Former Niger Delta militant leader and founder of the defunct Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Asari Dokubo, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against granting freedom to the incarcerated leader of outlawed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, as releasing him “will be tantamount to rewarding criminality.”
Dokubo, a long-time enemy of the Biafran agitator, bared his mind after a recent meeting with Tinubu in Abuja and said the release of Kanu, who has been detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) since his arrest in Kenya in 2021 on charges bordering on terrorism, would further fuel “impunity” in the South-East region.
While talking to journalists after the meeting, Dokubo said Kanu should face the full weight of the law over alleged atrocities committed by IPOB and its militia wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
He said: “His release would fuel impunity; during EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars.
“Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.
“Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding criminality and rewarding gruesome murder of innocent people. He should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out.”
