Killings: Don't You Have Hands To Defend Yourself, Asari-Dokubo Asks MiddleBelt People

The founder of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has called on the people in the Middle Belt region to stop crying like babies.

"Till today, people in Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Taraba and Kogi states are still eating their cows. Those of us that are not eating their cows are extremists.

"It is shameful that the people of Middle Belt are crying like babies and other people are killing them. Don't they have hands to defend their lives?

"They have every right to defend themselves. They should protect themselves and stop complaining."
