Former President of Ijaw Youth Council, Asari Dokubo has responded to
allegations of obtaining twenty million naira from Nnamdi Kanu, the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader.

It should be noted that Mr Kanu was arrested on treason charges in
October 2015 and was detained for more than a year, despite various
court orders that ruled for his release.

While speaking about the detractors who betrayed the group, Mr Kanu alleged Mr Dokubo of some criminal acts

“Because he is a criminal and I’ll prove it. As I’m saying it, I’m
mentioning names. That useless pig called Asari Dokubo that I gave money
to. From inside prison, I gave him twenty million naira. I was in
prison. He was so poor that I authorised for him to be given twenty
million naira.”

He alleged that after paying Mr Dokubo to earm his support, some members
of IPOB were nabbed by operatives of the Department of State Security
(DSS) with the help of the activist.

“Our men went to Nkwocha. That bloated pig called DSS to come and arrest
my men in Nkwocha and he gave the money to them. People have no shame.
Did I give you money or not? I was in prison and I organised a meeting
in cotonou, in your house, with our men. You demanded for two hundred
million naira. Did you ask me for two hundred million naira or not?” He
challenged the former Ijaw leader.

“I gave you money for us to do something, you went ahead to call on DSS.
You are freedom fighter who is in love with your oppressors. How much
did we give to support the avengers? The Ijaw kingdom know you. They
know you are a traitor.” kanu said.

Meanwhile, in his response, Mr Dokubo swore on the holy Quran insisting
that he never collected twenty million naira from the IPOB leader.

“Nnamdi Kanu, your followers have challenged me that if I did not
collect any money from you I should swear by the Quran. Here is a copy
of the Quran.

I swore by the Quran that I never collected twenty million naira from
you or any of your representatives. That i never betrayed any of your
members,” he said in a video obtained by POLITICS NIGERIA.

Also, he denied betraying any IPOB member, saying; “You sent your
members to me. They stayed with me and they left. As I am talking to you
I have about 18 IPOB members with me, living in my house- Combatant
IPOB who live with me.”

However, he challenged Mr Kanu to also swear if he had not been collecting kickbacks from state Governors.

” I want you to swear if you have not been collecting monies from
Governors in Igbo states and beyond, running into hundreds of millions-
That you have never collected a dime from them.”

“Whether you swear or not, your days are numbered. God will see your disgrace,” he added.
