Leader of the Niger Delta People’s
Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujaheed
Dokubo-Asari, on Wednesday
distanced himself from the $9.3
million botched arms deal in South
Africa, saying he had not been to the country since 2002. His denial came on the heels of a call
by the All Progressive congress that
the Federal Government should
explain Asari’s involvement in the
botched deal. But reacting to the APC’s statement,
Asari in a telephone interview with
journalists from Saudi Arabia where he
is presently performing the 2014 Hajj,
said the last time he visited South
Africa was in the 2002 and could not have gone to any country without a
visa. He said, “Can you enter any country
without a visa? No person can enter
any country without a visa. Presently, I
am in Saudi Arabia performing my Hajj
as the Amirul Hajj of Bayelsa State and
this can be confirmed. I flew Flynass from Kaduna on the 27th. So, it is
really a shame that Lai Mohammed
who has defiled the name of Allah has
become a pathological and award-
winning liar. “Nobody enters any country without a
visa and I have not been to South
Africa since 2002. My passport is
present. I flew Arik airline from Lagos
on the 27th and went to Kaduna
where I flew Flynass airline and came to Saudi Arabia. “APC has reduced itself to a party of
liars just the same way their
presidential candidate, notorious liar
and confirmed dictator, General
Buhari, stage managed an
assassination in order to gain cheap popularity and where more than 100
people were killed and he has not
been put on trial. The evil they wish
me will be visited on their home.”
