Update: Dokpesi Released After Arrest At Heathrow Airport London

By Akinwale Kasali

Chairman and Founder of Daar Communications, Dr Raymond Dokpesi, has been released by the United Kingdom Police Authority following an incident that occurred at the Heathrow Airport, London, and led to his arrest.

The News about his arrest had gone viral with different narrations and interpretations given to the arrest.

But the Daar Communications Management in a Statement Monday, January 9th, 2023, gave details of what transpired at the Airport.

The Statement read in part: “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.”

The statement, however, did not give much details on what led  to his delay at the Airport.
