One time Niger Delta activist, Mujahideen Asari-Dokubo was yesterday arrested for making inciting comments about the 2015 elections by the Department of State Service (DSS).
The ex-militant, Asari-Dokubo in 2013 had threatened fire and brimstone if President Goodluck Jonathan does not return as president in 2015.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) had demanded that Department of State Servic (DSS) arrest Mujahedeen Asari-Dokubo and described as reckless, irresponsible and totally condemnable the alleged threat by Mujahedeen Asari-Dokubo to levy war against Nigeria even if President Goodluck Jonathan is defeated even in a free and fair election in 2015.
”There is no better test of the fairness, non-partisanship and professionalism of the SSS than this Asari-Dokubo’s threat to levy war on his own country. If Asari-Dokubo is not above the laws of the land, he must be hauled before the SSS, just like the service did to our Deputy National Secretary, to explain his statement,” APC said.
Speaking on a Channel’s TV programme, Politics Today, he said “2015 is already a settled matter; Goodluck Jonathan will be president in 2015. Whether they contest or they don’t contest, Goodluck Jonathan will be president,” he said adding that he would be ready for violence if needed.
Replying to comments made by former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, he warned that that “if they say the blood of the dogs and the baboon will be soaked in water on the street, in blood on the street, in salt water on the street, we will help them soak them in blood”.
The former Head of State was reported to have said that “If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood,” in May of 2012.
Buhari spoke in Hausa while addressing members of the CPC from Niger State, who paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna. He also warned that 2015 would be bloody if the elections were not transparent, just as he dismissed reports that he would not contest the 2015 presidency.
Buhari who painted a gory picture of Nigeria as that of a hound and a monkey engaged in a battle for survival said, “God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way”
The Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the SSS, who spoke with our correspondent, said: “We have said it that we will not condone reckless statements which are capable of plunging this nation into crisis.
“We will ensure that the law takes its course on whoever makes such comments. This is why we invited Asari-Dokubo. Nobody is too big or small to be quizzed by this commission.”
The comments which landed Dokubo in SSS net are as follows: “If it is war, the North wants, we are ready for them because Jonathan must complete the mandatory constitutionally-allowable two terms of eight years. At home, we have regrouped and we have put our people at alert.
“In less than one hour, the way we would strike, the world will be shocked. If anybody does anything against Jonathan, we will retaliate. What we will do will shock the whole world. We will cripple the economy of the country not only in the creeks, but also on the nation’s territorial waters, no vessel will be allowed to enter Nigeria’s territorial waters.
“Let them not try anything. If they abuse Jonathan, there is no problem, he is their President but anything that will affect the interest of the Ijaw people and the interest of the entire people of the Niger Delta will be resisted at any cost.”
“Let them go and sleep in their houses. If they don’t, they are looking for trouble and we are going to give it to them. It will make better sense if APC picks its presidential candidate from the South- South. With that, there will be no battle for us to fight and it will make it easier for us. Whichever way it goes, it will enable us to continue our right of uninterrupted rule of eight years, which is the minimum constitutional requirement.
“They cannot take that from the South-South and we will not accept it because every part of the country must have equal access to the various institutions of government, especially at the federal level.”
Meanwhile, earlier on his arrival at DSS office, Asari who was accompanied by his kinsmen said he was prepared to answer any kind of question that may be posed to him.
“I’m here to honour DSS invitation, I don’t know if it is 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 arrest will be making it the 74th time.
”I’m going into DSS headquarters with my prayer mat, my Koran, tisbih, toilet bag, which contains my toothpaste, toothbrush.
“I’m also here with my drugs. I am fully prepared, if the DSS decides to arrest me, I’m ready to stay,” Asari said.
Asari was however released yesterday evening.

ReplyDeleteanybody that makes inciting statement should be arrested. whether obasanjo, asari, buhari, elrufia, and whoever. they want war on the land for innocent massed but their family will never come out to fight. learn from responsible leaders like babangida and abdusalam.
ReplyDeletehe who call for war is incuring the wrath of God. such people must be destroyed either now or 6 ft is awaing them before the age of 90 at most.
When Buhari made his was he apprehended?
DeleteOK are we now going to arrest the northern agitating rulers that have stated their commitment to making Nigeria ungovernable? Asari is not as highly placed as those norther leaders so oya na
ReplyDeleteIt not enough to arrest him. We are waiting for judgement on his comments. I mean SSS should not keep a thug at presidential villa and give us impression of arrest. We are not fools
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people should bother themselves with this armed robber, kidnapper, oil thief and a drop out for that matter, if not for his drunked brother, he would by know be drinking sapele water along the creeks.
ReplyDeleteMr Anonymous,
DeleteWhen Buhari who is highly placed talked of blood on the street nobody arrested him ElRufai was invited just as Asari has been invited so there is no talk of armed robber, kidnapper The creek you mention is where the Nation' wealth comes from. The drunked brother you are referring to will still rule you come 2015 except he decides otherwise. Everybody has a right to contest so be it

When Buhari wept some years back, u guys said it was crocodile tears. He wept because he could see where we are heading to. Look at where we are right now. Could any of u have ever imagined suicide bombing on our land? He has mentioned blood on the street to once again tell us how d people will react because except u are not a Nigerian u should know that people are getting tired of the cheating. Not that he is going to make sure there is blood flowing, he does not need to do that. He is too patriotic for that.
DeleteFebruary 6, 2014 at 6:28 PM, you are a very stupid person by comment this.fool, northern think that we are a fools in Nigeria,.

Maybe if we stopped only relying on Niger delta oil and get our lazy assess to be self sufficient then we will not be getting such threats and insults. We cannot continue to suck the lifeline of a region and not expect them to challenge us. Go and also arrest the northerners who produce nothing yet expect to rule and chop pass all

I beg NigeriaEye nak us a better story,this is just 1 of their usuall ways of diverting attentions. They could be so deceitfull,am pretty sure in no longer time from now Bros Asari will come with even a bigger threat than before. Arrest or no arrest,the two “THOOTLESS DOGS“ and their watch and hunting dogs are never and can never be a “MENACE“ to us. So,“OGA AT THE TOP“ forget that formalities and deception of yours. The “FOOOOOLS“ feels they are smarts bcos the believe we are weak!
ReplyDeletein my own humble opinion, they are going to make us feel that this guy is really arrested, but this is just another of their politics, we ain't fools, only the gullible will believe this crap, that guy is somewhere dining with the powers that be!
ReplyDeleteDokubo or whatever his name is was just invited by the DSS or SSS just to deceive Nigerians by the presidency. Who is he to make such threat?. A common criminal now living free in abuja all because a drunkard kinsman is in power. PDP and GEJ put 2gether can never win a free and fair election.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth will a certain geopolitical zone feel dis country is for them.. They feed fat, stash our money in foreign accounts nd gt married to new wives while we in d niger delta live in penury..
