NewsTranscript
00:00Justice Mohammed Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Ka Yode Egbetokan to stop the upcoming Monday, October 20 planned mass protests by Nigerians to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic agitation leader, Mazin Amdekanu, but, according to the organiser of the protest, Omiele Sawari,
00:26after the judge initially declined to grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex-party motion to stop the planned protest in the open court, the Federal High Court Judge, Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion in chambers, imposing a ban on protests at Aso Rock Villa, National Assembly, or Unity Fountain in Abuja, we await a certified true copy of the order, which our lawyers will review, the protest remains unstoppable, while this is ongoing,
00:54The United States, U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to be far from the protest areas and limit their movements in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying,
01:07The planned protest may lead to disruptions and violence. Detailed of the court action as captured by Punch newspaper, the Federal High Court in Abuja has refused the Nigeria Police Force's bid to stop the Free Namdi Kanono protest, allowing it to proceed as scheduled on Monday, October 20, 2025.
01:27Whenever controversies surround Rufayasani, the outspoken and fearless broadcaster on Arise television, one recurring argument often resurfaces in public discourse, the claim that, Rufayasani is not a journalist, critics are quick to emphasise that he lacks a formal academic background in journalism, having originally trained in animal anatomy, but beyond the semantics of qualification, a deeper question emerges.
01:55What truly defines a journalist, what truly defines a journalist, and what are the core functions of journalism in society?
02:02As mass communication teacher, we teach students from the very first class that the media exists to inform, educate, entertain, and preserve cultural heritage.
02:13Journalists also play the crucial roles of agenda setting and acting as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable and amplifying the voices of the governed.
02:22The media's capacity to shape national conversations is immense.
02:26By highlighting specific issues and giving them prominence, journalists help raise awareness and influence public perception.
02:34It is through such agenda setting functions that societies engage in dialogue, debate, and reform, thereby playing participatory role in the process of governance.
02:44When examined through this functional lens, it becomes clear that Rufayasani has consistently fulfilled these journalistic responsibilities over the years.
02:55His incisive questioning, fearless commentary, and commitment to public accountability,
03:00Nigerian army authority has issued a statement denying threat messages issued against members of the public ahead of the plan.
03:08Mass protests slated for October 20, 2025 to demand for the release and freedom of the detained Biafra Republic agitation leader,
03:16Mazi Namdi Kanu, just as the organizer and chief campaigner, Omiyele Saware, the publisher of Sahara Reporter's news media met to seek understanding with the former president of Nigeria,
03:28Goodlaka Bele Jonathan, who, according to Saware, promised to visit President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to discuss the issue with him.
03:37Nigerian army in a statement on Friday, said,
03:40The attention of the Nigerian army, N.A., has been drawn to a misleading publication by Sahara reporters alleging that a Facebook page purportedly operated by military personnel issued veiled threats against certain individuals ahead of a planned October 20 protest.
03:57The report is not only false but a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and discredit the noble institution of the Nigerian army.
04:04For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian army has only two official social media handles,
04:11namely at HQNigerianArmy and at NigerianArmyInfo, which are duly verified on Facebook, X, formerly Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
04:21Any other page or account outside these verified handles does not belong to the Nigerian army and should be disregarded in its entirety.
04:28It is President Bola Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology,
04:38Jeffrey Uche Naji who had been accused of forging the degree certificate of the University of Nigeria,
04:44in Sukha and the Certificate of Completion of Service for the One-Year Mandatory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC,
04:52after he allegedly failed an exit course, virology, repeatedly at the university.
04:57Nigeria presidency in a statement made available a few minutes ago by the presidential spokesperson,
05:04Bayo Onanuga, stated that,
05:07President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has accepted the resignation of Jeffrey Uche Naji,
05:12the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, following some allegations against him.
05:18President Tanubu appointed Naji in August 2023.
05:22He resigned today in a letter thanking the president for allowing him to serve Nigeria.
05:28Naji said he has been a target of blackmail by political opponents.
05:32President Tanubu thanked him for his service and wished him well in future endeavors.
05:37Earlier, Nigeria State-controlled media, NTA had reported that the
05:43Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Jeffrey Naji,
05:48has dismissed reports questioning his academic qualifications,
05:51describing him as politically motivated attempts to tarnish his image.
05:56The minister has firmly defended the authenticity of his universe.
06:00Princess Ola Torera Maje Kadunmi Aniru from Ogun State and a Commonwealth Award winner who is currently
06:06pursuing a master degree in law has called on the federal government of Nigeria under the leadership
06:11of President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to immediately release the detained Biafra Republic agitation leader,
06:18Marzi Namdi Kanu, stating in a statement personally signed and made available to Media Newsroom on Monday,
06:25that, 10 years of detention without conviction is a grave violation of the fundamental human rights of Marzi Namdi Kanu,
06:33specifically stated verbatim that, the continued detention of Mr. Kanu without conviction is not merely a legal anomaly.
06:41It is a profound failure of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental human rights.
06:47His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria's constitutional expectations and the daily realities of citizens.
06:55We must have a justice system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength,
06:59not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust.
07:05According to the princess, across the span of a decade,
07:08Marzi Namdi Kanu has endured one of the longest and most troubling pre-trial detentions in Nigeria's history.
07:16Arrested in 2015, accused, pleading not guilty, and never convicted,
07:21he remains confined in a blatant defiance of the most fundamental human rights principles.
07:26Where is justice when a man stands unconvicted?
07:30Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine may have given a clearer picture on how some companies
07:36are apparently aiding and making more money from the ongoing war in his country Ukraine,
07:41saying, since the start of the war four years ago,
07:44some unnamed companies in the United States, U.S., United Kingdom, U.K., China, Germany, Taiwan,
07:53Switzerland, Japan, Korea Republic, Netherlands are producing components.
07:58Russia under President Vladimir Putin is using to produce weapons of mass destruction,
08:04to kill his people, this, Zelensky in his own words said on Monday that,
08:09In the fourth year of the full-scale war, Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons.
08:15During the massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night of October 5,
08:20Russia used 549 weapon systems containing 102,785 foreign-made components,
08:29from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland,
08:36Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands, nearly 100,688 of foreign-made parts were in the
08:44launched attack drones, about 1,500 were in Ascanders, 192 in Kinzhal missiles, and 405 in Calibers.
08:55Zelensky stated this in a statement made available through his personal social media
09:00two separate courts in the Nigeria Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Tuesday fixed October 27 and
09:07November 20, 2025 for the commencement of the lawsuits brought before them by the founder and
09:13publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omiele Saware and the Department of State Service, DSS over issue of
09:20posts published on X and Facebook social media platforms that allegedly described President
09:25Bola Ahmed Tenubu as a criminal after the President allegedly said there is no more corruption in
09:31Nigeria while the President was speaking at an event in Brazil in the month of August, 2025.
09:38According to Omiele Saware's lawyer, Tote Temokan, today, at the Federal High Court in Abuja,
09:45Proceedings commenced in the historic cases filed by rights activist Omiele Saware challenging the
09:51clampdown on free speech and political expression by the Department of State Services, SSS, in
09:57collusion with global social media giants Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and X Corporation, Twitter.
10:05The suits are Omiele Saware vs. SSS and Meta, FHC, ABJ, CS, 1887-2025.
10:15Omiele Saware vs. SSS and X Corporation, FHC, ABJ, CS, 1888-2025.
10:25Saware was represented by a formidable team of lawyers, led by Tote Israel Prime Minister,
10:32Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday stated that many world leaders who do come out publicly to condemn
10:37the Israel war in Gaza, do privately thank Israel for staging the war against Hamas,
10:43and according to Benjamin Netanyahu, the world leaders, tell me how much they value Israel's
10:49superb intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist attacks in their capitals,
10:55time and again saving countless lives.
10:58General George Keegan, former head of U.S. Air Force Intelligence, once said, if the United
11:04States had to gather on its own the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would have to establish
11:09five CIs, five CIs, this past June, when Israel struck Iran's nuclear facilities, German Chancellor
11:17Mertz admitted the truth, this.
11:20Benjamin Netanyahu stated when the speech was being broadcast live via huge loudspeakers that
11:26were placed on the Gaza border while the Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking
11:32at the United Nations General Assembly, which, his appearance drew a mix of applause and protest,
11:38with some delegates walking out of the hall as he took the stage.
11:42You know deep down that Israel is fighting your fight.
11:45I want to tell you a secret, behind closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly condemn
11:51us, privately thank us, Benjamin Netanyahu stated in response.
11:55Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated and blamed the Israel war in Gaza on Iran, saying,
12:03Iran terror axis threatened the peace of the entire world.
12:07Some parts of the long speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General
12:12Assembly are presented verbatim below.
12:15Mr. President, the families of our dear hostages languishing in the dungeons of Gaza, ladies and
12:22gentlemen, last year, I stood at this podium, and I showed this map.
12:27It shows the curse of Iran's terror axis.
12:30This axis threatened the peace of the entire world.
12:33It threatened the stability of our region and the very existence of my country Israel.
12:39Iran was rapidly developing a massive nuclear weapons program and a massive ballistic missile
12:44program.
12:45These were meant not only to destroy Israel, they were meant also to threaten the United States
12:51and blackmail nations everywhere.
12:53From Gaza, Yehia Sinwar dispatched waves of Hamas terrorists.
12:57They stormed into Israel on October 7 and committed acts of unspeakable savagery.
13:03From Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah had launched thousands of missiles and rockets at our cities, terrorizing
13:10our citizens.
13:11In Syria, the murderous dictator Assad hosted Iran's forces, tightening a noose of death around
13:17our throats.
13:19In Yemen, the Justice James Omatosho of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday
13:24ruled that the detained Biafra agitation leader, Namdi Karno has case to answer, because the
13:31Nigeria government prosecution team have provided some evidence that requires explanations from
13:36the detained Biafra leader.
13:38This, the coordinating lawyer to Namdi Karno, Barrister Aloieji Makor said the judgment of
13:44the court does not mean Namdi Karno has been pronounced guilty, rather, the ruling indicated
13:50that he should give explanations to certain evidences the federal government of Nigeria
13:54brought before the court.
13:56It would be recalled that the ruling on the no-case submission filed by Namdi Karno that
14:01was earlier slated to be held on October 10, 2025, was abridged and rescheduled to Friday,
14:07the 26th of September, 2025.
14:11Justice James Omatosho also rejected request by Karno to be transferred from custody of the
14:16Department of State Services, DSS to the National Hospital Abuja for medical examination over
14:22alleged deteriorating health issues.
14:25The court subsequently ordered the president of Nigerian Medical Association, NMA to constitute
14:31an investigation committee to examine Karno's medical condition and submit a report to it
14:36in eight days following objection by DSS to his request to be transferred to National Hospital
14:42for second opinion on his health condition.
14:45We had earlier in the year reported that the case between the federal government of Nigeria
14:50and the president of France, Emmanuel Macron and its US counterpart, Donald Trump on Tuesday
14:56engaged in a tough talk over the recognition of Palestine state and the Israeli war in Gaza
15:02during the bilateral meeting both held on the sideline of the UN General Assembly in New
15:08York, where, the French president insisted that Israel has already achieved more by killing
15:14the top militia leaders of Hamas, saying, it doesn't work to dismantle the Hamas, this is not
15:19the right way to proceed, he said.
15:22While President Trump had reiterated and insisted that things will not work the way the French
15:27president had suggested, that, the October 7, 2023 hostages still in the custody of Hamas
15:34cannot be honored with such suggestions, the meeting was held when videos of the French
15:39president, Emmanuel Macron and Turkish president, Recep Erdogan went viral on the internet, where
15:45both presidents were stopped or blocked separately by New York police operatives as they tried to
15:51cross streets in the New York City over yet to be seen incoming motorcade of their counterpart
15:56president, Donald Trump. The French president, Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump on the phone after
16:03his journey to the French embassy was blocked by police officers preparing for the motorcade of the
16:08U.S. president but that of the Turkish president, Recep Erdogan, could be seen, quickly surrounded by his
16:15security team in a manner that makes the president looked apparently in shock the moment some group of
16:20There is no doubt that this week may be an interesting week in the international community as world
16:25leaders gather for the 2025 United Nations General Assembly meeting to discuss and take a stand over
16:31decades of conflicts between Israel and the people of Palestine especially some of them well known as
16:37Hamas fighters, over territorial integrity and sovereignty, most especially ever since the
16:43state of Palestine was officially declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization, PLO on the 15th of
16:50November 1988, claiming sovereignty over the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip,
16:57and as at the end of 1988, over 78 countries approved the declaration including Nigeria that recognized
17:05Palestinian state barely three days after the declaration on November 18, 1988, and the numbers have been
17:13increasing particularly since the beginning of 2024 like never before, as of September 21, 2025, over 151
17:23countries out of the 193 United Nations members have recognized the Palestinian state including
17:30United Kingdom, UK which its recognition appears to be more disturbing to the Israeli government,
17:36with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issuing what he described as a clear message to the
17:42world leaders recognizing Palestine as a country of its own that it's not going to happen.
17:47The United Kingdom, Australia, Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday stated that many world
17:55leaders who do come out publicly to condemn the Israel war in Gaza, do privately thank Israel for staging the
18:02war against Hamas, and according to Benjamin Netanyahu, the world leaders, tell me how much they value
18:08Israel's superb intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist attacks in their capitals, time and
18:16again saving countless lives. General George Keegan, former head of US Air Force intelligence, once said,
18:23if the United States had to gather on its own the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would have to
18:29establish five CIs, five CIs. This past June, when Israel struck Iran's nuclear facilities, German
18:37Chancellor Mertz admitted the truth. This, Benjamin Netanyahu stated when the speech was being broadcast live

19:04is fighting your fight. I want to tell you a secret. Behind closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly
19:11condemn us, privately thank us, Benjamin Netanyahu stated in response. Prime Minister
19:17Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated and blamed the Israeli forces who are unneeded, bringing you the news in a more digital way.
