Ijaw activist and leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, Asari Dokubo, has slammed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for falsely accusing him of being behind the ordeal of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
He made the statement during a Facebook live chat on Sunday, tackling the group for engaging in activities that are detrimental to the well being of their people.
Asari Dokubo who explained that he couldn’t have been behind the extradition of their leader from Kenya noted that he did not even know his movement or where he stayed before he was arrested.

He also chastised the group for the constant closure of businesses in the South-East region as a result of the sit-at-home order, saying such can never happen in the neighbouring Niger Delta states.
Dokubo said, “IPOB said I was the one that sold them out, that I betrayed them, am not the one who said it. They are also the ones that said I betrayed their leader in Kenya.
“I don’t know where Nnamdi Kanu was living, I don’t know where he took off for. They said I was the person who gave him up. I now said I was the person, the next thing they said was Asari Dokubo was the person. Look at these idiots, what are you going to do to me?
“IPOB was presented as a platform for reconciliation, but today it is not fighting for Biafra. Today, schools, businesses have been closed down.
“If people sit at home, it is their choice that they are afraid of you people, it is not because you people are powerful. They don’t know you people are nothing.
“People are afraid of being killed that’s why they’ve continued to sit at home, not because they love Nnamdi Kanu. If there is adequate security by the government, why is there no sit-at-home in Port Harcourt? Calabar? Uyo? It is because the government of these places are saying don’t ever come here.”
