Chief Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications Limited, has reportedly been released from Police custody in the United Kingdom after an “incident” which led to his delay at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday January 8, 2022. DAAR Communications management in a statement on Monday morning said Dokpesi had been released. According to the statement, “Dokpesi arrived via Frankfurt from Abuja on a Lufthansa airline light 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 People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, by the British government to share perspective 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.”
