The State Security Service has released the leader of the Niger Delta
Peoples Volunteer Force, Alhaji Muhajid Dokubo-Asari, after quizzing him for
six hours on Thursday.
Asari, who arrived at the SSS headquarters in Abuja at 9.45am on
Thursday was quizzed and released around 4pm.
The former warlord was said to have been cautioned against making
provocative and inflammatory statements before he was allowed to go home.
Dressed in a striped blue and white short-sleeved attire, Asari was
accompanied by a lawyer from Festus Keyamo Chambers, a former chairman of Asari
Toru Council of River State, Chief Aroloyeteim Brown, some chiefs from the
Niger Delta and some members of the NDPVF.
Asari was allowed into the security agency’s premises with his lawyer
and Brown.
The ex-militant was invited by the SSS following his alleged
inflammatory statements in connection to the 2015 elections, in which he
stressed in unequivocal terms that there would be bloodshed, if President
Goodluck Jonathan was not re-elected.
Asari, who spoke to journalists briefly before entering the SSS
premises, said he was not afraid of being detained by the agency.
He said, “I’m here to honour the SSS invitation, I don’t know if it is
an arrest. I’m not afraid of arrest, and have never been. Arrest is part of the
dividend of the struggle. I have been arrested 73 times, today’s (Thursday’s)
arrest will be making it the 74th time.
“I am going into the SSS headquarters with my prayer mat, my Koran, tisbih,
toilet bag, which contains my toothpaste and toothbrush. I’m also here with my
drugs. I am fully prepared, if the SSS decides to arrest me, I’m ready to stay.
Recounting his experience shortly after his release, Asari described his
interaction as a routine question and answer session.
“It was a routine question and answer session on my interviews; I gave
them my opinion and reason. I told them that it is wrong for some people to be
treated as if they are above the law, as if they have the right to threaten
others, make inciting comments and continue to intimidate people, and get away
with it,” he said
Well, let us wait,watch and see what will be the end of thes blood thirsty people at end of the day. I want to say that Gen. Buhari. El-Rufai, Tinubu,Dokubo- Asari,Bisi Akande have the same mindset and approach in handing issues. All of them belong to the same class and found to be experts in making inciting,provocative and inflamatary statements always. They are all " elited/ corporate thugs" Their acts can only be tolerated in country like Nigeria where some citizen are above the law of the land. They are all untouchable but one day officers like Rawling will take care of these power drunk and money bags. Nigerian youths will jubilate at the end.
ReplyDeleteGood talk.
ReplyDeleteLam ode and his partisan EFCC should investigate Asari and let him tell us how he made the money to establish the univerties in the Republic of Benin. He and Tompolo are the principal mastermind in the stealing of our petroleum.
