Aged 71 years, Dokpesi is a native of Edo State.

He is the second high profile Nigerian Politician to be arrested by the UK Police under one year. In June 2022, former Deputy President of the Senate, Dr Ike Ekweremadu, was arrested at the same airport, alongside his wife, Dr Beatrice Ekweremadu. Both were taken into custody on allegations of organ harvesting. They, allegedly, facilitated the trip of a homeless 21- year old Nigerian to London for the purpose of harvesting his kidney to save the life of their daughter, Sonia, who is suffering from a rare Kidney disease.

Both of them, a Nigerian medical doctor based in London, and Sonia, are under prosecution.

While Mrs Ekweremadu has been granted bail, the former Senate President and the doctor were refused bail. The Judge, inspite of documents and written letters of  reassurances, including one signed by the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, insist Ekweremadu is a flight risk.

At the time of filing this report, Dr Dokpesi’s alleged offence has not been made public.
