The London Metropolitan Police has responded to the arrest and release of the founder of DAAR Communications Plc, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of rape.
Dokpesi was in the UK in connection with a visit by the British government to the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
He was delayed at the airport for several hours before being cleared by British Immigration officials for entry into the country.
The police stated that the arrest relates to an accusation of rape in August 2019 and that the man, who was not named, has been released on bail pending further inquiries, which are set to take place in early April.
While responding to inquiries about the reasons for Dokpesi’s arrest, the Met Police in an email did not mention the PDP chief’s name.
The mail read: “On Sunday, 8 January, a 71-year-old man was arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of rape. The arrest relates to an allegation of rape in August 2019. The man has been bailed, pending further enquiries, to a date in early April. Enquiries into the circumstances continue.
