Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, who was arrested on Tuesday in Cotonou, Benin Republic has been released around 1am on Thursday . This was possible as a result of President Goodluck Jonathan's intervention. His lawyer, Festus Keyamo, confirmed his release.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, cleared the air about the rumour he regarded as “blackmail and mischief”. Rumour has it that President Goodluck sent down his presidential jet to convey Asari to Abuja from Benin Republic where he was detained. Dr Abati in an interview with State House correspondents said the report was an attempt by some people to package lies as the truth hoping that gullible people would believe them.
