Military Laughs At Asari Dokubo’s Threat To Shoot Down Fighter Aircrafts

The Nigerian Armed Forces have warned Asari Dokubo, an ex-Niger Delta agitator to stop threatening to bring down aircrafts belonging to the military.

The military also described his threat as laughable, saying the militant leader has no capacity to destroy a military fighter  jet.

Major General Edward Buba, spokesman for the Defence Headquarter gave the warning while speaking to journalists on Thursday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The warning followed a recent threat by Dokubo to fire at any military aircraft monitoring his residence in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

He had in a viral video threatened that he has the ‘capacity” to bring down any military aircraft monitoring his movement.

Dokubo, claimed, in the  video on Saturday, that two helicopters had been hovering over his home and compound for over 30 minutes, describing the act as a  provocation.

He accused the security forces of working for the immediate past Governor of Rivers state to monitor his movement, adding that he cannot be silenced.

Dokubo: “I have the capacity to contain them,” Dokubo said, asserting his ability to resist any form of intimidation from authorities.

“Nigeria cannot surrender to Wike, Rivers people will not surrender to Wike, Ijaw people will not surrender to Wike.

“I have never been afraid of death. I’ve always embraced death, so I am not afraid of death. Wike is nobody.

“I didn’t go and look for the helicopter to shoot them down. I will shoot down the helicopter. I swear by Allah that I will shoot down the helicopter.”

The activist believes that the FCT minister is working in cahoots with security forces to destabilize the state.
