4:12
minister Benjamin Netanyahu during government meeting in Deona and when he lit the first Hanukkah candle in Israel
4:20
later on Sunday said there may be more terrorist attacks on the Jewish people
4:25
because the Australia government is weak. We know there will be additional attacks. The safest place for the Jewish
4:31
people in the world is where the government, the army and the security forces will defend them. saying on
4:38
August 17th, 2025, he wrote a letter to the prime minister of Australia wherein
4:44
he said, "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the anti-semitic
4:49
fire. It rewards Heramas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian
4:54
Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Anti-semitism is
4:59
a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent. It retreats when leaders act. I
5:05
call upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you replaced
5:11
weakness with weakness, and appeasement with more appeasement. Your government did nothing to stop the spread of
5:17
anti-semitism in Australia. You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were growing inside your country. You
5:24
took no action. You let the disease spread and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today. In a tweet
5:31
posted through his personal verified exocial media account few hours ago,
5:36
Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, "In moments like this, we
5:41
must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror."

6:18
critical condition in hospital. Local media reported that both men pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group,
6:26
adding that Naveiv first came to authorities attention in October 2019, but the Australian prime minister said
6:32
an assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence. His
6:40
father arrived in Australia on a student visa in 1998, which was transferred in
6:46
2001 to a partner visa and later resident return visas. Meanwhile, the
6:51
man who tackled one of the gunmen to the floor and saved people from getting shot at Bondi Beach in Australia was

7:26
oil supply observed by lighting candles on a manora chanukia and reciting
7:32
special prayers and eating oily foods like las and sgani which symbolizes
7:37
Jewish resilience and freedom. The terrorists attacked the Jewish community on the first day of the festival after
7:44
Israel government had on Saturday authorized the killing of a senior Hamas commander Rajsad who Israel through a
7:51
statement issued by the office of the prime minister of Israel stated that in recent days Rajad had been engaged in
7:58
rehabilitating the terrorist organization, planning and carrying out attacks against Israel and rebuilding an
8:05
attack force in blatant violation of the ceasefire rules and Hamas 's commitments to adhere to the US President Donald
8:12
Trump's plan, stating instead of promoting demilitarization, he was engaged in rearming for acts of
8:18
terrorism. Although Israel government has not issued any statement since the
8:23
Sunday attacks on Jewish community in Sydney as at the time of filing in this news report on Sunday but her mass in a
8:32
news report published by Al Jazzer confirmed that Sad had since been killed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza city of
8:39
Palestine. One of the video footages of the Sunday attack on the Jewish community in Sydney showed a moment an
8:46
apparent very brave man disarmed one of the gunman during the mass shooting, overpowered the suspected terrorist,
8:53
collected the gun and turned the gun against the suspected terrorist without shooting him and the suspect gets away,
8:59
then joins another suspected terrorist shooter who continues firing from a bridge. New South Wales police declared

9:46
to protect lives as the investigation develops. The police confirmed that there are two known suspects. One is
9:53
dead while the other is in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Officers are currently investigating
9:59
whether there was a third perpetrator involved in the attack. An improvised explosive device was found in a car at
10:06
Bondi which was linked to the deceased perpetrator. We'll bring you the latest updates as we get them. The man who was
10:14
seen in footage wrestling a firearm from one of the shooters at Bondai Beach has been praised as a genuine hero by the
10:21
New South Wales state premier Christopher John Mins. The state premier
10:26
Christopher Mins said at a press conference on Sunday that founder of Sahare reporters news media Omi Saware
10:34
on Saturday apparently refused to back down on allegations against the founder and the general overseer of a mega fire
10:41
ministry. Apostle Johnson sule man over reported cases of alleged paying people
10:46
to fake miracles and give a chemical substance or injection to Apostle OC
10:51
Benjamin of Fulfiller's House Church to perfect an alleged fake miracle of raising a dead man back to life. An
10:58
allegation a man simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made while speaking during an interview with Carru Media
11:06
earlier in the year, which according to Omi Saware for Apostle Johnson Sleman to
11:12
remove the names of the media that conducted the podcast interview and the person that made the statement in the 1
11:18
billion naira lawsuit filed against him and Sahare reporters news media shows
11:24
Apostle Johnson Sleman knows the speaker. Apostle wisdom was probably saying the truth. This Omi Saware stated
11:31
in reaction to the statement earlier made by Apostle Johnson Sleman on his
11:37
personal social media accounts on Saturday, accusing the founder of Sahare
11:42
Reporters, Omi Saware of always trying to play the victim's role that wants to
11:47
be persecuted for fighting for Nigeria whenever a case is filed against him in
11:52
the court of law for passing across false and misleading information to defame someone's character. saying that
11:59
forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt and one cannot forgive someone who has neither
12:04
acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse. In the podcast interview, Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle
12:11
Benjamin in conspiracy with some members of his church hired a man from Enugu state and numbers of other persons who
12:18
acted as neighbors and family members that brought the hired and paid man to the church program held in a Bongi state
12:25
as a dead man. According to the apostle wisdom, the hired man who pretended to
12:30
be dead was put inside a coffin and transported from Enugu to Abonyi state with an ambulance. He said the coffin
12:37
was not covered until the man was brought closer to the church to avoid him being killed out of suffocation.
12:43
Apostle wisdom said the initial plan was to inject the hired and paid man with an injection Apostle Johnson Sulleman
12:50
allegedly gave to Apostle Benjamin. Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle Benjamin refused to use the injection
12:57
because he was afraid that the chemical substance may kill the hired and paid man. Hence, they decided to open the
13:04
coffin until the time for the fake and staged miracle was to be conducted. To butress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said
13:12
the man that was brought as if he was dead to the church program was sweating because the few minutes the man was
13:17
covered inside the coffin, he suffered some level of heat that made his body start sweating. Sare in numbers of
13:24
statements between Friday and Saturday said, "For your information, Apostle
13:29
Johnson Sulleman has sued me regarding the controversy surrounding his alleged support for individuals faking miracles
13:36
during an interview conducted by car truth. This lawsuit marks the second occasion Apostle Johnson Sulleman has
13:43
taken legal action against me over contentious decisions made during his ministry following a previous lawsuit
13:50
concerning Stephanie Otobo that he later amended and removed Otobo. The case has
13:55
been ongoing for approximately 8 years and the most straightforward aspect of apparent unsafe nature of Nigeria was

15:34
statement on Sunday, Chief Daniel Aoy, the president general of Norfia Progressive Union gave a brief account
15:41
of the attack on the Anamra market, saying, "This evening, I received with deep shock the tragic news of an attack
15:48

19:25
His statement came after soldiers appeared on state television and announced the removal of President
19:31
Patrice Talon, the closure of borders and suspension of political parties.
19:36
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has commended the gallantry of Nigeria's military on Sunday for responding
19:42
swiftly to the request by the government of Benin Republic to save its 35-year-old democracy from coup plotters
19:49
who struck at dawn today. Acting on two separate requests from the government of Benin, President Tonubu first ordered
19:56
Nigerian Air Force fighter jets to enter the country and take over the airspace to help dislodge the coup plotters from
20:03
the national TV and a military camp where they had regrouped. The Republic of Benin through its Ministry of Foreign
20:10
Affairs in a note verbal requested immediate Nigerian air support in view
20:16
of the urgency and seriousness of the situation and to safeguard the constitutional order, protect national
20:22
institutions and ensure the security of the population. In the second request,
20:27
the authorities in Benin requested the deployment of Nigerian air force assets within Benino's airspace for
20:34
surveillance and rapid intervention operations under Beninled coordination.
20:39
The Benin government also requested Nigerian ground forces strictly for missions approved by the Benanese
20:45
command authority in support of the protection of constitutional institutions and the containment of
20:51
armed groups. Nigeria's chief of defense staff general oli oed said all the
20:57
requests have been fulfilled with [ __ ] Nigeria police force under the leadership of IGP car yode ebetoken has
21:05
kept mom since reports indicated that the US trained private intelligent officer Harrison Guamu who was invited
21:12
to facilitate the rescue of a married couple husband and wife simply identified as Mr. and Mrs. Ibrahim that
21:19
was kidnapped since late November at their home in Aili community, a village near Achi Polytenic in the Etso West
21:27
local government area of Edeto state has been arrested and remanded to prison by
21:32
a court sitting in Benin City, the Edeto state capital over allegations that the
21:37
private intelligent officer Harrison Guamu underpaid the ransom money given to him to give to the kidnappers to
21:44
rescue the married couple in captivity. The reports of Harrison Guamnishu's arrest and subsequent remand to prison
21:50
custody became widespread after a popular Nigeria social media activist
21:55
Vincent Martin's oxay in a video statement on Friday morning alleged that he has facilitated the arrest of the
22:02
private intelligent officer Harrison Guamishu for allegedly removing 5.4
22:07
million naira from the total amount given to him by the victim's family to help pay as ransom to the kidnappers.
22:14
This occurred after the sting operations Guamnosu had prepared the ransom money
22:20
for was probably aborted after a man whose real names may be Oshio Rema job
22:26
Ace G leaked revealed and exposed the plan sensitive security information online. According to the suspect who
22:33
leaked out the sensitive security operational plans of Guamu, Harrison Guamu never told the family he was going
22:40
to remove some money from the ransom that the kidnappers said the money was not complete, hence only the wife was
22:46
released. The man still held in captivity due to the incomplete ransom payment. The suspect Oshio Rema job ag
22:54
in a video recorded statement stated that he was the one that helped facilitate the service of Harrison
22:59
Guamnau when the family of the kidnapped victims requested for it. The action of the suspect may have prompted Harrison
23:06
Guamnau to aboard the sting operations. Obviously, for the safety of his personal life and the lives of Nigeria
23:14
soldiers and other security operatives, he does use to execute and complete his sting operations against kidnappers,
23:21
which often leads to the killing of the kidnappers and recovering of the total ransom paid. For the purpose of clarity,
23:27
sting operations is a deceptive practice and undercover tactics used by journalist or intelligent officer or
23:34
security operative to get closer to a suspected criminal or criminals in order to be more familiar with the criminals
23:41
and the environment they operate. And the deceptive practice may include the journalist or intelligent officer or
23:47
security operative pretending to give ransom money to kidnappers in a manner that can cause a delay and proper
23:54
assessment of the environment before the security troops may launch offensive attack against the criminals. The action
24:00
of ace of leaking out sensitive security information may be of interest. Why Nigeria soldiers and other security
24:07
operatives are being killed in large numbers whenever in previous and recent years the Nigeria security troops are on
24:14
rescue missions including the recent mass killing of soldiers along with brigadier General Uber Musa and civilian
24:21

30:11
appointed as the new defense minister and the Senate has scheduled today, Wednesday, for his screening in line
30:17
with the law and constitutional procedures of the Africa country. According to Oasis, no matter what
30:24
religion you belong to, no matter where you come from, no matter what profession, we Nigerians are being
30:30
killed and our governments seem to be incapable of protecting us. We are part
30:36
of the world community. If our government cannot do it, we have right to call on the international community
30:42
to do for us what our government cannot do for us. And for anybody to say because those who are being killed
30:48
belong to this region, belong to this religion, belong to this tribe and then others too are being killed cannot be an
30:55
acceptable excuse. Before I left government, I know we had capacity to
31:00
pick up anybody in Nigeria who commits crime anywhere. The capacity that we
31:05
didn't have then is after we have identified and located such a criminal. We have no capacity to be able to pick
31:12
him up without moving on land or by air. Now we have capacity with drones. You
31:18
can take him up. Why are we not doing that? Why are we apologizing? Why are we
31:23
negotiating? In a statement on Sunday, Dar warned that Obisanjo's comments risk
31:28
distorting the security. President Bola Ahmed Tonubu of Nigeria has declared a state of emergency over growing
31:35
insecurity in the West Africa country and as such banned open grazing with a
31:41
call on herders association to tell their members to surrender illegal weapons in their possession and as well
31:47
gave a matching order to the department of state services. The SS to recruit more forest guards to chase away
31:53
terrorists and bandits from all forests in Nigeria. President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
31:58
also called on members of the National Assembly to review existing laws in Nigeria and give rooms for the
32:04
establishment of state police. In his words, President Bola Ahmed Tonubu while
32:10
declaring the state of emergency on security matters on Wednesday said today
32:16
in view of the emerging security situation, I have decided to declare a nationwide security emergency and order
32:22
additional recruitment into the armed forces. By this declaration, the police
32:27
and the army are authorized to recruit more personnel. The police will recruit an additional 20,000 officers, bringing
32:35
the total to 50,000. Although I had previously approved the nationwide upgrade of police training
32:41
facilities, the police authorities are by this statement authorized to use various national youth service core
32:48
camps as training depots. The offices being withdrawn from VIP guard duties
32:54
should undergo crash training to debrief them and deliver more efficient police services when deployed to security
33:00
challenged areas of the country. The DSS also has my authority to immediately
33:05
deploy all the forest guards already trained to flush out the terrorists and bandits lurking in our forests. The
33:12
agency also has my directive to recruit more men to man the forests. There will
33:18
be no more hiding places for agents of evil. My fellow Nigerians, this is a
33:23
national emergency and we are responding by deploying more boots on the ground, especially in security challenged areas.
33:31
The times require all hands on deck. As Nigerians, we should all get involved in
33:37
securing our nation. Let me take this moment to commend our security agencies
33:42
for working together to secure the release of the 24 school girls in Kebi and the 38 worshippers in Quirre State.
33:50
We will continue to sustain the efforts to rescue the remaining students of Catholic school in Niger state and other
33:56
Nigerians still being held hostage. To the leadership and rank and file of our
34:01
armed forces, I commend your courage and your sacrifice. This is a challenging
34:06
moment for our nation and for the military institution itself. I charge you to remain resolute to restore peace
34:14
across all theaters of operation and to uphold the highest standards of discipline and integrity. There must be
34:20
no compromise, no collusion and no negligence. The Nigerian people are
34:26
counting on you and this administration will provide the support you need to succeed. In addition, our administration
34:33
will support state governments which have set up security outfits to safeguard their people from the
34:38
terrorists bent on disrupting our national peace. I call on the National Assembly to begin reviewing our laws to
34:45
allow states that require state police to establish them. States should rethink establishing boarding schools in remote
34:52
areas without adequate security. Mosques and churches should constantly seek
34:58
police and other security protection. There are concerns that a renewed war may broke out between Israel and
35:03
Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon as Pope Leo I 14th prepares to visit Turkey and Lebanon beginning this week from the
35:11
27th of November to the 2nd of December 2025 which will be the first apostolic
35:16
journey of the head of Catholic Church outside Italy of his pontificate. The possible renewed war may occurred
35:23
following Hezbollah stands to retaliate attacks Israel launched in the capital of Lebanon, Beirut on Sunday, killing
35:30
Hezbollah chief of staff and second in command Hayam Ali to Bataba alongside
35:35
four other persons namely Kasam Hussein Bjawi Mustapa Assad Barrow Rifat Ahmed
35:42
Hussein, Ibrahim Ali Hussein and funeral is being held in their honor in Beirut
35:47
as at the time of filing in this report on Monday Israel while confirming the killings said to Batabai is a mass
35:55
murderer. His hands are soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans. And it is not for nothing that the US
36:01
put a bounty of $5 million on his head. Although previous popes had visited
36:06
Lebanon in the past successfully, but the current pope, Pope Leo I 14th, is the first USborn citizen to be pontiff
36:14
or head of the Roman Catholic Church. And one of the Hezbollah official Mimmud Cumati in a statement on Sunday as he
36:21
stood near the bombed out building in the Harod rake suburb said Israel's
36:26
strike crossed a red line and Hezbollah's leadership would decide on whether and how the group would respond.
36:33
The Hezbollah while confirming toabi's death said Tbatabai the great jihadist
36:38
commander who had worked to confront Israeli enemy until the last moment of
36:44
his blessed life ascended as a martyr in sacrifice for Lebanon and its people following a treacherous Israeli attack
36:50
on Harat Rake area in Beirut's southern suburb. Israel carried out the air
36:55
strike on the southern Beirut suburb for the first time since June, killing at least five people and wounding 28,
37:02
according to Lebanon Health Ministry. Funeral proceedings for Hayam Ali to Batabai, the Hezbollah commander and
37:09
others were held on Monday in Beirut's southern suburbs. Early photographs and
37:14
videos from the scene showed Hezbollah members carrying Tobatabai's coffin draped in yellow and green and raising
37:21
the group's yellow flags as they marched through the Lebanese capital. Hezbollah said the strike launched almost exactly
37:28
a year after a ceasefire ended that Israel Hezbollah war threatened an escalation of attacks just days before
37:35
Pope Leo I 14th is scheduled to visit Lebanon on his first foreign trip outside Italy. In its statement, the IDF
37:43
said to Batabayi commanded most of Hezbollah's units and worked hard to restore them to readiness for war with
37:50
Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office said earlier Sunday that the Hezbollah chief of staff was
37:56
the target of the Israeli strike on southern Beirut. Office of the Prime Minister of Israel in a statement on
38:03
Sunday said, "A short while ago in the heart of Beirut, the IDF attacked the
38:09
Hezbollah chief of staff who had been leading the terrorist organization's buildup and rearmament. Prime Minister
38:16
Netanyahu ordered the attack upon the recommendation of the defense minister and the IDF chief of staff. Israel is
38:23
determined to act to achieve its objectives everywhere and at all times. The Israeli Prime Minister, Justice
38:30
James Amatosho of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Nigeria Federal Capital Territory on Thursday convicted
38:37
and sentenced Mazi Namdi Kanu to a passionate prison term of life imprisonment against the penalty of
38:43
death sentence he said he ought to have pronounced on the Bafra Republic agitation leader over the statements
38:49
Mazi Nandi Kanu made on October 20th, 2020 through Radio Bafra during the
38:55
warlike situation between the civilian population and Nigeria security operatives following series of reports
39:02
that the Nigeria security operatives were shooting and killing innocent unarmed protesters who were protesting
39:08
against bad government and police brutalities tagged NS protest justice in
39:13
his ruling said Nambi Kanu was responsible for the killing of 175
39:19
security operatives during the NSIS civil military warlike situation on
39:25
October 20th 2020 And Justice Amatosho in his ruling failed to state the
39:30
numbers of civilians that were killed by Nigeria security operatives during the warlike situation that apparently forced
39:38
Nambdi Kanu to start teaching the civilians on how to manufacture Molotov cocktail, also known as petrol bombs,
39:45
urging them to go and meet welders to buy bulletproof doors from the welders to defend themselves and launched a
39:52
retaliatory defensive attacks against the Nigeria security operatives who were accused of turning the peaceful protest
39:59
into a barrage of gunfire, human rights violations and abuses. Justice Amatosho
40:05
convicted Nambdi Kanu on counts four and five over the N's protest and he
40:10
described Nambi Kanu action during the violent protest as an act of terrorism.
40:15
On count one, Justice Amatosho convicted Nambdi Kanu for an act of preparatory to
40:20
commit terrorism over statements made by Nambdi Kanu in May 2021. Justice
40:26
Amatosho in the ruling claimed and ruled that Nambi Kanu declared war against security operatives in the southeast
40:34
states without provocation. This statement by Justice Amatosho apparently made him look like a biased person.
40:41
Because after justice read the entire 7count charge and convicted Nambdi Kanu,
40:47
Justice Amatosho thereafter recognized a media news report and broadcast of
40:52
Nambdi Kanu on April 25th, 2021 wherein Nambi Kanu vowed to avenge the killing
40:59
of Aconso, the then head of Eastern Security Network ESN by a combined team
41:05
of Nigeria security operatives led by the Nigerian Army under the command of
41:10
former Former Chief of Army Staff, Late Lieutenant General Tarried Lagbarger, who was then the general officer
41:17
commanding GOC82 division. The Nigerian Army insisted in its report that a conso
41:23
was killed during exchange of gunfire with the security operatives. But Nambdi Khano rejected the claim and repeatedly
41:30
stated that Aconso was killed in his sleep and the killing was a pure case of assassination by the federal government
41:36
of Nigeria as a way to weaken the people of southeast states and denied and the ability to be able to establish the
41:43
eastern security network ESN to defend themselves against Boohh Haram
41:48
terrorists and expansionist foreign fani invaders from different countries like Mali, Gambia, Sagal, Nigerian Republic

and Chad that were advancing from the northern part of bringing you the news in a more digital
