Nnamdi Kanu Is A Criminal – Asari Dokubo Slams IPOB

As the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu had once captivated millions of supporters with his calls for an independent Biafra, but his arrest in 2021 sparked a nationwide outcry and division.

Yet, amid this strife, one outspoken critic has emerged—Asari Dokubo, the fiery leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), a group known for its militant advocacy for the rights of the Niger Delta people. The animosity between Dokubo and Kanu had simmered for years, but it was a recent set of comments from Dokubo that ignited a political firestorm. During an interview with a local news outlet, Dokubo openly labeled Nnamdi Kanu a “criminal” and accused him of manipulating the youth of the Southeast for his own personal gain.

“Anyone who supports Nnamdi Kanu is supporting a criminal,” Dokubo said, his voice firm and unwavering. “Kanu doesn’t care about Biafra; he cares only about himself and his pockets. He uses the innocent blood of our people to advance his selfish agenda.”

The reaction was immediate and intense. Supporters of Kanu, many of whom are members of IPOB, rallied behind their leader, calling Dokubo’s accusations nothing more than a calculated attempt to discredit the Biafran cause. The insults and counter-insults between the two men went viral, spilling into social media where both sides took to spreading their version of the truth.

For Kanu’s supporters, the remarks from Dokubo only served to paint a target on his back, accusing him of aligning with the Nigerian government in efforts to suppress the Biafran independence movement. “Dokubo is a sell-out,” one prominent IPOB member tweeted. “He was never serious about freedom for the Niger Delta, and now he is attacking the one man who has been the voice for the oppressed.”

But to many in the Niger Delta, Dokubo’s criticisms struck a chord. In their eyes, Kanu had gone too far in his pursuit of Biafran secession, disregarding the broader issues of unity and development within Nigeria. They argued that the cries for Biafra had, in many ways, ignored the struggles of other marginalized regions, especially the Niger Delta, where environmental devastation and economic exploitation have been persistent issues for decades.BREAKING NEWS|TAP TO VIEW THE FULL V!DEO, FATHER ARRESTED FOR BEHE4DING HIS 1 YEAH OLD SON AND CAUSING INJURY TO HIS WIFE AND MOTHER IN-LAW.

Dokubo’s remarks were not just a personal attack on Kanu, but an ideological divide. His argument centered around the reality that the Niger Delta’s struggle was fundamentally different from the demands of the Southeast. “We’re not just fighting for an independent state,” Dokubo said in a subsequent rally. “We are fighting for the right to live. The oil of the Niger Delta fuels the nation, yet we remain among the poorest in the country.”

For many, the clash between the two leaders was symbolic of the broader struggles within the country—regional leaders vying for recognition, resources, and a seat at the table. The rift between Kanu’s IPOB and Dokubo’s NDPVF illustrated not just a personal dispute, but a deep ideological rift within the broader Nigerian political and social context.

As the drama continued to unfold, it became clear that both Kanu and Dokubo were not simply leaders of movements; they were symbols of the larger unrest within the country. For Kanu, the fight for Biafra was a mission he would not abandon, no matter the cost. For Dokubo, the battle was about survival—of his people and their future, which, to him, would only be secure through unity, not division.

The situation grew more intense when reports surfaced that the Nigerian government was watching closely, ready to capitalize on the fracture between two of its most formidable foes. Whether the conflict between Kanu and Dokubo would lead to reconciliation, further division, or even a larger political shift, remained to be seen.

In the meantime, as the two leaders continued their public war of words, ordinary Nigerians, from all corners of the country, looked on with a mix of hope, fear, and uncertainty, unsure of what the future held for a nation already so fractured.BREAKING NEWS|TAP TO VIEW THE FULL V!DEO, FATHER ARRESTED FOR BEHE4DING HIS 1 YEAH OLD SON AND CAUSING INJURY TO HIS WIFE AND MOTHER IN-LAW.
