The London Metropolitan Police have released the Founder of DAAR Communications Plc, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, after an “incident” which led to his delay at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday.
The Management of Daar Communications disclosed this in a statement on Monday morning.
According to the statement, which gave details of the incident, “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.”
But the Daar Communications statement did not give much details on the incident which resulted in Dokpesi’s delay.
An online newspaper, The Whistler, had reported that Dokpesi was detained at Heathrow Airport in London.
