 Daring bandits continue kidnappings and havoc across Zampara, Niger, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto and Kevi states. The Nigerian state is so far unable to put a halt to their actions or find out why from a security expert. The Irigwe people of Platteau state accuse fuller needs of setting more than 250 homes on fire and destroying their farmlands. Both sides will be speaking to us this morning. And suspended head of police intelligence response team Abakari gets replacement in Tungi, Jisoo. Welcome to the breakfast on Platteau TV Africa. Good morning. Good to have you here. I am Annette Felix. And I am Usaugi Obon. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. We hope that we have a very interesting run this very beautiful Tuesday morning. Indeed. And we have been talking about the issue of the case of Hoshbopi for a long time. And we saw how, you know, US court documents showed links to the former commissioner of police were talking about the person of Abakari. The conversations, you know, continue to stir people's emotions and conversations. And we heard from Frank Uba when he put out our press statement yesterday that there's a replacement for him. And it's a person of Tungi, Jisoo. He went on to say, you know, this is someone who has been, you know, the former commander of the rapid response, scored IRS and Lagos. He was the deputy commissioner of, you know, states, of police. He was the department's, department of operations, Fawcett Courses in Abuja. He had previously served in state CID, river state as deputy head of the unit. He went on and on and on to list all his credentials. But when you take a look at that of Abakari, it's not really different. You know, these people take courses even abroad. You know, they have a first degree. They go on to bag a master's degree. So it's on paper. They seem fantastic, like fantastic candidates. But the question really has been about character and integrity. Those things you won't find on paper. You know, we heard yesterday one of the lawyers of the press, Mr. Tunde Kolawoli, making allegations and claims about how some, you know, people in the high ranks of the police force were corrupt. But I had to quickly stop him there to say, we don't have evidence of that. But when people tell you the experiences in the police force, you really wonder, do they really have the authorization to do that? And if it's been going on for how long, it makes you wonder, it seems that they do. You know, so right now, Tsengidisu has replaced Abakari. He's been charged to, you know, the usual, the press statement will tell you, oh, you're charged to exercise your duties with integrity and all of that. But it's left to be seen just how that will end. Oh, well, so my thoughts with regards to this. I, you know, I saw this yesterday and I'm sure it wasn't the only one. There's a lot of people who see this as great news, and that is mostly because Tsengidisu has shown in the time that he was in charge of the RRS here, because to be an exemplary officer, he's one person that was a people's favorite all over, well, Twitter before he was suspended. He, of course, in carrying on his duties was always very, very, he was always very, very professional. He was always wanting to interact with the people who always want to always give feedback on any of their operations, you know, whenever the RRS was called in to respond to anything. You know, Tsengidisu had a very, very great, you know, communication with, you know, the Nigerian people on every platform that he had. And he has shown, you know, and I'm not sure if there's any records of, you know, corruption or anything wrong, you know, concerning Tsengidisu's career, and he was missed. You know, eventually when he stepped down as the head of the RRS and moved somewhere else, I'm not sure where, but he was missed, you know, and so, you know, I saw a lot of people say yesterday that, you know, this is the first time that they felt great with a move made by the Nigerian police, a move made by, you know, the Inspector General of Police or, you know, Police Service Commission. And so it's great news from my perspective, and I'm sure for a lot of other people, because of Tsengidisu himself. Any other name that we may have seen there, yeah, we probably would have had the same thoughts, you know, that you just shared now that, okay, well, you know, have a lot of records, they've gone for a lot of courses, but still the same rotten system. Tsengidisu is an example of when people say, well, not all policemen are bad, you know, there's some bad eggs in the system, but there's some really good cops. He has lived that life and the time that he has been in service with the IRS has shown that, you know, there truly are some really, really great Nigerian policemen with no actual dent in his record that I'm aware of, except, you know, maybe if we start digging a lot further we might see, but I really, really doubt. And that is because of the way that he presented himself and the way that he ran the RRS. It's not been the same thing since he left, you know, and you can tell, you can almost tell that it's not been the same, you know, the emotions around the rapid response code have not been the same thing since Tsengidisu left. So I think it's a really, really good move for the image of the intelligence response team or what they're called. It's a really good move for, you know, the Nigerian police putting somebody, you know, like Tsengidisu there. And we hope that, you know, there is, you know, some sincerity with the way that the IRT works. I hope that he also is able to carry some of the, you know, attitude and the professionalism that he used to run the rapid response code into the IRT. You know, one of the fears that people would always have, two last things I would say, one of the fears people will always have is the way that they say, oh, you know, no matter how great you are as a person, when you move into a corrupt system, the system either, you know, corrupts you or makes it difficult for you to work. So I'm hoping that his personality and his character and professionalism as an officer will be able to transform the IRT and, you know, be able to, you know, make them more professional. Let us have less of these stories that we hear concerning the IRT and, you know, kick out the bad eggs. And then also, you know, let's also not forget and it's regular behavior for Nigerians that once the president is suspended, we, you know, go back home and sleep. No, that's not where this should end. There should be proper investigation, like I believe that they've started, the panel that has been set up, they've found guilty here. Forget the FBI owns of here for, you know, the crimes that he has been accused of against the Vincent Chibuzoff fellow and every other crime that were supposedly allegations, the 41 million that he allegedly took from that businessman, the woman in Enigu who says that her husband was killed was, you know, calling him to be a number about a kidnapper and, you know, they have been in control of their property and many other cases like that from the same things that he should, you know, pay the, you know, the price here in Nigeria, then we can now talk about, you know, they can, how can happen hand by hand, side by side. The FBI case also against him, because the FBI case is not, you know, that's not gossip, it's not, you know, whispers. These things, I believe, have really happened. Not at all, over a 150 page document, you know, which facts, evidence, a phone call, records, everything. And also, we saw proof of about 20,000 U.S. dollars that, you know, Hosh Poppy paid into the account of Abakiri. So it shouldn't end now, nobody should go to sleep because we, well, he has been suspended. No, that's not where it ends. Okay, so we're still, you know, talking about cybercrime this morning and if you remember the name of Ismai Mustafa, also known as Mafa, he was very popular because he was arrested by the EFCC for money laundering, alleged, you know, many other crimes. He was on the Instagram Live of Daddy Freeze, a popular radio presenter in Lagos and on that Saturday, Instagram Live, they were both talking about the whole situation and Mafa said, when Hosh Poppy was arrested, you know, he was opening up to Freeze telling him that he began to receive calls and even from EFCC, officials of the EFCC according to him, called him and told him to delete his social media pages and keep a low profile so that he doesn't also get into the spotlight and, you know, all the investigations, you know, open up, you know, but when he said that, you know, people became agitated to say, this is almost what we're seeing in the case of Hosh Poppy where someone who is a self-confessed fraudster now seem to have friends in high places especially in law enforcement, who now seem to have their back because if he said that people from the EFCC called him to warn him, Instagram is obviously they're looking out for him but we saw a statement from the EFCC yesterday saying that's not true but the EFCC was prosecuting that case and they would never put out a statement asking Mafa to keep a low profile to avoid being in the heat but we know that obviously if this ever happened, it was never an official statement made to him, this might be an official or two who probably said that, we don't have the fact that's what the likelihood is so EFCC has put out a statement I don't see how much of a calm that has given to the Nigerian people on this matter and for me good thing that the EFCC has responded it could really like you've said really just be him running his mouth it's possible that nothing like that ever happened there's also the possibility that they actually did happen because of the peculiarities of being in Nigeria and the kind of things that you hear and you are not shocked there's those possibilities it makes you question what really the case against him was back then that the EFCC was investigating it makes you wonder if it was the FBI that had carried out the investigation if he would have walked free but of course that's not accusing him of anything the EFCC has carried out the investigations they said he doesn't have a crime to answer for at that time but like they've said they are still investigating how that goes but my concern with all of this is how we how Nigerians give people who really should be nobodies make them celebrities and make them popular for absolutely no reason because he is not there's no actual value that he gives to the Nigerian society or the Nigerian populace same thing with Frizz why are we having these conversations and not also forgetting that Frizz himself is going to buy with Hoshkuapi making videos with his spouse or his wife or his girlfriend and eating and laughing at Nigerians in the same Dubai and saying that Nigerians should instead of them be begging Hoshkuapi to employ their fathers as drivers that's the same Frizz now that we are talking about that is interviewing Monfa so these things for me I feel like Nigerians give certain people some level of popularity that they don't deserve in any way so good luck to Monfa good luck to also the EFCC if there's an actual case then I hope that it comes to light if there's no case then these persons really don't deserve so much of Nigerian's conversations and they are not in any way the people that should represent the moral compass that Nigeria should be moving with or should be working with a lot of young Nigerians who want to see people like some of the people we were talking about this morning the ESEB rumors in the Olympics a lot of Nigerians who want to see people who are doing very well in sports in education technology and in medicine and in engineering and what not and those are the people that we should be looking at not people who we aren't sure exactly where their wealth comes from and turn them to celebrities all over overnight I really don't enjoy those people anyway so let's talk quickly sports yesterday I was saying that I would not be disappointed if Nigeria doesn't win anything at the Olympics ESEB rumor is one person who has eventually won a gold medal in the long jump event 6.9 meters I believe that she jumped and also we're expecting something from actually there's a confirmation about gold or silver for blessing or boy I hope I pronounce that name right well congratulations to the both of them it is finally you know some medal for Nigeria in Tokyo these two women have done Nigeria really really proud so we of course would absolutely celebrate them I like that it's also coming from women absolutely so we will celebrate them this morning and you know say that I hope that she actually gets the gold because she still has a chance of changing that silver to gold she's I think she's confirmed to win a silver but if in her next fight she gets victory then she will be winning the gold so and her name once again blessing Oburu do do also with the ESEB rumor I think we say have signed Oburu still competing he qualified for the next race and so he also is a favorite to maybe win any of the medals bronze silver or gold so congratulations to the both of them and we can't wait to receive them home you know shouldn't also take away the criticism for our smalls ministry for how the Nigerian Olympics team fared yeah I'm really proud of ESEB rumor really you see now what our headline reads Nigeria wins the medal in Tokyo when you know the victory comes it comes to the body the group but if she's lost out it to be ESEB rumor loses out on but it's just a reality people love to buy into success you know it's good for ESEB rumor like I mentioned she's had a history of wins 2019 Doha she won bronze as well now one bronze at the Tokyo Olympics good one and we love to see it absolutely and of course she's following full steps of Charmadronois who also won in the long jump event many many years ago so let's hope that any promises made to how before field in due time well so let's also hope that it's we're not winning medals because of promises so I feel like we should develop our sports industry to a place where people like for example Simon Biles is not winning because Joe Biden is going to promise a house you know so they get endorsements they get sponsorship from brands they get some of all of that I think it's almost we've been listening all her experience and effort to say that she's winning because of promises like why why not I mean that's her career that's her life yeah but it's not so this is what I'm saying our athletes shouldn't be going to the Olympics as I'm working as hard as they can because well you know the government will make promises so what I'm saying is you can't say that that's their motive that's that's where I'm going well you just said let's hope that promises made to how will not be you know not that that's the reason why she's competing that's not the reason she's competing no doubt but at the same time that shouldn't even be part of the conversation that promises will be made to her I'm saying that we should I hope that we develop our sports industry to a place where there's brands who actually want to associate with you want to make you the ambassadors when you win yes you will win and you you know take on that victory it will be a part of your life forever but let it be that there is more there's there's Adidas there's if there's any low Nigerian brands that want to associate with you and make you a brand ambassador make a lot of money from those type of endorsements and you are 100% sure that you will when you win a medal at the Olympics relying on government promises has always never been the right way to go for nine years I doubt that they are relying on government promises anyway let's take a break here and we'll turn to join our guest to analyze today's papers
