Drama as Asari Dokubo makes U-Turn, blasts Tinubu over one-sided appointments (VIDEO)
Former Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo expressed his frustration over President Bola Tinubu’s recent appointments.
Dokubo voiced his concerns in response to Islamic cleric Sheikh Gumi’s call to remove Nyesom Wike as the minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory.
In a viral video, the ex-Niger Delta warlord criticized the one-sided appointments made by President Tinubu, stating that they make Lagos appear to be the only state in the country. Dokubo, who had campaigned for Tinubu due to his past achievements, argued that the current appointments set a dangerous precedent.

Dokubo vehemently stated, “A Muslim-Muslim ticket was voted for by the Nigerian people, and they know who Ahmed Bola Tinubu is. Many of us are aware. I did not vote for Ahmed Bola Tinubu because he is a Muslim. The ongoing appointments are skewed. The president must realize that the appointments he is making, as if Nigeria is only Lagos, is perilous.”
He urged the president to reconsider the appointments, emphasizing that the country belongs to everyone.

Two Cameroonian, two Nigerians arrested over kidnapping
A stint operation carried out by detectives from Force Headquarters, Abuja, and Operatives of Delta State Police Command has led to the arrest of a Camerounian and two Nigerians over kidnapping.
The three-man gang was known for kidnapping unsuspecting residents in Orerokpe, Sapele and Warri axes of Delta State.
One suspect is Kaduna-based, while the others are from Kogi and Cameroun, respectively.
Intelligence gathered on some kidnapping incidents carried out in the Warri axis pointed accusing fingers at Yakubu Ya’u, 20, a Kaduna resident who often visited Oha and Ughwagba communities in Okpe Local Government Area of the state to kidnap unsuspecting victims for ransom.

Led by the DPO of Orerokpe Division, DSP Paul Oboware, the detectives trailed the suspect to his hideout in Warri, where he was arrested.
Grilled, the suspect led the police operatives to two other members of the gang, Musa Yakubu, 25, from Kogi State and Abdulahi Mohammed, 38, from Cameroun.
The gang was allegedly responsible for several kidnapping incidents in Orerokpe, Sapele and Warri axes of Delta State.
Some victims of the crime duly identified the suspects who led the detectives to Ughwagba, where two pump action guns, one live cartridge and one knife buried in a bush were recovered by the police.
A statement issued by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Edafe Bright, said investigation into the matter has commenced with efforts to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang in top gear.
