Former militant leader Asari Dokubo has sparked controversy after being seen offering water to his recruits in a viral video shared by Izon-Ijaw TV. The video, which has garnered significant attention on social media, shows Dokubo handing out water to a group of young men, raising questions about the purpose of his gathering and the nature of his recruitment.
Critics on social media expressed concerns about the legality of the situation, with many questioning why such activities are allowed in a country governed by law. Some users mocked the scene, labeling it an "open initiation," while others raised alarms about the health risks posed by sharing the same cup among the recruits. Comments pointed to the spread of infectious diseases like hepatitis B, with concerns about the unhygienic practices on display.
Many have also voiced frustrations over the political landscape in Nigeria, drawing comparisons between Dokubo's actions and the treatment of other activists such as Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho. The video has ignited debates about poverty, illiteracy, and the government's role in allowing such groups to operate without repercussions.
