Security officials in Benin Republic have arrested Asari Dokubo, his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, said on Tuesday evening.
According to the information provided by Mr. Keyamo in a statement, the Rivers born former armed fighter was on Tuesday “arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, around the hours of 1:00pm and 2:00pmby the country’s gendarmes (Police Force).”
The wealthy former militant reportedly opened a private university in the Benin Republic, the King Amachree African University that is preparing to start degree-awarding programmes in 2014.
Keyamo stated,
“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.”
He suggested that Dokubo’s arrest and detention may be a ploy by “certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government” to keep his client away as 2015 approaches.
Moreover, the lawyer added,
“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,”
Dokubo has recently vowed that unless Mr. President Jonathan retains the presidency in 2015, Nigeria would break up.
