Speaker 1

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will meet with him next week Friday in the U S state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of territories to the vetterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically saying we will get some back and we will get

some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to the vetterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who have issued series of video and written press releases since President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will not see any of its territory to Russia for the purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory

in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders without preventive punishment made him to start full scale war with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, cease fire,

end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zelenski, in a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to ensure

that the war ends. The President of the United States has the levers and the Determinationine has supported all of President Trump's proposals, starting back in February. Cease fire, all formats have been supported. What is needed now is not a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace, not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully

support it. There must be a just end to the war, and it is Russia that must end the war it started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of the need for a cease fire, for an end to the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten. His only card is the ability to kill, and he is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price. It is important that this does not

mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level, dignified results, results that will save lives that the world will value and for which it will be grateful to the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics. He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them. He wants to exchange a pause in the war in the killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.

He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time, Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to the occupation in Duniesk and Luhansk regions. He received no preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.

This led to the full Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter's publisher, Armiele Sir ware inside cell after the media personnel honored the invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation of characters, with the police stating in a press release signed and made available after the detained media publisher was released on Friday night that Sir Warey allegedly brought

bandages alongside other personal items when he came to the station to honour the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand he had claimed he suffered as a result

of the police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the time Saware was released on Friday night, bandages were still seen wrapped around one of his hands a scene in the video while he was coming out from the IGP Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja. As stated by Saware in the video. Shortly after his release from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team. On Friday, Saware posted on his social media handles and

said that freedom is never given. It is not a gift from the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and with collective will. Those who sit in power never give it up willingly. That's why we take it back, because freedom is ours and we will fight until it

is no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force, in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five, and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest and attention of mister on the Yale Saware, a figure known for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda

to malign state institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister sir Ware was arrested based on credible, corroborated allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and

other infractions. Currently under active investigation. The arrest was affected in full compliance with extant legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards, due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear, mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of the allegations against him and has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that mister Suware was tortured or subjected to any form of inhuman

or degrading treatment while in custody. The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero Top human rights activist and founder of Sahara Reporters News Network, Omila Saware has been reportedly man handled on Thursday early Warning inside police cell by offices from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated, but the media personnel working with Omila Saware, in a

statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal social media handles of Saware, said that the police presented two petitions against Sware over alleged forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Soware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he

was allegedly handled roughly via a team of armed policemen. This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to

settle personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon, apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiyele Saware by insisting and stating in the press statement that the recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit and not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of

allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force, while also calling on offices and men of the force to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that any police person as court lobbying to

get promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. According to the post published via Sware social media handles, the media team of the publisher said this morning at six a m. A police team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Sware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja,

claiming they were taking him to court. The team of nine offices, including eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sirwar roughly when he asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his arm in the process before taking him to

another police facility, the media team stated. In another post, the media said the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin fakaray Day presented two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp's office, one alleged forgery and the second written by Bukolayemis Kuttie, who was promoted to ACP because she's mistress,

alleges criminal defamation. So Morey had before honoring the police invitation on Wednesday, said in a number of posts previous day that the IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at eleven am, yet they have refused to provide a copy of the purported petition against me. It is now clear that their intention is to conceal the sinister plan of the illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness.

Despite this, Anambra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes

of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innichha, a wary federal road in an Ambra State, especially between Over community and d Sala town. As we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled out of

poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala or who road left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers, while in Ober, wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions are paid in silence to the kidnappers. According to members of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the Ober New Road and Old Road junctions, shortly

after he visited his building construction site. While we also learned that some people in the state to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with their friends or

co traders. It may interest you to know that the Nambra State Police Command recently arrested a twenty four year old male suspect Muanaie Victor for allegedly luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang Innuli Ihiala Local government area of the state, and they reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five point three million narras with his gang members, just as gunman in a not to long distance time abducted a lawyer and two other

persons in in polgu Aguata Local Government area of Anambra.

In addition to previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, chiefhebea worg by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the New ober Newi Road in Idomili South Local Government area of a Nambra State, with the number of those killed at the Porsha nightclub said to be seven, but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another had his foot cut off and made away with by the invading deadly kidnappers.

This occurred shortly after a well known native doctor or Wi chidos in nawangu Aka. Aqua Okako Timuraki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed in the vicinity of his hotel at Over community before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after ransom in millions were reportedly paid. That not all. On May twenty first, twenty twenty two, shortly after Professor Chikuma Saludo was sworn in as governor, Gunman abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata To constituency

in the State House of Assembly, oak Chikua Koye. A Koye also known as Oki Dieoke represented Soludo's state constituency Isoophia Akoye was killed and beheaded alongside his aid Cyril chi Eboka, six days after they were abducted along Aguila Zigbo Road, Anaroka local government area of the state, and their heads and bodies dumped along a roadside in the state.

And in December twenty twenty four, another lawmaker in the State House of Assembly was kid Ghana Minister of Defense Edward Omain Boehmer, alongside seven other top government officials and military personnel have been confirmed dead after Ganer armed Forces in a statement on Wednesday, had declared the Zen nine military helicopter missing, stating the helicopter, traveling from the nation capital in akrat Obuasi in a Shanti region, went off from radar at nine to twelve a m with three

crew members and five passengers on board. Others killed in the helicopter crash, as confirmed by the Office of the President of Ghana, include doctor al Haji Mattala Mohammad, MP for Tamali, Central Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Alhaji Munaru Mohammad, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Doctor Samuel Sarpan, Vice Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Aboagie, former parliamentary candidate, Squadron Leader Peter Buffemi, Anila Flying Officer to Amampadu and

Sergeant Ernest Adam. It was gathered that the military helicopter went down at a Dancy Acro firm in the Ashanti region on Wednesday for yet to be stated cause of the incident, as video footage showed the burnt beyond recognition bodies of those on board the aircraft. The aircraft was from Acra and heading for Abausi and is currently off the radar. All efforts of being made to establish contact the Ghaner Armed Forces had stated in a statement earlier

on Wednesday. The Government of Ghana has directed that all national flags be flown at half mast in honor of the late government top officials Edward Omein Boehmer, Minister for Defense and Ibrahem Mattalamahammad, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation,

among others, who died in the military helicopter crash. According to local media, the fatal incident occurred on Wednesday, August sixth in the a Dansi Acrofirm district of the Ashanti Region, while the two ministers, along with six others were en route to ob Ouasi for official duties. Announcing the directive, Chief of Staff Julius Debra expressed the government's deep sorrow regarding the loss of the two senior public officials and

others on board the helicopter. The President is emotionally down. The Vice President is leading a team to formally inform the families. Education Minister Peruna Idrasu told news reporters following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of top government officials, including the Defense and Environment ministers. While announcing the death of the all passengers and crew members on board.

The Ghaner Chief of Staff Julius Debra said on behalf of the President of the Republic, his Excellency John Drameny Mohamma, the Vice President, Professor nna Jana Poku Agumang, who is with us here and the Government of Ghana, I have the unpleasant duty sadly to announce a national tragedy involving the crash of a military helicopter this morning around the Adancy area in the Ashanti Region. Government regrets to announce the demise of the following persons in the tragic crash.

Doctor Edward Kofi omain Boehmer Minister for Defense, al Haji Doctor Ibrahim Mattala Mohammad, m P Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, al Haji Munaru Mohammad, Acting Deputy National Security co Ordinator and former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Doctor Samuel Sarpong, Vice Chairman of the National Democrat Nambra State Government under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukumasaludo, has said that the state is currently in search of justice over

the killing of a young and creative fish farmer, Martins of Fessinachi on Ye k C, well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence in zini

Fite Village, Okuno in Orca, the Enambra State capital. This doctor j George Mogalu, the Labor Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that an Amber state is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed, slorted for their families to bury in silence while the state Governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo, looks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mogalu said, I must speak frankly, an Amber is no longer safe,

not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies.

Where is our conscience? Mogalu stated, while the former lawyer to Namdi Carlu, the detained Biafra agitation leader, Barrister afany G four, said the people of the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening part the reckless energy

our own people expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you emboldenham When you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we are weakest

and most divided. Namra's State Commissioner for Information Law Mepher made the government position known on Sunday after he led other government officials on a condolence visit to the bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to be the woman leader of the Enamor's State All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

Missus Esther on Ya KC.

twenty sixth and was subsequently killed. In a press statement released on Sunday, the State Commissioner for Information Law Mepha, sympathized with the deceaseds family, assuring them that the state government is in search of justice while sustaining and strengthening security in the state. Mepha, who maintained that such a development is an affront to the Professor Chokuma Soludo government's new security architecture, also expressed delight that the police are

on the heels of the perpetrators. The Commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the Enambra's State Apga ester On Yekesi.
