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.

This is the difference between practising medicine abroad and practising in Nigeria cos here there's no sugar coating, we tell it as it is.

It's a heart breaking news to being to the patient's family and we feel sad about it too. But hey! It is what it is and someone got to do the job.

In what may sound like a
retraction of his earlier declaration
that he would only extend
invitations to U-17 players after
they would have graduated
through the ranks, Super Eagles
coach Stephen Keshi has said that
he intends to call up a few of the
U17 World Cup winning players to
the Super Eagles in preparation for
next year’s CHAN tournament.
There have been widespread calls
within Nigeria that members of the
U-17world cup winning team be
drafted into the Super Eagles
ahead of the world cup.
In an exclusive interview with
supersport.com at the Hilton
Cobham hotel where the Nigerian
team based following the friendly
with Italy, coach Stephen Keshi
has been speaking on a variety of
issues including the availability of
the Eaglets.
“I watched them during their
tournament and I did mention that
I liked a few of the players and of
course I will like to take a closer
look at them. So the plan is to
invite them to the training
programme for next year’s CHAN
and monitor them”.
The Afcon winning coach is
careful to temper the expectations
of the public with regards to these
players.
“People need to understand that
even though they won their
tournament, it does not mean they
are ready to play for the senior
teams immediately. Like I keep
saying, I am on the lookout for
those players that will improve the
present squad so these U-17 boys
will get the first crack at it. I will
be pleased if one or two step up
their game and make it”
It will be recalled that 20 years
ago, as Nigeria prepared for a first
world cup appearance, then head
coach Clemens Westerhof gave
caps to the then U-17 world cup
winners Karibe Ojigwe and Kanu
Nwankwo in friendlies but they did
not make the final squad to the
USA based tournament of 1994.

Algerian authorities have said 12
people died and more than 200
were injured in celebrations after
the country's football team
qualified for next year's World
Cup in Brazil.
Five fans were killed when their
van slid off a road east of Algiers,
four died in a car accident in
Biskra and three people died in
other towns.
Residents described reckless
behaviour during celebrations
though the night.
The Desert Foxes beat Burkina
Faso 1-0
on Tuesday in Blida to qualify.
The aggregate score was 3-3 over
the two-legged tie but Algeria
went though on the away goals
rule.
