DAAR Communication owners of AIT and Raypower have released a statement
over the arrest of their Chairman, Raymond Dokpesi. Find the statement after the cut...
On Monday Nov 30, 2015 whilst attending the 70th birthday celebration of
former Minister and PDP stalwart, Professor Jerry Gana, the Chairman
Emeritus of DAAR Communications Plc. received a telephone call from the
Ag. Chairman of EFCC Ibrahim Magu inviting him to the visit the EFCC
Headquarters to provide some clarifications and documentation regarding
some transactions involving the Office of the erstwhile NSA during the
2015 Presidential election campaigns.
On Tuesday Dec 1, 2015 around 2.00pm, High Chief Aleogho Dokpesi honored
the verbal telephone invitation and voluntarily drove himself to the
EFCC Headquarters in the company of his son, Raymond Dokpesi Jr and a
legal representative of the Chambers of Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, in the
person of Barrister Justin Omogbemeh. It is pertinent to state that the
contrary to news reports, he wasn't arrested nor was he even formally
invited, as there is no letter of invitation.
At the commission, he was requested to shed more light on some payments
that were made to him through the office of the erstwhile National
Security Officer to the former President, Mallam Sambo Dasuki.
High Chief Aleogho Dokpesi made his statement on the various media
exposures and campaign transactions, which were dutifully carried out
across most broadcast, print and social media in and outside Nigeria.
Surprisingly, rather than been allowed to go home, a free man, or at
most on administrative bail, in self recognizance, High Chief Dokpesi
was kept by EFCC operatives, with onerous bail conditions imposed for
his release. It is theses conditions that we are now attempting to
perfect for his immediate release.
Signed
Raymond Dokpesi, Jnr
For the Dokpesi Family
