General Olanrewaju Makes A Move On Asari Dokubo

Asari Dokubo, a staunch follower of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made a significant comment at the presidential house recently. He accused the Nigerian military, notably the Army and Navy, of being heavily involved in oil theft, stating that they were responsible for 99 percent of such illegal acts. Dokubo and his companions pledged to the President that there would be no more oil theft or vandalism in the Niger Delta region.

General Olanrewaju, the previous General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian Army's Third Armoured Division, expressed his alarm in response to this development. He underlined the necessity of avoiding a situation in which Asari Dokubo and his group pick up guns and proudly claim responsibility for victories over terrorists, robbers, and security difficulties in the Abuja-Kaduna axis, Niger State, and throughout the Niger Delta. He chastised them for undermining the military's claims about their accomplishments.

General Olanrewaju stated:

"it should not be heard that an Asari Dokubo and his boys were able to carry arms and now boasting around to be behind the success against insecurity caused by terrorists and bandits on Abuja-Kaduna axis, Niger State and across the Niger Delta while putting the military up as liars for laying claims to same.”

He added; "This is cheap political blackmail. Dokubo should be directed by the president to provide whatever evidence is available to him to the security services. An individual like Dokubo cannot eat his cake and have it. He’s now the complainant, jury, and court"

"This man goes around with armed men approved by the Federal Government, whereas states that have security outfits (e.g. Amotekun) were denied from doing so," he added. During a recent visit to the presidential house, Asari Dokubo, a staunch follower of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made an important statement. He said that the Nigerian military, notably the Army and Navy, are heavily involved in oil theft, claiming that they are responsible for 99 percent of such illegal actions. To address this issue, Dokubo and his associates informed the President that they would eliminate oil theft and prevent additional vandalism in the Niger Delta region.

General Olanrewaju, the previous General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian Army's Third Armoured Division, revealed his opinion to the issue.
