Chief Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications Limited, is said to have been detained by British police.
On Sunday, a source reportedly verified the development to This Day Newspaper.
Dokpesi was detained at London Heathrow Airport, the source revealed.
At the time of publication, the media tycoon’s detention had not been given a cause.
Since 2015, Dokpesi has been charged in court by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with receiving suspected proceeds of crime from Colonel Sambo Dasuki, a former national security adviser (NSA).
