Former Niger Delta militants’ leader, Asari Dokubo has revealed that the immediate past government of Muhammadu Buhari employed him to protect the Abuja-Kaduna highway after the several cases of murder and kidnapping that was reported in the area.
Dokubo who spoke about his capabilities in a report by Daily Trust paper, said that he was not in good terms with the former president but the latter had no choice but to recognize his potential and assign him the critical duty.
He said:
“If the Buhari-led government can engage me to bring safety for the people on the Abuja-Kaduna road, it should be commended. Do you know how many lives were saved? Do you know how many people were brought out from depression and trauma? Have you ever spoken to people who have been kidnapped?”
“We did not employ ourselves. The government saw the potential in us and knowing that we can deliver and they engaged us. That the Buhari government engaged me shows that they know who I am. I was not a friend of Buhari. For seven years, I was anti-Buhari. Buhari with all that saw the capacity in me that I am capable and the government came.”
Recall that Dokubo has been making a lot of comments lately. In fact, he had recently asked the Igbos to look inwardly and determine what’s wrong with them.
