The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, was today arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic. 

A statement by his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, said Dokubo was picked up by the police between 1:00pm and 2:00pm around the Lubeleyi roundabout, and taken to an unknown destination.

The wealthy former militant reportedly opened a private university in the Benin Republic, the King Amachree African University that is preparing to start degree-awarding programmes in 2014.

“We want to emphasise that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now,” Keyamo said in his statement.  “In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country. All these places have been searched as at this evening and nothing incriminating was found.”

He suggested that Dokubo’s arrest and detention may be a ploy by “certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government” to keep his client away as 2015 approaches.

“We call on the Nigerian government to immediately intervene and ensure that no harm befalls Alhaji Dokubo-Asari and to use all diplomatic means to secure his immediate release and safe return to Nigeria,” he said.

Dokubo has in recent times vowed that unless Mr. President Jonathan retains the presidency in 2015, Nigeria would break up.

Good for him! Abeg they should not release him until 2015. He is a threat and deserves to be confined to prison till further notice.

Na God catch am. Imagine, you leave Nigeria where you can talk anyhow to a country where dem no send you. When you finish building the school they will find something against you and throw you out. Your hands are not even clean to begin with. Asari get mind. Not too many countries send naija, especially African countries. When dem finish with you, will retire back to naija.

Please they should release him. Freedom for one is freedom for all. However if he committed a crime, then he should face the music.

He will be released soon

I laugh in Ewe.
Nigerians fond of underating others.

Things fall apart for Jonathan administration.

One of his bulldogs gone missing into unknown confinement. This is why i love the game of chess, taking the knights out, the castle falls.

Hahahahaha, Dokubo, do not worry, enjoy your time eating Wanke and Kenke,

Have Fun

Good for the guy, atleast he looks like them. He needs to tell them to release, or he would break there.

Am coming back.........let me attend to G7 and APC cosmetics.

GEJ will be fine very soon

Fool you think say Benin Republic is Nigeia
where a criminals will be king.

Tomorrow he will be threatening Nigerians because Jona is on seat.

Nigeria is fast turning into post soviet russia with criminal gangs, with the backing of d idiots in abuja, setting up shop all over the sub region. This guy can certainly not b arrested in Nigeria even though we know he's a criminal cos he has cousins in abuja.

Sahara Reporters at it again.,...

RIP (Rest in Prison) Asari!

pics or it didn't happen.

Benin Republic is biting more than it can chew

Finally somebody decides to put a stop to this menace.
Meanwhile, enjoy this 'food for tought'

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, 'What did you want the most when you were there?" The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, "That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it." There is no other secret.

Moral: A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

Gun running thing, I suspect...................

Yorubas, I carry my yash for una, the tribe of my forefathers. Since GEJ has refused to check his brainless tug, we, the Yorubas have decided to put him where he belongs - behind the bar, that is where Obasanjo put him some years back and that is where we, the Yorubas are returning him to using our stooge, the Benin Republic government. If you have forgotten, I will remind you, the President of Benin Republic once came to Nigeria and prostrated for Obasanjo in the public, so Benin Republic is just Yoruba satellite town, the same way Universities have satellite campuses.

Benin wan bite more than they can shew, perhaps this the opportunity to unleash naija legion of army on then for importing boko-haram into this country. If I'm GEJ I will use this opportunity to bomb that little nation to stone age....rubbish

Seems the Beninnoise govt can smell rats and won't sleep with both eyes close. They won't hassle him, if they have no cause, imho.
