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.

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?
