Nathan Tamarapreye, Yenagoa

The Movement for Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has urged Gov Siminialaye Fubara of Rivers and Chief Asari Dokubo to close ranks to deepen peace and security across Rivers.

The pan-Ijaw socio-cultural group noted that the expertise of Dokubo, a security consultant has already helped to curb acts of insecurity along Emohua/ Degema Road in the state.

MOSIEND said the governor’s collaboration with Dokubo would complement the efforts of the security agencies in curbing security in the area MOSIEND’s appeal is contained in a statement by its national spokesman, Mr Charles Omusuku, and made available on Sunday in Yenagoa.

The group appealed to the governor to dialogue with his kinsman, Dokubo to further harness the potentials of the security outfit in the state.

“The Degema-Emuoha road which also hosts the satellite campus of the University of Port Harcourt had been a notorious playground for armed robbery, kidnappers and assassins, leading to the death of countless innocent Nigerians, such that the security agencies even find it difficult to contend with them at some point until the intervention of the Asari Dukobo security outfit.

“We as MOSIEND consider the security outfit established by a prominent Ijaw leader, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo to complement the security agencies in curbing insecurity within the Emuoha/Degema axis and other parts of the country,” MOSIEND stated.

The group commended Dokubo’s security outfit for saving lives and properties, ensuring sanity along the Ikwerre/Kalabari routes

“The singular move by Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo should be applauded from all quarters at least it is for the general good and safety of our people.

“The security outfit was not formed to cause chaos, but to promote peace and safety of the lives and property,” the statement read in part.

The group noted that Dokubo’s security outfit is helping to provide security, maintain law and order as well as provide an enabling environment for investors and the business community across the area.
