00:00Inspector General of Police, IGP Kar Yode Egbetokan for days now has refused to speak or deliberately kept mum after a well-known founder of a private organization, Harrison Guamnishu who have been assisting Nigeria security operatives with credible and reliable intelligence information that have led to the killing and arrest of several kidnappers in a video statement on Saturday revealed the complicit of the Nigeria police force in aiding and trying to cover up a
00:29reasonable suspect behind the kidnapping of a couple in the late days of November 2025 at Avili Community in the Etsuko West local government area of Edo State, and the reasonable suspect happened to be the younger brother of the man who was kidnapped alongside his wife, which, the kidnappers only set free the wife after a sting operational ransom money of 20 million nairas was given to the kidnappers with the reasonable suspect fully aware of all arrangements of the
00:59top secret security plans of Harrison Guamnishu but decided to make the sensitive security information public even when his elder brother is still held captive by the kidnappers. The reasonable suspect in a TikTok video live streaming, admitted that he was actually among the people arrested by soldiers over an issue, he, the reasonable suspect refused to state.
01:21The reasonable suspect among others were handed over to the Nigeria police force for the continuation of investigation and possible prosecution, but, according to Harrison Guamnishu, immediately police noticed he was able to recognize the reasonable suspect as a family member who was aware of his security plans and he was also the one that helped deliver the money to the kidnappers in the bush, an order within the police authority came.
01:47And the reasonable suspect was set free immediately while others arrested alongside the reasonable suspect were remanded to prison, that aside, Harrison Guamnishu in an exclusive interview with TVC television station made available to the public by the broadcast media on Sunday night, indicated that the Nigeria police force had all the opportunities and chances to rescue the remaining kidnapped victims, but, the police deliberately refused
02:15to go into the bush, with the police saying that the kind of intelligence information he had provided is an archaic style of intelligence gathering, this, according to Harrison Guamnishu, forced him to show the police video evidences of how his style of intelligence has aided successful offensive operation against kidnappers, but, all his explanations went on their ears.
02:38Even when for days, the tracking devices, the tracking devices he added to the special money he mixed with the original money given to the kidnappers as ransom was still showing the exact location of the kidnappers and other useful information that could have enabled the police mobilize and rescue the remaining kidnapped victims.
02:56According to the reasonable suspect, Harrison Guamnishu was actually contacted to help capture the kidnappers.
03:02This statement probably indicated that he ought not to be surprised that some original money was removed from the bag by Harrison Guamnishu except he can explain better how he expected Harrison Guamnishu to capture the kidnappers without acting intelligently.
03:17Harrison Guamnishu had said that the reasonable suspect came with the money with a lot of young people who were with him in the hotel.
03:24According to Harrison Guamnishu, he visited the hotel the reasonable suspect was, and observed the presence of a lot of young individuals before he asked him to bring the money to his hotel room.
03:36Adding that, after the reasonable suspect brought the money to his hotel room, he left, leaving him, Harrison Guamnishu and the brother of the woman who was kidnapped with her husband in the hotel room.
03:48Harrison Guamnishu, said the wife's brother who he said to be a medical doctor was inside the room while he was scattering the money and replacing some with the tracking devices.
03:59The reasonable suspect failed to state why he left Harrison Guamnishu inside the hotel room while he was working on the money.
04:07The reasonable suspect failed to state the issue he felt was more important than the life of his elder brother and his wife, that should make him leave Harrison Guamnishu and others alone in the hotel room.
04:19The reasonable suspect also admitted that the kidnappers never counted the money.
04:24That, immediately he opened the bag in the presence of the kidnappers, saw the way and manner the Naira notes were scattered, he concluded that Harrison Guamnishu had removed some money from the bag.
04:35Adding that, immediately he left the presence of the kidnappers, he started calling people to inform them that Harrison Guamnishu had removed some money.
04:44And when the divisional police officer, DPO asked Harrison Guamnishu if actually he removed some money from the bag, Harrison said yes, stating clearly that, that is how he does his work.
04:56The reasonable suspect never stated why such an information became an issue on social media even when his brother was and still with the kidnappers.
05:06The reasonable suspect said, the kidnappers are now demanding the exact 5.4 million Nairas balance of the 20 million Nairas and an additional 60 million Nairas ransom before they would release his elder brother.
05:18Harrison Guamnishu, while speaking on Saturday, said, the reasonable suspect was arrested alongside others with guns in Auchie by soldiers and they were subsequently handed over to the police area command in Auchie and the police command thereafter transferred the suspects to the state police command in Benin City, where, the reasonable suspect was set free without proper explanation from the police authority.
05:43Many who have spoken about the arrest of the reasonable suspect by the soldiers, indicated that the reasonable suspect and others arrested alongside him, were captured by the soldiers in a secret cult-related crime.
05:56And recent crackdowns in late 2025 and early 2026 in Edo State based on police reports have led to the arrest of over 112 suspects, many of whom confessed to being both kidnappers and secret cult members.
06:12If true, the reasonable suspect was arrested by soldiers in secret cult-related activities, on what ground was he granted bail or set free by the police?
06:21Who is the police authority that gave the order for the reasonable suspect to be set free even when the police authority knows that secret cult-related crime in the state is a capital offense that attracts more than 20 years jail term and life imprisonment?
06:37Information available to us indicated that the reasonable suspect may have run away from Nigeria and the current condition of things with the people still remaining with the kidnappers are yet to be ascertained.
06:48We had reported that Harrison Guamishu, the founder of a registered private organization assisting the Nigeria security operatives with credible and reliable intelligence information that have led to the killing and arrest of several kidnappers in the West Africa country, especially in the south-south geopolitical zone of Edo and Delta states, in a video statement issued via his verified social media account a few hours ago,
07:14has said that the family member and a brother of the kidnapped couple who worked with him and his team to deliver the prepared sting operational 20 million naira's ransom to the kidnappers has been arrested alongside his gang members with guns,
07:28but, according to Harrison Guamishu, immediately the Nigeria police force noticed that he could vividly recognize the suspect as a brother to the kidnapped couple.
07:37The Nigeria police force quickly released the suspect and charged other members of his gang arrested in Ouchi to court,
07:45even when the kidnapping involving the suspect's brother and wife is generating more reactions after the wife was set free by the kidnappers
07:52while the husband who is the suspect's brother is still held in captivity till date by the kidnappers
07:58since both were kidnapped in their home at Avili village in the Etsuko West local government area of Edo state in late days of November 2025.
08:08I said I went, I dropped the money from the bank, let's make I saturday tomorrow the money,

13:01two at that level pm we're still at the police station that they left
13:08so some of my friends are here they are aware of this issue this would be nice so what's the situation of
13:12your brother now in the bush bro the craziest thing is that this is where this is got involved
13:16and when the festival first i guess i guess this is where this is going to pass up to the court
13:22later they first start to the colors as they start to the court because i was arrested something has
13:26happened i was arrested i would like yeah so my i called black nobody because they make the course
13:32and my brother hello and the wife and then my brother wife they're in charge of the course
13:36and even when they go do meeting with rdc for a tasty id but as they say when they continue to
13:41the negotiate with the kidnappers because the kidnappers now called the seminary break 60 million
13:44era plus another 5.4 million now we know complete
13:505.4 million there will be their balance where this is very move for the fourth you need to
13:52have 20 million era you understand it could be 65 million 400 000 but later on the kidnappers
14:00caused him in every 50 million so since then those kidnappers know they negotiate so arisi and
14:06a lawyer now they want me will come on like all the videos here is a notif aris all the things that
14:10happened i'm misunderstanding they will go to the police station go to dpp and withdraw the case
14:14because the case is still there the case has not been dismissed i didn't see what just released
14:17conditionally so this was involved in this case the case has worsened more about to come to that
14:25exactly we saw that he went ahead to say that the man is still in a very critical condition and the
14:29family is not selling the man's property is that true i wouldn't know if the man is in the critical
14:40condition no i mean the property the selling of the man's property that the family reached out that
14:44they need to not sell the property that's true someone a friend reached out to them a friend of
14:50marriage out to them and said he can we sorry the woman the most the wife of the man reached out
14:57to a friend somebody who close who is close to me i said they could not pass we start they are the
15:03money for social social store and you people are sisters and the man was angry i said because the
15:09man already advised them before now at the police that he keeping everything itself is not um going to
15:17resolve this matter they had to take an office you guys can get this guy out because i did well i was
15:22in a station what what went to the bush was he showing us the exact location where the guy where
15:28these guys are but the police refused to act on it so okay the police didn't want to act on it but
15:32they knew where the location was they refused to yes what would be the reason for that i don't know the
15:39but the police was was just hammering on uh prosecuting me for you know for god knows i don't know i don't know
15:48even to now i'm here to understand why they were so but i believe because of my years of advocacy
15:53on holy brutality and destruction maybe that's that's the reason why all right so the man reached out
15:58to them and i said the woman reached out to them the woman reached out to the man and said that they
16:02wanted assistance the man said ah everything's name has been destroyed on social media and we only came to him
16:09okay fine how will you assist and the man told them fine this man's name has been destroyed
16:21you people have to after you have to go back to the media and tell them the role i played in this
16:27whole matter and the woman was recording every conversation she had she had with the man yes which
16:33they sent to vdm and vdm posted it so imagine the kidnappers yeah to that conversation to sort
16:41things what would happen but harrison i also know that a 20 million was involved in this whole thing
16:48you know where when did that 20 million actually go to yes yeah harrison can you hear me it went to the
16:56kidnap it went to the kidnappers did you give it to them directly did you give it to them directly
17:01no i don't break it i don't pay a lot to kidnappers the family waiting and give the money to the
17:08kidnapper the family met with the kidnappers yes the kidnappers they they is give and take
17:16they don't drop it somewhere and move no you bring the money and give them in their legs why they are
17:21there with you they will confirm the money and then you move they release the person and give to you but
17:28but on this one the money was not counted to know if it's below 20 million or above 20 million this is
17:35the point you know yeah
