Former Niger Delta militant leader and activist, Mujahid Asari‑Dokubo, has issued a stern warning to Boko Haram, declaring that any attempt by the insurgent group to infiltrate Port Harcourt will be met with deadly force.
In a viral video circulating online, Asari‑Dokubo expressed frustration over the growing wave of killings, kidnappings, and terrorist activities spreading across different parts of Nigeria. He vowed that the oil-rich Rivers State would not be allowed to become a playground for insurgents.
According to him, his religious identity will not deter him from defending himself or confronting those who threaten peace.
“If Boko Haram steps foot in Port Harcourt, you already know my work—my business is to eliminate them,” he said. “I’ve confronted them in Zamfara, in Plateau, in Niger. If they come here, I won’t hesitate. I am a Muslim, but if you come to fight me, I will fight back. There is no apology in that.”

Asari-Dokubo described his stance as straightforward and uncompromising, emphasizing that he is not given to subtle or diplomatic rhetoric when it comes to matters of security.
His comments emerge at a time when Nigeria is grappling with a surge in bandit attacks, mass abductions, and terrorist incursions, further fueling debates over the influence of non-state actors in regional security efforts.
