A human rights organisation, One Love Foundation has filed a petition to the Nigerian Senate against Asari Dokubo.
According to Barrister Samuel Ihensekhien Jr, the petition is in response to verbal and unprovoked attacks of hate speech by Dokubo against Igbo people of South East Nigeria.
Parts of the petition, addressed to the House Commitee Chairman on Petition Ethics, read:
“We wish to inform your office of the recent subversive acts and action that can activate and plunge the always peaceful people of Nigeria into helplessness and war. It should be noted that recently the self
acclaimed militant fighter, in Asari Dokubo rushed to State House , Abuja to verbally and maliciously attack the Nigeria Army/Navy accusing the two segments of the Military of being responsible for 99 percent oil theft in Nigeria. He did not stop here, rather he arrogantly took to Igbos by calling them “Sold Out Slaves” on his life Facebook daily outburst session on his page.
“As if it that were not enough, he also recently proudly resorted to brandishing AK 47 riffle as a sign of his readiness for crisis against South-Eastern people again on his facebook page. This level of arrogance on the part of Asari and other traducers of violence led to the influx of hate speech that greeted the entire nooks and crannies of the immediate past administration of Muhammed Buhari, and if not checkmated and tamed by security agencies will lead to ethnic and religious war in Nigeria. More worrisome is that Asari has taken another bold step to continue the outpour and the outbursts daily against the South East people of Nigeria.
“Take it or leave it, Asari is not a good Nigerian to be reckoned with and his recent action should be taken seriously, if at all this present government and security agencies are to record excellence in her mapped out blueprints. We are therefore requesting that, Mr
Asari Dokubo be apprehended from his hideout and questioned with a view to prosecuting him under the extant laws of Nigeria and shall at your request provide all internet and video evidence to suport our claims. We hope our request is heeded or else, we shall approach the courts soonest for our reliefs. We are grateful”, the petition ended.
