N81 billion NDDC IMC mismanagement, mere pick-pocketing – Asari Dokubo

Igbo artisans reject Asari's Biafra declaration, calls him betrayal

The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, Asari Dokubo has said the alleged mismanagement of N81 billion by the interim management committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), is mere pickpocketing and nothing compared to what Nigerians from other regions “are stealing” from the Niger Delta people.

Dokubo in a video likened the current probe of the agency as that of a man calling the police to report a pickpocketing case he witnessed while armed robbers are breaking into his house.

“We are talking about N81 billion being pick-pocketed from Niger Delta while the bulk of our money, our resources are being carted away and we are not talking,” Dokubo said.

“They want me to run after pickpocketers and leave armed robbers that are coming into my house. When they talk about (Godswill) Akpabio, tell them about (Abubakar) Malami, when they talk about Joy (Nunieh), tell them about Sadiya (Umar Farouq), when they talk about any senator, tell them about (Ibrahim) Magu.”
