I’ll Still Be Selling You As Slaves Like My Forebears If Not For British Intervention, Asari Dokubo Taunts Igbos

Former militant leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has fired a shot at the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for calling him a freedom fighter turned bunkering militant and political thug.

In a viral video on Tuesday night, Dokubo addressed Igbos, saying he would have continued to be selling Igbos as slaves if not for the British government’s intervention.

The former Niger Delta warlord, who was displaying an AK-47 rifle in the video as he poured abusive words on Igbos, said: “The Igbo people do not know their roots. They don’t have respect for who bought their father. You think every Kalabari man is a Kalabari man.

“See how the Igbo people are dying. They keep saying that I have run away. Look at me; I’m here.”

Dokubo dismissed Igbos as a people just seeking attention.

He had stirred IPOB ire during his controversial visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu last week by stating that Nnamdi Kanu was a criminal who contributed to the crises that emerged from nationwide #EndSARS protests across the country, hence, should not be released from detention under any guise.

According to him: “His release would fuel impunity; during #EndSARS, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of #EndSARS. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.”

Meanwhile, IPOB, through a statement by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, defended its leader, saying Kanu is not a criminal but has become a political prisoner for championing a sovereign State of Biafra.

IPOB stated: “Those campaigning for the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS solitary confinement forgot that militancy for monetary gains is in the same category as criminals and terrorists.

“From freedom fighter to bunkering militant; from militant to ex-militant; from ex-militant to oil pipeline guard; from pipeline guard to Biafra agitator; from agitator to ex-agitator; from ex-agitator to political thug; from thuggery to a government informant. Wash a pig, clothe a pig, and a pig will always remain a pig.”
