00:00Nigerian Army has said that the corporal that was captured and freed on Sunday by Biafra Liberation Army,
00:06a secessionist armed group operating mainly in the southeastern part of Nigeria was an ex-military personnel.
00:13The army who stated on Sunday in a statement as reported by Vanguard newspaper did not give details on when the freed corporal exited the Nigerian military service.
00:24The statement issued by Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations,
00:30described action of the Biafra Liberation Army as acts of terror, as the acts are villainous and dehumanizing.
00:38The Nigerian Army has strongly condemned the brutal treatment of innocent citizens,
00:43including a retired ex-corporal, Toreola Adewale, by the indigenous people of Biafra, Aipop and the Biafra Liberation Army.
00:53The army has called on international organizations, such as Amnesty International and the International Criminal Court,
01:01to hold Simon Epa and other Aipop leaders accountable for these heinous crimes.
01:06A disturbing video circulating online shows an ex-soldier, Corporal Toreola Adewale,
01:12being subjected to brutal torture by IPOB, Biafra Liberation Army.
01:18He was forced to deliver coerced messages to active military personnel, urging them to abandon their duties.
01:25The claim by Aipop that ex-Corporal Toreola is still serving in the Nigerian Army is false.
01:32This propaganda is an attempt to justify their mistreatment of an unarmed, law-abiding citizen who served his country meritoriously.
01:41The Nigerian Army urges all Nigerians to disregard this malicious video and stand united against IPOB's terrorism.
01:49We call on international organizations to take immediate action and hold Simon Epa and other Aipop leaders accountable for these crimes.
01:58The Nigerian Army will remain steadfast in protecting all Nigerians, including its retired and active personnel, from terror.
02:07Justice will soon catch up with Simon Epa and his accomplices.
02:12They can run, but they cannot hide forever, Nigerian Army stated.
02:17In a swift reaction, Simon Epa tweeted that the Nigerian terrorist's Nigerian Army finally acknowledged the Biafra Liberation Army after three years of secret war in Biafra land.
02:30For the very first time, the Nigerian terrorist army, Nigerian Army, has mentioned and acknowledged the Woto Woto of the Biafran Liberation Army.
02:40They keep denying they are deployed terrorists in Biafran territory when they are caught in acts of terrorism.
02:46However, they have been ruthlessly dealt with in recent days.
02:51The only issue is that they have refused to acknowledge the Biafran government, Baji.
02:56We are not the Aipop organization but the government of the indigenous people of Biafra.
03:02We will keep hitting them hard till 2nd of December and beyond if they don't leave Biafra.
03:08Their Nigerian terrorist Nigerian Army, not only Adewale, you will all be captured for the crime against humanity in Biafra land.
03:18You have committed genocide against Biafra people and now our Biafra Liberation Army is marching up with action.
03:25Adewale was released so you can write what you just wrote.
03:29This is the beginning. You must withdraw your terrorists from Biafra land.
03:34Please, report about the last two days fight.
03:38How many of your terrorists are littered in hospital, Simon Epa stated.
03:43We have reported that Biafra secessionist armed group known as Biafra Liberation Army has released a video showing the group has set free a Nigerian soldier who was earlier captured.
03:55The victim, who identified himself as Corporal Toriola Adewale while speaking in the video thanked the Biafra fighters for giving him a second chance to life.
04:05The released soldier who has some bruises on his face, could be held saying that the detained leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Aipop, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should be released from detention and his
04:19colleagues in the southeast states should relocate to their various states of origin.
04:25A voice of one of the Biafra fighters could be heard on the background that the captured Nigerian soldier will be set free on one condition.
04:33That he should no longer step his foot on Biafra land until the declaration of Biafra Republic is achieved.
04:40According to the information released by the Prime Minister of Biafra government in exile, Simon Epa, Adewale will be given a second chance to return back to his family.
04:52The Nigerian soldier who looked ruffled and dirty with injuries on his face, said he was treated well by the Biafra fighters.
05:00Simon Epa in a tweet on Sunday, said, This is our gift to the Yoruba nation.
05:06Corporal Adewale was captured by the Biafra Liberation Army.
05:10He will be freed today to join his family as a gift to Yoruba people.
05:16We call on Yorubas to recall all their servicemen serving Nigeria within Biafra land and killing our people in Biafra land.
05:24This will never repeat itself again.
05:27The highest command of the Biafra Defence Forces has ordered his release as a strong message to the Nigeria Terrorist State and Terrorist Nigerian Army.
05:36He will be given transportation fare to enable him return to his family.
05:41Those of you still killing our people in Biafra land, you may not be this lucky, Simon Epa stated.
05:48Meanwhile, the Biafra government in exile has explained how the Biafra Liberation Agitators have captured an unknown state actor to save the lives and properties of Biafrans in their land.
06:01The group in a statement made known to the public via the group's official ex-hando noted that they were able to prevent the actors from doing more harm to their people by repelling rampaging security personnel.
06:14According to the group, the action was to send a strong message to those working to prevent actualization of Biafra liberation to come through.
06:23The group also noted that security agents, be it state or non-state actors commissioned to kill and cause mayhem on Biafran soil should steer clear of the region to avoid unwanted confrontations.
06:36The group also reiterates its call for all southern regions to be demilitarized for peace to reign.
06:43The group also noted that the captured Nigerian military personnel was sent free to join his family as a gift to his people, and also to demonstrate that the group is for peace.
06:54The group said that Nigeria armed forces have rendered the southeast unproductive through undue hounding and killings of innocent people, in the name of fighting inexplicable war.
07:05The group maintained its stance towards actualization of its liberation scheduled by its leadership on December 2, 2024, advising troublemakers within southeast region to beware.
