He was reportedly arrested by the United Kingdom UK police at the London Heathrow Airport as he touched down from a connecting flight via Frankfurt on Sunday evening ahead of a scheduled political meeting with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The reports claimed Mr Dokpesi, the owner of broadcaster AIT, was picked up at London Heathrow Airport as he touched down from a connecting flight via Frankfurt on Sunday evening, according to The Whistler, which first reported the incident citing passengers on the same flight.
It was not immediately clear why Mr Dokpesi was arrested, but The Gazette learnt that he was still at the airport as of 12:06 a.m. on Monday. The Scotland Yard did not immediately return a request seeking comments.
According to source, Chief Dokpesi might soon be cleared through immigration and be released, although the reasons for his arrest remained fuzzy even to his associates as of late Sunday.
