Asari-dokubo Arrested In Benin Republic by Willgates(m): 12:37am On Nov 27, 2013 |
The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, was today arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic. A statement by his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, said Dokubo was picked up by the police between 1:00pm and 2:00pm around the Lubeleyi roundabout, and taken to an unknown destination. The wealthy former militant reportedly opened a private university in the Benin Republic, the King Amachree African University that is preparing to start degree- awarding programmes in 2014. “We want to emphasise that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now,” Keyamo said in his statement. “In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country. All these places have been searched as at this evening and nothing incriminating was found.” He suggested that Dokubo’s arrest and detention may be a ploy by “certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government” to keep his client away as 2015 approaches. “We call on the Nigerian government to immediately intervene and ensure that no harm befalls Alhaji Dokubo- Asari and to use all diplomatic means to secure his immediate release and safe return to Nigeria,” he said. Dokubo has in recent times vowed that unless Mr. President Jonathan retains the presidency in 2015, Nigeria would break up. http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/asari-dokubo-arrested-benin-republic |

Asari Dokubo said he is not a Nigerian so why is his Lawyer calling on Nigerian government to use every diplomatic means to release him... As for the claim that some persons want keep him away as 2015 approaches i think that is a silly thing to say, who is Asari in Nigerian politics? 1 Like |
