Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has declared that he has no confidence in the amnesty being offered by the Federal Government to Niger Delta militants to give up arms.
Asari who is the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF) spoke to journalists at a press conference in Lagos yesterday shortly after he was released by the State Security Service (SSS) operatives.
He was arrested on his arrival from Germany where he went for medical check-up, his lawyer Festus Keyamo has said.
The press briefing which took place in Keyamos’s chambers at Anthony village Village had Keyamo in attendance and other members of Asari’s group.
Asari said: “I cannot receive amnesty from anybody for carrying guns to protect my fatherland. My land is occupied and destroyed by a ravaging occupational force with genocide mindset” he said.
According to him, the so called list of sponsors’ found in the camps is fake. “Buildings were destroyed but pieces of papers were not burnt. You can see the lie” he said adding “they want to use so-called list to witch hunt some people.
“They have failed. I was in camp five with General Gubani, the man who wrote the report. He even held me aside and we discussed. The vice president has been there. Almost all the governors of Bayelsa and Delta have been there. So they are sponsors too. All key politicians in Delta and Bayelsa states have been in TomPollo’s camp so they are sponsors?”
He said, the only thing the Niger Delta people want is a sovereign national conference. “One day we will come to the realisation like South Africans did during the apartheid that this edifice of fraud and deceit called Nigeria cannot hold except with a sovereign national conference” adding “sovereign national conference is our minimum demand, nobody wants to die.”
On bunkering he declared “I don’t know what you call illicit oil trading. The owner of the oil owns it and he has the right to sell it just like plantain farmers”.
“I don’t believe in anything bunkering. Anybody in the Niger Delta Community who has the power and access to oil, I will support him to take it as long as the environment is not affected, I will support it with my life.” “What right has Tinubu, Dangote or Otedola has to our oil that they are given concessions to sell oil? If I have my way, I will also take.”

The fake militants ie 'criminals' are the ones rushing to accept this amnesty. . . . the real freedom fighters will reject the amnesty because it comes with no promises for their people. . .

@ Ibime For how long will you allow yourself to be fooled? Calling Asari a freedom figther shows you are less informed about this criminal. Who cares if he accepts amnesty or not? I pray he sticks to his words until the grace period is over. Na only God go save am from bombing. Nonsense! |

Tell us what you know about Asari's escapades in the region so he can learn and we can know what you know. I mean from the genesis i.e. Asari's first involvement in IYC. |

Asari is well known from back in his IYC days in the mid-90's. . . .and even back in his university days. . . . Asari does not play when it comes to the struggle. . . .

AMNESTY? Below are two definitions I got from onlinedictionary.com amnesty: a warrant granting release from punishment for an offense. amnesty: a period during which offenders are exempt from punishment. Both definitions involve OFFENDERS and OFFENCE. My questions 1). Who is the offender? The youth carrying arms in search of justice OR the politician stealing what belong to the youth. 2). What is the offence? Defending your heritage OR repressing oppression and pilferage. Though some of the youths are die-hard criminals, I don't think Yar'Adua has any moral right to grant anyone amnesty. Yar'Adua's government should look into what led to the arms struggle. He should look for a way to address the wrongs meted out to these people. He should find out how these boys get their weapons. If the boys refuse the amnesty offer, would that be the end of d development of the Niger Delta? I'm confused. Nigeria's problems is almost affecting my thinking. Hope I'm thinking right?   |

heheheheh whats happening on October 4? i'll quit armed robbery and assasination soon but watch it so i wont use you as my retirement gift The amnesty proposed to the likes of you will cease to take effect on 4th oct and anybody caught with even an "Awka" made hand gun will be shown the way to abyss. Hence why I advised you as a fellow Nairalander to give up robbery.  On the other hand, you might save yourself some energy by giving yourself the retirement gift intended for me. No need to go all the way to PH to constitute nuisance there, instead locate the position of your brains, point your "awka made" towards that location and pull the large pin with your finger. I promise you will find peace all of a sudden. |

The money nor reach.
Can you imagine somebody that says he's a business man, he hears that government want to share money to militants and now he is putting himself among those whom the amnesty is meant for. Has he not been released from detention? Has he not been freed? Wetin concern am with amnesty again?
If he wants amnesty, he has to carry arms back to the creeks in order to re-criminalise himself.
Now you tell me that the the politician is more corrupt than the militant. No politician will class himself publicly with criminals just because of money. Imagine a political militant. If It's more people like this that are fighting in the creeks, then people of the Niger-Delta, we're finished.
