Founder of Daar Communications Plc, Chief Raymond Dokpesi has explained that the N2.1 billion he received from the Office of National Security Adviser, then headed by Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) was payment for media and political campaigns for the 2015 general election.
This is coming barely twenty-four hours after he was invited for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over an alleged involvement in the $2 billion arms procurement deal during the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan
According to a statement issued by his company on Wednesday, Dokpesi explained that he was invited by EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, to “shed more light on some payments that were made to him through the office of the erstwhile NSA,” adding that the N2.1 billion he collected was payment for publicity and media political campaigns during the 2015 polls.
The brain behind Africa Independent Television, AIT, and RayPower FM however did not state why he received payment for a political media campaign, which should ordinarily have been the prerogative of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and why the office of the NSA should be making such payment and not relevant organs of the party.
