Global Initiatives for Good Governance (GIGG), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has appealed to the Federal Government and well-meaning Nigerians to warn and caution Mr. Asari Dokubo against fanning embers of hatred and crisis in the country….CONTINUE READING...CONTINUE READING
The group specifically said the recent aspersion cast against the Igbo race by Dokubo could escalate the crisis between Ndi Igbo and some sections of the country, adding that his accusation of oil theft levelled against the military must also be investigated.
Dr. Emeka Kalu, the Director General of GIGG, in a statement to journalists, warned Dokubo to steer clear of Ndi Igbo and mind his business.
The group insisted that nobody had the monopoly of violence, regretting that he had soured the long standing cordial relationship between the Igbo and their Niger Delta brothers with his recent utterance against the region.

The group also called on the security agencies to investigate Dokubo and possibly prosecute him for being in possession of illegal firearms.
“The Federal Government under the watch of President Bola Tinubu is hereby called to arrest and investigate Asari Dokubo to explain how he got possession of AK 47 that is not a gun permitted by law for an individual to buy and license….CONTINUE READING
