It is one of the lies that is keeping Nigeria down and that ruin Nigeria for Professor Abiodun to indicate that the allegation against the military by Asari Dokubo for bunkering is not in order. If we must have Nigeria survive the next decade, then we have to stop these criminal massaging of truth by the so-called Nigerian elite. If you remove the Nigerian military (army, navy, Airforce) and the Nigeria Police from the waters and get contractors (some Nigerian owned security guard companies) who can be held accountable and can easily be made to pay for wrongs, bunkering would be reduced to inconsequential levels in the first one to two years.
