00:00Antony Arden aka Tony Kabaka one of the most prominent youths leaders in Nigeria believed to have thousands of youths very loyal to him, during the week, came out with a video press release to confirm before the general public that he was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over petitions and allegations of Naira abuse, stating that, he honored the invitation because, nobody is above the law, but,
00:27he decided to issue the video press release because of Albert Abesi, a loyalist of the immediate past Edo state governor, Godwin Obeseke, who, he accused of always insulting him and trying to spoil his name on social media, thus, he issued a threat message to pluck off his teeth and break his bones with his own bare hands.
00:48Any time Albert Abesi who is currently living in London comes to Nigeria, adding that, since, his parents cannot call him to order, and if Albert Abesi ever insults him on social media platforms again, his parents' home will be visited and the parents will start feeling the heat.
01:06Although, in less than 24 hours after issuing the statement, Tony Kabaka issued another video press release at night, apologizing to the parents of Albert Abesi and withdrew his apparent threat messages earlier issued against them, but hours after issuing the apology message on Tuesday,
01:24On Wednesday, on Wednesday, Albert Abesi cried out on social media, raised an alarm that his own house situated at a Magba area in Benin City has been attacked and properties destroyed by people he suspected to be Tony Kabaka and his boys.
01:39Emphasizing that nobody is above the law in the first video he issued, Tony Kabaka said he went to EFCC officers invited and his lawyer took him on bail, saying,
01:51he wonders why Albert Abesi is going about on social media platforms giving all manners of narratives as if he has done something wrong to honor EFCC invitation.
02:00Tony Kabaka also accused Albert Abesi of being the alleged instigator that went about and started reposting the videos of him spraying money at three different ceremonies which he said made EFCC to invite him.
02:14According to Tony Kabaka, the videos of the alleged abuse of Naira notes were events that were held long ago, a period he said,
02:22he never knew the government was really serious about the CBN Act of Naira abuse.
02:27Stressing that, the videos and the events were recorded and held long ago before his close associate and co-official colleague in the Edo state government,
02:37Kelly Akumbo aka Ebo Stone allegedly violated the Naira abuse laws, which, he was also invited by the EFCC.
02:46While apologizing to Albert Abesi parents over his comments and apparent threat,
02:51Tony Kabaka listed many wrongs the London-based Albert Abesi has allegedly committed against him,
02:56which include, allegedly instigating the then-governor Godwin Obaseki to demolish his hotel,
03:03the Te Latifah Hotel and Suites that was demolished in 2020 by the former governor on the ground that the hotel was built on government primary school land
03:11even when an high court had issued a restraining order in 2019, ordering the then-governor Obaseki to stop the demolition plan.
03:19The high court later ruled against the Edo state government and ordered the government to rebuild the hotel and
03:26hands it over to the owner, Tony Kabaka.
03:29Although the Edo state government appealed against the high court ruling, but few months ago,
03:34the appeal court also ruled and affirmed the decision of the lower high court.
03:39Continuing, Tony Kabaka who was the chairman of Akube Ventures,
03:43a revenue collecting agency who were in charge of revenue collections during the time of Senator Adams Oshio-Molee as Edo state governor,
03:51also accused Albert Abesi of being the one that went publicly to tell the world that he celebrated having 2 billion nairas as his own savings.
04:01Tony Kabaka added that,
04:02Since Albert Abesi allegedly told the whole world that he celebrated having 2 billion nairas of his own,
04:09he knows what he has been facing and the issues the alleged statement has caused him.
04:14Reacting,
04:15Albert Abesi said he has done nothing wrong by alerting the public that Tony Kabaka has been arrested
04:20and that shouldn't warrant him to start threatening him and his parents.
04:25Albert Abesi who appeared furious over the apparent message issued against his parents by Tony Kabaka,
04:30insulted the youth's leader specifically with the word,
04:34Walker,
04:35saying,
04:36This is the first time he's insulting Tony Kabaka because the Edo state government revenue enforcement consultant,
04:42Tony Kabaka insulted his parents.
04:45Albert Abesi went further to make more allegations against Tony Kabaka and his close associates in the Edo state government over revenue collections.
04:54Albert Abesi alleged that Tony Kabaka and one of his associates in the employment of Edo state government
05:00in charge of revenue matters are using their personal bank accounts to collect revenue from taxpayers in the state.
05:07Adding that the alleged diversion of government revenues into the personal accounts is the source,
05:12through which,
05:14Tony Kabaka allegedly gets money he sprays and allegedly abuses at ceremonies.
05:19Albert Abesi went further to show an apparent video evidence of a payment receipt of 300,000 nairas
05:25allegedly paid into the personal account of one of the said associates of Tony Kabaka.
05:31Dismissing the insinuations that he was the one that planned and attacked his own house at Amagba,
05:36Albert Abesi said,
05:38A lot of people saw Tony Kabaka at the Amagba area on Wednesday before his house was attacked.
05:44Albert Abesi added that it was one right that took Tony Kabaka and his boys to show,
05:49attack and destroy his house.
05:51As of the time of filing in this news report on Thursday afternoon,
05:56the Edo state police command of the Nigeria police force is yet to react over the incident.
06:01He sent me dead detention.
06:04Normally,
06:05I want to say,
06:05I want to say something to you.
06:08Is it bad?
06:10If you are invited by AMCC,
06:11I'm not above the law.
06:13I'm not above the law.
06:15AMCC invited me.
06:17I went there.
06:19They asked me question about this video.
06:22A video that concerns Mary B. marriage.
06:26So that is the video that was,
06:28that they were,
06:28the Abba started training.
06:30And the one of,
06:31about my own leader.
06:33And I met Father Beria.
06:35Tilly video.
06:36I went there to defend it.
06:38I went there.
06:39Really,
06:40that video is long
06:41before A. Boston was arrested.
06:45When a Boston was arrested,
06:47at this season,
06:48everybody changed the marriage team for spring money.
06:51You understand?
06:52Because we now know that this law is very serious.
06:55So for you,
06:56Abba,
06:57to come and be bringing,
06:59you are not the one telling ESCC what to do.

07:13I went there for questioning.
07:15After the,
07:15after everything,
07:17my lawyer took me on the way.
