Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo‑Asari, Dabaye Amakiri I and Amayanabo of The Source, Elem Kalabari, has revealed that he has not received payment for 44 months despite men under his command operating on the frontlines in Imo State and suffering injuries and deaths.
Speaking in an interview with THE SUN on Sunday, March 29 2026, Dokubo‑Asari said his group has been deployed in Imo since 2021 and remains there permanently, not merely for election duties.
