Leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPV), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has said that he is not training snipers as alleged in former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Jonathan.
Obasanjo did not directly implicate Asari Dokubo in the allegation, but Dokubo said he felt the former leader was referring to him.
He said: “I don’t know what is called snipers; I will revisit my dictionary for the meaning of snipers.
“I am not training snipers for either the Presidency or anybody. If ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo wants to point a finger at me, I will know the path to take or the relevant authorities to contact.
“I have not seen my name mentioned directly by anybody, but I know what to do if this is so.
“If I am being invited by security agencies on issues that have to do with denting my image, I know what to do.”
Speaking on his arrest and detention in the Benin Republic, Dokubo explained why he was treated like a criminal by the Benin Republic.
“Information reached Beninoise security agencies that I was a Boko Haram leader. And from all investigations, they said they did not find any clue linking me with Boko Haram.
“Some people gave Benin Republic false information to see that Dokubo dies before the 2015 general election. So, we are in a political era and from all investigations, my encounter in Benin Republic had to do with politics.”
