties, Omatosha ruled that the court was
1:43:55
satisfied that the defendant could proceed with his trial and oayed the medical facility of the DSS for his
1:44:01
medical care. The judge consequently granted Carno six consecutive days
1:44:07
beginning from October 23rd to 30 to open and close. The defendant has until
1:44:13
the 30th day of October to close his defense, Omatosho said. Additionally,
1:44:18
Justice Omatosho granted an oral application by Kanu's lead council, Chief Kanu Agabi, SN, seeking permission
1:44:27
for a private consultation between the defendant and his legal team outside the Department of State Services premises.
1:44:34
Agabby had argued that the defense team feared the discussions with Kanu might be monitored or recorded by the DSS. The
1:44:42
court therefore approved that the private meeting be held within the courtroom with only Kanu and his lawyers
1:44:47
present. The consultation is scheduled to take place between 9:00 a.m. and 12
1:44:53
noon on October 22nd ahead of the resumption of the trial on October 23rd.
1:44:59
The court adjourned for continuation of the trial and commencement of Kanu's defense to the 23rd of October 2025.
1:45:07
We have reported that Justice Muhammad Garba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday apparently
1:45:13
rejected the plans by the Inspector General of Police IGP Car Yodken to stop
1:45:20
the upcoming Monday October 20th planned mass protests by Nigerians to demand the
1:45:25
release of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nandi Kanu. But
1:45:31
according to the organizer of the protest, Ommyles Saware, after the judge initially declined to grant the Nigeria
1:45:38
Police Force an ex party motion to stop the planned protest in the open court, the Federal High Court judge, Justice
1:45:46
Umar reportedly granted the motion in chambers imposing a ban on protests at Aso Rock Villa. National Assembly or
1:45:53

1:45:58
