00:00Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has declared the founder and publisher of Sahara
00:05Reporter's news media, Omiele Sawari wanted for organizing protest in Lagos State, which,
00:12the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mishu Jimosen Sawari has allegedly committed the
00:17offense of breach of public peace, and the police commissioner thereafter confirmed the arrest of
00:2213 persons he described as vagabonds and miscreants as group of people came out on Monday morning to
00:28protest against the demolition of their settlements after their houses at the Koka and Odulari areas
00:34of a Warren Shockey community in Kasofay local government area of Lagos State were brought down
00:40at midnight on Saturday, hours after the state government announced that it had compensated
00:46about 80 property owners on Friday, forcing some concerned citizens to condemn the government for
00:52displacing families without a clear plan for relocation and reintegration into the housing
00:57system. This, Omiele Sawari in an on-the-spot video statement made on Monday at the scene of
01:03the protest, said, he could not come down from the vehicle because he had a privileged information
01:09that there was plans to kill him if he comes out openly during the protest, according to Sawari,
01:15the action of the police explained why President Donald Trump of the United States, US is considering
01:21military action in Nigeria because the US president has seen weak leadership and leaders do not mean
01:27well for the people. According to the Lagos State Police Commissioner, I hereby as the Commissioner of
01:33Police, Lagos State Police Command, declare Sawari wanted. I declare him wanted for causing disturbance
01:40of public peace and an act to commit a felony by planning and putting all the plans in motion to block the
01:46third mainland bridge to cause hardship for Lagosians and other Nigerians, more especially visitors,
01:52who are transients through this end. We will not allow that. We are closing in on him. Anywhere he is,
02:00he should know that we are closing in on him. We learned that he was in a bus and being videoed.
02:06Why didn't he come down? He came down in Abuja. He should come down, wherever he is,
02:12he should report himself to the nearest police station. We are going to arrest him, investigate
02:18him and prosecute him. The Commissioner of Police said massive deployment of police personnel had
02:24been made, not just to the third mainland bridge but also to other parts of the state, where
02:29coordinated protests are likely to hold. The police boss stressed that, this location is vital to the
02:36city's economy and the well-being of commuters. We will not allow any action, peaceful or other
02:42wise, that seeks to block the bridge and disrupt livelihoods. Any attempt to obstruct the third
02:48mainland bridge is a direct threat to public safety and national infrastructure. Anyone attempting to
02:54disturb public peace will be arrested, investigated and prosecuted. Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria's
03:01economy, and we cannot afford chaos here. We have arrested 13 suspects, who are vagabonds and
03:08miscreants who wanted to cause mayhem in Lagos state. Sawari in a statement with a video attachment,
03:15said, I recorded this video at the scene of the attack on peaceful protesters by Nigeria police force
03:21in Lagos during today's Awaransaki anti-demolition protest, which they handled in the usual despicable
03:27and unconscionable manner. The Lagos police commissioner, Mishu Jimo, has reportedly declared me, wanted,
03:35for, disturbance of public peace, allegedly as a result of his office's inability to execute a,
03:42shoot on sight, order given by his illegal IGP, Ka-Yode Egbetokan in Awaransaki today.
03:49Despite my repeated attempts to contact Nigeria police force commissioner, Jimo, he has not taken my calls,
03:56nevertheless, I plan to meet with him. Soon to address his declaration. Revolution now.
04:03You should report at the IRS police station. I hear by the commissioner of police, Lagos state police command,
04:09declare Sorare wanted. I declare wanted for the act of cursing disturbance of public peace,
04:17and an act to permit serious alone, eh, by planning, and putting all the planning motions to overthrow traffic on the terminal landry,
04:29to cause hardship for Lagosia and other Nigerians, and commercially visitors who are transiting through this end.
04:36We will not allow this to happen. These are the equipment, and we ensure that, eh, we are closing in on him,
04:41anywhere he is, he should be aware that we are closing in on him.
04:44Mulan is doing video, and he couldn't calm down. Let him calm down.
04:48He came down in Abujaa. Why is he afraid to calm down in Lagos? He should calm down.
04:52He should calm down. Well, wherever he is, he should report in terms of the IRS police station.
04:56Because I'm going to arrest him, and investigate him, and prosecute him. Thank you.
05:00And we have made 13 arrests of this mistrust and hoodlum.
05:03Because there's no, any reason why this protest must take place.
05:08The people who are concerned, who are residents of Uru Moussoki, have been paid compensation by government,
05:14for those who deserve, eh, who are entitled, rather, to the compensation.
05:18And the people have remained in peace, and they've been giving the peace in the community.
05:22For it's coming to Lagos, to it's against crisis, to it's against violence, will not be tolerated.
05:27And I want all the government, eh, to think about their local businesses, without any fear or adventure.
05:32Let him come down, let him put his nerve on ground.
05:34He's driving in a vehicle, and he's making video, that police have covered everywhere, and he can't calm down.
05:40In the same way, police come everywhere, that he came down in Abujaa.
05:43Let him come down, let him calm down here, and you will see, eh, the, the wrath of the law, that will equally be enforced on.
05:50Coming from, eh, Uru Shukin, we're in the world today, and the police are already attacking.
05:57But by the time we got there, the police had, eh, attacked peaceful protesters, who, who, who, who, who, who demolished their houses in, uh, Urushuk area of Lagos.
06:10And, uh, I think they had intelligence that I was, I was approaching the police, as you see, capture, they were just tear gassing them.
06:16And they brought in more enforcement, all of them were carrying later weapons.
06:21This is what we're talking about, uh, about Nigeria at this time.
06:27The police that ought to be protecting the citizens of Nigeria are busy chasing after and attacking innocent civilians.
06:36People who they don't build houses for, people who they do nothing for, they're attacking them.
06:43And this is what you just, you just watched live on my, on my, on my timeline now.
06:49So, we couldn't enter the community, the whole place is barricaded, uh, these are so many demolitions that they've carried out, and, uh, they relate to homes of poor people.
07:01So, this is where the poor people have managed to run after the rich people dropped them away from Makoko and other places.
07:10We were told that, uh, the IGP, the legal IGP actually impaired in the police, uh, team to the people who could shoot and kill me if I showed up.
07:20But I still went there regardless.
07:22This is intelligence I had.
07:24Uh, so, right now we'll be monitoring events as they're happening, and, uh, uh, time-permitting we'll return back to that community.
07:33We must fight for these people and ensure that they get what is theirs back.
07:38We cannot leave this country in the hands of criminals to keep exploiting the poor.
07:43That is what got us into where we are today.
07:46That is what led to what America, uh, decided could be their intervention, because they've seen weak and terrible leadership in Nigeria.
07:55They know that these guys don't mean well for Nigerians.
07:59But that doesn't mean that America mean well for Nigerians.
08:01They're just taking advantage of the weakness in the leaders.
08:05Some of them have...
08:05Ogun State-born Princess, Ola Terira Majeko Dunmianiru, has reacted over the disaster.
08:16The description of Nigeria as a disgraced country, by President Donald Trump of the United States, U.S., saying,
08:23The greatest contribution the United States and its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible, and people-centered Nigerian leaders.
08:36Not the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, division and despair,
08:41Calling on the international community for the urgent need to uphold democracy and human dignity amid President Trump's plans to begin U.S. military actions in Nigeria to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
08:54While reacting to the recent remarks by President Donald Trump portraying Nigeria as a disgraced country,
09:02Princess Ola Terira acknowledged the deep governance challenges confronting Africa's most populous nation
09:08but emphasized that Nigeria's struggle is not one of Christian-targeted conflict, but one of governance, justice, and humanity itself.
09:16The greatest contribution the United States and its allies can make at this pivotal moment is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible, and people-centered Nigerian leaders,
09:29Not the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, division and despair.
09:35True partnership must empower integrity and merit, not those who have rigged themselves into power through corruption and coercion.
09:42Princess Ola Terira called for global collaboration to restore faith in governance and strengthen democratic institutions,
09:51noting that Nigeria's stability and progress are critical not only for its citizens but for Africa and the world at large.
09:58Only through principled engagement and unwavering support for democracy can Nigeria's citizens rebuild their nation in peace and dignity,
10:06free from the devastation of renewed conflict.
10:09I look forward to continued dialogue, progressive cooperation, and a shared vision for humanity, she concluded.
10:17We have reported that President Donald Trump of the United States of America has placed U.S. soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria.
10:26According to President Trump, the U.S. Department of War should prepare U.S. troops for possible military action in Nigeria
10:33if the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians.
10:38The U.S. troops may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns a-blazing,
10:43to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
10:48This, President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich Meridian Time
10:54after President Bola Ahmed Tanubou personally signed a statement rejecting Trump earlier claim on Friday
11:00that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria,
11:04although President Bola Ahmed Tanubou disagreed with Trump
11:08who had described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians,
11:15but, some Nigerians quickly took to the comments section of President Bola Ahmed Tanubou's post on X social media platform,
11:24and pasted a screenshot of a tweet published by President Bola Ahmed Tanubou on January 29, 2014,
11:32wherein, President Bola Ahmed Tanubou apparently had long accepted and agreed that the insecurity in Nigeria
11:39is possibly a religious war against Christians in the West Africa country, verbatim, in the tweet,
11:46Tanubou said,
11:47The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable,
11:51it calls to question the competence of Jonathan, then President of Nigeria, to protect Nigerians.
11:57This old statement by President Bola Ahmed Tanubou indicated that President Donald Trump of the United States of America
12:04may not be the first person to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian communities in the West Africa country.
12:21President Donald Trump of the United States of America has placed U.S. soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria.
12:28According to President Trump, the U.S. Department of War should prepare U.S. troops for possible military action in Nigeria
12:36if the Nigerian government continue to allow the killing of Christians.
12:41The U.S. troops may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns a-blazing,
12:47to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
12:51This, President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich Meridian Time
12:57after President Bola Ahmed Tanubou personally signed a statement rejecting Trump earlier claim on Friday
13:04that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria.
13:08Although President Bola Ahmed Tanubou disagreed with Trump
13:11who had described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians,
13:19but some Nigerians quickly took to the comments section of President Bola Ahmed Tanubou's post on X social media platform

14:00This old statement by President Bola Ahmed Tanubou indicated that President Donald Trump of the United States of America
14:07may not be the first person to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian communities
14:14in the West Africa country.
14:16President Trump in his latest policy statement via his Truth social media platform on Saturday evening,
14:23said and in quotes that,
14:24if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians,
14:28the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria,
14:32and may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns a-blazing,
14:37to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
14:42I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action.
14:48If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians.
14:56Warning! The Nigerian government better move fast.
14:59According to President Bola Ahmed Tanubou,
15:02Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty.
15:09Since 2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim leaders alike
15:16and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and regions.
15:22The characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality,
15:28nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government
15:33to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians.
15:37Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so.
15:44Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.
15:48Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.
15:53Our administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community
16:00to deepen understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.
16:05U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in a tweet on Friday had said that,
16:11the ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists and Fulani ethnic militias is both tragic and unacceptable.
16:20As President of the United States said, the United States stands ready, willing, and able to act.
16:28In a swift reaction, Nigeria presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga replied to the tweet and said that,
16:34Dear Secretary Rubio, there is no ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria.
16:41This is a gross exaggeration of the Nigerian situation.
16:45What we do have are sporadic attacks on some villages by bandits and terrorists and the attacks are religiously insensitive.
16:52Christians, Muslims, churches and mosques are attacked randomly.
16:56What our country requires from America is military support to fight these violent extremists in some states of our country,
17:04not designation as a nation of particular concern.
17:08Secretary Rubio, Muslim Lives Matter 2, President Donald Trump in a statement through his Truth social media platform on Friday,
17:16had said, Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria.
17:22Thousands of Christians are being killed.
17:24Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.
17:28I am hereby making Nigeria a country of particular concern, but that is the least of it.
17:34When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria,
17:393,100 versus 4,476 worldwide, something must be done.
17:46I am asking Congressman, Riley Moore, together with Chairman, Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee,
17:53to immediately look into this matter and report back to me.
17:57The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria and numerous other countries.
18:05We stand ready, willing, and able to save our great Christian population around the world.
