authorities following a recent incident that led to the death of a palace chief late John Ekime the suspension of the
31:18
traditional ruler is indefinite said Fred Ichua in another press statement
31:24
issued on Tuesday Fred Ishua stated that in a daring move geared towards
31:29
addressing Nigeria Anti-Corruption Police the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC has declared eight
31:37
persons wanted in connection with the 1.3 trillion naira fraud committed by an
31:42
online cryptocurrency platform CryptoBridge Exchange CBEX allegedly an
31:48
unregistered financial trading company in Nigeria But according to EFCC a
31:54
registered company ST Technologies International Limited promoted or aided the suspected criminal trading platform
32:02
this occurred after the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission SEC in a statement on April 17th 2025 gave
32:10
public assurance to prosecute the promoters of the suspected fraudulent trading platform and the statement from
32:16
SEC indicated probably that there is porousness in the Nigeria intelligence system signaling that the Nigeria
32:23
intelligence assets like the media State Security Services SS Defense
32:29
Intelligence Agency DIA National Intelligence Agency NIA Nigeria
32:35
Financial Intelligency Unit NFIU of Central Bank of Nigeria CBN Force
32:41
Intelligence Department FID of the Nigeria Police Force NPF among others
32:46
are apparently too weak in protecting the West Africa sovereignty against financial invasion and terrorism despite
32:53
the huge billions of naira of taxpayers money spent yearly by the presidency through the office of the national
33:00
security adviser NSA and CBN on the aforementioned intelligence assets the
33:06
state assets failed to be alive their societal responsibilities and a criminal organization invaded the Nigeria media
33:13
space openly advertised its criminal activities for long and successfully stole evacuated and converted trillions
33:20
of Nigeria currency to foreign currency or currencies causing huge pressure and devaluation of the Naira and thus making
33:28
costs of living go higher with no Nigeria intelligence asset including the press being able to proactively track
33:34
and forestall the act of national terrorism committed against the Nigeria state among those declared wanted on
33:42
Friday by EFCC includes Adafura
33:47
Adafalawanola Emanuel Ako and Sha Yolied and others named by EFCC as alleged
33:53
foreign accompllices include Johnson Oiro Aiano Israel and Beluca Joseph Miro

35:22
intelligence suggesting that President Vladimir Putin may have launched the massive attacks on the Ukrainian capital

as a calculated distraction to President Vadimir Zalinski over his visit to South
35:34
Africa where Zalinski Ki had planned to meet with representatives of civil political and student communities from
35:40
different Africa countries a continent it appears Russia has built tighter relations within recent years in the
35:48
struggle for geopolitical supremacy against its rivals in the world powers like the US and France which Africa
35:55
countries like Sagal Chad Mali Bikina Faso Ivory Coast Niger had cut military
36:02
ties with France and expelled its troops and some of the Africa countries like Chad and Niger have also expelled US
36:10
troops and cut military ties with the White house and they all including South
36:15
Africa have moved closer to Russia but since June 2023 when South Africa
36:21
President Siril Ramaposa led an African leaders peace mission to Ukraine and Russia where they both met with Zalinski
36:28
and Putin after the failed peace initiative ukraine has stepped up its relations in the Africa continent by
36:35
sharing technological and military experience with African nations donating grains opening additional embassies in
36:42
the Africa continent with Ivory Coast and Democratic Republic of Congo drc
36:47
already established out of the 10 new embassies pledged in 2023 which
36:52
President Vadomir Zalinski said in December 2023 that one of Ukraine's foreign policy priorities for 2024 is
37:00
continuing to develop ties with African countries as Moscow seeks to expand its
37:05

38:28
those who have lost their Niger state governor Muhammad Omaru Bago has reversed self over arresting anyone with
38:35
dreadlocks a matching order he gave on Tuesday at stakeholders security meeting in the state to security operatives in
38:43
the state which is one of the states in Nigeria most troubled by bandits and terrorists clarifying that the arrest
38:50
order is only meant for a particular group of people suspected to be a member of a particular secret cult group that
38:56
carries dreadlocks as a symbol of identification this a well-known social
39:02
media influencer Martins's Vincent aka Vid Darkman had condemned the action of
39:07
the governor saying that if the governor considered dreadlocks as a sign of insecurity it therefore means the
39:14
governor should be the first to be arrested for carrying a monster beards vid Arman in a swift reaction to the
39:21
governor's order on Tuesday said most criminals like Boohh Haram terrorists
39:26
often dressed responsibly and they are hardly seen putting on dreadlocks hairstyles adding that the governor
39:32
should focus on providing jobs for the thousands of unemployed youths in the state which he said is the major cause
39:38
of insecurity hence urging the governor to avoid the misleading narratives of trying to tie insecurity to hairstyles
39:46
according to Varid Darkman the kind of misleading narratives and actions taken by the Niger state governor Muhammad
39:54
Omaruago may be the reason why the insecurity in Nigeria probably has
39:59
continued to be on the high side because the criminals do take advantage of the inability of the government to know the
40:05
true modus operandi and thus the governments always chased after irrelevant issues and meaningless issues
40:12
of concern while the terrorists and other criminals dressed behaved in a more responsible ways to continue to
40:18
terrorize the country governor Muhammad Omaru Bago had on Tuesday said from
40:23
today henceforth anybody you find with dreadlock in Niger state arrests him
40:29
barb his hair and fine him parents should warn their children from this moment it's 100% fire for fire demolish
40:37
houses hammering criminals also any house found hammering criminals should be demolished niger state is not for
40:45
useless people the governor had initially stated on Wednesday the governor in another meeting with federal
40:51
government officials in Niger state reversed himself and stated that yesterday we read a riot act on
40:58
hooliganism and people misconstrued our words for people who have dreadlocks we
41:03
don't have a problem with dreadlocks but we have a problem with the cult here with dreadlocks
41:09
so if you have dreadlocks and you have business please come to Niger state all
41:14
