Oil theft: Asari Dokubo has no moral right to accuse Nigerian military – Maj. Gen. Haruna

VANGUARD

A former Commissioner for Information and Culture, Major General Ibrahim Bata Malgwi Haruna said a former Niger Delta Militants leader, Asari Dokubo does not have the moral right to accuse the Nigerian military of oil theft in the Niger Delta.

Recall that Dokubo while addressing journalists after a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House on Friday, accused the military high command of being complicit in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region.

The ex-militant had claimed that ordinary citizens cannot garner the resources and technology needed to engage in oil bunkering, especially connecting pipes directly to oil heads to tap crude.

Dokubo, who denied having a private security force, said he has been instrumental in quelling the crisis in the Niger and Kaduna axis of the country.

But speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Tuesday morning, General Haruna said people like Asari Dokubu lack the moral right to speak on oil theft in the country unless he wants to apologise to Nigerians.
