Dokubo
A former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, has called for the immediate arrest of some ex Niger-Delta militants for threatening to make the nation ungovernable if President Goodluck Jonathan is not re-elected in the February 14 election.
Danjuma made this call on Wednesday in Kano during the commissioning of the multibillion naira Kwakwasiya city, one of the three mega cities built by the administration of Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
It could be recalled that leader of the defunct Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari; Victor Ben Ebikabowei, aka, Boy Loaf; Government Ekpudomenowei, aka, Tompolo and other militants had last recently vowed to make heads roll if Jonathan is voted out.
The activist and his followers vowed to blow up the oil sector if their kinsman was not reelected.
Reacting to the statement, Danjuma said the threats by the militants were not only against national unity but also capable of plunging the country into war.
He asked the security agencies and the government to immediately arrest them.
“You should arrest Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boylop and other Niger Delta militants for making reckless statements, which in any ways do not mean keeping Nigeria as one entity but creates war situation,” he said.
