THE CONTINUED DETENTION OF HIGH CHIEF RAYMOND DOKPESI BY THE EFCC ON ALLEGATIONS OF MONEY LAUNDERING , FAMILY REACTS(A must read)
The family of Chief Raymond Dokpesi has issued a press statement on
the continued detention of their brother, the chairman of Daar
communications.
The family according to the official Facebook page of the African
Independent Television, family wish to put more clarification on the
current detention without trial of Dr. Dokpesi by the EFCC.
1. It has become very imperative that following an article
published in the Nation Newspaper and reprinted in other online
and social media, that we provide more clarification on the
current detention without trial of Dr. Raymond Dokpesi by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC in Abuja over
allegations of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.
2. In the first place there is no iota of truth whatsoever that Dr.
Dokpesi had a hand in any transaction with the former National
Security Adviser regarding the purchase of arms, locally or
internationally. This falsehood has become commonplace as his
detention is constantly being associated with what has generally
become known by the media as the $2.1 Billion US Dollars Arms
Deal Scandal.
3. We will like to make it abundantly clear that Dr. Dokpesi's DAAR
INVESTMENT & HOLDINGS COMPANY LTD, initiated a proposal to
the Presidency of Former President Goodluck Jonathan proposing
a Multi Media Strategic Development Support Project to promote
and project the achievements and highlight the challenges of his
government whilst demystifying false information gleefully
circulated by the propaganda machinery of the then opposition
party.
4. The proposal was submitted to the Former President in
person by Dr. Dokpesi and his team in the presence of the
Former Vice President and the Former National Security Adviser
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. We must further emphasize that
the proposal had absolutely nothing to do with the Peoples'
Democratic Party (PDP), nor the Presidential Campaign Council
(PCC).
5. We understand that this proposal was thoroughly studied,
approved and paid for by the Presidency through the office of the
National Security Adviser which to the best of our knowledge has
multiple budgetary sub-heads including for the promotion and
propagation of information to sustain and stabilize the
government and its administration.
6. We are still at a loss as to why a Federal Government that
claims to have been popularly elected only about six months ago,
will embark on a wide scale propaganda, misinformation and
brazen falsehood just to achieve its objective of decimating its
perceived political opponents and supporters of the previous
government's administration.
7. High Chief Raymond Dokpesi remains a law abiding and
consummate patriot who has served his fatherland to the best of
his ability with Zeal, Zest and oftentimes a very infectious sense
of patriotism.
8. For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Dokpesi has never applied nor
bidded for a contract for the purchase of arms. Nor has he ever
been registered with the Ministry of Defence for the similar
objective of engaging in the supply of Arms for the Government.
Unfolding events will soon prove irrefutably and unlike what
fictious stories are being fed to the media as published by The
Nation Newspaper on Friday 4th December 2015.
9. We urge the Buhari-led APC Government to rigorously
investigate all political and economic crimes thoroughly before
embarking on a media trial and sentencing even before the law
courts of Nigeria have an opportunity to adjudicate.
10. Our democracy must grow on all fronts but more so under
the rule of law which remains the bedrock of any democratic
system.
