Former militant leader and Niger Delta activist, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has issued a stern warning to Boko Haram fighters, declaring that he will confront and kill any terrorist who attempts to operate in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
In a viral video circulating on Tuesday, Asari-Dokubo reacted to the rising wave of killings and kidnappings across the country, saying he would not hesitate to take up arms if his community is threatened. He stressed that his religious faith would not prevent him from defending himself.
“If Boko Haram comes to Port Harcourt, you know sey my business na to kill them,” he said. “I dey Zamfara dey kill them, I dey Plateau dey kill them, I dey Niger dey kill them. If they come to Port Harcourt, my business is to kill them.
“This thing I’m telling you is raw. I’m not like those people who do sisi sisi, this and that, apologetic. I am a Muslim. If you come to fight me, I will kill you. That one is no compromise.”
His remarks have reignited debate over his influence in ongoing security operations and his longstanding involvement in militant activities in the Niger Delta. Analysts say his growing visibility in national security conversations raises questions about the role of non-state actors in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
