MASSOB Slams Asari Dokubo, Declares: 'You're the Real Criminal, Not Nnamdi Kanu!'

"MASSOB Lambastes Asari Dokubo as an Economic Saboteur and Labels Him the Real Criminal, Not Nnamdi Kanu!"

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has vehemently criticized former militant leader Asari Dokubo, branding him both a criminal and an economic saboteur.

MASSOB's strong reaction was triggered by Dokubo's recent call for President Bola Tinubu to refrain from releasing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Following a meeting with Tinubu, Dokubo argued that releasing Kanu would essentially reward criminal behavior in the Southeast region. He claimed that Kanu should face legal consequences for his alleged actions and instigations, including gruesome murders of innocent individuals

In response, Uchenna Madu, the leader of MASSOB, condemned Dokubo's statements as the ranting of a frustrated criminal. Madu went on to express his disbelief that a man who possesses illegal general-purpose machine guns and hundreds of AK-47 rifles would have the audacity to label a man without even a catapult as a criminal.

MASSOB further reminded Dokubo of his involvement in destructive activities, such as the destruction and vandalism of petroleum pipelines under the guise of self-determination for the Ijaw people. They viewed Dokubo's plea to Tinubu not to release Kanu as a clear indication of his own true criminal nature, urging others to disregard his claims

The statement from MASSOB concluded by asserting that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is neither a criminal nor an insignificant saboteur, in stark contrast to what they described as Asari Dokubo's misguided characterization.
