The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer
Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, who was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic
during the week, has confirmed that President Goodluck Jonathan intervened on
his behalf to secure his release as originally reported by SaharaReporters.
Mr. Dokubo arrived Abuja on Friday night and told
reporters, and some of his supporters that he arrest was as a result of his
purported links with Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group based in Northern
Nigeria.
Alhaji Dokubo denied reports stating that a
Presidential jet was sent to bring him back to Nigeria after his release. He
further claimed that his ordeal was in connection with his support for the
re-election bid of President Jonathan in 2015.(Sahara Reporters)
