$2.1 Arms Deal: EFCC Releases AIT Boss, Raymond Dokpesi After 3-Day Quizzing

The chairman of Daar Communications, Raymond Dokpesi has been asked to go after three days of quizzing by men of  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)

Dokpesi was arrested and interrogated in connection with $2.1 billion arms scam brought against the former National Security Adviser, Col, Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

The owner of AIT said: “It was a change of environment; it was quite peaceful, quite okay.”

“I was granted bail yesterday, 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 alleged 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.”

Meanwhile, it seems Dasuki is not done opening the can of worms in relation to the alleged diversion of $2.1 billion arms deal fund.

In his latest revelation, he said that the immediate president Goodluck Jonathan ordered him to convert N10 billion into dollar and share to delegates of then ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
