A former Commissioner for Information and Culture, Major General Ibrahim Bata Malgwi Haruna, has lambasted a former Niger Delta Militant leader, Asari Dokubo, over his comment in meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on oil theft in the Niger-Delta region, stating that the ex-militant and his security outfits were behind the criminal act.
He disclosed that Dokubo lacked the moral right to accuse the Nigerian military of oil theft in the Niger Delta.
General Haruna, while on Arise TV’s on Tuesday morning, said people like Asari Dokubu lacked the moral right to speak on oil theft in the country, unless he wants to apologies to Nigerians.
Last week Friday, Dokubo had in his meeting with President Tinubu at the State House on Friday, accused the military high command of being complicit in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region.
The repentant Militant denied of having a private security organisation, stressing that he had been instrumental in quelling the crisis in the Niger and Kaduna axis of the country.
The ex-militant, while addressing journalists after the meeting with President, claimed that ordinary citizens do not have the resources and technology needed to engage in oil bunkering, especially connecting pipes directly to oil heads to tap crude.
“Is Asari Dokubo free from oil theft? Is he not a beneficiary of oil theft? How did he finance his empire over there? Maybe he is accusing soldiers and lower people who steal jerrycans of petrol while he is behind the stealing and enjoyment of millions of dollars stashed in their bank accounts.
“I think talking about Dokubo and others is because of the impact of security and its operations have failed. Those who are accessing the military and other services, they point one finger at the military and the other three are pointing at them
“In the Nigerian situation, they cannot get to where they’ve gotten if the spills of oil are not dripping from their ears and mouths.” General Haruna said.
