Former frontline Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo has outlandishly described himself as an Islamist and a jihadist.
Dokubo disclosed this while speaking about his religious beliefs, noting that the name he now bears reflects his faith and personal convictions.
In a video that has since gone viral, Dokubo said: “I’m a Jihadist, my name is Mujahed, he who carries out Jihad, that is what it means in Arabic.”
The former militant leader explained that the name represents an identity he consciously adopted.
“That is the name I adopted,” he said.
Dokubo reaffirmed his commitment to Islam, noting that he practices the religion without apology or fear.
“Listen to me very well, I’m an Islamist, I’m a Muslim without apologist and fear,” he added.
Dokubo is reputed for being outspoken on burning national issues and that of the Niger Delta.
