In a recent video shared on Facebook on Thursday, March 12, 2026, Niger Delta activist and traditional ruler, Asari Dokubo, commented on statements regarding the role of Muslims in global security, emphasizing the importance of fairness and accountability in the way communities are treated.
Dokubo addressed claims suggesting that Muslim involvement in security services has been questioned by foreign authorities, highlighting what he described as unfair generalizations against entire religious groups.
According to Dokubo, “If Muslims are bad, don’t take us as security men any longer; go find your own people.”He made the statement while criticizing rhetoric that singles out Muslim individuals for bias or discrimination, insisting that competence and integrity should determine involvement in security roles, not religion.
He argued that the participation of Muslims in national and international security operations reflects professionalism, discipline, and commitment, and that labeling entire groups as “bad” is both inaccurate and harmful. Dokubo warned that such generalizations deepen mistrust between communities and governments and undermine social cohesion.
The activist further emphasized that fair treatment and equal opportunity are essential for stability in security services. He suggested that political and public discourse must distinguish between the actions of individuals and the beliefs of entire communities, cautioning against sweeping judgments based on religion alone.
Dokubo concluded by calling on leaders and citizens to focus on competence and accountability in matters of security, rather than perpetuating stereotypes. He stressed that inclusive practices and respect for diversity are vital to maintaining peace, order, and trust in institutions.
