It is being speculated that President Jonathan has personally intervened to release the arrested former Niger Delta militant Asari Dokubo, and sent a Presidential Jet to ferry him back to Abuja after his 72 hour detention by unknown men in Benin Republic.
 
According to the information, Beninoise President Yayi Boni fielded a telephone call from President Jonathan and ordered the release of the embattled ex-militant with a sprawling business empire in Benin Republic.


There is no word yet on why Dokubo was arrested in the first instance, who was behind the arrest and real reasons why he was arrested.
