released on Friday night that Saware
1:28
allegedly brought bandages along
1:30
alongside other personal items when he
1:32
came to the station to honor the police
1:34
invitation. And when the IGP ordered
1:37
internal investigation to ascertain if
1:40
truly the media publisher was tortured
1:42
as claimed, Sare refused to allow

his hand he had claimed he suffered as a

result of the police personnel brutality
1:53

time Saware was released on Friday
1:59
night, bandages were still seen. Human

rights activist and founder of Sahare
2:04
Reporters News Network Om Saware has
2:07
been reportedly manhandled on Thursday
2:10
early morning inside police cell by
2:12
offices from the Inspector General of

2:46
a.m. on Thursday entered Saware cell at
2:49
the force intelligence department in
2:51
Abuja with alleged pretense to take the
2:53
media publisher to court. But when the
2:56
journalist demanded to see the charges
2:58
against him, he was allegedly handled
3:00
roughly by a team. An amra is no doubt
3:03
one of the states in Nigeria
3:04
experiencing incessant and very high
3:07
rates of kidnapping that in some cases
3:09
do lead to the death of the abducted
3:11
victims and killing of security
3:12
operatives and some other persons around
3:14
the scene of the mostly monetary crimes
3:17
of hostage taking for a ransom.
3:19
Specifically, our crime reporters
3:21
gathered that there is hardly no week
3:23
without one or two persons being
3:25
kidnapped along the Anidaryi federal
3:27
road in an amber state, especially
3:30
between Oba community and Aiala town. As
3:33
we gathered that most victims of
3:35
kidnapping in the state are hardworking
3:37
small and medium-sized business owners
3:40
who most of whom struggled out of
3:42
poverty to become wealthy, successful
3:44
traders. This we learned there may be no
3:47
wealthy successful business owner along
3:49
the Ahiala Olu road left to be kidnapped
3:52
or forced to pay ransom to the
3:54
kidnappers. While in Ober wealthy people
3:57
are being kidnapped quietly and ransom
3:59
in millions are paid in silence to the
4:01
kidnapped. Anna Minister of Defense

5:03
government under the leadership of
5:05
Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo has said
5:07
that the state is currently in search of
5:09
justice over the killing of a young and
5:11
creative fish farmer Martin Zafes once
5:15
well known by his business name as fish
5:18
magnet who was reportedly shot on the

leg while being kidnapped on Sunday the

state capital. This Dr. George Mogulu,
5:33
the Labour Party candidate in the
5:35
forthcoming governorship election in the
5:37
state, said that an amber state is no
5:39
longer safe, adding that people are
5:42
being killed, slaughtered for their
5:43
families to bury in silence while the
5:46
state governor, Professor Charles
5:48
Chukuma Soludo looks the other way with
5:51
no sympathy, condolence visit, or
5:53
statement. Specifically, Mogulu said, "I
5:56
must speak frankly and Ambra is no
5:58
longer safe, not even in the state
6:01
capital. Our people are being sought.

barely 10 days after Israeli soldiers
9:07
bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church
9:09
in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, the state
9:12
of Israel prime minister has said that
9:14
Israel is now being portrayed as the
9:16
enemy of Christians, stating that Israel
9:19
has a thriving Christian community, the
9:21
only thriving Christian community in the
9:23
broad radius of the Middle East, where
9:25
Christians are not tolerated, they're
9:28
cherished. adding, "You can light
9:30
Christmas trees in Nazareth." But in
9:32
Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, when
9:35
Israel left and the Palestinian
9:37
Authority came in, the Christian
9:39
majority shrank from 80% to under 20%
9:42
because there was no more Israel to
9:44
protect them. Though, Prime Minister
9:47
Benjamin Netanyahu did not mention the
9:49
bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza
9:51
that led to the killing of three persons
9:53
and injuring to several people,
9:55
including the parish priest. It could be
9:57
recalled that the Israel Defense Forces
10:00
IDF action against the Christian Holy

Place in Gaza sparked global Royal Thai
10:05

10:07
of Defense have both denied firing the
10:10
10 projectiles that destroyed civilian
10:12
houses and properties at Emerald
10:14
Triangle, a city in Lao on Thursday.
10:17
Just as both government establishments
10:19
confirmed early in the morning on Sunday
10:21
that fighting continued through Saturday
10:23
night to Sunday morning night despite
10:26
President Donald Trump of the United
10:28
States US statement on Saturday that he
10:31
has spoken on phone with both the prime
10:33
minister of Cambodia and the acting
10:36
prime minister of Thailand asking the
10:38
two parties to agree on immediate
10:40
ceasefire and failure to do so.
10:42
According to Trump, US will not make any
10:45
business deal with both countries. In
10:48
his words, Trump said, "We happen to be
10:50
by coincidence currently dealing on
10:53
trade with both countries, but do not
10:55
want to make any deal with either
10:57
country if they are fighting and I have
11:00
told them so." The call with Thailand is
11:02
being made momentarily. The call with
11:04
Cambodia. Asia is apparently becoming a
11:07
continent of war as hope of achieving
11:09
peace in the continent appeared slim
11:11
since 2023 when fresh wars broke out in
11:14
the Middle East Asia after Hamas
11:16
attacked Israel forcing Israel to launch
11:19
a multiffront wars in Gaza, Lebanon,
11:22
Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as
11:24
Russia that has parts of its territory
11:26
in Asia had in 2022 launched a fullscale
11:30
war against its neighboring European
11:33
country Ukraine which the multiple wars
11:35
have led to millions of deaths with many
11:38
in the world expecting an end soon. But
11:40
while many in the world hoped for
11:42
permanent end to the deadly wars,
11:44
another fresh war broke out during the
11:46
week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia
11:49
between Cambodia and Thailand after
11:51
soldiers from Royal Thai Army of 14th
11:54
