VIDEO CLIP PORTRAYING THE ALLEGE CAPTURE AND KILLING OF SOME NIGERIAN SOLDIERS BY BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS ON 10 DECEMBER 2019 IS FALSE
The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a viral, unsubstantiated and apparently fabricated video clip circulating on the social media portraying the stage managed/so called capture and killing of some Nigerian soldiers by Boko Haram terrorists on the 10th of December 2019.
The Nigerian Army wishes to emphatically state that there was no incident that involved the "capture and killing of tens and tens of Nigerian soldiers on the 10th of December 2019" as mischievously and wickedly portrayed in the video.
Similarly, preliminary observation of the video clip (even by the amateur) will reveal that the video was doctored and that the entire events captured in the footage was not an occurrence that took place at any point in time within the shores of Nigeria.
To this end the Nigerian Army is hereby calling on the members of the general public and indeed personnel of the Nigerian Army especially those in the North East theatre of operation to disregard the sinister, very inciting and divisive video concocted and peddled by the outlawed IPOB members whose main objective is the disunity and fragmentation of Nigeria as clearly shown or espoused in the video.
Accordingly, the call by one Simon Ekpa, (the principal actor in the clip), calling on soldiers of South East extraction presently serving in the North East to desert the Army and return to Biafra as well as calling on South Easterners not to join the Nigerian Army is an obvious indication of the essence and objective of the masterminds of this fake video which should be dicountenanced by the public.
Meanwhile the leadership of the Nigerian Army wish to also reiterate its unflinching commitment to sustain the war against terrorism and shall not be deterred by the evil machinations or propagandist activities of mischievous persons whose main interest is the disunity of our beloved nation.

So those people commenting that they knew the soldiers and police man killed in the video are telling lies? I really pity all the soildiers from the SE in the Nigerian army it looks they are been used as sacrificial lambs in this political bokoharam war.
RiyaGoddess: Everybody is saying Yoruba's are quiet bla bla bla. Kill a mad man, na that time you go know say even the mad man get family.
Nothing will happen if sowore is killed in detention if the yorubas cant do anything when one of their greatest sons mko abiola was killed is it small sowore who some of them are even referring to as an ijaw man they will now go to war for?
All the thausands of innocent souls that was wasted in the past four years of this regime may have finally come to haunt them in form of confusion in the Villa
akelicious: As Christian persecution increases in the northern part of Nigeria, massive conversions of Muslims to Christianity are taking place too. The pictures below was taken during an evangelical rally in Kogi State where over two thousand people from the Muslim faith surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ.
As Old as FFk is he doesnt understand tenure end and he calls it a sack
whether Buhari replaces Fowler with Abubakar Shekau or Nnamdi Kanu, the money Remita would continue to make from FIRS and Ministries and Agencies of FG like Customs, FRSC and Interior is still stagerring
Tinubu be checking his account balance and laughing at Okoros
..
So u think the new man on the helm of affairs won't carefully scrutinize and stop all the contractual agreements entered into by fowler?
titiloyeblog: Residents of Okofia, Otolo Nnewi in Anambra state have banished a man in his 60s for reportedly impregnating his daughter twice.
In photos shared on Facebook, the elderly man who is allegedly from Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area had palm fronds tied on his neck. His daughter who was carrying a baby also had palm fronds tied on her leg to show that they engaged in abominable acts.
The father and daughter were then led to a waiting bus where all their property was packed in by the community members.
Facebook user, Okoro Abraham who shared the photos wrote;
I really love communities like these that do take this kinds of issues very seriously if this where to have happened in some places no one would even bothered everyone would surely be minding his or her own business.
Drinokrane: Femi Fani Kayode, a former minister for aviation, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of prosecuting only former public office holders who are Christians.
The former Minister made this Pronouncement via his Twitter handle, he also questioned President Muhammadu Buhari if Christians are the only ones that steal government treasuries among the former public office holders, Igbere TV reports.
He wrote: “Every former Governor and key former public office holder that has been convicted of corruption since Buhari came to power from Jolly Nyam to Joshua Dariye to Bala Ngilari to Orji Kalu is a Christian. Make of it what you will but that is a fact. Is it only Christians that steal?”
Although ffk is right on this one buhari should continue to jail corrupt politicians from the East whose massive looting have deprived the SE of basic infrastructures like good roads, public health centers etc.
Checkout how Ikpeazu is reconstructing deplorable Osisioma road Aba, also installing Streetlights in Enyimba city
These roads looks substandard I really doubt if they can last up to a year ikpeazu needs to go to gov. Umahi of ebonyi state for tutoring on how to build quality roads that lasts with little resources.
Racoon: Good! All the leaders in this oppressive & repressive APC govt. from the president to the least in the political heiracy of leadership should be shamed, disgraced & boycotted.
Since they failed to acknowledge that the masses put them in position hence care less about their wellbeing, then it's time to put them where they rightly belong-the political dustbin of histroy.Ndi ara.
Who award help? As long as the billions keeps coming from the Villa osinbanjo won't mind.
IkwerreSon: Governor Wike of Rivers State has urged the Ikwerre People not to be intimidated saying there can be no political position without the ikwerre people playing prominent roles.
He said: Let nobody intimidate you, we are not second class citizens and we will not be second class citizens.
If anybody ask you, where are you from, say I am an “Ikwerre Man”. Some people think we are not important, we are important, we are very very important,
If they like it or they don’t like it, the politics of Nigeria and Rivers State we are very very important.
No ethnic group in nigeria is second class it's just selfish greedy politicians that is making it look as if we have first, second and third class Nigerians. These wicked politicians use our ethnic and religious differences to win elections every four years, nigerians really needs to wake up. There is no way an Ikewere man can even win any election in nigeria at the federal level without the support of those wike feel are second class citizens.
This is what you get when you elect a terrorist as ur president they have finally found official way to wipe out the entire population of southern and middle belt Nigeria.
BeLookingIDIOT: Purchase Innoson cars if you just feel like wasting money.Aside their outrageous prices for low quality products,they still don't last. Why give their brands Igbo names That's rude! Hope igbos are his only targeted market.
There is absolutely nothing rude there so u want him to name his cars english or yoruba names? Why didnt u protest when the nigerian army recently named their mine resistant armoured vehicle ezukwu mrap. Hate combined with envy kills my friend.

Zoharariel: I'm neither beefing nor hating on Innoson but I'd rather buy these 3 German Machines (which are on my bucket list) than touch any Innoson Jalopies with a long pole. It is called choice.
1.) 2014 Audi A8 in Velvet Biege leather interior.
2.) 2016 Mercedes Benz S550 in Silk Biege leather interior.
3.) 2018 Bmw Alpina B7 in Black Leather.
Innoson sells his Chinese death traps for 25Million Naira & above but the highest I can get these USED German Machines is $95,000 which ofcourse - is the Alpina.
The rest (Audi A8 & Benzo S550) I can get for less than $30,000.
So, if Innoson likes, he can release an Airplane or Helicopter - I simply don't give a fvck!
Rome wasn't built in a day patronize and encourage ur country men so that they can also grow and compete with the very best in the world some day. This Audi cars u love so much started from somewhere they didnt start up as the very best in the world market.
fernandez1: These man is really trying.....oya corruption fighters oya ban importation of foreign used cars so that we will buy and grow naija......
Innoson currently don't have the capacity to meet up with the demand this is a market of almost 200m people. I don't think he even produces up to 1m cars yearly.
EBMedia: Lauretta Onochie said that there was no evidence to show that DSS re-arrested Sowore as was reported.
She said:
WHO DRAMA EPP? EVERY LIE WILL EXPIRE. COURTROOM DRAMA EXPLAINED.
So it was a stage managed drama in the court yesterday; Sowore pinned down by his supporters in a courtroom in order to give DSS a bad name.
There was no gun. No batton. No pinning down. Just plain drama, planned and staged by his boys and girls. Kudos, but every lie has an expiration date.
Many EYEWITNESSES have said DSS was OUTSIDE the courtroom, not inside the courtroom.
Here's one more eyewitness account as reported by Adeniyi Adegbomire SAN-
A friend of mine, Wale Fapohunda, who was in court today when Sowore's re-arrest was purportedly effected inside the courtroom has this to say about the incident:
"Okay, so I was in court today and here is what happened.
The court had adjourned his matter till 11th Feb next year.
The court called the next matter and proceeding had commenced in respect of the next matter.
Sowore stepped OUT OF THE COURT ROOM and suddenly we heard noises coming from the corridor "leave me alone" "they want to kill me" "they want to kill Sowore" and all that.
Suddenly Sowore's people started dragging him with the DSS and they (Sowores team) dragged him into the court room.
The judge seeing this, rose and went to her chambers.
The DSS didn't enter the court room to arrest him rather his supporters dragged him in with the DSS official.
Nobody chased the judge out, she rose and went to her chambers on seeing squabbles.
The DSS official left the court room and waited for him outside the court.
Thank you all. Behold my eye witness account".
Blackmailing government enforcement agencies was how our nation went into decay. It wont work this time. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
It appears everyone in that drama was part of the drama club. They harassed a Court officer who wanted them out as they were disrupting another court case. A Lawyer who looked bemused with the whole drama was lost for words.
Drama has not helped Dino Melaye. It has not helped Olise Metuh. Drama has not helped Orji Uzo Kalu.
Drama will not help Sowore because Once you dramatise a lie to the members of the public to attract sympathy, you lose all of that sympathy when they find out you have misled them.
I'm also of the opinion that the police look into these videos, (I have watched four) and charge those who deliberately misled the general public on this issue.
Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), who leads Mr Omoyele Sowore’s defence team, has asked the Nigerian Bar Association to take disciplinary actions against lawyers in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet over what he described as desecration of the court with Sowore’s rearrest at the Federal High Court in Abuja, causing a disruption of court proceedings.
He said his legal team would meet on Saturday to determine the next line of action.
He said there were 10 lawyers with four of them Senior Advocates of Nigeria, who ought to live up to their oath to defend the Constitution and other laws of the country, by ensuring that the rule of law was observed by the government.
The SANs in the cabinet are Vice President Yemi Osinbajon (SAN), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of State for Labour, Mr Festus Keyamo; and Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.
He said, “Even though President Muhammadu Buhari has a duty to caution the Department of State Services, the blame of the desecration of the court today (Friday) rests squarely on lawyers in government, who are under a duty to ensure that the rule of law is observed.

“They have all taken the oath to respect the Constitution and other laws of the country. That Constitution guarantees the independence and impartiality of the courts.
“They therefore cannot sit in a cabinet under a regime that terrorises the courts and subverts the rule of law.
“It is a matter the Nigerian Bar Association should take up against the lawyers in the cabinet by instituting disciplinary proceedings against them.”
Faulting the arrest of his client, he described it as contemptuous.
He also noted that it was not backed by any arrest warrant or detention order of court.
He said, “There is no warrant of arrest, there is no detention order. What the DSS did today was the height of contempt of court.
“Nobody is above the law. You either abolish the courts or allow them to function effectively.
“This is a situation where the DSS operatives invaded the court and forced the judge to adjourn proceedings; they chased the judge out of her court, disrupted the proceedings and forced the judge to adjourn all cases.
“These are manifestations of fascism, which cannot be accepted in any civilised society. This has never happened in Nigeria where you take over a court forcefully in order to arrest an unarmed citizen.
“You remember that it was the illegal invasion of the National Assembly by masked DSS men that led to the dismissal of the former DG, DSS, by this government.
“So for the same barbaric conduct to occur again is unacceptable. This is a regime that parades 10 senior lawyers, including four Senior Advocates of Nigeria.”
Asked if he had been informed of any reason why his client was rearrested or whether he was going to be freshly, he said “no”
The whole blame should actually go to u and others that deliberating packaged a well known unrepentant terrorist and dictator to gullible nigerians to elect as their president. We can forgive all those who were'nt born befor buhari became a military head of state in 1983 but not all those who witnessed all his brutality yet vigorously campaigned for him due to their tribal, religous and economic personal interests?

ghettokid1: Both Aj & ruiz have descended on the desert of Saudi Arabia for the rematch. . RUIZ SAID: "I'm confident about the rematch, but i don't underestimate any fighter. I know Aj is going to come stronger and more focused but inside the gym. Like Mike Tyson says, 'Everyone has a plan until they get hit'.
I'm sure everybody was trying to look for an excuse and reasons why he did'nt perform and why he lost. I think it was down to style. Styles make fights and i have been calling Aj out for a while. I knew his style was perfect for me and that's why i plan to do same thing".
JOSHUA SAID: It's about how u come back. I have different challenge in my head. When you have walked the road once, you can do it again. I'm looking at myself in the mirror and saying; 'i know am better than that loosing(last time round)'. Andy is still the same person. He will come game and i've got to change some of my bits and bobs. .
VENUE: Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
TV STATION: no Nigeria tv station will air it.
This white dude dont look physically tough to beat aj i dont even know how he won the last fight.
