Police Arrest Doyin Dokpesi in London

Raymond Dokpesi, the founder and former chairman of DAAR Communications Plc, was arrested at London Heathrow Airport on Sunday evening as he arrived from a flight via Frankfurt.

The reasons for Dokpesi’s arrest are unclear at this time, and he was reportedly still at the airport on Monday morning.

The Scotland Yard has not yet commented on the arrest.

Dokpesi was reportedly planning to meet with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, in London for a political meeting.

It should be noted that another key PDP politician, Ike Ekweremadu, has been detained in London since June 2022 on charges of organ trafficking and is set to go to trial on January 31.
