$2.1bn Arms Deal: Dokpesi Released, Expresses Zeal To Face Further Interrogation by Sufdavinci(m): 8:33pm On Dec 04, 2015
Former DAAR Communications boss, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, after being quizzed for three days.

Dokpesi was picked up Tuesday by the anti-graft agency for interrogation on the allegation of complicity in the $2.1bn scam brought against former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki.

Speaking to Africa Independent Television, AIT, after his release, Dokpesi said “It was a change of environment; it was quite peaceful, quite okay.

“I was granted bail yesterday, where they asked me to get two Directors of the federal government. I’m to also deposit my passport, but my lawyer was not available, and I said that I was not going to sign until he was.

“But then, I think what they said was that the allegation was alleged conspiracy, the issuance, the transfer of funds, what do they call it?… money laundering and then misappropriation of public funds.

“But I’m a loyal Nigerian citizen; I’m a patriotic Nigerian citizen. I have no problem and I said they are free. I would still go back. I am strong in spirit; I’m toughened.”

The media mogul in his defence had earlier maintained that he was innocent, stressing that the N2.1bn he received from the Office of the National Security Adviser was payment is for publicity and media campaigns for the former President, Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during the 2015 general election.

Dokpesi should clear something out, was the money he received from the office of the NSA meant for PDP publicity campaign or for publicity and enlightenment for fight against boko haram. If its the former he's in hot problem according to Professor Sagay but if its the latter then with good lawyers who can twist cases with technicalities i won't be surprised if he walks away unconvicted.
