Former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has
described the Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) as a
“faceless” organisation.
He also dismissed the group’s reported plan to resume fresh hostilities to save Christians from Boko Haram violence.
“There is nothing like MEND,” Dokubo-Asari said while fielding
questions from journalists during a visit to the State House on Monday.
MEND, on Sunday said it would from May 31, in an exercise
codenamed Operation Barbarossa, attack mosques and Islamic clerics
But Dokubo-Asari in his reaction, said the current MEND was only a
media creation adding that the authentic one existed as a pressure group
for releasing him and former Bayelsa State Governor Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha from detention.
Dokubo-Asari said, “I am a Muslim, I do not subscribe to attacking
religious centres of worship. I do not believe that MEND exists; I have
always said there is nothing like MEND.
“MEND is just the figment of the imagination of people, it’s on the
Internet and newspapers, but who is MEND? Nobody can really tell you who
MEND is.
“MEND was formed, only for the purpose of my release and that of
Alamieyeseigha when we were in detention. MEND leaders are not known
anywhere like other organisations like the Ijaw Youth Council, OPC and
so on.
“MEND actually is faceless because Henry Okah himself has denied that
he is not the leader of MEND in court under oath” he stated.
HBC: "Boko Haram is Faceless", now you dey here say "MEND is Faceless". This facelessness don dey too much for we naija!
