Alhaji Dokubo Asari, a former Niger Delta militant leader, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of closing his Facebook account.

Asari said that the president sent the Department of State Services (DSS) after him following his critical article against Buhari and his administration.

Former militant speaking through his spokesman, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro, unveiled the statement titled “Buhari and APC: Depotism and the Confiscation of Freedom of Expression: Time Bomb Waiting to Explode.

Ekigbo said the account was inactivated after Dokubo Asari began a serialized article on his Facebook account on the gaffes and hypocrisy of President Buhari.

”Although we are not surprised at this junta’s long awaited modus, it remains a sad commentary that we are back to stone age where press freedom is endangered”.

Ekiugbo said their investigation disclosed that Buhari through his media aides had begun the systematic dismantling of accounts of all strong and key opposition voices in the social media network through frivolous petitions of ‘inciting public unrest and the making of hate speeches’ to management of Facebook in their desperate moves to control the network media space.

Asari Dokubo is a staunch supporter of the immediate past government of the ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.

Before the presidential election he even promised to launch the war if Buhari would win.

Former militant leader recently said that President Buhari’s government has failed to meet the expectation of the people as it lacks any focus to reposition the na­tion. In this interview, he speaks on a lot of issues.
