Less than 24 hours after a group, Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, called
on security agents to arrest and caution the President of the Niger
Delta Volunteer Force, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, for repeatedly making
inciting comments, the Department of State Security, DSSS, has heeded
the call.
Mr. Dokubo-Asari was Thursday summoned to the DSS
headquarters in Abuja, where he is being interrogated for comments
believed to be capable of breaching the fragile peace the country
currently enjoys. The spokesperson of the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, was not
available for comments. She did not answer or return calls. But Mr.
Dokubo-Asari younger brother, Rex Asari, who also doubles as
his personal assistant on media, said the Niger Delta activist is
currently being interrogated by operatives.
“It is true,” the
younger Asari said in response to our reporter's enquiry at about 12.30
p.m Thursday. “He is being interogated as we speak.” Mr. Dokubo-Asari
was quoted to have said on Tuesday that he would make Nigeria
ungovernable unless President Jonathan secures a second term ticket in
the 2015 presidential election. He also reportedly asked politicians
from the North to steer clear of the
presidency.
