Tempers rose on Thursday among youths and groups in the Niger Delta region over the arrest and detention of the former militant leader, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari by the Beniniose gendarmes.
The aggrieved youths threatened to attack Beniniose residing in Nigeria if the Government of Benin Republic failed to release the former creek warlords unconditionally.
Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative (IPDI), National Association of Izon-Ebe Law Students (NAILS) and the Committee of Rural Development Movement (CRDM) spoke on Thursday.
They condemned the development and claimed that it was politically motivated.
An activist and National President of IPDI, Mr. Ozobo Austin, decried the arrest and accused security operatives from Benin Republic of lacking evidence to justify their action.
He alleged that Dokubo-Asari was a victim of political conspiracy, adding that there would be breakdown of law and order in the Niger Delta region if Benin failed to set him free.
He said genuine agitators fighting for the total liberation of the region would not be cowed by intimidation.
He said: “Dokubo-Asari is innocent of whatever motive behind his arrest and as such he should be immediately released to avoid breakdown of law and order in the Niger Delta region.
“Asari’s arrest was orchestrated by enemies of Niger Delta and such is a big threat to the peace as it will lead to chaos and insurgency in the region.”
Also the National President, CRDM, Mr. Asaiyei Enaibo, described the arrest as unconstitutional. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
