Asari Dokubo Accuses Olu of Warri of ₦2.7 Trillion Pipeline Deal

Asari Dokubo, a Niger Delta ex-militant leader, alleged that the Olu of Warri and Osahon Idahosa are collectively receiving ₦2.7 trillion annually for contracts related to pipeline protection. In a video, Dokubo defended Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, who has faced criticism for earning less despite providing similar services.

Dokubo stated that the criticism directed at Tompolo is unjust, highlighting that the Olu of Warri and Osahon Idahosa are not being scrutinized due to their ethnic backgrounds. He argued that contracts intended for the Niger Delta should not be awarded to individuals or companies from other regions, as this would convert regional resources into private wealth for the beneficiaries.

Additionally, Dokubo mentioned observing a vessel with the initials “OUK,” which he linked to former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, suggesting further implications regarding the management of resources in Nigerian waters.
