President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has
0:02
confirmed and announced the death of the
0:04
Nigeria immediate past president
0:06
Muhammadu Buuhari at a London hospital
0:08
at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday after years
0:12
of rumors and speculations by the
0:14
detained leader of the indigenous people
0:16
of Bafra IPOB Mazi Nami Kanu that the
0:20
person that ruled Nigeria for the last 8
0:22
years died few years after he took over
0:25
office on May 29th 2015.
0:28
The news of former president Buhari's
0:30
death came at a time the ex-president
0:32
was a major point of discussion during
0:34
the preceding week after the personal
0:36
media aid to the late president Garba
0:39
who confessed he lied to cover up the
0:41
health issues of the then president
0:43
Muhammadu Buuhari a confession the
0:46
indigenous people of Bafra described and
0:48
said that the garba she's confessional
0:50
statement about the use of the villat
0:53
invasion story to cover up former
0:55
president Muhammadu Buuhari's illness
0:58
vindicates its detained leader Nami Kanu
1:01
who had speculated years ago starting
1:03
from 2018 that the real Muhammadu
1:06
Buuhari died few years after assuming
1:09
office that the man that ruled Nigeria
1:11
for the last part of first tenure and
1:13
second tenure was Mr. Jubil al- Sudani
1:16
from Sudan. In a statement on Saturday
1:19
by the Bafra group's spokesperson, Emma
1:22
Powerful, IPOB said Kanu was the first
1:25
to expose Bhari's health condition and
1:27
was persecuted for it. The group
1:30
described Shahu's confession as a
1:32
delayed confession born out of guilt and
1:34
irrelevance. Where was this honesty when
1:36
the Nigerian people needed it? Where was
1:39
this truth when IPOB and our leader were
1:43
being vilified, jailed, and labeled
1:45
terrorists for speaking it? If this
1:48
level of deliberate misinformation had
1:50
happened in any sane society, those
1:52
responsible would be in jail for
1:54
subverting the constitution, undermining
1:57
national security, and deceiving the
1:59
electorate. But Nigeria rewards
2:01
mediocrity, protects liars, and punishes
2:05
truth tellers. The truth is like the
2:07
rising sun. It cannot be suppressed.
2:11
Today garba has confessed. Tomorrow
2:14
others will follow. As rock is a house
2:17
built on lies and the foundation is
2:19
shaking. The statement added. The former
2:22
president Muhammadu Buuhari had begged
2:24
for forgiveness if he had done anyone
2:26
wrong. In 2023, he said at a gathering
2:30
that whoever thought that there has been
2:32
some form of injustice on him, we are
2:34
all humans. There is no doubt I hurt
2:37
some people and I wish they would pardon
2:39
me and those who think that I have hurt
2:41
them, please pardon me. Late President
2:44
Muhammadu Buuhari stated this in May
2:46
2023 according to the video republished
2:50
on exocial media platform on Sunday by
2:53
one of his former media assistants
2:55
Bashier Armad. According to the press
2:58

3:00
Beao Onanuga, President Tonubu has
3:03
directed the vice president Chima to

3:08
president back home. The statement reads

According to the Bafra Defense Forces,

the said incident that occurred
4:34
yesterday at Echolubia is not in any way
4:37
connected to Bafra Defense Forces, BRF,

The weapon is believed to have been
5:06
abandoned by fleeing armed criminals
5:08
following a sustained pursuit by
5:10
security operatives. This development
5:13
follows a violent incident in which
5:15
asalants opened fire indiscriminately
5:17
under the Equuovia flyover and launched
5:19
an attack on the Oko Divisional Police

7:19
77th anniversary. an event known as Saba
7:22
Saba Day that commemorates July 7th,
7:25
1990 when Kenyans rose up to demand a
7:28
return to multi-party democracy after
7:31
years of autocratic rule by then
7:33
President Daniel Arapo. this. The united
7:37
opposition leaders called on all Kenya
7:39
citizens to declare President Williams
7:41
RO government as an illegitimate regime
7:44
that is an enemy of the people, hostile
7:46
to the people, killing the people by
7:48
thus boycotting all government functions
7:51
and activities and delegitimize the
7:53
government's businesses and actions,
7:55
insisting 2027 is too far for Kenyans to
7:59
wait before ending the presidency of R.
8:01
And in a swift reaction, President
8:03
William RTO on Wednesday visited
8:06
Dagareti northern side of Nairobi to
8:08
inspect the construction of 540 housing
8:12
units project at Kilamani police
8:14
station. And during the visit, the
8:16
president addressed the nation and
8:18
declared those are apparent protesters
8:20
who attacked fellow Kenyans, police
8:22
officers, security installations and
8:24
businesses as terrorists, stressing,
8:26
"Such acts are a declaration of war and
8:29
he will never allow retrogressive
8:31
elements who want to rise to power
8:33
through shortcut succeed."
8:35
Opposition leaders on Tuesday accused
8:37
the government of deploying unmarked
8:39
police vehicles to transport armed gangs
8:41
to perceived opposition strongholds
8:43
during the protests. They called for a
8:46
national boycott of all businesses
8:48
affiliated with President R's
8:50
administration, accusing his government
8:52
of deploying state sponsored violence
8:54
and extrajudicial killings on Kenyans.
8:57
This regime is hostile. It cannot be
9:00
reasoned with. It must be resisted. We
9:03
will not rest. We will not retreat. We
9:05
will not surrender. The opposition said
9:08
in a joint statement. Jeffrey Rigy
9:10
Gachagua, one of the opposition leaders
9:13
and former deputy president of Kenya
9:15
said on the 7th of July 2025, the 35th
9:19
anniversary of Saba Saba, Kenyans took
9:22
to the streets to protest. Unknown to
9:25
the peaceful protesters, the tired
9:27
regime of William Ruto had a
9:28
wellorganized state sponsored militia
9:31
working in cohort with the police to
9:33
maim, kill, destroy property and blame
9:36
it on the cuyu community. President R's
9:39
IC cases are still ongoing and were
9:42
paused after witnesses disappeared. It
9:45
is clear that history is repeating
9:46
itself. R is hellbent on finishing his
9:49
unfinished business with the Mount Kenya
9:52
region. To President R, I say this with
9:55
a lot of humility. Please stop being
9:57
angry. The people of Kenya are far more
10:00
angry than you are. If you truly want
10:02
this to end, then restore the dignity of
10:05
the pay slip. When the middle class can
10:08
breathe, they will create jobs for our
10:10
young people. Stop the abductions. Stop
10:13
the extrajudicial killings. And if you
10:16
want this to end, disband the killer
10:18
squad. According to the Kenya National
10:21
Human Rights Commission, KNHC, the
10:24
commission is still actively monitoring
10:26
and following up on all reports and
10:28
incidences related to the seven
