Unmarked Helicopter Spark Alarm in Obuama, Rivers State
Global News Reports That Obuama, Rivers State – A youth leader in Obuama has raised concerns over a mysterious unmarked helicopter flying over the home of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, Alabo Edi-Abali of Kalabari Kingdom.
On Saturday, during Local Government elections, two unmarked helicopters with armed men flew low over Obuama and Dokubo-Asari’s residence. Another helicopter appeared today.
Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region, has been a longstanding advocate for resource control and minority rights. As the leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), he has fought tirelessly for the rights of the Ijaw people and other marginalized communities. He is also a close and long-standing friend of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Residents, including the elderly, are uneasy as the town is typically peaceful and hosts an army formation. The unknown affiliation and mission of the helicopters have sparked anxiety.
