THREAT BY THE DEFENCE HEADQUARTERS TO NEUTRALIZE ALHAJI MUJAHID DOKUBO ASARI UNDERMINES DEMOCRATIC SECURITY IN NIGERIA:

By; Rt Hon. Gabriel Patterson Unyeowaji

The Nigerian Defence Headquarters in relation to a comment allegedly made by Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo – Asari, the President/CEO of Royal Fouche Security Limited has threatened to neutralize him by viciously inviting him to a none existent battlefield.

In a press release by Major General Edward Buba, it stated that they will take out Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari. This statement is a threat to democracy as it violates the Constitution of Nigeria. It is only a court of competent jurisdiction that can determine what will happen to any Citizen of the Nigerian State.

The position of the Defence Headquarters without any official investigation of whatever it is that Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari may have said depicts complicity in the event that warranted the comment allegedly made by him. If this issue is approached correctly, the first step is to revisit the comment which is expressly a comment of self defence and homeowners right enshrined in the laws of Nigeria.

If I remember correctly, Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari said that the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike has sent a helicopter that bears no insignia to be hovering specifically over his residence, In Obuama, Rivers State. There is no law in Nigeria that permits any AirCraft to specifically fly or however around a private residence without official permission as it violates the right of the home owner enshrined in the Constitution of Nigeria that protects right to private and family life hence, sailent questions needs to be asked the Defence Headquarters such as:

1. Did the Defence Headquarters order the unmarked Helicopter Gunship to fly or hover specifically over the residence of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari?

2. If yes then for what reasons especially him being a provider of security in assistance to the Federal Government and if no then why the haste to rise in defence of an aircraft that has violated the Constitutional Provisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

3. Why did the Defence Headquarters leave out the complain by Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Asari-Dokubo about the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike is it that they’re protecting him and is it not clear that they’re deliberately after Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo -Asari to murder him given that their statement bears no other humane intellectual argument other than to kill him?

4. Isn’t it possible that there are rogue elements in the ranks and file of the Defense Headquarters otherwise why the threat instead of approaching the issue through an official and diplomatic channel since the AirCraft is in clear violation of the law and if so, is the Defence Headquarters not protecting such rogue elements who could have launched an illegal mission?

The Nigerian Military should know that it does not have parallel governing Authority and Power in this democracy and exercising such unilaterally undermines Nigeria’s Democracy rather the authority and power it exercises comes from the laws of Nigeria as enshrined in the Constitution and the various Acts of the National Assembly and there is nowhere it is empowered to threaten Citizens of the Country especially one who has contributed immensely to the Country security wise.

Again, the Defence Headquarters should channel it’s professional skills of neutralization to tackle the Banditry and Terrorism that has been festering in the North for years. Also it should focus same professional skills of neutralization to recapture the Boko Haram Terrorists that it enrolled into it’s rank and file who has now absconded with sophisticated weapons from the armoury of the military and who are now at large and a source of severe danger to a large catchment of our civilian population.

Finally the Military should not involve themselves in politics of Rivers State or Nigeria in general but should remain neutral. The situation in Rivers State allows Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo- Asari to be conscious of security of his life and that of his loved ones, therefore it is vexatious for any Aircraft whether Military or Civilian to be hovering over his residence specifically. Hence, it is out of place to threaten him over whatever he says (having a right to freedom of speech) in relation to the danger and insecurity to himself and his people triggered by that unmarked Aircraft.

On this note it will be in order if Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo – Asari files for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights against the Defence Headquarters because it has no right to act anyhow or recklessly. Also the attention of the National Assembly especially the Senate Committee on Defence is to be called to invite representatives of the Defence Headquarters for questioning. We are in a Democracy not in a Military regime and as such no agency of Government can hold the country to ransom.

Dr. Bernard Shiaunda Eete Mobilizes Loyalists Ahead of Kenya’s General Election

 

Ahead of Kenya’s 2027 general election, Nyanza ODM aspirant Dr. Bernard Shiaunda Eete, popularly known as Dumex3, has intensified grassroots mobilization by holding a strategic meeting with his loyalists across the region. The gathering was aimed at aligning his team, refining campaign strategies, and positioning the movement for a decisive outcome at the polls.

 

The meeting provided an important platform for open consultation, idea exchange, and consensus building. Dr. Eete emphasized the need for unity, discipline, and clear communication as the campaign enters a critical phase. According to attendees, the discussions focused on strengthening the political structure on the ground, addressing community concerns, and ensuring that the movement remains responsive to the aspirations of the people.

 

A key focus was Dr. Eete’s developmental agenda for Nyanza. He outlined his commitments to education, youth empowerment, healthcare access, and infrastructure development, noting that these areas remain central to transforming lives in the region. He urged his loyalists to carry the message to the grassroots, explaining both what has been achieved so far and what the region stands to gain if they rally behind his candidacy.

 

“This is not just about winning an election. It’s about building a stronger, united political movement that delivers real change for our people,” Dr. Eete told the gathering. He called on his supporters to remain focused, avoid divisive rhetoric, and engage voters with facts about his track record and plans.

Mayor of Brampton Honours Olajumoke Abegunde For Charitable Works 

…Foundation Touches Over 8,000 Women, Widows, and Youth in Ondo State…..

…Collaborates with International Partners for Free Skill Acquisition in Canada…

 

 

For Chief Mrs. Olajumoke Abegunde, the act of touching lives positively and contributing meaningfully to societal development is not merely a pastime but a deeply ingrained existential mandate. With unwavering gusto, she has remained faithful to this noble vision, championing the esoteric principle that cheerful giving and advocacy for the downtrodden are responsibilities too sacred to be left exclusively in the hands of the government.

 

This resolute philosophy has not only engendered transformative impact within her immediate locality but has also catapulted her onto the global stage. Recently, her passionate charitable exertions—executed both within and outside the shores of Nigeria—earned her prestigious international recognition.

 

A Legacy of Grassroots Transformation

 

As the visionary founder of the Jummy I Care Foundation, Chief Mrs. Abegunde has systematically dismantled barriers of vulnerability across Ondo State. Through sustained philanthropic gestures, she has disbursed extensive humanitarian relief and social assistance to over 3,000 indigent widows and elderly persons. In parallel, her foundation has galvanized robust support for orphaned and vulnerable children while orchestrating an ambitious women’s empowerment programme. To date, over 5,000 women have benefited from skills acquisition and income-generating activities designed to cultivate self-reliance and entrepreneurial audacity. Many of these beneficiaries have also received start-up seed capital to establish their own enterprises.

 

A proud alumna of Criminology and Security Studies from the National Open University of Nigeria, Chief Mrs. Abegunde has also distinguished herself as a patron of youth development. She has sponsored numerous essay writing and entrepreneurship competitions across Ondo State, in addition to funding medical outreaches, orphanage interventions, Iftar and Easter entrepreneurship programmes, and sustained feeding initiatives for the less privileged.

 

Her core philosophy remains immutable: when those who are well-to-do invest strategically in their immediate society, the collective becomes safer, more stable, and poised for greater heights.

 

International Collaboration and Brampton Honour

 

In a decisive move to intensify her developmental footprint, the Jummy I Care Foundation recently entered into a strategic tripartite collaboration with the Habeeb Okunola Foundation and the MakeMee Elegant Foundation. Together, they delivered a gratuitous, high-impact skill acquisition training programme to residents of Brampton, Canada.

 

Participants were immersed in an array of artisan crafts, including the production of resin bags, photo books, picture otters, resin key holders and frame holders, ornamental flower vases, rhinestone embellishment, and the advanced technique of printing images on fabrics.

 

In a ceremonial recognition of her sustained benevolence, the Mayor of Brampton formally hosted Chief Mrs. Abegunde and her delegation at the mayor’s office. The mayor personally expressed profound gratitude for her unwavering support of community development and entrepreneurship. As a tangible emblem of this appreciation, she was presented with a personally signed certificate of appreciation and commendation.

 

Unwavering Commitment to the Future

 

While accepting the honour, Chief Mrs. Olajumoke Abegunde reaffirmed her immutable resolve. She declared that her commitment to touching lives remains absolute and non-negotiable. According to her, she will not relent in ensuring that more lives are touched, more support is channeled to the people, and greater stability is secured for communities. She further emphasized her dedication to cultivating the spirit of entrepreneurship among women and youths as a cornerstone for sustainable development.

 

With over 8,000 direct beneficiaries in Nigeria alone and an expanding international footprint, Chief Mrs. Abegunde stands as a formidable testament to the profound change one determined philanthropist can effectuate when passion meets purpose.

APM Senatorial Candidate Ajadi Distributes Over 500 Bags of Rice

 

The Senatorial candidate of Oyo Central Senatorial District under the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has distributed over 500 bags of rice to residents, party members, state executives, and key stakeholders across Oyo State ahead of the forthcoming Eid al-Adha celebration.

The gesture, which forms part of his annual humanitarian outreach, was aimed at easing economic hardship and strengthening unity among party executives, party members, and residents within the senatorial district during the festive period.

Ajadi said the distribution was a continuation of his commitment to supporting vulnerable households and fostering community solidarity, especially at a time when many families are facing rising food prices and economic pressure.

He explained that Eid al-Adha is rooted in sacrifice, sharing, and compassion, adding that political leadership must consistently reflect empathy for the people, regardless of political affiliation or election cycles.

According to him, the intervention was extended to party executives, grassroots mobilizers, youth groups, and key stakeholders across the senatorial district to ensure equitable distribution across different segments of the political structure in Oyo State.

Ajadi further noted that the initiative was designed to complement household food needs during the festive season, stressing that small acts of support can significantly ease the burden on families affected by economic challenges.
He urged political leaders at all levels to prioritize welfare-driven initiatives that have direct impact on citizens, emphasizing that leadership should go beyond campaigns to sustained service delivery and humanitarian engagement.

Beneficiaries of the rice distribution expressed appreciation for the gesture, describing it as timely and thoughtful amid rising food costs across the country.

They commended Ajadi for maintaining close contact with grassroots members and consistently demonstrating what they described as people-oriented leadership.

The distribution exercise was carried out across selected locations within Oyo Central Senatorial District and coordinated through local party structures to ensure fairness and orderly sharing.

Political observers in the state noted that such interventions have become a key feature of political engagement in Nigeria, particularly during festive seasons, as politicians seek to connect with constituents beyond electoral promises.

As the Eid al-Adha celebration approaches, Ajadi reaffirmed his commitment to continuing similar initiatives aimed at supporting families and promoting unity among residents of Oyo State.
