Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called for the arrest of former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo.

HURIWA believes that Asari has done enough to deserve prosecution by the authorities or, at the very least, an open investigation to determine the legality of his actions.

The rights group noted that during Asari’s visit to President Bola Tinubu after he won the 2023 presidential election, he gave a sensational interview admitting to running a private army.

DAILY POST reports that during the interview, Dokubo claimed that he undertook assignments for the Federal Government to combat terrorists in the North and carried out operations in the South-East.

Hence, in a statement signed by its national coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA questioned how a private individual could be allowed to operate a private army, which is unconstitutional in Nigeria.

The rights association urged the government to investigate the allegations “that some of the killings in the South-East during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari were carried out by Dokubo’s so-called private army”.

HURIWA said it was “particularly concerned about the video footage showing Dokubo brandishing sophisticated military-grade weapons, which no private individual in Nigeria is legally permitted to possess”.

“Despite these serious allegations, there has been no action taken by the Army, the Department of State Services (DSS), or any other security outfit,” it added.

HURIWA said it was alarmed that the Army and the Police “continue to parade individuals purportedly arrested as IPOB members, yet there has been no transparent disclosure regarding how many of these individuals have been successfully prosecuted”.

The rights group demanded answers “on how many of those arrested have been tried, convicted, or are still in detention. Moreover, HURIWA questioned whether there is any substantial proof linking the mainstream IPOB loyal to Nnamdi Kanu, who has been detained for an extended period, to the killings”.

HURIWA reiterated its belief that Nnamdi Kanu’s detention is illegal, arguing that the government has failed to provide any evidence linking him to the violence in the South-East.

HURIWA reiterated its belief that Nnamdi Kanu’s detention is illegal, arguing that the government has failed to provide any evidence linking him to the violence in the South-East.

The group drew a parallel between Kanu’s case and that of a Miyetti Allah leader who was arrested and later released by the government, despite facing charges in court.

“The Federal Government’s sudden withdrawal of charges and release of the Miyetti Allah leader raises questions about the selective application of justice,” it added.

The association called for an independent and transparent investigation into the killings in the South-East to ascertain the true identities of the perpetrators.

HURIWA also demanded the immediate release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Before they demanded for his arrest, I want to believe that a pig jail has been built or constructed? Because a pig cannot share a jail with humans, it will be so detrimental to human health.

So basically, national coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko who also happens to be Nnamdi Kanu's kinsman is asking for Asari Dokubo to be locked up, while Nnamdi Kanu, the terrorist that called for killing of soldiers, stealing their guns, and for sit at home with it's violence to be released. 🤡

I support the call for Asari's arrest or investigation also HURIWA should call for investigation against those behind unknown gunmen in southeastern region.

Goodday90:
Amaka is greater and more respected than the Ooni of ife,the Alafin of Oyo and the oba of Lagos
Amaka is continuing the flogging from where Dahomey women stopped

MossadAgent:
No useless red cap chief in that your entire yeast can tie the shoe lace of the Ooni or oba of Lagos.


Philistine swine of no culture nor heritage.

MossadAgent:
Arrest Asari for what ?

PMCs are legitimate contractors.

Goodluck employed SA PMCs.

So what is wrong if Buhari had engaged local PMCs to take out the Zio hazard in Nigeria ?

Ojiofor:
Is PNCs above investigation?
Even military is subjected to investigation talkless private security company.

MossadAgent:
You should be celebrating Asari for taken out the Zio hazard in the form Kanu's Penal brigade of fugitives of the law .

Since his contract got axxed, you are now left with criminals and fugitives of the law running feral in your land.

A sensible person would call Asari to help take out the Zio garbage but being you don't like peace and prefer your Hobessian state of existence , sense will never make you honour Asari.

Go and touch him and see what will happen.

Ojiofor:
Asari army should be sent to Southwest to battles Fulani bandits that are sending Yoruba villagers to Benin Republic.

MossadAgent:
Asari's PMC are on ground in the SS to check any Zio hazard from your condemned yeast who has any plan of extending their madness into the SS.


His new contract is to checkmate any attempt by your Zio hazards in stepping foot on the SS.

We never even draft Government Tompolo enter , you don dey shake
