initiated a call specifically on the 4th

play04:09

of May 2024 Mr Idris AKA Bob riski

play04:14

contacted our client requesting a phone

play04:16

conversation with him our client obliged

play04:20

having knowledge of the naira abuse

play04:22

charges levied against him and genuinely

play04:24

believing he might require legal advice

play04:27

Mr Idris AKA Bob riski called shortly

play04:31

after but instead of soliciting legal

play04:34

advice stated that he was in distress

play04:37

and needed financial assistance of about

play04:39

3 million naira which he claimed he

play04:42

needed to pay some officials to be

play04:44

permitted to stay in the VIP section of

play04:46

the correctional center in the letter

play04:49

fana asked for a public apology to be

was in that letter which was the main

play05:11

defamation F had said without contacting

our client you went ahead that is very

play05:17

dark man to publish a careless statement

play05:20

containing multiple allegations

play05:22

including an insinuation that our client

play05:24

is involved in a homosexual Affair and

play05:27

intended to get a presidential pardon

play05:30

for Mr Idris okuna very dark man very

play05:34

dark man violent he has actually

play05:37

responded a I watched his um uh post I

play05:41

believe it was on YouTube and he talked

play05:43

about the fact that you know he did not

play05:45

U accuse uh fils of anything but you

play05:48

heard in that video If you all heard

play05:50

that video clip he did insinuate that

play05:53

fouls may have been um homosexual but I

play05:56

think the big story here is the

play05:58

accusation really of the efcc officials

play06:01

and the Nigerian Correctional Facility I

play06:03

would like to start with Dr abbati

play06:05

really on this conversation okay I mean

play06:08

this is a very disturbing thing the

play06:10

first point we must admit is that all

play06:12

the parties involved have been saying oh

play06:15

I didn't say this I didn't say that

play06:18

first social media interaction

play06:20

electronic interaction that's what we

play06:22

have seen first to establish that people

play06:25

must know that what you do on a on a

play06:29

phone

play06:31

or Internet or computer and all

play06:35

that the evidence is admissible in law

play06:38

in Nigeria section 84 of The Evidence

play06:41

Act of uh 2011 and also section 258 of

play06:46

The Evidence Act and also we have the

play06:49

book on uh electronic evidence in

play06:51

Nigeria the uh the one of the

play06:54

authorities that I know is that of

play06:56

Justice Alaba jile so nobody she say oh

play07:00

it's not my voice is this and that the

play07:03

court can admit the evidence and

play07:05

investigate it that's number one number

play07:08

two is that very dark man I think his

play07:12

name is essay Victor essay he has said

play07:15

oh is it Mar Martin say say whatever

play07:18

that oh he didn't say those things he

play07:20

just asked a question that is f also no

play07:24

there's something called inuendo

play07:27

absolutely if you just make any

play07:30

unnecessary inuendo that is defamatory

play07:33

per se you can be called to question and

play07:35

it is on the basis of that that councel

play07:39

to F that's Mr fallano Jun you know

play07:44

forano I said there should be a

play07:46

retraction what he has said you know

play07:49

through his

play07:50

lawyer that oh he didn't say so well he

play07:54

will have if F decides to go to court

play07:59

you know he have to go and defend

play08:00

himself number three he also alleged

play08:03

that

play08:04

Fe you know was involved in this attempt

play08:07

to procure

play08:09

pardon in terms of the implication for

play08:11

the Justice Administration system in

play08:13

Nigeria that's a very serious matter

play08:15

yeah in that same video there was

play08:18

evidence you know the allusion that

play08:21

biski his name is

play08:24

ok was said to have been sentenced to

play08:27

prison first that he he

play08:30

procured uh the reduction of the charges

play08:33

yes and second that a certain Godfather

play08:36

intervened and instead of going to

play08:38

prison they paid a certain Controller

play08:40

General and he stayed in a flat these

play08:44

are very disturbing things about the

play08:45

justice system in Nigeria but I've seen

play08:48

people who say anything is possible here

play08:51

after all we were in this country when a

play08:53

certain person who shall remain nameless

play08:56

was in prison and his wife h he

play09:00

pregnated his wife from prison and in

play09:02

fact there was a naming ceremony while

play09:05

he was still in prison how did he get to

play09:07

a position where he impregnated his wife

play09:10

imate conception Immaculate Conception

play09:12

you know this is where I want you to

play09:13

come in RI really quickly because this

play09:15

is the bigger conversation the fact that

play09:18

you know our prison system you know

play09:21

allegedly so porous I mean if you had

play09:23

seen some reports from fi F Soo he had

play09:28

posted different you know I there was a

play09:30

time he spent in jail on he went

play09:32

undercover and he did reveal damning

play09:35

evidence about the fact that our prison

play09:38

system it's like this so that report is

play09:40

out there and the question is what will

play09:42

the minister of interior do so generally

play09:44

he has he has said that they will order

play09:47

an investigation we'll see the outcome

play09:49

of that investigation there are some

play09:50

investigations we're waiting we're also

play09:52

waiting for the efcc as regards to 15

play09:54

million that was said uh to be given to

play09:57

some efcc officials to be able to give

play10:00

them you know uh to be able to drop

play10:01

those charges of money laundry because

play10:03

all of us too were surprised when that

play10:05

thing happened because all of a sudden

play10:07

it was money laundry charges plus nirra

play10:09

flunkin yes then all of a sudden money

play10:11

laundry dropped then it was just only

play10:13

naira flunkin before it went in for this

play10:16

then also we will have to have

play10:18

investigations deeply because we've

play10:20

heard a lot of complaints especially as

play10:22

regards the prison service what goes on

play10:24

there in fact we've had like two people

play10:26

bring letters officially that I have

play10:28

sent to the minister himself as regards

play10:32

the state of our prison and what is

play10:33

really going on there so we like to get

play10:35

to the end of the matter as regards the

play10:37

very Darkman Revelation if biski is

play10:41

saying that he didn't say all those

play10:42

things I think we also need to have a

play10:44

private investigation where we subject

play10:46

bis's voice to forensics yes because

play10:48

there is we can get yeah so that we can

play10:50

get a full forensic Outlook as regards

play10:54

what happened M and as regards uh Falls

play10:58

writing that letter say they should

play11:00

retract you know when you look at H very

play11:03

dark man's what's it called uh

play11:06

Expos there were some things he needed

play11:09

to have been careful

play11:11

on I think just playing the audio will

play11:14

have been

play11:16

adequate a lot of mistakes were made in

play11:19

the

play11:20

analysis where he went ahead to cast

play11:24

aspion and say oh this person is defend

play11:26

this person so they they go that way mhm

play11:30

like Dr said he left room for inuendos

play11:32

there because when you read files

play11:36

rotal he now gave a full context to the

play11:39

conversation saying that they were even

play11:42

telling them that you don't need to pay

play11:43

for any part no not not for any pardon

play11:45

for the VIP section the only

play11:47

conversation they had was a a 3 million

play11:50

nirra whatever so he gave some clarity

play11:53

as the context in that matter but all of

play11:56

this too is not ending because you you

play11:59

know all of this really started because

play12:00

of money mhm yes the person that

play12:02

matter to get to the end the reason I

play13:27

said that is because like Dr excited

play13:29

this is not the first time we have heard

play13:32

or seen or that we know that things on

play13:35

towards are happening in the prison

play13:36

service yes that's the point did a very

play13:39

he went in at the risk of like what

play13:41

happened so what would just happen is it

play13:44

would be social media sensation for a

play13:45

few weeks I'm just what has happened in

play13:48

the past but because Nam because that's

play13:51

what I'm saying is that people say oh my

play13:53

goodness did you hear did you how many

play13:54

times have exposes been done and nothing

play13:57

has happened but let me just say

play13:58

something the the the spirit behind this

play14:00

as well and I was going to clarify that

play14:02

recall that the reason why he released

play14:04

this audio in the first place was almost

play14:05

T out of

play14:06

blackmail that's another angle because

play14:09

he told Bob risky that if you don't pay

play14:10

me the money I will release and then he

play14:12

recorded that audio without the

play14:15

knowledge I want to assume of so there's

play14:17

another thing around there as well on

play14:18

the side of there's black black elements

play14:22

there say that because B has denied the

play14:25

audio we can only say that confirmed one

play14:32

if it's confirmed by for expert that's

play14:34

actually bis's audio they will not go

play14:37

into privacy laws exactly because that

play14:40

one to we cannot because people also do

play14:43

it in our country you have and they

play14:45

record your conversations okay well all

play14:47

right of can determine all of this I

play14:50

want to say made one point that Justice

play14:53

in this country will seem to be only for

play14:56

the rich people that the poor do not

play14:59

have access to Justice at a theoretical

play15:02

level access to justice is an important

play15:04

Point AB talking about the legal issues

play15:07

the dramatist personnel there can sort

play15:10

it out including the public officials

play15:12

that have been mentioned using their

play15:14

position uh to trade all right talking

play15:17

about Justice is going to lead me to my

play15:19

next story we all have to sum this up

play15:21

Bob riski who is in the center of the

play15:23

story has denied all allegations at this

play15:26

point so we are not accusing anybody on

play15:28

the show but we need to reveal this

play15:31

investigation such a big story we'll

play15:33

follow up on it we'll take another story

play15:36

now private Ruth uger an ex female

play15:40

soldier who was said to have been

play15:42

play15:44

Karim of sexual harassment has demanded

play15:51

play15:54

investigation that led to her

play17:07

of Defense staff General Christopher

play17:10

Musa and he did nothing adding that

play17:12

she's scared for her life let's take a

play17:15

look look a cck up story because during

play17:19

the course of that investigation the

play17:20

Nigerian Army took me to National

play17:23

Hospital for medical evaluation which

play17:25

turned out to be negative and they told

play17:27

me that they could not diagnose me

play17:29

is all I want all right I watched This

play17:48

Woman's story yesterday I was touched

play17:51

this woman has asked for help I mean she

play17:54

does appear like she's completely stable

play17:56

her interview was on point she didn't

play17:59

appear to be unstable Dr aati oh I'll be

play18:02

brief we we we discussed this yesterday

play18:05

and we said we still like to hear from

play18:07

her but we also like to hear from the

play18:09

minister of women Affairs yes we said

play18:11

yesterday Kennedy she mentioned and I

play18:15

saw her interview on AIT I saw you know

play18:18

the other report in the other stations

play18:21

uh she was very lucid she didn't come

play18:23

across as if she's uh uh you know

play18:25

medically vulnerable and uh you know I

play18:29

when I looked at it I said okay I can

play18:31

understand why the conel was misbehaving

play18:34

you know with that

play18:35

diasta you

play18:38

know no let me finish now we that St and

play18:43

all of that in fact I got so carried

play18:45

away with her presentation even

play18:48

sympathizing with her she was raped

play18:50

nobody listened to her she had to go to

play18:52

the woman she confronted the military

play18:55

the Nigerian army with empirical facts

play18:58

in fact at a point I said this is a

play19:00

woman of empirical fact and we have

play19:03

somebody on this

play19:04

T some on this table who is always

play19:08

talking empirical fact so in terms of

play19:11

spirit if I would not mind recommending

play19:13

this woman as you know a good friend a

play19:17

good Ally for R all right you know what

play19:20

I want to just

play19:22

C want to say

play19:24

one Association I'm not even listened to

play19:27

what drad my head

play19:29

yes as regards this please do we have a

play19:32

safe house for This Woman This is the

play19:33

main point I think that's the we need a

play19:36

safe house what is the Army actually

play19:38

even doing for people that have mental

play19:41

instability cuz this is what is this is

play19:43

what they're they're claiming how did

play19:45

you dismiss her like that let just say

play19:46

something she also mentioned the name of

play19:48

the chief of Defense General I think on

play19:50

behalf of all the women who serve in the

play19:52

military that they owe it to them to

play19:54

open an investigation so that the

play19:56

institution doesn't seem like one that

play19:58

protect prots or Shields women from

play20:00

getting Justice against sexual

play20:02

harassment she's not the first case and

play20:04

this is a strong show for the military

play20:05

to see that they support women and they

play20:07

will they have no tolerance Zero

play20:09

Tolerance sexual harass inded not just U

play20:13

major um chief of defenser she also um

play20:16

indicted I believe um lag as well

play20:19

t as well

play20:21

as and we need to hear from the Army

play20:24

because this is not the end of the story

play20:27

she has come out to lay these

play20:29

allegations she also talked about the

play20:30

fact that you know the Corel had put her

play20:33

in body bag in a body bag and raped her

play20:35

consistently this is unacceptable it is

play20:38

a real real shame if the Nigerian Army

play20:41

is you know operating uh doing a cover

play20:43

up for this story we need to hear more

play20:45

yes we'll take another

play20:47

story the special advisor to president

play20:50

Bola ahed tinubu on information and

play20:53

strategy by on nuga on Wednesday

play20:55

disclosed plans for an imminent cabinet

play20:58

Shuffle during a press briefing at the

play21:01

State House in Abuja on onoga stated

play21:04

that it remains unclear when the

play21:06

president will make the changes but

play21:08

urged ministers to actively promote the

play21:10

progress of the tinu administration

play21:13

adding that many Nigerians are unaware

play21:16

of the government's achievements as some

play21:18

ministers have been reluctant to speak

play21:20

publicly cabinet is let me tell you I

play21:23

don't have any timeline the president

play21:26

has uh expressed his desire desire to

play21:29

reshuffle his cabinet and he will do it

play21:32

I don't know whether he want to do it

play21:34

before October 1 but he will surely do

play21:36

it uh so that's what I will say he has

play21:40

not given us any timeline when he wants

play21:41

to do it but he will do it he has

play21:44

expressed his plan he wants to do it

play21:46

want to for I think this is about the

play21:48

first time that I'm seeing B nuga you

play21:50

know represent the president in you know

play21:52

the visual manner first video recording

play21:55

that I've seen him he's doing very well

play21:57

but you know this is about is about time

play21:59

people have talked about the fact that

play22:00

you know the cabinet needs to be

play22:01

reshuffled I believe that the guardian

play22:03

is reporting that those familiar with

play22:05

some of the details of the imminent

play22:07

cabinet rof will say that 11 ministers

play22:10

have been penciled down for replacement

play22:12

with the chief of staff to the president

play22:15

Fe likely to be relieved of his

play22:17

appointment and the former minister of

play22:20

works and housing babat F will be a

play22:22

likely replacement for bab well if he

play22:25

declines the offer the current principal

play22:28

secretary to the president Hakim mua has

play22:31

been identified to fill the void then

play22:34

the Minister of Finance and coordinating

play22:36

minister of economy W Adu is expected to

play22:38

get a junior minister in the person of

play22:42

uh the chairman presidential fiscal

play22:43

policy and tax reforms committee Mr Taio

play22:46

oel while decisive action is likely to

play22:49

be taken on the minister of humanitarian

play22:51

Affairs and poverty elevation better I

play22:54

do your girl insiders say the ministry

play22:57

might be scraped also the Ministers of

play23:00

Communications Innovation and digital

play23:02

economy boson Tani minister of State

play23:04

environment and ecological management

play23:07

ishak salako minister of budget and

play23:10

economic planning ATU bagudu Ministry of

play23:12

Industry trade and investment dor

play23:15

minister of interior u t Ojo and a few

play23:19

others may not be lucky in the imminent

play23:22

cabinet Shuffle I had to point out this

play23:25

amazing you know breakdown by the by the

play23:29

so you see that's part of the things you

play23:31

were saying investigation as you guys

play23:34

better I do so what's the conclusion of

play23:36

the investigation investigation team we

play23:38

only have one

play23:41

minute he's doing a fantastic job Mr

play23:45

Fantastic job the others on that list I

play23:46

agree I saw you do I think the

play23:48

speculations are absolutely unnecessary

play23:51

I think it is poor form on the part of

play23:53

the government to make this announcement

play23:56

if the president wants to reshuffle his

play23:58

cabinet he has full powers under Section

play24:00

Five of the 1999 Constitution you should

play24:03

just go to the Federal Executive council

play24:05

meeting and say these ministers will no

play24:08

longer be here these are the new ones

play24:11

otherwise they will be putting pressure

play24:12

on everybody going to beg not me not me

play24:17

Nigerians need a new cabinet

play24:19

announcement telling us SC ml this

play24:22

unnecessary just give us a new set give

play24:24
