The founder of DAAR Communications Plc High Chief Raymond Dokpesi said he has been released after an incident which saw him delayed on arrival at the London Heathrow airport on Sunday January 8, 2022.

Dokpesi in a statement he personally signed on Monday, explained that he was delayed at the airport for some hours before his passport was stamped and was later cleared by British Immigration officials for entry into the country.

Dokpesi noted that he is hale and hearty, thanking all for their outpouring of love, prayers and support following the news of the incident.

The media mogul added his visit to the United Kingdom was not unconnected to the invitation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, by the British government to share perspectives on issues around Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.

Meanwhile, multiple reports had earlier hinted Dokpesi was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London.

According to the reports, he had boarded a Lufthansa Flight LH916 from Frankfurt to London and was subsequently picked up at Terminal 2 of Heathrow Airport.

A witness to the arrest had said: “We were on a flight from Frankfurt to London and as we are about to arrive London, we were informed that we should all stay on our seat when the aircraft lands and that the Police wanted to do something.

“We were informed that there will be a police operation.

“So when we landed, the police came in and ask who is Raymond Dokpesi and they now took him away.

“He was wearing agbada. He was arrested in London.”
