The Department of State Security is
consistently being criticised for seemingly going too easy on Niger
Delta militants like Asari Dokubo who are in the habit of making threats
against Nigeria. For instance, Asari has recently been making
statements threatening war if Pres. Goodluck Jonathan dos not win the
general elections next week. Nigerians have been wondering why despite
statements like that Asari Dokubo was not being interrogated or arrested
by the agency.
The DSS has however said that it had invited and questioned Asari Dokubo several times over his comments.
The spokesperson of the DSS, Marilyn
Ogar, disclosed this while responding to a question at a news conference
organised by the National Information Centre.
“First of all, whatever is the
operational procedures that we take after we have issued out warnings,
we do not make them public. And I want you to recollect that
Asari-Dokubo has been brought into the office – DSS, a couple of
times. It is not in the position of the office to begin to tell you who
has been brought in or who has not been brought in. We still stand by
our words that whoever in any way would want to interfere or interrupt
the peace that prevails, he or she would definitely be dealt with,’’
Ogar said.
