Today, Tuesday, November 26, 2013, my friend and client, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, around the hours of 1:00pm and 2:00pm by the country’s gendarmes (Police Force).
He was picked up around the Lubeleyi roundabout and taken to an unknown destination. We want to emphasise that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now. In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country. All these places have been searched as at this evening and nothing incriminating was found.
We call on the Nigerian
government to immediately intervene and ensure that no harm befalls Alhaji
Dokubo-Asari and to use all diplomatic means to secure his immediate release
and safe return to Nigeria.
Meanwhile, we shall be liaising
immediately with our colleagues in that country to enforce his fundamental
rights.
Thank you.
FESTUS
KEYAMO, ESQ.
