Following up her husband's statement, Hajia Mujahidat Daba Dokubo-Asari has stated that no one can arrest her husband.

She says Buhari cannot arrest her husband because Asari Dokubo never held a political position and is thus not accountable for any occurrence during Jonathan's rule.

She wrote on Facebook: “Buhari must start his victimisation of his perceived enemies called probing of missing funds from his own cabinet first and the said probe must take effect from 1978 when Buhari was the petroleum minister anything short of that is unacceptable to the Nigerian populace.

“ The probing must be all round not selective. For those myopic Almajiri fools who blab that Asari will be prosecuted , I’m sorry to disappoint you , Asari has never held any political post so think of something else if your Buhari arrest Asari today, another one thousand Asari will sprang up instantly unless he want to commit genocide in the Niger delta. which you know is not possible in a democratic dispensation."
