Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday afternoon arrested the former Chairman of Daar Communications, Chief Raymond Dokpesi.
According to Channels TV report, Dokpesi was picked up in Abuja at about noon on Tuesday and was accompanied to the office of the EFCC by his son Raymond Dokpesi Jnr., who is the current Chairman of Daar Communications.
The agency Head of Media, Wilson Uwujaren, Channels TV reported confirmed that Chief Dokpesi was arrested in connection with money disbursed from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
He said that there was no explanation about what the money was meant for and it was pathetic that the office of the NSA was used as “a warehouse to dish out money to people”.
He added that very worrisome is that this hard-earned money is taken from the coffers of the country.
