DSS Arrests Asari Dokubo

Former Niger Delta activist, Mujahideen Asari-Dokubo, has been arrested by men of the Department of State Service (DSS) for making inciting comments about the 2015 elections.

In September 2013, Dokubo had told Channels Television, while speaking on Politics Today, that “2015 is already a settled matter; Goodluck Jonathan will be president in 2015. Whether they contest or they don’t contest, Goodluck Jonathan will be president,” he said adding that he would be ready for violence if needed.

Replying to comments made by former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, he (Dokubo) warned that that “if they say the blood of the dogs and the baboon will be soaked in water on the street, in blood on the street, in salt water on the street, we will help them soak them in blood”.
