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.

Hmmm how the mighty are falling.....
Asari in hot soup, stealing Niger money to build schools,houses,mosques and academy in RB, a day of reckoning is here.
