A former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, has demanded the immediate arrest of some former Niger Delta militants for threatening to plunge the country into war if President Goodluck Jonathan is not re-elected in the February 14 election.
He stated this on Wednesday in Kano during the commissioning of the multibillion naira Kwakwasiya city, one of the three mega cities built by the administration of Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari; Victor Ben Ebikabowei, aka, Boy Loaf; Government Ekpudomenowei, aka, Tompolo; and other militants had last Saturday vowed to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan, wins the February presidential election.
The former militant leaders and their followers, who spoke at a meeting in Government House, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, threaten to unleash violence on the country and take back Niger Delta oil should the president lose the election.
They also said any attempt to dethrone Mr. Jonathan would be seen as a direct attack on the Ijaw nation.
Neither the Federal Government nor the president, who is also Ijaw as the militant leaders, has so far reacted to the threat.
Describing the statements as “reckless,” Mr. Danjuma, a retired army general and former Chief of Army Staff, who fought in the Nigerian civil war, said the threat by the militants were not only against national unity but also capable of plunging the country into war.
He asked the security agencies and the government to immediately arrest them.
“You should arrest Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boylop and other Niger Delta militants for making reckless statements, which in any way does not mean keeping Nigeria as one entity and creating war situation,” he said.

I promise to vote GEJ if this is done.

it is only in Nigeria individual is greater than the state. immediately after feb14 Asari Tokubo or dokubo will disappear with his people and live Goodluck Here in Nigeria to face trial.

Even me too...

Danjuma is a big time Boko suspect.

Danjuma should go and take several seats. He's one of the problems in Nigeria. On what basis does he own oil blocs?

Why Danjuma no go talk, when they are talking about Oil, former soldiers seeing the Niger Delta resources as spoils of war for themselves.

They accuse me of everything but they never accuse me of Corruption...GMB
Vote General Muhammadu Buhari
Change is coming..

Did he call for the arrest of his Northern brethren when they vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ?

this is the question i'm still asking but no answer yet. He should go and arrest buhari first for forging his result. Then i will know that he is serious.

i think so.

The senile old thief should go and arrest them na. I'm sure he is motivated by concerns over his illicit oil wealth and nothing more.

A worse fate awaits him than what he and his Northern gang did to Aguiyi Ironsi.

This is the advantage of having a former military man as president. Cluelessness is minimized. Every time Jonathan permits these idiots to misbehave he is dragging his already weak presidency into further ridicule. These guys don't respect his office and because of that northerners wont. Anyway, who am I advising, Jonathan government?.

Danjuma deserves to be shot for all the atrocities he committed against Nigeria in his miserable lifetime

because he said the bitter truth?
Nawao!!

Frankly, you are the one exuding "cleulessness" here... What really do you want Jonathan to do? Arbitrarily arrest these guys? is this no longer a democracy? why should he stop them from talking? Is there no more freedom of expression in this democracy? have you stopped Gani Adams and Fasehun from talking? Have they stopped Shekau, Yakassai and other northern fringe elements from delivering their usual uncouth outbursts? If Asari commits a crime and is not arrested, then you have a case. But castigatng Jonathan for not acting God by striking him dumb to me shows that you, Adminisher is actually more clueless than you will ever know.

I hear you.

The fear of losing oil blocks is creeping in ...jitters everywhere

[size=15pt]Oga Danjuma,
I don't know if you have taken note that the citizens of Niger Delta are now desirous to control their own resources.

If you and other northerners give up the oil wells that you have stolen from this region,I'm neither Asari nor any Niger Deltan will bother you who rules your weird Nigeria.[/size]

Now that Clarke has warned Danjuma too, he better shut up!
