Human rights activist and president of One Love Foundation, Chief Dr Patrick Osagie Eholor has advised the new Police Inspector General of Police, the New National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and the Military Service Chiefs to ad a matter of urgency arrest Alhaji Asari Dokubo.
Eholor in a statement to journalists stated that the volatility of the country does not permit anyone to make provocative utterances such as the ones made by Dokubo, especially where he was showcasing some high profile guns in a video on the social media.
He also questioned Asari’s claims that his father if alive below, would have been a slave dealer on Igbos, wondering when slave trade became legal again. Eholor who frowned at the vituperations of Asari, said he must be arrested so that he can explain how he controlled six states and how his boys were killed, among other issues.
Hear him: “Asari Dokubo contradicting self: in one video he said his grandfather was sold by Igbos to the Amanyanabo of Kalabari and in another, he claims his grandfather is the one who sold Igbos. He is also claiming to be Igbo, while threatening them with AK 47s in public view.
“Is Nigeria a failed state? I ask this question because I think all men are born equal and I also think that the law has no respect of anybody but surprisingly, I have seen that all fingers are not equal.”
“I have also seen that all animals are not also equal in Nigeria. Recently, we watched in amusement, when Asari Dokubo got a clearance to go to Aso Rock, like any other person who is a VIP in this country. The issue is not him going to Aso Rock, like Big Gates, like any other personality but the issue is that he was given a Nigeria’s Sovereignty flag. He was accorded with the highest respect. He has a broadcast to the nation and to the world. When he claimed that he controls 6 states out of 36 states in Nigeria, that a lot of his men died, do we have statistics of the living and the dead in Nigeria? If we do, can he show us the men that died where they were buried? And after that broadcast, he lambasted the military how scared they are, how they connived with oil thieves to steal our money. But he didn’t have the guts to mention their names. I am not saying that there are no Army collaborators or Navy collaborators, or civil defense, or others. But if you have struck an allegation, you should be able to substantiate it and back it up with evidence.
In another video, Asari is claiming that his grandfather used to be a slave master, that if the father was alive, his own trade would be a continuation of selling the Igbos”.
“Are the igbos not Nigerians? And if they are Nigerians, why should we allow those bigotries, those world insensitive to insult people as great as they are, even though they have suffered in the last civil war? And that is why I want to challenge the new decorated AIG, who said he is a tiger and is a lion, two in one.
“That’s very powerful. If you are a tiger and you are a lion, and you know that we cannot have unlawful weapons in this country, and you need to invite Asari Dokubo, I don’t remember when the law permits anyone to cary weapons.
“I think the few of us cannot have submachine guns, AK -47s, and other dangerous weapons. And I also want to challenge the NSA Nuhu Ribadu, because of our internal security, to invite, as a matter of fact, immediately, Asari Dokubo to ask him where he got those guns from, or where he is buying the ammunition from, or the 3 state that he claims to be controlling, how many people died and how many people he killed, we should know.
“And I am also challenging the new Chief of Army Staff and Defense Staff to immediately invite him and also have the same question, because we cannot allow outlaw in this country. And I thank my brothers and my sister from the East that they have not retaliated, or they have not even made provocative utterances back to this Asari Dokubo, who thinks that Nigeria belongs to him and belongs to him alone, that violence is the only part that we can use in Nigeria to be successful.”
“In all, I want to thank the President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In in my last video broadcast and article published, when I spoke about the 114% that the Senate and House of Representatives must pass it because there is law brought us together as Nigerians, the salary increment should be mostly benefited by the Judiiciary, I strongly believe however if there are going to be any increment, the judges should be the number one to consider so that they can carry out their duty well to avoid them being bias in their judgement, because judiciary is the last hope for the common people.”
