In a recent video shared on Facebook on Monday, February 16, 2026, Niger Delta activist and Kalabari chieftain, Asari Dokubo, responded strongly to attacks and vandalism carried out by supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra in parts of Rivers State following a violent incident in Port Harcourt.
According to Dokubo, “You cannot threaten us, destroy our properties, and go scot-free,” as he condemned the violence targeting residents, businesses, and places of worship. He insisted that such actions would not be tolerated.
Dokubo stated that Rivers State residents will not allow their communities to be used as a platform for external conflicts. According to him, criminal acts, whether motivated by ethnic, political, or religious reasons, must be addressed through law enforcement and not through vigilante actions.

The activist also warned that attempts to provoke Rivers residents into retaliatory violence would be firmly resisted. According to him, those carrying out attacks should be prepared to face legal consequences for their actions.
