The Department of State Servic (DSS) yesterday arrested former Niger Delta activist, Mujahideen Asari-Dokubo, for making inciting comments about the 2015 elections.
Dokubo, in an interview with Channels Television last September, said: 2015 is already a settled matter; Goodluck Jonathan will be president in 2015. Whether they contest or they don’t contest, Goodluck Jonathan will be president,” insinuating that he would be ready for violence if need be.
Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, at the time, replied that, “if they say the blood of the dogs and the baboon will be soaked in water on the street, in blood on the street, in salt water on the street, we will help them soak them in blood”.
Asari-Dokubo, on Monday, reaffirmed his position over 2015 ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan, warning that if Jonathan fails to return in 2015, Nigeria would witness a heavy bloodshed.
In an interview with the National Mirror, he said the people of the Niger Delta would not accept even if Jonathan is defeated in a free and fair contest, adding that the President must be allowed to rule for eight years.
Asari was questioned and later released.
