0:00
Nigeria police force under the
0:02
leadership of IGP Car Yodken has kept
0:05
months since reports indicated that the
0:07
US trained private intelligent officer
0:10
Harrison Guamu who was invited to
0:12
facilitate the rescue of a married
0:14
couple husband and wife simply
0:17
identified as Mr. and Mrs. Ibrahim that
0:19
was kidnapped since late November at
0:21
their home in Aili community, a village
0:24
near Achi Polytenic in the Etsico west
0:27
local government area of Edeto state has
0:30
been arrested and remanded to prison by
0:32
a court sitting in Benin City, the Edeto
0:35
state capital over allegations that the
0:37
private intelligent officer Harrison
0:40
Guamu underpaid the ransom money given
0:42
to him to give to the kidnappers to
0:44
rescue the married couple in captivity.
0:46
The reports of Harrison Guamishu's
0:48
arrest and subsequent remand to prison
0:50
custody became widespread after a
0:52
popular Nigeria social media activist
0:55
Vincent Martin's oxay in a video
0:57
statement on Friday morning alleged that
1:00
he has facilitated the arrest of the
1:02
private intelligent officer Harrison
1:04
Guamnishu for allegedly removing 5.4
1:07
million naira from the total amount
1:09
given to him by the victim's family to
1:12
help pay as ransom to the kidnappers.
1:14
This occurred after the sting operations
1:17
Guamnosu had prepared the ransom money
1:20
for was probably aborted after a man
1:22
whose real names may be Oshio Rema job
1:26
Ace G leaked revealed and exposed the
1:28
plan sensitive security information
1:30
online. According to the suspect who
1:32
leaked out the sensitive security
1:34
operational plans of Guamu, Harrison
1:37
Guamu never told the family he was going
1:40
to remove some money from the ransom
1:42
that the kidnappers said the money was
1:44
not complete, hence only the wife was
1:46
released. The man still held in
1:48
captivity due to the incomplete ransom
1:50
payment. The suspect Oshhio job Ace G in
1:54
a video recorded statement stated that
1:56
he was the one that helped facilitate
1:58
the service of Harrison Guamnau when the
2:00
family of the kidnapped victims
2:02
requested for it. The action of the
2:04
suspect may have prompted Harrison
2:06
Guamnau to abort the sting operations.
2:09
Obviously, for the safety of his
2:11
personal life and the lives of Nigeria
2:14
soldiers and other security operatives,
2:16
he does use to execute and complete his
2:18
sting operations against kidnappers,
2:21
which often leads to the killing of the
2:23
kidnappers and recovering of the total
2:25
ransom paid. For the purpose of clarity,
2:27
sting operations is a deceptive practice
2:30
and undercover tactics used by
2:32
journalist or intelligent officer or
2:34
security operative to get closer to a
2:37
suspected criminal or criminals in order
2:39
to be more familiar with the criminals
2:41
and the environment they operate. And
2:43
the deceptive practice may include the
2:45
journalist or intelligent officer or
2:47
security operative pretending to give
2:49
ransom money to kidnappers in a manner
2:52
that can cause a delay and proper
2:53
assessment of the environment before the
2:56
security troops may launch offensive
2:58
attack against the criminals. The action
3:00
of ACE of leaking out sensitive security
3:03
information may be of interest. Why
3:05
Nigeria soldiers and other security
3:07
operatives are being killed in large
3:09
numbers whenever in previous and recent
3:12
years the Nigeria security troops are on
3:14
rescue missions including the recent
3:16
mass killing of soldiers along with
3:18
brigadier General Uber Musa and civilian
3:21
JTF members at Wajerro village in Boro
3:24
state by criminals. We are convinced
3:26
that if Mr. Ace G and the family of the
3:29
kidnapped victim. Nigeria's prominent
3:31
music icon, Innocent Idia aka Twoface
3:34
Idibia, has cried out for help after
3:37
domestic violence he had with his new
3:39
wife Natasha during social media live
3:42
stream organized by Daddy Freeze on
3:44
Monday over allegations and video
3:47
evidence that surfaced online showing
3:49
Twoface Idibia being arrested with the
3:52
two of his hands handcuffed at the back
3:54
in London due to altercations he had
3:57
with his new wife Natasha. The act of
3:59
domestic violence between the African
4:01
queen music kuna and his new wife has
4:04
drawn the attention of the Edeto state
4:06
house of assembly and the house of
4:08
assembly on Tuesday summoned the wife.
4:10
Natasha who is also a member of
4:12
parliament in the Edeto state house of
4:15
assembly to appear before its
4:16
disciplinary committee on ethics over
4:19
what the state assembly described as a
4:21
behavior capable of embarrassing the
4:23
house. It may be recalled that at the
4:25
beginning of the year, Twofaceibia
4:27
announced his breakup with Annie
4:29
McCauley in January 2025 and presented
4:33
Natasha as new wife to be soon Twoface
4:36
younger brother. Charles Idibia came
4:39
online and said his elder brother. Two
4:41
barber has moved from frying pan to
4:44
burning furnace, expressing deep
4:46
displeasure over the choice of honorable
4:48
Natasha as a wife. Two-faced Idia in an
4:51
Instagram story a few hours ago made a
4:54
simple post with a write up, "Help me."
4:57
He did not state what he wants people to
5:00
help him with or give a clearer picture
5:01
of whatever he needed help for. Many
5:04
people in the society included suggested
5:06
the needed help may not be unconnected
5:08
with marital issues he's probably having
5:11
with his new wife, Natasha. But in a
5:14
video later today, he said, "This is
5:17
getting out of hand. It's a very
5:19
dangerous situation. I understand what
5:22
fans can do, but I am perfectly okay.
5:25
This is putting Natasha at risk. Please,
5:27
I need everybody to calm down and c re.
5:31
We're going to resolve all these issues.
5:34
People day get issues for House Nobi
5:36
today. Please friends, family, everybody
5:39
ceasefire. Please, I am perfectly fine.
5:43
I didn't post that post. The Nigerian
5:45
music icon Two-Face Idibia addressed
5:48
growing concerns after a troubling post
5:50
circulated online suggesting he was in
5:52
distress and calling for help. The Edeto
5:55
State House of Assembly on Tuesday
5:57
summoned the wife and the lawmaker
5:59
representing Iiggore constituency
6:01
Natasha E. Robosa to explain what
6:04
members describe as behavior capable of
6:06
embarrassing the house after videos of
6:08
the legislator who is married to music
6:11
star innocent two barber Idia kept
6:14
spreading online. According to the
6:17
speaker blessing Agbeku the lawmaker
6:20
must appear before the house committee
6:21
on ethics and privileges within one week
6:24
to respond to the allegation of
6:25
misconduct linked to her recent actions.
6:28
Agbaku said, "Honorable Natasha E.
6:32
Robosa has been summoned to appear
6:33
before the ethics and privilege
6:35
committee of the assembly due to her
6:37
recent conduct which has been trending
6:39
online. This conduct drags the name of
6:42
the house into the mud and it is the
6:44
responsibility of the members of the
6:46
assembly to conduct themselves well.
6:48
This house has cable minds, educated
6:51
people who had been dragged in the mud
6:53
for too long by our colleague, Honorable
6:55
Natasha. She has been trending on social
6:58
media and television. Presidency under
7:01
the command and control of president
7:03
Bola Ahmed Tonubu has said that if the
7:05
ex-president of Nigeria Elusigan Oasis
7:08
wished to help in addressing apparent
7:10
worsening security situations in the
7:12
West Africa country, Obisanjo must first
7:15
acknowledge the past failures that
7:17
allowed terrorists to gain a foothold
7:20
and then support ongoing efforts, not
7:22
undermine them. The presidency through
7:24
the office of the special adviser to the
7:26
president on media and communications.
7:28
Sunday Dar stated this few days ago in
7:31
reactions to the statement of Oasis that
7:34
Nigerians have rights to call on
7:36
international communities intervention
7:38
if the government can no longer protect
7:40
them. Stating that the terrorists also
7:43
kill people of other religions should
7:45
not be an excuse. This Aubberanjo said
7:48
while he was speaking at a Christmas
7:50
carol event in Joss plateau state after
7:53
President Donald Trump of the United
7:55
States US had raised alarm of what the
7:57
US president described as Christians
8:00
genocide in Nigeria and threatened to
8:02
send US troops to Nigeria if the killing
8:05
of Christians continued by the suspected
8:07
Islamic terrorists. A presidential
8:09
statement that has seen spike in the
8:11
activities of kidnapping and killings in
8:14
Nigeria and thus creating more attention
8:16
to the apparent unsafe nature of the
8:19
country which included the abduction of
8:21
25 school girls from government girls
8:24
comprehensive secondary school MAGA Kebi
8:27
the kidnapping of 38 worshippers in
8:29
Ericu quara and the mass abduction of
8:32
over 300 students and teachers still in
8:35
captivity at a Catholic school in Niger
8:38
state with Daily wave of coordinated
8:40
attacks across the northern and southern
8:42
parts of the country wherein the bandits
8:44
often suspected to be fani herdsmen have
8:47
abducted moniks, worshippers, a bride,
8:50
married couples, students and travelers,
8:52
taking at least 600 people as captives
8:55
within 14 days and the rising unsafe
8:58
nature of things could have made the
9:00
Nigeria's defense minister Al-Haji
9:02
Muhammad Bedaru Abu Bakar to attend a
9:05
resignation letter on Monday while the
9:07
immediate past chief of defense staff.
9:09
General Christopher Musa has since been
9:11
appointed as the new defense minister
9:13
and the Senate has scheduled today,
9:15
Wednesday, for his screening in line
9:17
with the law and constitutional
9:19
procedures of the Africa country.
9:21
According to Aubanjo, no matter what
9:24
religion you belong to, no matter where
9:26
you come from, no matter what
9:28
profession, we Nigerians are being
9:30
killed and our governments seem to be
9:33
incapable of protecting us. We are part
9:36
of the world community. If our
9:38
government cannot do it, we have right
9:40
to call on the international community
9:42
to do for us what our government cannot
9:44
do for us. And for anybody to say
9:47
because those who are being killed
9:48
belong to this region, belong to this
9:50
religion, belong to this tribe and then
9:53
others too are being killed cannot be an
9:55
acceptable excuse. Before I left
9:58
government, I know we had capacity to
10:00
pick up anybody in Nigeria who commits
10:02
crime anywhere. The capacity that we
10:05
didn't have then is after we have
10:07
identified and located such a criminal.
10:09
We have no capacity to be able to pick
10:12
him up without moving on land or by air.
10:15
Now we have capacity with drones. You
10:18
can take him up. Why are we not doing
10:20
that? Why are we apologizing? Why are we
10:23
negotiating? In a statement on Sunday,
10:26
Dar warned that Oasis comments risk
10:28
distorting the security. President Bola
10:31
Ahmed Tonubu of Nigeria has declared a
10:33
state of emergency over growing
10:35
insecurity in the West Africa country
10:38
and as such banned open grazing with a
10:41
call on herders association to tell
10:43
their members to surrender illegal
10:44
weapons in their possession and as well
10:46
gave a matching order to the department
10:48
of state services. DSS to recruit more
10:51
forest guards to chase away terrorists
10:53
and bandits from all forests in Nigeria.
10:56
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu also called
10:59
on members of the National Assembly to
11:01
review existing laws in Nigeria and give
11:04
rooms for the establishment of state
11:06
police. In his words, President Bola
11:09
Ahmed Tonubu while declaring the state
11:11
of emergency on security matters on
11:14
Wednesday said today in view of the
11:16
emerging security situation, I have
11:19
decided to declare a nationwide security
11:21
emergency and order additional
11:23
recruitment into the armed forces. By
11:26
this declaration, the police and the
11:28
army are authorized to recruit more
11:30
personnel. The police will recruit an
11:32
additional 20,000 officers, bringing the
11:37
Although I had previously approved the
11:39
nationwide upgrade of police training
11:41
facilities, the police authorities are
11:44
by this statement authorized to use
11:46
various national youth service core
11:48
camps as training depots. The offices
11:51
being withdrawn from VIP guard duties
11:54
should undergo crash training to debrief
11:56
them and deliver more efficient police
11:58
services when deployed to security
12:00
challenged areas of the country. The DSS
12:03
also has my authority to immediately
12:05
deploy all the forest guards already
12:08
trained to flush out the terrorists and
12:10
bandits lurking in our forests. The
12:12
agency also has my directive to recruit
12:15
more men to man the forests. There will
12:18
be no more hiding places for agents of
12:20
evil. My fellow Nigerians, this is a
12:23
national emergency and we are responding
12:26
by deploying more boots on the ground,
12:28
especially in security challenged areas.
12:31
The times require all hands on deck. As
12:34
Nigerians, we should all get involved in
12:37
securing our nation. Let me take this
12:40
moment to commend our security agencies
12:42
for working together to secure the
12:44
release of the 24 school girls in Kebi
12:46
and the 38 worshippers in Quirre State.
12:50
We will continue to sustain the efforts
12:52
to rescue the remaining students of
12:54
Catholic school in Niger state and other
12:56
Nigerians still being held hostage. To
12:59
the leadership and rank and file of our
13:01
armed forces, I commend your courage and
13:04
your sacrifice. This is a challenging
13:06
moment for our nation and for the
13:08
military institution itself. I charge
13:11
you to remain resolute to restore peace
13:14
across all theaters of operation and to
13:16
uphold the highest standards of
13:18
discipline and integrity. There must be
13:20
no compromise, no collusion and no
13:23
negligence. The Nigerian people are
13:26
counting on you and this administration
13:28
will provide the support you need to
13:30
succeed. In addition, our administration
13:33
will support state governments which
13:35
have set up security outfits to
13:37
safeguard their people from the
13:38
terrorists bent on disrupting our
13:40
national peace. I call on the National
13:43
Assembly to begin reviewing our laws to
13:45
allow states that require state police
13:47
to establish them. States should rethink
13:50
establishing boarding schools in remote
13:52
areas without adequate security. Mosques
13:56
and churches should constantly seek
13:57
police and other security protection.
14:00
There are concerns that a renewed war
14:02
may broke out between Israel and
14:03
Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon as Pope
14:05
Leo I 14th prepares to visit Turkey and
14:08
Lebanon beginning this week from the
14:10
27th of November to the 2nd of December
14:13
2025 which will be the first apostolic
14:16
journey of the head of Catholic Church
14:18
outside Italy of his pontificate. The
14:21
possible renewed war may occurred
14:23
following Hezbollah stands to retaliate
14:25
attacks Israel launched in the capital
14:27
of Lebanon, Beirut on Sunday, killing
14:30
Hezbollah chief of staff and second in
14:32
command Hayam Ali toabah alongside four
14:36
other persons namely Kasam Hussein Bjawi
14:39
Mustapa Assad Barrow Rifat Ahmed
14:42
Hussein, Ibrahim Ali Hussein and funeral
14:45
is being held in their honor in Beirut
14:47
as at the time of filing in this report
14:49
on Monday Israel, while confirming the
14:52
killings, said, "To Batabai is a mass
14:55
murderer. His hands are soaked in the
14:57
blood of many Israelis and Americans,
14:59
and it is not for nothing that the US
15:01
put a bounty of $5 million on his head.
15:04
Although previous popes had visited
15:06
Lebanon in the past successfully, but
15:09
the current pope, Pope Leo I 14th, is
15:11
the first US-born citizen to be pontiff
15:14
or head of the Roman Catholic Church."
15:16
And one of the Hezbollah official Mimmud
15:19
Cumati in a statement on Sunday as he
15:21
stood near the bombed out building in
15:23
the Harid rake suburb said Israel's
15:26
strike crossed a red line and
15:28
Hezbollah's leadership would decide on
15:31
whether and how the group would respond.
15:33
The Hezbollah while confirming
15:34
Tbatabai's death said Tbatabai the great
15:38
jihadist commander who had worked to
15:41
confront Israeli enemy until the last
15:43
moment of his blessed life ascended as a
15:46
martr in sacrifice for Lebanon and its
15:48
people following a treacherous Israeli
15:50
attack on Harat Rake area in Beirut's
15:52
southern suburb. Israel carried out the
15:55
air strike on the southern Beirut suburb
15:57
for the first time since June, killing
16:00
at least five people and wounding 28,
16:02
according to Lebanon Health Ministry.
16:05
Funeral proceedings for Hayam Ali to
16:07
Batabai, the Hezbollah commander and
16:09
others were held on Monday in Beirut's
16:11
southern suburbs. Early photographs and
16:14
videos from the scene showed Hezbollah
16:17
members carrying Tobatabai's coffin
16:19
draped in yellow and green and raising
16:21
the group's yellow flags as they marched
16:23
through the Lebanese capital. Hezbollah
16:26
said the strike launched almost exactly
16:28
a year after a ceasefire ended that
16:30
Israel Hezbollah war threatened an
16:33
escalation of attacks just days before
16:35
Pope Leo I 14th is scheduled to visit
16:38
Lebanon on his first foreign trip
16:40
outside Italy. In its statement, the IDF
16:43
said to Batabayi commanded most of
16:46
Hezbollah's units and worked hard to
16:48
restore them to readiness for war with
16:50
Israel. Israeli Prime Minister
16:52
Netanyahu's office said earlier Sunday
16:54
that the Hezbollah chief of staff was
16:56
the target of the Israeli strike on
16:58
southern Beirut. Office of the Prime
17:01
Minister of Israel in a statement on
17:03
Sunday said, "A short while ago in the
17:06
heart of Beirut, the IDF attacked the
17:09
Hezbollah chief of staff who had been
17:11
leading the terrorist organization's
17:13
buildup and rearmment. Prime Minister
17:16
Netanyahu ordered the attack upon the
17:18
recommendation of the defense minister
17:20
and the IDF chief of staff. Israel is
17:23
determined to act to achieve its
17:25
objectives everywhere and at all times.
17:28
The Israeli Prime Minister, Justice
17:30
James Amatosho of the Federal High Court
17:33
sitting in Abuja, Nigeria Federal
17:35
Capital Territory on Thursday convicted
17:37
and sentenced Mazi Nami Kanu to a
17:40
passionate prison term of life
17:41
imprisonment against the penalty of
17:43
death sentence he said he ought to have
17:45
pronounced on the Bafra Republic
17:47
agitation leader over the statements
17:49
Mazi Nandi Kanu made on October 20th,
17:52
2020 through Radio Bafra during the
17:55
warlike situation between the civilian
17:57
population and Nigeria security
17:59
operatives following series of reports
18:02
that the Nigeria security operatives
18:04
were shooting and killing innocent
18:05
unarmed protesters who were protesting
18:08
against bad government and police
18:10
brutalities tagged N's protest justice
18:13
in his ruling said Nambdi Kanu was
18:16
responsible for the killing of 175
18:19
security operatives during the NSIS
18:22
civil military warlike situation on
18:25
October 20th 2020 And Justice Amatosho
18:28
in his ruling failed to state the
18:30
numbers of civilians that were killed by
18:32
Nigeria security operatives during the
18:35
warlike situation that apparently forced
18:38
Nami Kanu to start teaching the
18:40
civilians on how to manufacture Molotov
18:42
cocktail, also known as petrol bombs,
18:45
urging them to go and meet welders to
18:47
buy bulletproof doors from the welders
18:49
to defend themselves and launched a
18:52
retaliatory defensive attacks against
18:54
the Nigeria security operatives who
18:56
wereed accused of turning the peaceful
18:58
protest into a barrage of gunfire, human
19:01
rights violations and abuses. Justice
19:04
Amatosho convicted Nambdi Kanu on counts
19:07
four and five over the NC's protest and
19:10
he described Nambi Kanu action during
19:12
the violent protest as an act of
19:14
terrorism. On count one, Justice
19:17
Amatosho convicted Nambdi Kanu for an
19:19
act of preparatory to commit terrorism
19:22
over statements made by Nambdi Kanu in
19:24
May 2021. Justice Amatosho in the ruling
19:28
claimed and ruled that Nambdi Kanu
19:30
declared war against security operatives
19:33
in the southeast states without
19:35
provocation. This statement by justice
19:38
apparently made him looked like a biased
