Asari Dokubo, a Niger Delta agitator has accused the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, of demolition a mosque in Trans-Amadi area Port Harcourt.
The Rivers State government had said that the land where the alleged mosque was cited is a disputed area of which it won litigation over it in court.
Dokubo in a video recording described the governor’s action as dastardly, adding that the governor was lying as there was an existing mosque at Trans-Amadi.
“I am a member of the congregation of the Trans Amadi Central Mosque. That is where I pray with my family.
“I alone have 21 children, but I live with 59 children of other people. The bulk of them prays.
“Wike claiming that there was no mosque, is a lie. He is lying and you know it, Wike you are lying. If there was no mosque why did you go there? We legally acquired the land for the mosque from Dr Sotonye Amadi.
“The Christian group acquired their own part of the land and built their own churches, but he did not demolish their churches.
“Why did you and your brother, Rotimi Amaechi, singled out our mosque to demolish and to prevent us from building. The person who acquired the land for the mosque is an Okrika Ijaw man and this land was acquired legally from Chief Dr Edward Sotonye Amadi.
“Why is this mosque a problem for you? The first signatory to this agreement for the transfer of title like I said, was an Okrika Muslim, Alhaji Ali Ibiorika. I was a member of the congregation,” Mr Dokubo added.
“Which Rivers Muslim has killed anybody or burnt any church? Which Rivers Christian has been assaulted badly. Name them and bring them so that we can shame them. Islam is bigger than you and there is nothing you can do about it,” he added.
