DSS Arrests Asari Dokubo

News

The President of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has been arrested for repeatedly making inciting comments, by the Department of State Security, DSS. 

Mr. Dokubo-Asari was Thursday summoned to the DSS headquarters in Abuja, where he is being interrogated for comments believed to be capable of breaching the fragile peace the country currently enjoys. 

The spokesperson of the DSS, Marilyn Ogar, was not available for comments. She did not answer or return calls. But Mr. Dokubo-Asari younger brother, Rex Asari, who also doubles as his personal assistant on media, said the Niger Delta activist is currently being interrogated by operatives.

“It is true”, the younger Asari said in response to our reporter’s enquiry at about 12.30 p.m Thursday. “He is being interrogated as we speak”. 

Mr. Dokubo-Asari was quoted to have said on Tuesday that he would make Nigeria ungovernable unless President Jonathan secures a second term ticket in the 2015 presidential election. 

He also reportedly asked politicians from the North to steer clear of the
presidency.
