Why Asari-Dokubo was arrested in Benin Republic



Why Asari-Dokubo was arrested in Benin Republic
Asari Dokubo
  The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, was on Tuesday, November 26, arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
  A statement by his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, said Dokubo was picked up by the police between 1p.m. and 2p.m. around the Lubeleyi Roundabout, and taken to an unknown destination. “We want to emphasise that Alhaji Asari-Dokubo carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now. In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country. All these places have been searched and nothing incriminating was found,” Keyamo said, noting that Dokubo’s arrest and detention may be a ploy by “certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government” to keep his client away as 2015 approaches.
Dokubo has in recent times vowed that unless Mr. President Jonathan retains the presidency in 2015, Nigeria would break up. Accordingly, some sections of the public believe his arrest may not be unconnected with his unguarded utterances.

Concerns over President Jonathan’s failing health



Shortly after the presidential spokesperson Reuben Abati announced that the president was currently undergoing medical checkup in the UK, concerned Nigerians took to social media to air their views. While some prayed and wished him quick recovering, others ironically lambasted and described him as inept leader, who cannot even boast of a world class medical centre in his country, a reason he flew abroad for a mere checkup.  
The statement from Abati on November 21 reads thus: “In the course of his on-going visit to London for a meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investors’ Council, President Goodluck Jonathan became indisposed and could not be present at the opening of the meeting. He has since been examined by competent medical practitioners. He has been advised to rest for a few days.
