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 fellow contestants in the last concluded
3:01
presidential election in Nigeria and an amber state. Former governor Peter Obi has said that the current president of
3:08
Nigeria Bullah Ahmed Tonubuled government lacks the passion to stop the unwarranted killing of people in manners
3:15
of criminal acts including terrorism. stressing that while the insecurity did
3:20
not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment,
3:27
prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC, APCled
3:33
government, leaders to effectively govern, galvanize and led Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and
3:40
killed. A nation where peace, truth, and justice reign. This, Peter Obi stated
3:46
via his social media accounts on Monday evening in response to the United States, US President Donald Trump
3:54
announced plans to launch US military action in Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing Christians in the West Africa
4:01
country. According to Peter Obi, the recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a country
4:08
of particular concern, CPC, and indicating possible military action
4:13
should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern. There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented
4:21
level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty
4:28
International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023.
4:34
And as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all
4:41
efforts must be made to bring it to a stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is
4:47
significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance. While the insecurity did not start with the
4:53
present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of
5:00
resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC, APCled government leaders
5:07
to effectively govern, galvanize and led Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly
5:12
oppressed and killed. A nation where peace, truth, and justice reign. As
5:17
democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That
5:25
relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible
5:31
engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must
5:39
work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. Peter Obi had earlier on October 28th, 2025 condemned
5:47
the Nigeria government over rising criminal acts in drug abuse related crimes, saying when criminals can now
5:54
use the country logistics companies to distribute narcotics across the Barrista Jefferson Muhayron, a human right lawyer
6:01
and a political activist has said nothing wrong if it takes the intervention of the United States US
6:08
President Donald Trump to end the raging fires of insecurity. institutional wickedness and terrorism
6:14
in Nigeria. The legal practitioner stated this in numbers of posts he published through his personal social
6:20
media platform since President Donald Trump announced US intention to launch
6:26
military action in Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing Christians in the
6:31
West Africa country saying if America's saber rattling military threat is the
6:36
dirty water needed to flush this country clean or quench the raging fires of institutional wickedness, insecurity and
6:44
terrorism. So be it. According to barrista Jefferson Muhayan, dirty water
6:50
day quench fire. Nobody, yes, nobody deserves to die in the hands of terrorists. If it takes Trump's
6:57
intervention to wake up disgraceful governments to act swiftly, vigorously, patriotically, and responsibly, so be
7:05
it. The primary business of government is the safety and protection of the lives and properties of citizens,
7:12
whether Christians or Muslims. If America's saber rattling is the dirty water needed to flush this country clean
7:19
or quench the raging fires of institutional wickedness, insecurity and terrorism, so be it. Now government way
7:27
serious citizens day loyal for a country of concern to disgraced country. How did
7:33
we get here? This is the lowest of lows in Nigeria America relations. A country
7:39
we ditched the UK for and adopted its system of government. practically everything. This is not really about
7:46
Trump. It's more about how we treat crime, punishment, and our bogus criminal justice system. The government
7:53
has surrounded itself with forning ninkmp and incompetent advisers who see
7:59
national security only through narrow tribal prisms and ritualism, adept at creating enemies for the government
8:05
instead of friends. No attempt at consiliative politics or national unity.
8:11
Almost 3 years. There are no ambassadors to major countries. Our foreign policy
8:16
chiefs are torn between transactional politics of financial safe heavens or alignment with non-aligned low energy
8:23
Caribbean countries. Our domestic policy leans more towards appeasement of fading
8:28
potentates rather than the enforcement of nation building rules. We can't continue this way. Either we sit down
8:35
and talk or others will do the talking to us. A collapsed or exploding Nigeria
8:41
is a threat to global peace and a humongous humanitarian disaster that must be avoided at all cost. We are
8:48
almost at the gate. Where's the break? We have reported that Ogan stateborn princess Olira Majo Dunanu has reacted
8:56
over Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has declared the founder and publisher of Sahare Reporters News
9:03
Media. Omi Saware wanted for organizing protest in Lagos State which the Lagos
9:10
State Commissioner of Police Mashu Jimo said Saware has allegedly committed the offense of breach of public peace and
9:16
the police commissioner thereafter confirmed the arrest of 13 persons he described as vagabonds and miscreants as
9:23
group of people came out on Monday morning to protest against the demolition of their settlements after
9:28
their houses at the Koker and Oilulari areas of a Warren Shocki community in Kas. Soph local government area of Lagos
9:36
State were brought down at midnight on Saturday, hours after the state government announced that it had
9:42
compensated about 80 property owners on Friday, forcing some concerned citizens
9:47
to condemn the government for displacing families without a clear plan for relocation and reintegration into the
9:54
housing system. This Omi Saware in an on the spot video statement made on Monday
10:00
at the scene of the protest said he could not come down from the vehicle because he had a privileged information
10:06
that there was plans to kill him if he comes out openly during the protest. According to Saware, the action of the
10:13
police explained why President Donald Trump of the United States. US is considering military action in Nigeria
10:20
because the US president has seen weak leadership and leaders do not mean well for the people. According to the Lagos
10:27
State Police Commissioner, I hereby as the commissioner of police, Lagos State Police Command declare so wanted. I
10:35
declare him wanted for causing disturbance of public peace and an act to commit a felony by planning and
10:41
putting all the plans in motion to block the third mainland bridge to cause hardship for Largoians and other
10:47
Nigerians, more especially visitors who are transients through this end. We will
10:53
not allow that. We are closing in on him. Anywhere he is, he should know that
10:58
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
11:06
Abuja. He should come down wherever he is. He should report himself to the
11:11
nearest police station. We are going to arrest him, investigate him and prosecute him. The commissioner of
11:18
police said massive deployment of police personnel had been made, not just to the third mainland bridge, but also to other
11:25
parts of the state where coordinated protests are likely to hold. The police
11:30
boss stressed that this location is vital to the city's economy and the well-being of commuters. We will not
11:37
allow any action, peaceful or otherwise, that seeks to block the bridge and disrupt livelihoods. Any attempt to
11:44
obstruct the third mainland bridge is a direct threat to public safety and national infrastructure.
11:50
Anyone attempting to disturb public peace will be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted. Ogan stateborn princess
11:58
Olira Majo Dunanu has reacted over the description of Nigeria as a disgraced
12:04
country by President Donald Trump of the United States US saying the greatest
12:10
contribution the United States and its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic
12:16
emergence of visionary, credible and people centered Nigerian leaders, not
12:21
the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty. division and despair. Calling on the
12:28
international community for the urgent need to uphold democracy and human dignity amid President Trump's plans to
12:34
begin US military actions in Nigeria to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria. While reacting to the recent
12:42
remarks by President Donald Trump portraying Nigeria as a disgraced country, Princess Olira acknowledged the
12:49
deep governance challenges confronting Africa's most populous nation, but emphasized that Nigeria's struggle is
12:56
not one of Christian targeted conflict, but one of governance, justice, and humanity itself. The greatest
13:03
contribution the United States and its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic
13:09
emergence of visionary, credible and people centered Nigerian leaders, not
13:14
the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, division and despair. True partnership
13:21
must empower integrity and merit, not those who have rigged themselves into power through corruption and coercion.
13:28
Princess Ola Terra called for global collaboration to restore faith in governance and strengthen democratic
13:35
institutions, noting that Nigeria's stability and progress are critical not only for its citizens, but for Africa
13:41
and the world at large. Only through principled engagement and unwavering support for democracy can Nigeria's
13:48
citizens rebuild their nation in peace and dignity, free from the devastation of renewed conflict. I look forward to
13:56
continued dialogue, progressive cooperation and a shared vision for humanity, she concluded. We have
14:03
reported that President Donald Trump of the United States of America has placed US soldiers on red alert for possible
14:10
war in Nigeria. According to President Trump, the US Department of War should
14:15
prepare US troops for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government continued to allow the
14:22
killing of Christians. The US troops may very well go into that now disgraced
14:27
country guns ablazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
14:34
This President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich Meridian
14:39
time after President Bola Ahmed Tonubu personally signed a statement rejecting
14:44
Trump earlier claim on Friday that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria. Although President Bola
14:51
Ahmed Tanubu disagreed with Trump who had described the high President Donald Trump of the United States of America
14:58
has placed US soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria. According to
15:03
President Trump, the US Department of War should prepare US troops for possible military action in Nigeria. If

the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians, the US troops may very well go into that now

horrible atrocities. This President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line
15:28
with Greenwich Meridian Time after President Bola Ahmed Tonubu personally signed a statement rejecting Trump
15:35
earlier claim on Friday that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria. Although President Bola Ahmed
15:43
Tonubu disagreed with Trump who had described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic
15:50
terrorists against Christians. But some Nigerians quickly took to the comment section of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
15:58
post on ex social media platform and pasted a screenshot of a tweet published by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu on
16:06
January 29th, 2014 wherein President Bola Ahmed Tonubu apparently had long
16:13
accepted and agreed that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly a religious war
16:18
against Christians in the West Africa country. verbatim. In the tweet, Tonubu
16:23
said, "The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of
16:29
Jonathan, then president of Nigeria to protect Nigerians." This old statement
16:34
by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu indicated that President Donald Trump of the United States of America may not be the
16:41
first person to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian communities in the West Africa
16:48
country. President Trump in his latest policy statement via his truth social media platform on Saturday evening said
16:56
and in quotes that if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will
17:03
immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now disgraced country guns a
17:10
blazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby
17:16
instructing our department of war to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and
17:24
sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians. Warning, the Nigerian government better
17:31
move fast. According to President Bola Ahmed Tonubu, Nigeria stands firmly as a
17:37
democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty. Since
17:42
2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with
17:48
Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across reports on

18:01
continued mass protest in the Tanzania capital city of Dodma also simultaneously in the country former
18:08
capital city of Dar Salam which remains the country's largest city and its main
18:13
economic hub. While streets in Wanza, Embeaya and Arouchia have remained occupied by the agrieved youths who the
18:20
major opposition political party chamber claimed have been shot at and over 700
18:26
of them have been killed by security operatives since the violent protest erupted in the country on Wednesday over
18:33
the 2025 presidential election allegedly marred by corrupt practices. But the
18:39
Tanzania Foreign Ministry dismissed the claim, saying, "The Tanzania government is not aware of any death recorded or
18:46
any of the protesters killed, adding the government has not used excessive force on the protesters. This the United
18:54
Nations UN Human Rights Office stated on Friday that it has a credible report of
19:00
at least 10 deaths recorded as a result of killing of protesters by the Tanzania

19:24
gas canisters leading to a casualty of two people shot dead by police and two
19:29
others including a Kenyan police officer was seriously injured while violent protest continued across major cities in
19:37

Electoral Body subsequently banned the Chamber Political Party party from participating in the general election
20:24
and all bi-elections till 2030. And this is in addition to the disqualifications
20:30
of challenges like Tundu Lishu of Chadma political party. The main opposition leader who remains detained since April
20:37

21:05
Nami Kanu has given reasons why his elder brother had continued to defend himself on the ground of no case
21:12
submission saying the federal government of Nigeria who made the accusations and
21:17
filed the terrorism charges against the Bafra leader has not been able to pinpoint any aspect of the Nigeria laws
21:25
that should warrant his brother Mazi Namandi Kanu to enter defense citing several court rulings that invalidated
21:32
the federal government accusations against the detained Bafra leader this Kingsley Kantacanu stated in reaction to
21:39
the commentary of Dr. Samadi published on this day newspaper after the detained
21:45
leader of the indigenous people of Bafra Nambi Kanu on Monday abandoned his
21:50
earlier plan to call witnesses in his ongoing trial before the federal high court in Abuja. Nandi Kanu who is being
21:58
prosecuted on seven counts of terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government last two Friday had
22:05
prayed the court for an adjournment after informing the trial judge justice James Amatosho that his former legal
22:12
team led by a former attorney general of the federation and minister of justice chief Kanu Agabi San had yet to release
22:20
his case file to him though Nandi Kanu had earlier expressed his readiness to
22:25
open his defense in a written application to the court in which he indicated his intention to call
22:31
witnesses and requested the issuance of witness summons. But at the resumed hearing on Monday, Kanu told the court
22:38
that upon reviewing the case file, he had concluded that there was no valid charge against him. Nandi Kanu argued
22:45
that since he believed the charges were unlawful and that the prosecution had failed to establish any case, there was
22:51
no need for him to proceed with his defense. According to Punch newspaper, the trial judge, Justice James Omatosho,
23:00
directed Kanu to file a written address formally stating his position and to serve the prosecution accordingly.
23:06
Justice further advised the IPOB leader to consult experts in criminal law to
23:12
understand the possible legal implications of his decision. The judge thereafter adjourned the case to
23:18
November 4th, 5, and six for the adoption of final written addresses based either on Kanu's position that no
23:25
case had been established against him or for him to proceed with his defense if he decides otherwise. Kingsley cann

the misleading commentary by Dr. Samadi published in this day of the 30th of October 2025 titled if I were Kanu I
23:49
would not refuse to write a defense. State President Bola Ahmed Tonubu of Nigeria has issued a revised policy
23:56
actions over the 2025 presidential pardons he had earlier granted to 175
24:03
persons some of whom were convicted murderers, deadly kidnappers which included Mariam Sander who had spent
24:10
barely 6 years and 8 months at the Seleger Medium Security Custodial Center after she was convicted and sentenced to
24:17
death by hanging over the killing of her husband Bily Nubello in Abuja who she
24:22
stabbed three times repeatedly. This President Bola Ahmed Tonubu in his
24:27
earlier presidential pardon granted to the 37 years old convicted and condemned
24:33
murderer Mariam Sander had asked her to go home free because of her children.

part following public outcry and condemnation in the revised version of the presidential pardon signed into law
24:45
on October 21st, 2025 and made available to the public by the presidency on
24:51
Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. President Tonubu commuted the death sentence to 12
24:57
years imprisonment. Although the presidency never mentioned the total numbers of people granted the
25:03
presidential pardons but the list of beneficiaries made available by the presidential spokesperson Beo Onuga
25:11
indicated that only 86 persons were granted the presidential pardons and Mariam Sander apparently spelled as
25:18
Mariam Sander was last on the list and the names of earlier beneficiaries like Kelvin Prosper Oniara were not seen in
25:25
the revised edition of the list. Maybe the names were omitted due to excessive public outcry that Prosper Kelvin Oniara
25:32
was a convicted notorious high-profile gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that were widely stated to be
25:39
responsible for the kidnapping and subsequent killing of a former Anamra state deputy governor Julian Wiki.

Kidnapping of a prominent legal practitioner Mike Zome on August 24th,

officers, including the divisional police officer BPO of Ahore Division who led the police team in an attempt to
26:04
rescue Mike Joseome. Outside that the 44 years old Oniara was also stated to be

Makor the lawyer to the detained Bafra republic agitation leader Mazi Nambi
27:10
Kanu after a lawyer Makor was seen joining the free Nambi Khan U protest in
27:15
Abuja on Monday, according to the human rights lawyer who have remarkable experience in fighting against police
27:22
extrajudicial killing. One notable exception is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly
27:29
about his or her own cases, but not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client. The conducts of
27:36
lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the presidency
27:42
yesterday against the lawyer of Mr. Nambdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at the scene
27:48
in Abuja where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr. Kanu. The statement from the presidency
27:55
and the police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the
28:01
tmerity to represent a person the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court of public
28:07
opinions. Ordinarily, a lawyer's bail application for alleged crime of illegal protest won't be refused. The refusal is
28:15
concerning and turning a simple matter into a political case of vendetta and persecution. Beo Onuga the special
28:22
adviser to the president on information and strategy had on Monday tweeted while the free Nambdanu protest was ongoing
28:30
that I spotted a lawyer Mccor one of Nandi Kanu's lawyers among the small
28:35
group of protesters mobilized in Abuja by Om saware I wonder what Mr. Edji
28:41
Mccor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest. As a lawyer, he should be aware of the
28:47
principle of subjudicy, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court. The prosecution has
28:54
concluded its case, and it is now incumbent upon Mr. Edi Mccor and the other lawyers to mount a strong defense
29:01
for Kanu. Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr. Aji Mccor
29:06
has resorted to extraleal tactics joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Meanwhile, few hours ago,
29:14
the organizer of the protest and the founder of Sahare reporters news media
29:20
saw stated via his social media accounts that we have been informed that plans
29:25
are allegedly in place at Kuj Prison to harm Nambdi Kanu's younger brother fine

The NPF in a statement issued and made availab by the force spokesperson Benjamin Hyundai indicated that the
31:01
Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and maintaining public peace
31:08
in accordance with constitutional provisions. This follows the subsisting order of the Federal High Court Abuja
31:15
division given on the 17th of October 2025 by honorable justice MG Yumar in
31:22
suit number FHC ABJ CS 225ths
31:30
Federal Republic of Nigeria versus Amy Saware and four others. The order
31:35
restrains the respondents and any other persons or groups acting under their instruction from staging protests within
31:41
and around Aso Rock Villa and its environs, the National Assembly Complex, Force Headquarters, the Court of Appeal,
31:49
Eagle Square and Shahu Shagari Way. In deference to the authority of the court and in line with the constitutional
31:56
mandate of the police to enforce law and order, the force hereby calls on all groups whether in support of or opposed
32:03
to the ongoing agitation for the release of Marzi Nami Kanu to adhere strictly to
32:08
the provisions of the court order. The directive remains binding and enforceable pending further judicial
32:14
proceedings. The Nigeria Police Force recognizes and respects the rights of citizens to peaceful assembly and
32:21
expression. However, such rights must be exercised responsibly and within the
32:26
limits of the law, particularly where public safety, national security, and the rights of other citizens are
32:33
concerned. The court's intervention is therefore a safeguard, not a suppression
32:38
of constitutional freedoms. Accordingly, all intending protesters and
32:43
counterprotest groups are strongly advised to avoid restricted areas and to refrain from any act. Founder of Sahare
32:50
reporters news media and the organizer of the free Nambdi Kanu protest Saware
32:56
has refuted and debunked the reports circulating in some sections of the media that the Federal High Court
33:02
sitting in Abuja has stopped the upcoming Monday October 20th mass protest organized to demand the release
33:08
of the detained Bafra Republic agitation leader Mazi Nambi Kanu saying the media
33:15
report is false and a calculated attempt to distract members of the public from coming out to join the protest. Adding
33:22
Nandi Kanu is so sick that the people must come out now to set him free. The sickness is alleged by Om Saware
33:29
apparently challenged the medical report issued by the Nigerian Medical Association NMA who had submitted its
33:36
panel report before the trial court on Thursday that Nambdi Kanu is fit to face
33:41
trial that the sickness is not life-threatening. But Punch newspaper
33:46
reporter at the court on Thursday reported that it was the Department of State Services DSS lawyer who happened
33:53
to be one of the parties in the dispute that presented the NMA Medical Report before the court. We are yet to
33:59
ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity, accuracy and transparency
34:05
of the Nigerian Medical Association NMA in conducting the medical examination.
34:11
In a statement on Saturday, Omi Saware said, "The Federal High Court in Abuja
34:16
has not stopped the proposed free Namikanuno protest slated for Monday, October 20th, 2025.
34:23
Contrary to the misleading claims being circulated by police lawyers and sections of the media, no order was
34:30
granted restraining citizens from exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly."
34:36
Justice Umar of the Federal High Court declined to issue any exarty order sought by the police to halt the
34:42
nationwide protest altogether. What exists is a purported court order
34:47
obtained in chambers by lawyers of the police which has not been served on anyone asking that protesters not
34:54
protest at Aso Rock Villa National Assembly, Eagle Square and a certain Shahu Shagari way. The latest false
35:01
claims designed to confuse the public and discourage participation. The protest date is sacros. The movement
35:08
is unstoppable. In another statement, Amy Saware said, "I was deeply involved
35:14
in the struggle for the validation of the June 12th election, and I remember vividly how the system operated back
35:20
then, how they weaponized the judiciary to buy time, to deceive the public, and to justify injustice." They kept saying
35:28
Aviola's case is in court, using that as a shield for tyranny until they eventually killed him a day before his
35:35
supposed release. It was a well orchestrated tragedy disguised as legal
35:41
processes. Today I see the same script being replayed with Mazi Nambi Kanu. The
35:47
same manipulation bringing you the news in a more digital
35:52
