Founder of the defunct Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has lambasted those saying that Bini people founded Lagos.
Recall that the argument over the ownership of Lagos was reignited after the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, visited Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, last Sunday.
In his address, the traditional ruler had been quoted to have said that, ‘’It is in the history books that the Binis founded Lagos.”

The Oba’s statement had sparked reactions among Lagosians and Nigerians, which have forced some people to register their voices on the matter.
The Balogun of Eko, Abisoye Oshodi, was the first Lagos indigene to publicly fault the claim by the Oba of Benin.
But reacting to the issue via a viral video, on Thursday, Alhaji Dokubo said what the monarch had succeeded in doing was sharing ‘parasitic history’.
Alhaji Dokubo said the Bini people never founded Lagos, but added the history recorded that Benin Army attacked Lagos Island at a time.
The former Niger Delta militant said the Army just attacked the Island, not the entire Lagos which included spread to the hinterland of the modern Lagos.
