News Release: MEND Demands Release Of Asari Dokubo

Asari Dokubo

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) demands the immediate release of Mr Asari Dokubo who has been detained since Tuesday, November 26, 2013 in the Republic of Benin .

Even though Mr Asari Dokubo, along with some Niger Delta myopic and corrupt Tribal Assemblies like the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC), Ijaw Monitoring Group ( IMG ), South-South Peoples Assembly (SSPA) and Elder Edwin K Clark gloated or kept silent over Henry Okah’s setup, arrest and conviction, we will remember the role Mr Asari Dokubo had played in the unfinished struggle before he was bought off along with several others.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) will not abandon Mr Asari Dokubo at this time as we will not abandon Henry Okah, his brother Charles Okah and others still incarcerated.

If diplomacy fails to prevail, we will not rule out any form of attacks on the Republic of Benin’s interests.
