HURIWA petitions EU, US, UK, others over Nigerian govt’s failure to arrest Asari-Dokubo

Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has petitioned the European Union, the President of the United States of America, the French President, the British Prime Minister, the German Chancellor and other world leaders over the failure of the Nigerian government to arrest and prosecute former Niger Delta militant leader, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo.

HURIWA had last week, given the Nigerian government a 72-hour ultimatum and also threatened to petition the world leaders if the federal government failed to arrest Asari-Dokubo as there was enough evidence that he was a threat to the Nigerian State and the Nigerian people.

In the petition, the group forwarded to the world leaders on Thursday, HURIWA warned that by refusing to rein in Dokubo, the President Bola Tinubu government was creating a monster who dared the military to arrest him and he would crumble Nigeria’s oil production to zero level.
