UK Police delays AIT Founder, Dokpesi at London Heathrow Airport
The founder of DAAR Communications Limited, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been delayed by the police in the United Kingdom.
It was gathered that the incident happened on Sunday.
The source disclosed that Dokpesi was delayed at London Heathrow Airport.
The reasons for the delay of the media mogul were unknown at press time.
According to media reports, Dokpesi was delayed on Sunday by Immigration after a trip from Frankfurt on a Lufthansa airlines flight that arrived in the UK.
Dokpesi arrived via Frankfurt from Abuja on a Lufthansa airlines flight and was invited off the plane before other passengers disembarked, the source said.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Nigeria had since 2015 charged Dokpesi to court over alleged proceeds of crimes from a former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
Meanwhile, Raymond Dokpesi has been released on Monday morning after his delay at Heathrow airport in London on Sunday, January 8.
This was contained in a statement made available to Punch on Monday morning by the DAAR Communications management.
Giving details of the incident, the statement read, “Dokpesi arrived via Frankfurt from Abuja on a Lufthansa airlines flight and was invited off the plane before other passengers were disembarked.
“Dokpesi was delayed at the airport for some hours before his passport was stamped and he was cleared by British Immigration officials for entry into the country.
“His visit to the United Kingdom is not unconnected to the invitation of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar by the British government to share perspectives on issues around the 2023 presidential elections.
“The media founder is the Deputy Director-General, Technical & Systems of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council.
“Chief Dokpesi wishes to thank all for their outpour of love, prayers and support following the news of the incident and to reassure that he is hale and hearty.”
