The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has cautioned former militants of the Niger Delta, Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari, Victor Ben Ebikabowei aka Boy Loaf, and Government Ekpemupolo, aka, Tompolo, over all the inflammatory statements that are being credited to them in the build up to the presidential election that is coming up next week Saturday.

The commission while making this warning in its latest report which its chairman, Dr. Katina Lantos Swett, made available to correspondents of the Department of State in Washington, DC during the week, added that such statements coming from the former militants who have been threatening wars if President Goodluck Jonathan loses the election, could lead to a religiously-motivated violence if proper measures are not taken by politicians and security agents in good time.

Reacting to the inflammatory statements that are being credited to the former militants, the USCRIF warned President Goodluck Jonathan and other candidates to prevent the looming electoral violence by calming their supporters as well as warning them against such statements.

USCIRF also called on all Nigeria’s political parties to hold responsible their members who are issuing statements inciting violence along religious lines. It also called on the Nigeria’s police and judiciary to impartially hold accountable all perpetrators of electoral violence.

The agency however hailed the decision of the United States to withhold visas to persons who engage in, plan, and/or perpetrate electoral violence in Nigeria, adding that such decision would send a strong message in support of peaceful elections in the country. It also maintained that every effort needed to be undertaken to ensure peaceful elections and prevent the use of religion to stir up more violence

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council has condemned in the strongest terms the continued escalation of attacks perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists, pointing to an attack on 1 February in Borno State, Nigeria and to increasing attacks in the Lake Chad Basin region, including, on 29 and 30 January, against Chadian forces deployed in Cameroon near the town of Fotokol, which killed four Chadian soldiers and injured 12 others.

In a statement issued to the press in New York, the 15 members extended their condolences and sympathies to the families of those killed and injured, and to the peoples and the Governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chad.

Recalling their Presidential Statement of 19 January this year, Council members reiterated their deep concern that the activities of Boko Haram are undermining the peace and stability of the West and Central African region.

They urged the region to enhance regional military operations and coordination to more effectively and immediately combat Boko Haram. In that regard, they commended the Chadian army’s swift assistance in Cameroon, which resulted in neutralisation of 123 Boko Haram combatants and the capture of others.

Members of the 15-State body reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including the actions of Boko Haram, constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whosoever committed.

Okay

A new fool is someone who believes asari dokubo will go to war after feeding fat and getting contracts from FG with several investments abroad and many sweet wives . The man is just making threats that would have been taken seriously had it been he's still in the creeks and poor.

Who is trying to caution Dokubo?
Stop wasting your time

But our Jonathan has failed to caution them thinking that those insignificant numbers can help him hang on to power. We shall see.

Ok 9ja govt should caution him too abi dem dey fear?

Why haven't the useless US condemn bokoharam and its allies? Why haven't they condemn the likes of Buhari and other so called the northern elders for their inflamatory statements?
What are they also waiting for to warn the APC for threatning Nigeria with a paralel government?

Until the US answer these questions, i wont take them serious.

Have they cautioned buhari over the statement he made in 2011? have they cautioned those who want to form a parallel government if they lose? just my question.

Caution and counter caution ..All will end on paper

What statement has Buhari made that threatened the corporate existence of Nigeria?

The US is cautioning people that even Jonathan cannot look in the eye. Jonathan is scared shitless of those guys. It takes courage to be able to stand up to them and we all know GEJ is a wimp. This is a man who can't even control his own wife and the other female presidents in his administration. That is why Alison madueke and Okonjo iweala can continue to do anything they please because Jonathan is like a puppet.

They are not aware that they are putting Jonathan into more mess with all the rubbish they are saying. And he for once has not even find it fit to openly condemn their actions. All of them would go down for it.

abeg US should go and sit down joor

MalcoImX:

are you the one asking this dumb question? smh.

I think GEJ should call those guys to order b4 they put him in trouble.

Well, why not lay it out for us?

Those militants ain't threat because they too like money, that have a price whenever GMB takes the mantle of leadership its either they succumb & negotiate with the government or took to their heels, Asari especially has many investment in Benin republic he won't wanna jeopardize it through diplomatic means.

MalcoImX:

he promised to make Nigeria ungovernable and Nigeria had not been the same since then. buhari no doubt is the man behind boko haram and the killings going on.

I was waiting for the statement but apparently you have been brain washed by the PDP propagandist that Buhari made such a statement. Google is your friend, use it and confirm who made that statement.
Again, what did Buhari say or do in 2011 that caused the post election violence?

You are either a Christian or a Muslim, and if you're a practicing one, what did the one you practice say about "truth?" At no time were those statements traced to him. In fact, most commentators have, with quotes, showed that it was one of the northern bigwigs in the party that you support who made that statement.

STREAM SIDE EXCHANGE, by JP Clark
Child: River bird, river bird
Sitting all day long
On the hook over grass
River bird, river bird,
Sing to me a song
Of all that pass
And say,
Will mother come back today?
Bird: You cannot know
And should not bother;
Tide and market come and go
And so shall your mother.
