Asari Dokubo arrested in Benin Republic

Just got a press release from lawyer Festus Keyamo explaining that his friend and client, ex-militant Asari Dokubo was arrested in Benin Republic today. Read the press release below...
Today, Tuesday, November 26, 2013, my friend and client, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, around the hours of 1:00pm and 2:00pm by the country’s gendarmes (Police Force).
He was picked up around the Lubeleyi roundabout and taken to an unknown destination. We want to emphasise that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now. In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country. All these places have been searched as at this evening and nothing incriminating was found.
We think his arrest and detention is a ploy by certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government to keep him away as 2015 approaches.

We call on the Nigerian government to immediately intervene and ensure that no harm befalls Alhaji Dokubo-Asari and to use all diplomatic means to secure his immediate release and safe return to Nigeria.
Meanwhile, we shall be liaising immediately with our colleagues in that country to enforce his fundamental rights.

Thank you.
 FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

Pls Benin republic don't release dis bastard until 2016. So dat jonathan and is corrupt officers like Bamaga tukur son. Ahamadu ali son(past &present PDP chairman) that were involve in fuel subsidy scam can be arrested wen they lose 2015election. Asari is a criminal

Mich said...

Oh,so Festus Keyamo is Dokubo's attorney?
Whatever the case is,we can only wait and see.
Fact remains,Asari Dokubo is no saint and not all of his businesses carry the legitimacy tag as Festus Keyamo wants us to believe.

Mr keyamo,you are one of the reasons why the legal profession is bashed from all sides.
It is a pity that you boastfully extol asari;he owns houses?schools?businesses?.

What legal business can we point to that this miscreant runs.yes he has opened a school "outside where he stole the money from".a known militant and oil thief.my GOD,this country baffles the hell out of me.

I smell trouble, if any arrest should be made @least the government of such citizen should be informed and told where her citizen is taken to and for what reason he is apprehended bt if otherwise it is a plot and inhumanization to our country no matter the offence. As a citizen, I plead for his releas o bcos rivers people will not want to loose any of their sons in a foreign land.

I am sure you know what Asari has done and continues to do in the Niger Delta but yet you are not ashamed to call him a friend and defend him...Shame on you Keyamo.

I am sure u are not even a good xtian cos good ones dat I know won't dsplay such barbaric level of mediocrity. BH killed more muslims dan xtians. Dey killed clerics and killed kids going to arabic school. The school dey attacked last killing more than 50 students, 45 of dem were muslims. U av no clue how much harm dey inflicted on d muslim community, emotionally and ignorantly. So next time, get ur fact right before u open dat bin u called mouth and talk abt ISLAM. Enough is enough.

The stupid thing he has done was to publicly say that Benin is now his adopted country. What does it hold for him? France has the say in Benin and they can charge home such things as money laundering. This will mean that he has show the source of his money. If they don't tally? We can expect him to go jail. Nigeria doesn't has a say in his affairs.

They av come to realise dat d stupidity of some individuals got notin to do with religion. MUSLIMS are not perfect bt ISLAM IS. We av some individuals like dat in xtianity too and it will be so ridiculous and naïve for any muslim to draw any stupid conclusion from dat abt xtianity. Y would u av to bring religion into dis? Last week something was posted abt a pastor dat raped one of d church'ss member, all u all ranted was he was been possessed by d devil and whereas pastor is not perfect. But I discovered dat when dat individual is a Muslim, d way u approach it is very annoying and uncouth. I'm sure at one point in time a muslim would av made u happy vice verca.

He ll call himself freedom fighter of the Niger Delta but never does anything good to the region. Why cant he build his school in Niger Delta.
