Just In: DAAR Communications Chairman, Raymond Dokpesi, released after being arrested by the police in the U.K.

The founder of DAAR Communications Limited, owners of AIT TV and Raypower radio, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been released by the United Kingdom police.

Dokpesi was arrested on Sunday, January 8, at Heathrow Airport in London.

The management of AIT in a statement on Monday, January 9, confirmed his release but didn’t state why he was arrested in the first place.

“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,” the statement reads in part.
