anthony Arden aka Tony Kbaka one of the
0:03
most prominent youths leaders in Nigeria
0:05
believed to have thousands of youths
0:07
very loyal to him during the week came
0:10
out with a video press release to
0:12
confirm before the general public that
0:14
he was invited by the Economic and
0:16
Financial Crimes Commission EFCC over
0:19
petitions and allegations of Naira abuse
0:22
stating that he honored the invitation
0:24
because nobody is above the law but he
0:28
decided to issue the video press release
0:30
because of Albert Avesi a loyalist of
0:32
the immediate past Edo state governor
0:35
Godwin Obiski whom he accused of always
0:38
insulting him and trying to spoil his
0:40
name on social media thus he issued a
0:44
threat message to pluck off his teeth
0:45
and break his bones with his own bare
0:48
hands anytime Albert Abezy who is
0:50
currently living in London comes to
0:53
Nigeria adding that since his parents
0:56
cannot call him to order and if Albert
0:58
Abey ever insults him on social media
1:01
platforms again his parents' home will
1:03
be visited and the parents will start
1:05
feeling the heat although in less than
1:08
24 hours after issuing the statement
1:10
Tony Kbaka issued another video press
1:13
release at night apologizing to the
1:15
parents of Albert Avesy and withdrew his
1:18
apparent threat messages earlier issued
1:20
against them but hours after issuing the
1:23
apology message on Tuesday on Wednesday
1:26
Albert Avesy cried out on social media
1:29
raised an alarm that his own house
1:30
situated at a Magba area in Benin city
1:33
has been attacked and properties
1:35
destroyed by people he suspected to be
1:37
Tony Kabaka and his boys emphasizing
1:40
that nobody is above the law in the
1:42
first video he issued Tony Kbaka said he
1:45
went to EFCC officers invited and his
1:48
lawyer took him on bail saying he
1:51
wonders why Albert Abbees is going about
1:53
on social media platforms giving all
1:55
manners of narratives as if he has done
1:58
something wrong to honor EFCC invitation
2:01
tony Kabaka also accused Albert Azy of
2:04
being the alleged instigator that went
2:06
about and started reposting the videos
2:08
of him spraying money at three different
2:10
ceremonies which he said made EFCC to
2:13
invite him according to Tony Kabaka the
2:16
videos of the alleged abuse of Naira
2:19
notes were events that were held long
2:20
ago a period he said he never knew the
2:23
government was really serious about the
2:25
CBN act of Naira abuse stressing that
2:29
the videos and the events were recorded
2:31
and held long ago before his close
2:33
associate and co-official colleague in
2:37
government aka Ebo Stone allegedly
2:40
violated the Naira abuse laws which he
2:43
was also invited by the
2:45
EFCC while apologizing to Albert Aesy
2:48
parents over his comments and apparent
2:50
threat tony Kabaka listed many wrongs
2:53
the London-based Albert Abezy has
2:55
allegedly committed against him which
2:57
include allegedly instigating the then
3:00
governor Godwin Obiski to demolish his
3:02
hotel the Tatifa Hotel and Suites that
3:05
was demolished in 2020 by the former
3:07
governor on the ground that the hotel
3:09
was built on government primary school
3:11
land even when and high court had issued
3:13
a restraining order in 2019 ordering the
3:16
then governor of aki to stop the
3:18
demolition plan the high court later
3:21
ruled against the Edeto state government
3:23
and ordered the government to rebuild
3:25
the hotel and hands it over to the owner
3:27
Tony Kabaka although the Edeto state
3:30
police commissioner Monday Abonika says
3:33
he has arrested policemen seen venting
3:35
their anger and destroying vehicles in
3:37
Benin City after they were sent as a
3:40
backup team to rescue their colleagues
3:42
some men of the inspector general of
3:44
police intelligence response team IRT
3:47
who apparently were overpowered by a
3:49
group of youths who protested demanded
3:51
and ensured the IRT officers released
3:54
the suspects the special police officers
3:56
had arrested on ground of alleged

youths to vandalize the police vehicle
4:05

state last week and in addition to this
4:14
the Inspector General of Police has also
4:16
subjected six officers including their
4:19
supervisor to a disciplinary action
4:21
after a viral video that was circulated
4:23
on Tik Tok and other social media
4:26
platforms saw one of the offices of the
4:28
Nigerian Police Force extorting money
4:30
from travelers along the Benin bypass in

4:43
suspended the enforcement since July
4:46

involved in the attack however some
5:20
officers were captured in a video
5:22
conducting themselves in an
5:23
unprofessional manner smashing a vehicle
5:25
parked in the location in as much as the
5:28
command condemns the act of attacking
5:30
the personnel it views the police
5:33
conduct during the rescue as highly
5:36
therefore these personnel who have been
5:39

and are currently undergoing
5:44
disciplinary procedures as stipulated in

network this IPOB in a rebuttal issued
7:42
by its spokesperson Emma powerful on
7:44
Monday accused the Nigeria National
7:47
Security Adviser Nuru Rabadu of
7:50
allegedly plotting with the SBM and
7:52
Reuters to give the Bafra group a bad
7:54
name ipob in a statement titled SBM
7:58
intelligence Reuters and Nuru Robardu's
8:01
hatchet job against IPOB a failed
8:04
propaganda war said the killing of
8:07
776 persons as alleged by the SBM was
8:11
committed by kidnappers and other
8:12
violent criminals allegedly sponsored by
8:15
the government to carry out numerous
8:17
atrocities in the southeast geopolitical
8:19
of the country with a view to discredit
8:21
and cause public disaection against IPOB
8:24
b according to the statement the
8:26
indigenous people of Bafra IPOB under
8:30
the supreme leadership of Mazi Nami Kanu
8:33
categorically and unequivocally condemns
8:35
in the strongest terms possible the
8:37
latest hatchet job disguised as a report
8:41
released by a faceless compromised and
8:44
government sponsored propaganda arm
8:46
called SBM intelligence and amplified by
8:48
the neoc colonial media outfit Reuters
8:52
all under the shameful direction of
8:54
Nigeria's national security adviser Nuhu
8:57
Rabadu this laughable fabrication
9:00
alleges that IPOB's sit- actions
9:04
776 deaths and trillions in economic
9:07
losses this is not just a lie it is a
9:10
desperate concoction by a drowning
9:12
regime grasping at straws sbm
9:15
intelligence is neither credible nor
9:17
neutral it is a mercenary outfit created
9:20
to launder the image of failed regimes
9:22
and discredit voices demanding justice
9:25
self-determination their so-called
9:27
reports are fit only for the trash can
9:29
of history not the pages of reputable
9:32
journalism we challenge SBM intelligence
9:35
Reuters and Nuru Rabadu if you possess
9:38
an ounce of evidence linking IPOB to
9:41
these baseless allegations take it to
9:43
court marzi Nami Kanu is in detention
9:47
and ready to confront these lies with
9:49
unassailable truth instead of sponsoring
9:52
international smear campaigns why not
9:54
test your fantasy before a judge let it
9:57
be known and recorded that IPOB
10:00
officially cancelled Monday sit at home
10:02
in 2021 and our leader publicly disowned
10:05
any individual or group enforcing such
10:07
orders therefore any attack attributed
10:11
to a sit at home cannot be logically or
10:15
IPOB this makes the SBM Reuters report
10:19
not only false but criminally deceptive
10:22
the timing of this publication is no
10:24
