Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has openly described himself as both an Islamist and a jihadist.

Dokubo made the statement while discussing his religious beliefs, explaining that the name he currently bears reflects his faith and personal convictions.

In a video that has circulated widely online, Dokubo said: “I’m a Jihadist, my name is Mujahed, he who carries out Jihad, that is what it means in Arabic.”

The former militant leader noted that the name represents an identity he deliberately chose for himself.

“That is the name I adopted,” he said.

Dokubo further stressed his dedication to Islam, saying he practices the religion openly and without fear or apology.

“Listen to me very well, I’m an Islamist, I’m a Muslim without apologist and fear,” he added.

Dokubo is widely known for his outspoken views on national matters, particularly issues affecting the Niger Delta.
