The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, who was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic during the week, has confirmed that President Goodluck Jonathan intervened on his behalf to secure his release as originally reported by SaharaReporters.
Mr. Dokubo arrived Abuja on Friday night and told reporters, and some of his supporters that he arrest was as a result of his purported links with Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group based in Northern Nigeria.
Alhaji Dokubo denied reports stating that a Presidential jet was sent to bring him back to Nigeria after his release. He further claimed that his ordeal was in connection with his support for the re-election bid of President Jonathan in 2015.
