Boko Haram & $9.3M Arms Scandal: Asari Dokubo Blasts Lai Mohammed & Gen. Buhari

Ex-militant and leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF)Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, hinted at what appeared a bit of violence Wednesday, with a threat of lawsuit or “self-help” against the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lai Mohammed, for claiming he helped transport $9.3 million cash for arms purchase in South Africa. Mr. Asari said he will use civilized ways against Mr. Mohammed by suing him first for his remarks He said, if he (Asari) sues him (Mohammed) and the court does not deliver justice then he would take it into upon himself to deal with him (Mohammed) by using his hands and other means available to deal with the APC spokesperson.

“After all the South Africa People have given the names of people on the plane and if by next week we go to court and the court is being manipulated not to give me justice, I will resort to self-help. I have the capacity to resort to self-help. I will not give anybody any apology because if a man has mouth to malign me then I can use what I have to fight for myself”.

When asked to expansiate on the nature of self-help, Asari said, “When the time comes you will know. The man doesn’t have the right to malign me. If a man has the right to use his mouth and hand to malign me and libel people, and any other man has the right to use his hand and any other means to get justice”.

Asari’s threat followed unconfirmed claim by the APC pointing him as one of two Nigerians who travelled alongside an Israeli, with $9.3m cash, for arms purchase in South Africa. Authorities there, like the Nigerian government, have refused to release the names of the two Nigerians who took part in the failed deal.

The APC spokesperson, quoting reports by some blogs, alleged that Asari was one of the unidentified Nigerians on the private jet that ferried the cash to South Africa. Although Asari denies been part of the trip. He claims he has not been to South Africa since 2002, asking the journalists to confirm with South Africa’s embassy in Nigeria if any visa was granted to him to travel.

He claims to be targeted by APC because of his support for President Goodluck Jonathan to secure a second term in office. “So the onus of proof is on him. I will fight him with any means available to me. He manufactured a lie against me, and he orchestrated it”. If they want to win an election they should go and face Goodluck and win election not to pull down GEJ supporters”, he said.

Asari said, his assailant had been trying to silence him, even as last year they had failed when he was wrongly accused of sponsoring the Boko Haram Sect. “They failed last year in November. I went to the SSS on my own. The next one (they said) I’m in South Africa for arms and for money laundering which are international crimes. After that they brought Rex (his younger brother) picture and immediately they transformed Rex to Mohammed Yusuf with Ayo Oritsejafor and that we are there together.
“How long will they continue to malign me? Whatever means I have to reclaim my name and stop them from disturbing me. Anything that will redeem my name, I will do it.”

He also assailed a former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari for his interest in the 2015 presidential race. Saying he would be disgraced. “Buhari declared for presidency, he would fail as he always fails, this time he will fail more. He has always been disgraced”, he said.

Mr. Asari, a dedicated supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan, accused the former head of state stage-managed the assassination attempt on him (Buhari) last August, asking, “Someone who has staged-managed an assassination on his life what else can he not do?” 

He said, “Buhari staged-managed an assassination attempt that killed over 100 people in Kaduna after that they produced somebody. Anyone who has been involved in the military activities will know when something is stage-managed.

“His own story indicted him and roped him in. In any civilized country, he will be arrested. He said the bombers chased him until they rammed into his car instead of his car to be badly damaged it was people farthest away from the bomb that died or had more damages. Buhari came down.

“Anyone who knows the story of bomb blast, anybody at the vicinity of a blast will be evacuated because there might be a secondary explosion and the second explosions can be more deadly. And Buhari came down in his immaculate white. He was not afraid. Suddenly, somebody just appeared and said they caught the person that planted the bomb and he said it was Asari that sent me (and that) he gave us N5million. Where are the rest four people?”
