Mum As Dokpesi Is Released After London Airport Arrest
Deputy Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign and founder of DAAR Communications Plc, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been released following his arrest for some hours at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday January 8, 2022.
News of his release was communicated in a statement issued by DAAR Communications obtained by GWG.ng. The statement, however, did not give any clue as to the reason for the airport incident.
The Atiku campaign also has not commented on the issue. Dokpesi 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.”
Meanwhile, the Met police in London had yet to also speak on the reason for the arrest of Dokpesi at the airport.
