If not for British intervention, I’ll still be selling Igbos, just like my father sold them - Asari Dokubo

Former Niger Delta agitator, Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has responded to the Indigenous People of Biafra after the proscribed group described him as a freedom fighter turned bunkering militant and political thug.

In a viral video, Dokubo called the Igbos slaves and that he would have continued selling them just like his fathers did if not for the British intervention.

Asari Dokubo said; “The Igbo people do not know their roots. They don’t have respect for who bought their father. You think every Kalabari man is a Kalabari man.

“See how the Igbo people are dying. They keep saying that I have run away. Look at me; I’m here,” he said.

During his talk in the video, he displayed an AK-47 rifle, adding that the Igbo people are just seeking attention.

Prior to this, Dokubo during a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said that Nnamdi Kanu was a criminal who contributed to the crises that emerged from nationwide #EndSARS protests.

He added, “His release would fuel impunity; during #EndSARS, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of #EndSARS. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.”

Responding to Dokubo, IPOB, in a statement released by its media and Publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, refutes claims that Nnamdi Kanu is a criminal.

The statement read in part, “Those campaigning for the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS solitary confinement forgot that militancy for monetary gains is in the same category as criminals and terrorists.”

“From freedom fighter to bunkering militant; from militant to ex-militant; from ex-militant to oil pipeline guard; from pipeline guard to Biafra agitator; from agitator to ex-agitator; from ex-agitator to political thug; from thuggery to a government informant. Wash a pig, clothe a pig, and a pig will always remain a pig.
