Daar Communications Chairman, Raymond Dokpesi, who’s being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over his role in the $2bn arms deal of the last administration, has explained his dealings with the office of the National Security Adviser.
Dokpesi was questioned by the EFCC on Tuesday over the N2.1 billion he allegedly received from the office of the NSA.
Speaking for the first time since his arrest, Dokpesi said the money he received during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, was payment for media and political campaign for the 2015 general election.
A statement was released to this effect on Wednesday by the management of DAAR Communications.
According to the statement, Dokpesi was asked to “shed more light on some payments that were made to him through the office of the erstwhile National Security Adviser to the former President, Malam Sambo Dasuki.”
“Dokpesi explained to the EFCC officials that the N2.1 billion that he collected from the former NSA was payment for for publicity and media political campaigns during the 2015 General Elections.”
“He made his statement on the various media exposures and campaign transactions which were dutifully carried out based essentially on contractual obligations/relationship.”
