I�ll still be selling Igbo like my forebears if�, Asari Dokubo replies IPOB

Former Niger Delta agitator, Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has fired a shot at the Indigenous People of Biafra for calling him a freedom fighter turned bunkering militant and political thug.

Dokubo was seen in a video that went viral on Tuesday night addressing the Igbo people as slaves who would have continued to be sold if not for the British government�s intervention.

The ex-militant said, �The Igbo people do not know their roots. They don�t have respect for who bought their father. You think every Kalabari man is a Kalabari man.

�See how the Igbo people are dying. They keep saying that I have run away. Look at me; I�m here,� he said.

Dokubo, while displaying an AK-47 rifle in the video, added that the Igbo people are just seeking attention.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Dokubo during a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said Nnamdi Kanu was a criminal who contributed to the crises that emerged from nationwide #EndSARS protests across the country, hence, should face the music.

He added, �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.�

Meanwhile, IPOB, through a statement by its media and Publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, said Kanu is not a criminal but has become a political prisoner for championing a sovereign state of Biafra.

IPOB stressed, �Those campaigning for the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS solitary confinement forgot that militancy for monetary gains is in the same category as criminals and terrorists.�

The pro-Biafra group noted, �From freedom fighter to bunkering militant; from militant to ex-militant; from ex-militant to oil pipeline guard; from pipeline guard to Biafra agitator; from agitator to ex-agitator; from ex-agitator to political thug; from thuggery to a government informant. Wash a pig, clothe a pig, and a pig will always remain a pig.
