Former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo, has accused the Nigerian military of being culpable for 99 percent of oil theft in the country.
Speaking after a private meeting with Bola Tinubu in his office on Friday, Dokubo stated that Tinubu has promised to investigate allegations of huge oil bunkering by notorious naval commanders that are kingpins, and promised to take decisive action to halt the shameful act.
He added that there are powerful cabals operating from Abuja, vowing that these powerful forces in place have now met their match and many people would soon be marching to Kuje, Channels Television reports.
Dokubo also volunteered to use his boys to assist and do the necessary to halt the evil, arguing that ordinary Niger Delta citizens who are often blamed for oil theft are not responsible, as they do not have the wherewithal to perform such sophisticated act of stealing.
He stated further that the manner in which the oil thieves have gone about their criminal activities has stripped the people of the Niger Delta of their livelihood, and it is a crime against humanity.
Dokubo also alleged that it is an act of blackmail for the military to say that they have insufficient armaments to deal with insecurity, accusing them of forfeiting their weapons to the insurgents, which continued to fuel the insurgency.
