“The military is at the centre of oil theft and we have to make this very clear to the Nigerian public that 99 per cent of oil theft can be traced to the Nigerian military, the Army and the Navy especially,” Dokubo told State House correspondents after he met President Bola Tinubu behind closed doors at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
However, he pledged his support to the Federal Government to bring oil theft to “zero,” believing that the Tinubu-led administration would “fish out” the culpable elements in the military.
In April, the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative revealed that Nigeria lost 619.7 million barrels of crude oil valued at N16.25tn to crude oil theft between 2009 and 2020.
Speaking on Friday, Dokubo said oil theft and security framed his nearly two-hour discussion with the President. Nevertheless, the former agitator said he had assured the new administration of his support to ensure “zero” oil theft in the Niger Delta.
He said “Myself and my brothers have assured the President that there will be zero oil theft and vandalization in the Niger Delta."

ReplyDeletehe might not be far from the truth
ReplyDeleteAsari Dokubo promised Tinubu he will prevent oil theft in the Niger Delta. Asari Dokubo is now a security agent in Nigeria. What is the military, the police and other security agencies doing with all the money allocated to them in the Nigerian budget. Tinubu is failing already.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly true dear. He just said what a lot of people are afraid to say. The military is just a cover.
DeleteThey are the real thieves.
I saw him sitting in a position where the Coat of Arm was richly behind his back during a press statement. Then I asked, in what position or capacity was he doing that?
DeleteAnon 11:03,
DeleteEven if he's right, he has no moral standing to cast aspersion on anyone or a thing he's involve ad well. They're all in the criminality together. It's a case of kettle calling pot black..
Tj you so right! They are all criminals.
DeleteThey are bunkering the oil. Please, read his statement or watch the video of his visit. Your ability to type in peace may actually be due to the activities of his boys in about 5 geopolitical zones included all 3 in the North and the South East.
DeleteThe Nigeria navy have challenge ld you to call out their names.
ReplyDeleteGive him his flowers please. For once can Nigerians hear and beleive the truth
ReplyDeleteZendaya
Flower ko??? This his assertion is very vague. If he has the balls, he should mention names of shut up
DeleteWhere is the lie here?
ReplyDeleteHmm I have been privileged to attend some workshops in the Naija Delta, he's not far from the truth.
ReplyDeleteVessels used for stealing oil are big vessels why are they not arrested, who owns them. Abegi leave Nigeria. The big ogas of security agencies like working in SS & boom they are trillionaires
Hope he has strong evidence? Statements without factual evidence are mere assumptions.
ReplyDeleteAsari is a smart criminal investor. Create a problem and promise to proffer solution. Voila! Business done set. He is looking for a contract similar to what Tompolo currently enjoys
ReplyDeleteWike and other Niger delta governors have said the same thing.
