Asari Dokubo Names Those Responsible For Oil Theft In Nigeria

Asari Dokubo has named those responsible for Oil Theft in Nigeria after meeting with President Tinubu.

 

NewsOnline reports that prominent Niger Delta leader, Asari Dokubo, has claimed that the Nigerian military is responsible for 99 percent of oil theft in the country.

 

This online newspaper understands that Asari Dokubo stated this while speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.

 

He stated that the President has promised to investigate allegations of huge oil bunkering by notorious naval commanders that are kingpins, and promised to take decisive action to halt the shameful act.

 

Asari Dokubo added that there are powerful cabals operating from Abuja, vowing that these powerful forces in place have now met their match and many people would soon be marching to Kuje.

 

He has volunteered to use his boys to assist and do the necessary to halt the evil.

 

The former militant leader argued that ordinary Niger Delta citizens who are often blamed for oil theft are not responsible, as they do not have the wherewithal to perform such sophisticated act of stealing.

According to him, the manner in which the oil thieves have gone about their criminal activities has stripped the people of the Niger Delta of their livelihood, and it is a crime against humanity.

 

Dokubo also alleged that it is an act of blackmail for the military to say that they have insufficient armaments to deal with insecurity, accusing them of forfeiting their weapons to the insurgents, which continued to fuel the insurgency.
