Asari Dokubo Says DSS Has Shutdown His Facebook Account.

Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Front (NDPSF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari has accused the Department of State Security Services (DSS) of hacking into his Facebook account and disabling it.

In a statement delivered to the media on Monday, September 21m 2015, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro, spokesman for Dokubo, said that the Facebook account of Asari Dokubo has been disabled by the DSS which serves as Nigeria’s Secret Police.

The statement titled, Buhari and APC: Depotism and the Confiscation of Freedom of Expression: Time Bomb Waiting to Explode, the former Niger Delta warlord said, “The eclipse of freedom of expression is now abysmally manifest.”

Dokubo alleged the this clampdown by the DSS is part of a planned operation to arrest and detain opposition politicians, especially those operating on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. He says he had began a serialized article disseminated via his Facebook page detailing the gaffes and hypocrisy of President Muhammadu 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,” Dokubo said.

The statement says that investigations revealed that President 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.
