A concerned Nigerian, Alhaji Faruq Musa Muhammad, has dragged former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, before Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, for allegedly threatening to kill Igbos.

Muhammad, President and CEO of the Abuja-based Dattijo Multi-Purpose Business, lodged the complaint via a petition dated 21^st June, 2023, entitled, “FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ONE MR. ASARI DOKUBO FOR THREATENING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AS HE WAS SEEN IN A 1 MINUTE 30 SECONDS VIDEO CLIP: ILLEGALLY SHOWING UP HIS AK 47 RIFLE WHILE PROMOTING VIOLENCE AND CIVIL WAR IN NIGERIA AS HE WAS ALSO SEEN CONDEMING AND THREATENING IGBO PEOPLE WITH THAT AK 47….”

The petition reads: “Sir, I am writing you this formal complaint as a concerned and patriotic Nigerian who always has a zeal and motivation of making our Dear Country, Nigeria a better place as I have soundly and reasonably learned that Mr Asari Dokubo is presently plotting to create the breakdown of law and order in our society.

“Please find the attached of a disk (marked as Exhibit: A) Containing the said 1 minute and 30 second video clip: where Mr Asari Dokubo was seen wearing a red T-shirt, speaking in pidgin English as he partly, says: “…..you (Igbo people) will do video to sell that Alhaji (Dokubo Asari) has run away, you dey see me: I don’t run….” Then at this point he picked up an AK 47 Rifle from his left side-indicating that he’s ready to face them (Igbo people) with that weapon.

“Presently, the video is trending on the social media platforms and it’s sending a wrong message against our National Security: because Mr Dokubo was trying to send a message to the general public that he is above the law.

“Here, I want the Inspector General of Police to send an “Open Invitation Letter” to Mr Dokubo Asari and ask him to report to the Nigeria Police Force so that he would clear himself on that video clip. And if the policemen have found him, breaking the law of the land in respect of that video, thus I want him to be charged to the court of law please. Thank you.”
