Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force (NDPSF), Mujajid Dokubo Asari, has called on the Director General of the State Security Service (SSS) to investigate allegation that he procured suicide bombers to kill former Head of State Major-General Muhammdu Buhari (rtd).
In a letter written to the Director General of SSS by his lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, Dokubo said an online media, Rescue News, had published a news item that he was behind the bomb blasts that exploded last week Wednesday in Kaduna State that killed about eighty-five people and which was allegedly targeted at Buhari and an Islamic cleric, Sheik Dahiru Bauchi.
Dokubo-Asari said he found the allegations too weighty and grave to be ignored or disregarded and that his life as well the lives of his family, close associates and kinsmen had come under threat because of the publication.

The letter read: “While our client has the right to express his views on national issues like any other citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and has done so on many occasions, he has never and will never be involved in a plot to kill a respected former leader like Buhari or anyone for that matter.
“We kindly implore you to use your good offices to thoroughly investigate the allegations leveled against our client by the said Rescue News to curtail the threat, public disenchantment and animosity already created against our client, his family, close associates and kinsmen as a result of these baseless allegations.”

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
