The founder of DAAR Communications Plc High Chief Raymond Dokpesi (PhD) has been freed following his arrest at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday, January 8, 2022.
This was confirmed in a statement released by DAAR Communications management on Monday, January 9, coming barely 24 hours after the reported arrest,
“Dokpesi arrived via Frankfurt from Abuja on a Lufthansa airlines flight and was invited off the plane before other passengers 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.”
Meanwhile, as of the time of filing this report, the UK police are yet to respond to a request made by Punch Metro on the incident.
