Niger Delta leader, Asari Dokubo, has levelled allegations against the Nigerian military, accusing them of being responsible for 99 percent of oil theft in the country.
It was gathered that Dokubo made these claims
following a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential
office on Friday.
During the meeting, the President reportedly
assured Dokubo that he would thoroughly investigate the allegations of
widespread oil bunkering orchestrated by influential naval commanders who act
as key players in this illicit trade. Furthermore, Tinubu pledged to take
decisive measures to end this disgraceful practice.
Dokubo emphasised the existence of
influential factions operating from the capital city, Abuja, and proclaimed
that these powerful entities have now met their match.
He asserted that a significant number of
individuals would soon be making their way to KUJE.
Dokubo offered the assistance of his
followers to combat this malevolence and put a stop to it. He expressed his
willingness to utilise his group of loyal supporters, known as “his boys,” to
take the necessary actions to halt these nefarious activities.
As of the time of reporting, a response from
the military is still awaited.
