The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has slammed the former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, for antagonizing the ongoing calls for the release of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Recall that Dokubo in a chat with State House correspondents after a recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu urged the Federal Government to keep the activist who is currently standing trial for alleged treasonable felony and terrorism in prison.
However, in a statement issued by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB warned Dokubo and other individuals to stop using Kanu’s name to get favour in Aso Rock.
The group alleged that Dokubo was scheming to get a contract for the protection of oil pipelines in the Niger Delta.
The statement read: “Dokubo and others are campaigning for the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS solitary confinement but they forgot that militancy for monetary gains is in the same category as criminals and terrorists.
“IPOB is not in the league of militants and oil pipeline guards. IPOB stands for freedom for Biafrans including those on oil pipeline security guards for the oppressors. It’s unfortunate that those who are supposed to be in the decision-making of the oil explorations in their region are guarding the oil pipelines for the oppressors and their children.
“Kanu was neither part of Nigerian youths that started the protest against brutal police SARS during #ENDSARS protest as the insatiable greedy creek pig alleged.
“Cajoling IPOB leader cannot secure you contract instead that will bring you down. In a sane society, such militants would have been in jail, but Nigeria is a country where thugs, terrorists, and militants are respected and rewarded better than university professors.
“We have two sets of militants in Niger Delta. Some are fighting for resource control to better their region while some are fighting to enrich themselves through Federal Government sponsored oil contracts and bunkering as the region is exploited.”
