London Metropolitan Police have spoken out on the incident involving Raymond Dokpesi, founder of Daar Communications.

According to a PUNCH report, an email from London police confirmed that a “71-year-old man” was arrested on Sunday on an allegation of rape at Heathrow Airport.

Police added that the rape allegation occurred in August 2019 and a date for a further investigation into the matter had been set for early April.

However, Dokpesi’s identity was not confirmed in the correspondence.

On Sunday January 8, a 71-year-old man was arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of rape. The arrest relates to an August 2019 rape allegation. The man was released on bail, pending further investigation, until a date in early April. Investigations into the circumstances are continuing,” the courier said.

Please note that we do not confirm the identity of anyone who has been arrested but not charged.

Dokpesi, who scored 71 points last year, was delayed by immigration on Sunday after traveling from Frankfurt on a Lufthansa airline flight to the UK.

The leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was on a trip to London following the invitation of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate, by the British government to share his views on issues surrounding the presidential election of the coming months in the country.

According to the management of AIT, the Dokpesi media establishment, he was released after a few hours and his passport was stamped and he was allowed by British immigration officials to enter the country.

Dokpesi is the Deputy Director General (Technical and Systems) of the PDP’s Presidential Campaign Council.
