Dokpesi released after questioning at London airport

The founder of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, has been released after he was delayed at the Heathrow Airport in London, the United Kingdom on Sunday.

This was made known via a statement issued in the early hours of Monday by the management of DAAR Communications.

The company noted that Dokpesi travelled to London to meet the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who was invited by the British government over the 2023 general election.

It stated: “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 election.

“The media founder is the Deputy Director-General, Technical and 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,” DAAR Communications noted.
