00:00Queen Noamagbe Awuare II is the fourth wife of Benin Monarch, His Royal Majesty, Oba Awuare II and the Queen
00:07is also the biological sister of the Oba's fifth wife, Queen Isosa Awuare II, on Thursday early morning night.
00:15Queen Noamagbe apparently used a proxy TikTok account named Queen Awuare back up and accused the Benin Traditional Council, BTC
00:25of dishonest behavior, categorically stating, the BTC lied that Nigeria prominent social media streamer, Habib Hamzat Adelaja aka Pella was
00:35not authorized access into the palace of the Benin Monarch where she accidentally met Pella and gave him a motherly
00:42welcome as the Queen of the Oba.
00:44An action, the BTC has alleged she breached the palace protocol, hence, she risked being removed or sent packing from
00:51the palace, according to Queen Noamagbe in the apparent TikTok social media proxy account, Pella's visit to the palace is
00:59a mere cover-up, that a lot has been happening behind closed door.
01:02She supported her claim with a document that suggests the Benin Traditional Council was aware of Pella coming to the
01:09palace, and the document dated February 23, 2026 indicated that the BTC received and acknowledged the letter of Pella planned
01:17visit.
01:18But, if, if, if, if the BTC actually wrote back to Pella to notify him about the acceptance or rejection
01:24of his request was not stated, this, the President of Iguur Basami Movement World War
01:30Armed Forces of Nigeria, AFN has stated that its men resisted and pushed back a group of Islamic State of
01:37West Africa Province,
01:38ISWOP fighters at Malamfetori area in the Abadam local government area of Borno State early morning on Wednesday,
01:45after the ISWOP fighters launched a simultaneous five multiple and separate offensive attacks against the troops of the Joint Task
01:54Force,
01:54North East Operation Hadankai, this, the Nigeria Army supported its press release with a video of dead bodies of the
02:02suspected terrorists,
02:04some of whom, according to the military authority, were well-known ISWOP commanders who led other terrorists to carry out
02:10the attacks.
02:11Lt. Sani Uba, the media information officer, Joint Task Force, North East Operation Hadankai in a press release issued a
02:20few minutes ago,
02:21noted that Niger Republic Air Force supported in the killing of the terrorists and other defensive-offensive military actions
02:28that finally forced other surviving terrorists to withdraw and flee in disarray.
02:33Accordingly, the press release reads verbatim thus,
02:36Troops of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation Hadankai, OPHK, in the early hours of Wednesday
02:44successfully repelled a coordinated and simultaneous five-pronged terrorist attack on own positions at Malamfetori in Sector 3.
02:52The terrorists, who advanced in large numbers on foot and deployed armed drones in a desperate bid to breach the
02:59defences of the
03:00Nigeria military authority has placed the citizens and residents in the West Africa country on a high alert over increased
03:07security threats in the country,
03:09following apparent multiple suicide bombings on Monday in the northeastern state of Borno State,
03:14wherein, the Nigeria police force confirmed 23 people were killed and 108 other persons sustained injuries when bombs exploded
03:24almost at the same time at three different locations in Madaguri, the state capital,
03:29at locations which included the post office area, Monday market access and the entrance to the University of Madaguri Teaching
03:37Hospital,
03:38UMTH during the period of IFTA, breaking of fast, hours after the Borno State Command of the Nigeria police force
03:46had reported earlier on Monday that suspected Boko Haram,
03:49ISWAP terrorists made an attempt to infiltrate into the state capital with sporadic gunshots and explosions at Agilari Cross,
03:57Kofa area of outskirt of Madaguri Metropolitan Council, MMC,
04:02and Damboa Madaguri Road in Damboa local government area,
04:06and the latest activities and official reports indicated that the ISWAP and Boko Haram terrorists may have advanced
04:12and taken some positions closer to the state capital,
04:16this, the Nigeria police force said,
04:19the Borno State Joint Security Operatives has began aggressive patrols within the Madaguri Metropolitan Council
04:25and appealed to residents to alert the security agency for emergency
04:30there may be no doubt that Iran is apparently giving the United States,
04:34US a tougher time at the Strait of Hormuz,
04:37holding strong that none of its enemies and their allies will sail their ship through the Strait of Hormuz,
04:42an action that has since made the US President, Donald Trump to make contradictory statements
04:48after the US Army obviously failed in its intimidating military campaign and destruction of the Iran naval base,
04:56airport control tower, helicopter hangars, naval mine storage, missile bunkers and anti-aircraft and ballistic missiles defense system,
05:04with a threat to destroy the oil lifeline of Iran at the Karg island if Iran continued to block ship
05:10from sailing through the Strait of Hormuz,
05:13but yet, as at the time of filing in this report today, Iran remains deviant to US threat,
05:18with close watches saying,
05:20Iran may not fight a traditional normal naval war with the US Marines who are currently on a high-speed
05:26traveling from their base in Japan to the Strait of Hormuz,
05:30of which, over 2,500 of the US Marines and sailors have been redeployed and apparently drawn from the 31st
05:38Marine Expeditionary Unit,
05:40MEU, an elite rapid response force,
05:42and the Marines are traveling aboard an amphibious ready group, ARG led by the assault ship USS Tripoli, LHA-7,
05:51an assault ship that can function as a lightning carrier, carrying F-35B stealth fighters and MV-22 Osprey transport
05:59aircraft and the assault ship.
06:00There may be no doubt that the year 2026 may not be a year of good record for some men
06:05and women of the armed forces of Nigeria,
06:08AFN as multiple reports and official statements have confirmed that some numbers of Nigeria soldiers have been killed by Islamic
06:16State of West Africa province,
06:18ISWOP, since the beginning of this year,
06:20Thus, the multiple reports suggest,
06:23more than 180 Nigeria soldiers may have been killed in just 73 days into this new year 2026,
06:31which further indicated that an average of 2-3 soldiers are being killed daily in Nigeria by the ISWOP terrorists
06:38who appeared to have increased the daily offensive attacks on Nigeria soldiers since the US-Israel joint war against Iran
06:47began on February 28, 2026,
06:50although some close watchers accused the Nigeria military of always downplaying or reporting a very lower numbers of troops casualties,
06:58But, the Nigeria Minister of Defense, General Christopher Moussa stated and confirmed during the week after security chiefs held a
07:07meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tanubu at the presidential villa in Abuja
07:11that a lot of Nigeria soldiers has been lost.
07:15But he insisted that contrary to some reports by the media,
07:18the terrorists and bandits are taking more casualties,
07:21specifically stating,
07:22their commanders are being killed every day,
07:25we are sure of victory,
07:26and some reports also suggest that the ISWOP terrorists are in...
07:30Israeli Prime Minister,
07:32Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the state of Israel has a lot of organized plans of what yet to be
07:37done in Iran,
07:39specifically saying,
07:40regarding what we will do next in Iran,
07:42we have an organized plan with many surprises to destabilize the regime and enable change,
07:48we have many more targets,
07:50and I will not detail them here,
07:51Benjamin Netanyahu stated this on Saturday,
07:55a day before,
07:56Mojtabakumanei was officially and publicly announced as the Iran's new supreme leader in Tehran's Banak Square on Sunday,
08:04with residents in Middle East reporting with videos that Iran unleashed some numbers of massive waves of FATR-2 hypersonic
08:11glide missiles
08:12straight at Israel shortly after the announcement of the Iran's new supreme leader,
08:18Mojtabakumanei,
08:19many believed to be much more aggressive than his father,
08:22Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
08:24the announcement of the new supreme leader was made known after days,
08:28the US President,
08:29Donald Trump stated that the US will have a complete control of Iran and determine its leadership,
08:35which in one of the occasions,
08:37President Donald Trump stated verbatim that,
08:39well,
08:40most of the people we had in mind are dead,
08:43we had some in mind from that group that is dead,
08:46now we have another group,
08:48they may be dead also based on reports,
08:50this,
08:51the Israeli Prime Minister,
08:53Benjamin Netanyahu in a nationwide message to the people of Israel on Saturday as made available by the office,
09:00Foreign Minister of Iran,
09:02Abbas Arachi has said that Iranian soldiers are currently waiting for US ground troops to invade Iran,
09:08saying,
09:09the Iranians are prepared for any scenario,
09:12according to Arachi,
09:13Iran is confident that its soldiers can confront US ground troops and if the United States actually decided to begin
09:20ground troops invasion in Iran,
09:22it will be a disaster for the US because,
09:25we know we can handle them,
09:27adding,
09:27Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing war with the US and Israel politically and otherwise,
09:34and shortly after the Iran Foreign Minister made this known in an exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday,
09:41the US Secretary of War,
09:43Pete Hexas visited the US Central Command,
09:46CENTCOM headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa area of Florida apparently for a high-level briefing and next
09:53plan of action discussed with the CENTCOM commander,
09:56Admiral Brad Cooper,
09:58this,
09:58local media in Iran reported on Friday morning that the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,
10:06IRGC,
10:07Brigadier General Ali Muhammad Naimi says the Iranian armed forces are ready for a long war to punish the aggressor.
10:14The war which began last week Saturday,
10:17has led to the deaths of over 1,300 people in Iran,
10:2112 in Israel and 6 US soldiers.
10:24According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society on March 6,
10:282026,
10:29over
10:30United States President,
10:32Donald Trump in a nationwide broadcast issued a few hours ago over the joint Israel-US military actions in the
10:39sovereign nation of Iran,
10:41has said that many Iranian soldiers are willing to surrender in order to save their lives,
10:46but the offensive US-Israel military war or combat on Iran continued,
10:50saying the joint military operations codenamed Operation Epic Fury has destroyed hundreds of Iranian targets
10:58since the military action began on February 28,
11:022026,
11:03including the killing of the Iran's supreme leader,
11:06Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
11:08and the new joint war against Iran has resulted to the killing of more than 200 Iranian civilians and military
11:14personnel,
11:15with thousands of people injured,
11:17while over 12 persons have been killed so far in Israel with estimated 500 people sustaining injuries
11:24and the war has forced Iran to launch counter-attacks on US military bases in Bahrain,
11:31Kuwait,
11:31Qatar,
11:32and the United Arab Emirates,
11:34UAE.
11:35This,
11:36Iran Foreign Minister,
11:37Abis Arachi had said Iran will not surrender,
11:40stating that,
11:41despite the massive airstrikes on Tehran,
11:44Iran's military capability remains intact,
11:47adding,
11:47Iran was able to retaliate faster than it did in the 2025.
11:5212-day war,
11:53and that its
11:54mosaic defense
11:55doctrine makes it resilient to infrastructure damage,
11:59Arachi called the
12:00United States,
12:01US government under the leadership of President Donald Trump
12:05has ordered its citizens out of Lebanon
12:07with the non-emergency citizens specially warned to avoid traveling to southern Lebanon,
12:12although the US embassy in Beirut never mentioned Israel and Hezbollah possible new war in the Middle East as the
12:19reason for its action,
12:21but there are strong indications that the America government took the decision because of the possible military conflicts in the
12:27region,
12:28according to the US government,
12:30it do not want America's citizens to travel to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping,
12:37unexploded landmines,
12:39and the risk of armed conflict,
12:41stating that,
12:42some areas,
12:43especially near the borders,
12:45have increased risk,
12:46while information available on Monday indicated that Hezbollah is preparing to resume retaliatory strikes against Israel by rejecting US ceasefire
12:56deal as Israel,
12:57defense forces,
12:58IDF continued airstrikes on Beirut,
13:01this,
13:02a joint press statement signed and made available on Monday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of
13:08Saudi Arabia,
13:09the Foreign Ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
13:13the Federated Republic of Brazil,
13:15the French Republic,
13:16the Kingdom of Denmark,
13:17the Republic of Finland,
13:19the Republic of Iceland,
13:20the Republic of Indonesia,
13:22Ireland,
13:23the Arab Republic of Egypt,
13:25the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
13:27the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
13:29the Kingdom of Norway,
13:30Nigeria police force under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police,
13:35IGP Ka Yoday Ekbetokan has kept mum since a video went viral on social media platforms,
13:41wherein,
13:42allegation of bringing people illegally to settle inside forest in Edo State was made against the divisional police officer,
13:50the DPO who is currently serving at the divisional police headquarters at Uboha community in the Essen Southeast local government
13:58area in the state,
13:59a state that have witnessed rampant cases of kidnappings in recent time,
14:04especially since the beginning of this year,
14:06despite the fact that the Edo State Governor,
14:09Monday Okpabolo,
14:10has executed the destruction of numbers of houses or properties of apparent innocent landlords or people who may not have
14:17direct connection with the crime,
14:19it may be recalled that early 2025,
14:22the governor demolished a residential property on College Road simply because it was linked to a kidnapping gang operating in
14:29the Aduawa,
14:31Ayan,
14:31and Beninauchi Road bypass axis,
14:34even when the building belonged to a woman based in Italy,
14:37just that,
14:38her brother,
14:39Osamede Asimota,
14:40the alleged key leader of the gang,
14:43allegedly used it to coordinate abductions,
14:45this is just one of many properties demolished by the Edo State government over kidnapping in the state,
14:51yet,
14:52records of kidnappings in the state continued to grow higher,
14:56and recent police and military arrests indicated that Edo State is perhaps...
15:00Day after the Edo State Commissioner of Police,
15:03Monday,
15:04Agbonica personally led troops of joint security operatives at the dead of the night to launch offensive attacks against kidnappers
15:11in the forest,
15:12the commander,
15:13four brigade of the Nigerian army,
15:15Brigadier General Ahmet Balogun also personally led troops of joint security operatives to the kidnappers' hideouts
15:22and launched massive military clearance and offensive actions against kidnappers,
15:27both security operations led to the arrest of several suspected kidnappers allegedly caught in the act inside the bush,
15:34with the identities of the arrested suspects indicating that most of the kidnappers terrorizing Edo State are from the far
15:41northern part of Nigeria,
15:43an observation which appeared to have challenged the public policy statement made earlier in January 2026 by the Edo State
15:52governor,
15:53Monday Okkabolo who stated that many of those involved in the kidnapping surge in Edo State are indigenes of the
15:59area,
16:00saying,
16:01that may be the reason some kidnappers wears face masks,
16:04the governor made this statement as kidnapping in the state appeared to have become worse in 2026
16:09and very rampant in a manner that indicated that an average of one to two persons are being kidnapped in
16:16a day in Edo State
16:17as more than 60 persons became new victims of the increasing criminal activities in the state since the beginning of
16:242026,
16:26like,
16:26in January 2nd 2026,
16:29two brothers,
16:30in this write-up,
16:31a legal practitioner,
16:33Njoku Jude Njoku pinpoints some fundamentals in the judgment passed against Marzi Namdekanu,
16:39by Justice James Omotosho which convicted and sentenced the Biafra Republic agitation leader to life imprisonment,
16:46and in this press release the legal practitioner issued in late 2025 entitled,
16:52the 24th of November 2025,
16:55the day evidence ceased to matter in Nigerian courts,
16:58judicial silence,
17:00selective justice,
17:01and media complicity,
17:02described Justice Omotosho as unprofessional,
17:06stating that,
17:06the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered by Justice James K. Omotosho,
17:12is not merely that it reached a foreordained conclusion,
17:15but that it did so by deliberately suppressing evidence he already admitted on record in his own court,
17:21thereby converting adjudication into a procedural facade,
17:24this was not an error of law or an oversight of fact.
17:27It was a calculated refusal to engage with material evidence whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution's narrative,
17:36empasing that,
17:37this case is no longer about one man.
17:40It is about whether courts may openly disregard admitted evidence and still be treated as legitimate,
17:45and whether the media will continue to mask such conduct through silence,
17:50a judiciary that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased to function as a court of law,
17:56a media that refuses to question that silence has abdicated its public duty.
18:00of course as you are on level,
18:02bringing youth the news in a more digital way.
