Edi Abali Group Raises Alarm Over Security Threat To Ancestral Home, Assets Of Ahaji Dokubo-Asari By Military

The Edi Abali Group has expressed concern about a security threat to the ancestral home and assets of
Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, the Paramount Ruler of Edi Abali Group of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses in the Kalabari Kingdom of Rivers State, by the military.
According to a public notice issued by the Edi Abali Group, credible intelligence has revealed plans by elements of the 103 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Obuama to provoke a confrontation and disrupt the peace in the area.
The notice states that the plot is aimed specifically at Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who is currently out of the country. The army allegedly intends to use his absence to instigate a crisis that could be falsely blamed on community members, resulting in attacks on innocent people. The Edi Abali Group confirms that there are no conflicts between their community, the army, and Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari or his company, Royal Fouche Services Limited.
According to the notice, tensions arose after Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari spoke out about the involvement of some Nigerian Army personnel in oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta. These activities allegedly deprived the government of much-needed revenue, causing dissatisfaction among these elements. The group believes that they are deliberately inciting a crisis involving Royal Fouche Services personnel to justify an attack on innocent Kalabari indigenes, particularly in Obuama, where Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari and the 103 Battalion are stationed.
Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide stated:
“The army in Obama is aware of his absence from the country and intends to use it to incite a crisis that will be falsely attributed to community members, resulting in attacks on innocent people.”
The Edi Abali Group urges the Nigerian Army to be aware of this plot and not be duped into jeopardising peace and security in the region. They also highlight Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari and Royal Fouche Services Limited’s successful collaboration with security agencies in the fight against terrorism, kidnapping, and insurgency.
The group intends to inform the public, as well as the people of Kalabari and Rivers State, about the planned provocation against innocent people, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari.
They emphasise his determination to assist President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara’s Rivers State Governments in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.
According to Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide, Secretary Edi Abali, Group of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses: “We want the public, particularly the people of Kalabari and Rivers State, to be aware of this planned provocation against innocent people, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who remains committed to assisting the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and the Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.”
