Charly Boy slams Asari Dokubo over threat against hardship protesters; CLO questions his popularity in Rivers
A renowned populist advocate, Charly Boy Area Fada 1, on Wednesday, slammed the leader of the defunct militant Niger Delta Patriotic Front (NDPF), Asari Dokubo, for issuing a threat against protesters mobilising for mass action against hardship and suffering in the country.
Charly Boy reaffirmed his support for the Nigerian youths to engage in the nationwide protest.
Asari Dokubo, who admitted collecting money from the government to declare his opposition to the nationwide protest commencing on Thursday, August 1, dared protesters not to extend their activities to the Niger Delta, threatening to resist protest in the region.

According to Asari Dokubo, “If anybody has the right to protest, I also have the right to resist the protest. Where your right stops is where my right begins. I am anti-protest.
“People will say they have given him money, that’s why he talking this way. Oya now, go take your own, me don take my own.
‘Those who brought anti-sars people… they collected from me wotowoto.
“We must not allow them to bring anarchy here.
“But if you get strong head, you bring gam.
“If you do any how, you will see any how…”

Meanwhile, the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), Rivers State Chapter, has questioned the popularity and influence of Asari Dokubo in Rivers State.
CLO spokesman in the state, Livingston Nwechie, speaking on a radio programme on Wednesday, dismissed the popularity and influence of Asari Dokubo on youths in Rivers State, saying that he is only known and obeyed by his boys.
There has been disquiet over the threat of violence against protesters by the former militant leader. Several stakeholders wonder while the Police nor the Nigerian Army had not arrested or invited Asari Dokubo for interrogation over his threat to peaceful protest.
