The National President of Indigenous Igbo Youth Congress (IIYC), Chief John Mayor Echefu, has called on the acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun to arrest a former Niger Delta agitator, Asari Dokubo for promoting ethnic violence and threatening the Igbo
Dokubo, while displaying an AK-47 rifle in a video, was seen threatening to take the Igbo ethnic group into slavery the way his grandfathers did. He said: “They don’t have respect for who bought their father. You think every Kalabari man is a Kalabari man. If not for British intervention, I will still be selling them the way my father sold them.” Echefu wondered why the authorities are keeping quiet and watching Dokubo promote ethnic violence, adding, “what statement did an Igbo traditional ruler in Ajao Estate make during the election that he is being detained till today. But someone is brandishing an Ak-47 riffle and threatening an ethnic group, yet the security agencies are not doing anything. “What baffles me is that the same Asari Dokubo in a video was seen crying over the way his people were being maltreated by the Nigerian government and regretted not seeing the late Odumegwu Ojukwu to beg him for the betrayal of his fathers. “About three years ago, he was everywhere shouting that Biafra was the way to go and that anybody from the South East and his Ijaw people opposed to Biafra regaining its sovereignty was his enemy.
“By attacking the Igbo, he thought it was a safe way of securing contract for oil pipeline surveillance,” he said.
