$2.1bn arms deal: Dokpesi released says, I’m strong in spirit

-

Ex-Chairman of Daar Communications, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), after being interrogated for three days.

Dokpesi was arrested and interrogated on allegations of complicity in the $2.1bn scam brought against former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki.

Speaking to newsmen later, he said: “It was a change of environment; it was quite peaceful, quite okay.

“I was granted bail (Thursday), 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 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.”
