DAAR Communications Plc has confirmed the release of its founder, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi following his arrest for some hours at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday.
The development was contained in a statement issued and made available to Theliberationnews.
As gathered by Theliberationnews, Dokpesi who doubles as the Deputy Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign is in London as part of an engagement between the PDP candidate and the British Government.
The statement from DAAR Communications read thus:
“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.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Met police in London and the PDP Presidential Campaign Council had yet to make a statement about Dokpesi’s arrest.
