We're not going to stop - Israelis arrested in Nigeria and accused of supporting IPOB speak after 3 weeks in detention

Rudy Rochman, David Benaym, and Noam Leibman, the three Israelis arrested in Nigeria and detained for 3 weeks by the DSS over allegations they are supporting IPOB, have granted an interview after their release.

Rudy Rochman, who is a Zionist activist, and David Nenaym, a French-Israeli journalist, were arrested alongside filmmaker Noam Leibman in a Synagogue in Ogidi village, Anambra State, where they went to shoot a documentary titled, 'We Were Never Lost'.

Following their arrest, they were taken to Abuja where they were interrogated and detained for 3 weeks before being allowed to return to Israel.

Back home in Tel Aviv, Israel, they granted an interview immediately upon arrival.

They said they were happy to be freed after 3 weeks in detention but they will not stop telling the story of the Jewish life in Nigeria.

Rudy Rochman said during the interview: "We just went through 3 weeks in a cage locked up for no reason. We did nothing wrong. We just came there to show the stories of the Jewish life in Nigeria - the Igbos - and though we were not able to do our full project, we're still not gonna stop and we're still going to share the stories and showcase that they get recognition and that people understand who they are.

"But, obviously, we're very tired and very happy to be back home."

Noam, the third man detained by the DSS, later joined in on the interview and expressed regrets that they couldn't complete the project that brought them to Nigeria.

He added that though they couldn't get it done now, "we're not giving up for the future."

The men said they made it clear via their social media account before their arrest that they were not affiliated to any secessionist movement, yet that didn't stop their arrest.

They were arrested by "about a dozen armed men in ski masks" who told them they were just going to take them in for questioning for "30 minutes".

However, the men said they ended up keeping them all night and made them sleep on the floor.

"We ended up staying there the entire night and then the next morning, they wake us up from sleeping on the floor," Rudy Rochman said, adding, "They stuff us back with black ski masks at gun point into cars and they took us 9 hour drive to Abuja, very dangerous drive, just swerving and speeding all over. And then we find ourselves 20 days, locked up in a cage over there."

Rochamn alleged that due process was not followed and they were not officially arrested or accused, yet they were treated like criminals.

He continued: "And at no point were we actually arrested. They didn't tell us that we were accused of something, they didn't tell us you're officially arrested of something. And their status of 'invited' is what allows them to not allow us to have a lawyer, not allow us to have a phone call, not allow us to have any rights..."

He said that they told the security operatives that since they were not under arrest, they should let them go but the men told them, "if you go, then we'll stop you."

Rochman added that they tried to leave a few times but "they jumped on us and threw us back into the cage."

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

It is obvious they are not supporting any secessionist

It is not a crime to show the stories of the Jewish life in Nigeria
But the headline though..
put on my intellectual cap to read between lines as i perused through the body of the story while blazing my weed and i must say the write up is misleading and confusing
A real niggarrr is Submerged in a miasma of melancholy that our blockers, writers and journalists no longer know the usefulness and purpose of headline
As a real niggarrrr let me reiterate for the sake of emphasis or rather let me emphasize that headline or heading is the text indicating the true nature of the article below it or rather it is a summary of what the article is all about

I don't understand.....what crime did they actually commit?

Not surprised thoo....this kontri seems to be a scalar quantity

Biafra is never a child's play... Haters can masturbate all they can

Better go home in peace before they say you are ipob

Imagine if Kanu can achieve actualization of BIAFRA, these present set of unserious, unpatriotic , Fulani bootlicking governors in the South East will fighting for leadership.

Biafra all the way.

.


It was very obvious that they were on a Mission the very first time the landed in Nigeria.

Reason why I expected the the DSS to publicly ignore them while secretly monitoring their movement. But no, the DSS lacks good social psychologists in their arsenal and thus are easily trapped in.

The DSS is surely not the sharpest tool in the carpenter workshop.

They should continue giving themselves medal by chasing yahoo boys and other petty criminals.



.

Nigeria should apply caution with these arrests.

D

Yes, never succumb to oppression!

Well

Lol

Misleading Headline.


What they actually said

"
We just went through 3 weeks in a cage locked up for no reason. We did nothing wrong. We just came there to show the stories of the Jewish life in Nigeria - the Igbos - and though we were not able to do our full project, we're still not gonna stop and we're still going to share the stories and showcase that they get recognition and that people understand who they are.

"But, obviously, we're very tired and very happy to be back home."

Hmm

Make nna no stop ooo

Sad
But in this case, whatever goes up must surely come down.

Biafra to the world

W

IPOB is a tsunami that's unstoppable

Ok

make Israel help us throw like 3 missiles go aso rock abeg, make the country reset.

Arresting before investigating is the hallmark of dysfunctional establishment
In civilised climes run by merit-not quota system, before an arrest of this kind is made, such suspect is put under clandestine monitoring which enables the authority to gather compelling evidence that will be enough to nail him in any court in the land.
Then once the suspect is arrested, it will only take the services of a very smart legal team or God intervention before the suspect can be left off the hook.
For naija,they will arrest you first, your people will look for money to bail you, then the police will commence their investigations afterwards

[color=#000000][/color]Lol the insecured DSS had to arrest them for trying to prove that ibos are lost tribe of isreal nawa..but where is dino ,I haven't heard about him ever since the chief tailor of the police force was indicted in USA through his friend hushpuppy call log..hope he is still around,he should stand up for his good friend hushmoni
