Obasanjo’s Letter: I’m Not Training Snipers, Says Asari-Dokubo by ceo4eva: 1:59am On Dec 31, 2013
Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo’s allegation that President
Goodluck Jonathan is training
snipers keeps generating the heat.
Although, Obasanjo did not name
anybody, the founder of the militant
Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force
(NDPV), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-
Dokubo, thinks he is the one the
former president was referring to.
Asari-Dokubo was recently detained
in the Republic of Benin.
He said yesterday that he was not
training snipers either in Nigeria or
abroad for the presidency.
He said although Obasanjo should be
bold enough to indict him for a
response.
Asari-Dokubo said he was neither
flown in a private jet nor in a
presidential jet after being
investigated by security agencies in
Benin Republic.
He said he flew to Abuja from Lagos
in an Aero Contractors plane.
He said the last time he enjoyed the
luxury of a presidential jet was when
Obasanjo sent one to fly him from the
creeks as part of the search for
solutions to the crisis in the Niger
Delta.
He admitted that he had a problem in
Benin Republic following what he
called a false security alarm and the
Federal Government waded in.
Asari-Dokubo, who spoke exclusively
with our correspondent, said he was
only suspected of being a Boko
Haram leader in Benin Republic and
after investigations by Beninoise
authorities, he was let off.
He said: “I don’t know what is called
snipers; I will revisit my dictionary for
the meaning of snipers.
“I am not training snipers for either
the Presidency or anybody. If ex-
President Olusegun Obasanjo wants
to point a finger at me, I will know the
path to take or the relevant
authorities to contact.
“I have not seen my name mentioned
directly by anybody, but I know what
to do if this is so.
“If I am being invited by security
agencies on issues that have to do
with denting my image, I know what
to do.”
Asked why he was arrested, Asari-
Dokubo said: “Information reached
Beninoise security agencies that I
was a Boko Haram leader. And from
all investigations, they said they did
not find any clue linking me with
Boko Haram.
“Some people gave Benin Republic
false information to see that Dokubo
dies before the 2015 general election.
So, we are in a political era and from
all investigations, my encounter in
Benin Republic had to do with
politics.”
On how he returned to his base in
Abuja from Benin Republic, Asari-
Dokubo said: “I came in through Aero
Contractors plane from Lagos to
Abuja. Many people were on board
and they saw me.
“I was not flown into the country
either in a private or presidential jet
at all.
“I had problem in Benin Republic and
the government waded in the matter
because nothing incriminating was
found against me.”
Responding to a question, the founder
of the NDPV said: “If I was nobody,
why did ex-President Obasanjo send
a private jet to convey me to Abuja
from Port Harcourt to negotiate for
militants? ”
