Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications Limited, has been released after his delay at Heathrow airport in London, says the management of AIT, a Nigerian television station.
Dokpesi was delayed on Sunday by Immigration after a trip from Frankfurt on a Lufthansa airlines flight that arrived in the UK.
“Dokpesi arrived via Frankfurt from Abuja on a Lufthansa airlines flight and was invited off the plane before other passengers were disembarked,” the management of the television station said in a statement on Monday.
“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 added that the Peoples’ Democratic Chieftain (PDP) made the London trip following the invitation of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the party by the British government to share perspectives on issues around the next month’s presidential election in the country.
Dokpesi is the deputy director-general, of the technical and systems of the PDP presidential campaign council.
