How Can The Olu Of Warri’s Palace Issue A Statement And Call Me A Monster? – Asari Dokubo

Niger Delta activist and traditional ruler, Asari Dokubo, has expressed displeasure over a statement reportedly issued by the palace of the Olu of Warri, questioning why he was allegedly described as a “monster.”

Dokubo made his concerns known in a video shared on Facebook on Friday, October 9, 2026, during which he challenged the reported characterisation and demanded an explanation for the language he said had been used against him.

In the video, the activist appeared dissatisfied with the alleged description, particularly because it was reportedly associated with the palace of a prominent traditional ruler. He questioned the basis for such a remark and expressed his objection to being portrayed in that manner.

Speaking during the discussion, Dokubo said, “How can the Olu of Warri’s palace issue a statement and call me a monster?”

His reaction centred on the reported statement and the implications of the description, which he considered objectionable. He questioned why an institution associated with traditional leadership would use such language about him.

Dokubo used the opportunity to express his disagreement with the alleged portrayal, making it clear that he wanted an explanation for the words reportedly attributed to the palace.

The Niger Delta activist’s comments also brought attention to the disagreement surrounding his relationship with the traditional institution and the statements reportedly made about him.

However, the specific circumstances that led to the alleged description were not fully established in the account of the video.

The development comes amid wider public discussions involving traditional institutions, prominent personalities and the role of royal palaces in addressing disagreements.

Statements attributed to traditional rulers or their representatives can attract considerable attention because of the cultural significance and influence associated with such institutions.
