According to a statement released titled "The Continued Detention of High Chief Raymond Dokpesi by The EFCC on Allegations of Money Laundering" which was signed by him, he said his father was only contracted to develop a Multi Media Strategic Development Support Project to promote and project the achievements and highlight the challenges of former president Jonathan's government. He says in the statement that his father is not a contractor with the Ministry of Defence and does not supply arms. The full text of the statement after the cut...
THE CONTINUED DETENTION OF HIGH CHIEF RAYMOND DOKPESI BY THE EFCC ON ALLEGATIONS OF MONEY LAUNDERING
1.
It has become very imperative that following an article published in
the Nation Newspaper and reprinted in other online and social media,
that we provide more clarification on the current detention without
trial of Dr. Raymond Dokpesi by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission EFCC in Abuja over allegations of Criminal Conspiracy and
Money Laundering.
2.
In the first place there is no iota of truth whatsoever that Dr.
Dokpesi had a hand in any transaction with the former National Security
Adviser regarding the purchase of arms, locally or internationally. This
falsehood has become commonplace as his detention is constantly being
associated with what has generally become known by the media as the $2.1
Billion US Dollars Arms Deal Scandal.
3.
We will like to make it abundantly clear that Dr. Dokpesi's DAAR
INVESTMENT & HOLDINGS COMPANY LTD, initiated a proposal to the
Presidency of Former President Goodluck Jonathan proposing a Multi Media
Strategic Development Support Project to promote and project the
achievements and highlight the challenges of his government whilst
demystifying false information gleefully circulated by the propaganda
machinery of the then opposition party.
4.
The proposal was submitted to the Former President in person by Dr.
Dokpesi and his team in the presence of the Former Vice President and
the Former National Security Adviser at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
We must further emphasize that the proposal had absolutely nothing to do
with the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), nor the Presidential Campaign
Council (PCC).
5.
We understand that this proposal was thoroughly studied, approved and
paid for by the Presidency through the office of the National Security
Adviser which to the best of our knowledge has multiple budgetary
sub-heads including for the promotion and propagation of information to
sustain and stabilize the government and its administration.
6.
We are still at a loss as to why a Federal Government that claims to
have been popularly elected only about six months ago, will embark on a
wide scale propaganda, misinformation and brazen falsehood just to
achieve its objective of decimating its perceived political opponents
and supporters of the previous government's administration.
7.
High Chief Raymond Dokpesi remains a law abiding and consummate patriot
who has served his fatherland to the best of his ability with Zeal,
Zest and oftentimes a very infectious sense of patriotism.
8.
For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Dokpesi has never applied nor bidded for
a contract for the purchase of arms. Nor has he ever been registered
with the Ministry of Defence for the similar objective of engaging in
the supply of Arms for the Government. Unfolding events will soon prove
irrefutably and unlike what fictious stories are being fed to the media
as published by The Nation Newspaper on Friday 4th December 2015.
9.
We urge the Buhari-led APC Government to rigorously investigate all
political and economic crimes thoroughly before embarking on a media
trial and sentencing even before the law courts of Nigeria have an
opportunity to adjudicate.
10. Our democracy must grow on all fronts but more so under the rule of law which remains the bedrock of any democratic system.
Signed
Raymond Dokpesi Jnr.
For the Dokpesi family

Why did your father collect the campaign money from Ministry of defence? There's no logic in there. It would have been better if the money was given to him by pdp or ffk.
He better go and take a hike somewhere, the court will determine. Not this long essay he is writing.

1. I wonder why electoral campaign& adverts would be paid for through the office of the Security advicer. Please what's the connection between electoral campaign and National security as it concerns this scenerio.
Someone please school me, let me understand.
2. I've always known that Buhari would come for Daar communications; after all the smear campaign they televised against him.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
JR, you seem to be lost in your analysis. Nobody is saying your father applied for or carried out any arms deal. What is being said is that your father received payments from a source designated for payments for arms deals and trade.
Why did the NSA pay for media services? Why??????????????????
Please ask your father to tell you the truth.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This guy is a fool. When did the office of the National Security Adviser become responsible for media issues? What's the duty of the ministry of information and national strategies? GEJ administration is nothing but pepper and akara kind of administration where anybody does anything. Very unfortunate for a so called PHD holder running things like this. Oga Dokpesi jnr, your papa go tey for that cell o. Deal with that......fool
Let's the court decide.. if he's guilty or not
Go siddon for dorti!
Rubbish!
You with this your "end time"
Haha...I've been waiting for this moment for a long time....sips Pepsi and Popcorn. ...this movie just dey start....
Even Sani Abacha is a saint to his children. To them "our Daddy did nothing"
We here u ooo.
BOOHARI ADMINISTRATION WILL TAKE NIGERIA 33 YEARS BACKWARDS
Ur papa wd so rot in jail Ehn. Whn did office of the NSA turn to ministry of information and communication? Snc the claim was on public enlightenment; why was it not sponsored thru the national orientation agency? I am beginning to see reasons why GEJ sacked honest DGs of parastatals under the ministry of information ahead of the 2015 elections....
This present government is a big disappointment... A big time shits... And a big time senseless Mallams occupying the senate.. And above all, a big time witch hunting idiots!!!

I see you want to prove the good son , but that seems too late . May share this on my blog ?
What of the 3000 soldiers sentenced death due to the money your father collected from Dasuki that was meant for weapon and you people diverted it to your media use... Thank God GEJ didn't enter you people would have wasted innocent souls.. Go and sit down and let t:he courts decide your father's fate there no witch hunting here is one political party will arrest other party. GEJ failed to that doesn't not mean PMB will do.
Trying to connect the dots
Media..NSA.ArmsDeal..Billions..Dokpesi
Yeye dey smell here...
The guy is talking trash. Even a fool know his father is culpable in this matter. And I agree with the commentator that says "Even Sani Abacha is a saint to his children. To them "our Daddy did nothing". Mr Dokpesi, you are going down on this. When did NSA bocomes the information ministry. Bloody idiots.
Why wont he deny on behalf of his father. He looks like a thug himself. All this masters of advanced criminology
You no dey shame, u still dey talk, when EFCC interrogated your baba that "when did NSA office become a cashier office to disburse money for election campaign?", he was gnashing teeth, he himself couldn't defend it, let alone of you mumu boy, abeg go sit down.
U are the bigger fool, if you do business with someone and they send someone to give u your money will u reject it because the office that is paying is not the correct office
Even ur name sounds like a dirty person. Kpoms= ashawo
Who told u ,that the n.s.a is in charge of ministry of defence, go n get ur facts right, the n.s.a is a kind political appointment that can be likenee to a special adviser role,
Its a political post anything can be done through it
election campaign of a sitting president should NEVER be funded with government money period.whether it be from the ministry of finance and certainly not from the office of the NSA. This guy has just indicted his own father by this statement
Why won't a son support his father even if his guilty.... Well they know and God knows best
Also Check Vabadon's Blog
I don't wat d p is here, if he wasn't in d arms deal purchase, then he has done no wrong...if the n.s.a n presidency approved his proposal n decided to pay him with d arms deal money, how is that his problem, remember he isn't a public office holder.. He just did business,, whether d money was from d arms deal is problem of d n.s.a but not his
The lying son failed to explain how his dad collected such huge sum and still failed to pay the donkeys who carried the publicity for one year.
Your father forgot why NTA/RADIO NIGERIA were paid for and gatecrashed into huge scandal.
God dey.
I DONT KNOW Y NIGERIANS DONT REASON BEFORE TALKING ABEG IF SOMEONE WANTS TO PAY FOR SERVICES YOU WANT TO RENDER OR YOU HAVE RENDERED WOULD U ASK THEM WHERE THEY GOT THE MONEY FROM AND IF THEY ARE TO PAY YOU THROUGH ANOTHER ACCOUNT WOULD YOU ASK THEM WHY THEY USED THAT ACCOUNT PLEASE NIGERIANS ITS HIGH TIME WE START GIVING OURSELVES BRAIN PLEASE USE YOUR SENSES HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF Y AMECHI IS A MINISTER PLEASE. THIS IS PERSONAL VENDETTA. IF YOU READ THE STATEMENT YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER WAS PRESENT WHEN HE SUBMITTED THE PROPOSAL SO IF PAYMENTS COME FROM THAT OFFICE WHO IS HIGH CHIEF RAYMOND DOPKESI TO GO BACK AND ASK QUESTIONS WHEN THE THEN PRESIDENT GAVE ORDERS PLEASE NIGERIANS OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE FOR US
This guy is hopeless as his father and has just made the case against his Father stronger. He claims the so called proposal 'initiated" by his father has nothing to do with PDP but was intended to counter the so called negative propaganda by "the opposition". Please tell that to the marines as Nigerians are not stupid. Everyday for the thief one day for the owner! Dopesi should man up and take his punishment on the chin once he has his date in court and he should also refund the money or his property should be seized. To stamp out this corruption in this country people lie this should serve a long jail term. I recall that just before AIT was owing their workers salaries? Abi na part of the strategy bi dat? How can you guys sleep well knowing that money that was meant for purchase of arms to protect our soldiers was misapplied and used for frivolous things while our gallant soldiers were being killed? Haba what a wicked set of greedy and heartless idiots. I pray that God will visit all those who stole the nations money with serious punishment and they should all serve jail terms.
I LIKE THIS SON PROTECTING FATHERS INTEREST. COURT ORDERS EFCC TO PROVIDE DOKPESI IN COURT WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. SEE HERE
The son is right, a private business approached the govt with a business proposal. The proposal is approved. Someone in GEJ's govt pays! How does DAAR communication know the internal working of the funds that was paid to him? If the NSA pays the funds, dats not DAAR's business...
okpesi collect this kind huge amount and yet he no wan pay workers.its so bad that even his workers are jubilating over his arrest.even you Babs have never posted about him not paying his workers but since his arrest you no let us hear word..my own be say if he's guilty he will face the law,if not am sure he would have learnt his lesson..let him have a conscienc and pay them..Dokpesi Jnr pay your workers and stop using their salaries to be celebrating unecesary birthdays for your generation..put your sef in their shoes.
who come be d criminal in Naija?all man just dey denie.but every body wan go heaven but no body wan die.issorai

Omomye Asek, thank u nd help me ask him oh! Change has com already to stay no goin back.
Dokpesi junior, story for the gods. Your papa will pay for all his atrocities.
Funny with this your end time comment
Even if Dokpesi is a contractor with NSA adviser, dioes that make him quilty? No. He did his job and was paid. Period. Why the noise and evil machination call arrest by Efcc. They must stop witch hunting people in sensekess manner.
U just a moron abeg, receive small sense if possible
Hmmmmm allegations flying all ova the place
Hmmmmm allegations flying all ova the place
Biko!
He should spare us all dis sentiment's and when they get 2d court present their case and d court should decide if he is guilty or not.
Comment frm ROYAL PRIESTHOOD (royalpriesthood007@gmail.com)
Don't worry son. Just return the money. This was not the only one that he received do he better start squealing. And you must better remain out of sight for now. Remember Ghaddafi's children. Any foolish attempt there will be nothing less than the Rawlings Solution
Where is the invoice? Under what item of the budget? Better be quiet. You cannot fight corruption by being selective.
We never really expected him to say otherwise. APC better stop this witch-hunting of PDP members.
#TeamBlessed#
Why does Dokpesi have to get involved in arms deal? And we wonder why this country has gone to the dogs? Based on what is he even consider a prospect in an arms deal?!
Dokpesi Jnr, you were trained in a more civilized society than Nigeria and you are still defending your father in this way. It's a pity. N2.1 b was meant for promotion and propagation of information to stabilize Nigeria and money was paid by the NSA. NSA was both the Minister of Information and Finance? NSA was not asked to be paying for subsidy on fuel then which was most important to Nigerians. Remember, your father was also fingered in the bomb blast that occurred in 2010. Your father's cup is full biko.
Is his father into arms business? Do they have any proposal to that effect that he is applied for any of such contract? I think there's an iota of truth in what he is saying
Witch hunting my foot. A bloody civilian was paid for a personal biz from a national purse and you call that witch hunting. Death to all looters. Look junior your dad's hand aint clean and this is not witch hunting. Face the truth so that whats coming wont get to you.
He did what a son is expected 2 do
Personally i dnt knw de truth
Buh dis administration 2 desist from obiakpo
Dey shld face what is at hand & liv PDP alone

Big man..big wahala...wen u guys Wia flexing the mny,did u give the public..NO..so y r u complaining to us now...fuck off dog..
If I were him, I would not be too hasty in putting up a defense for my dad. EFCC should be allowed to conclude it investigation and charge Dokpesi to court if culpable. 2.1 billion naira is a lot of money to give away to a single individual without due process. what was the role of the national assembly in approving this huge sum of money for media services? na wa for this country.
look at this yeye guy...he even look older than him papa
Bros Jnr...your statement is indicting already. Imagine a thief claiming he asked a dead man if he could steal from him before he took a way his millions. the court go pronounce u guilty of murder quick quick.
You are so ignorant irabo? Follow follow.your comment shows that.
Can you truely say this when you see him in person? Useless jobless and classless idiot fool. Fake and urgly creature with a very dull brain.
So many jobless ,ignorant and bitter creature like you valentino chuks on this blog. Get exposure and education please.
God Dey
Naija which way forward? Pls visit footballmole.com for all your latest sports gist
Naija no dey try at all
Why is "wowo" trending in their family na? This ugliness hurts me eyes biko
Bla bla bla.... So the NSA is CBN?
If you father is such a good man, why is he owing staff in spite of the manna from the NSA's office?
You are a rogue son of a rogue father..
Let justice prevail that's my take.
Why is Buhari's govt bias? Same thing they are accusing Dokpesi for,was done by Ameachi and Oshomole but no body is arresting them because they spent their state money on Buhari's campaigns,so it is justified. Buhari if you can't arrest every corrupt individual, then don't arrest any. Simply leave the past n face the future. I still haven't seen change in any aspect.
But Buhari's election campaign was funded with edo,rivers, and lagos states money. So what is the difference?
