In a recent video shared on Facebook on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, a former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has alleged that those responsible for the recent killing of his people have been identified, claiming that a confession has already been obtained from one of the suspects.
Dokubo made the assertion while addressing supporters during a gathering in the South-South region, where he spoke strongly against what he described as targeted attacks on his community. In a video circulating on social media, he declared, “We know those who killed our people. There is a confession that you killed four people.”
Although he did not disclose specific names or provide details of the alleged confession, Dokubo insisted that the evidence in their possession clearly points to those involved in the killings. He warned that justice would be pursued and vowed that those responsible would not escape accountability.
The former militant leader expressed frustration over what he described as repeated attacks and a lack of decisive action from relevant authorities. According to him, the lives lost were innocent members of his community, and their deaths have caused deep pain and anger among residents.
Dokubo further stated that his group would not fold its arms while their people are being targeted. He called on security agencies to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident, emphasizing that the truth must be made public.
While reiterating his commitment to defending his community, he urged members to remain vigilant but not to take the law into their own hands. He stressed that any response must be guided by justice rather than revenge.
Security agencies in the region have yet to issue an official statement regarding Dokubo’s claims at the time of filing this report. However, the allegations are expected to heighten tensions in an area already grappling with security challenges.
Observers say the situation underscores the need for swift intervention by authorities to prevent further escalation. Community leaders have also appealed for calm, urging all parties to allow investigations to proceed without interference.
