Atiku: UK police release Dokpesi
Chairman of DAAR Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, has been released by police authorities in the United Kingdom following his arrest on Sunday morning.
News of his release was contained in a statement by Mr Dokpesi’s media group which only stated that his clearance was briefly delayed for undisclosed reasons.
“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,” said the statement.
Mr Dokpesi is the deputy director-general (technical and systems) of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council.
The statement added, “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.”
