Despite his ongoing trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, the founder of DAAR Communication, Chief Raymond Dopkesi, on
Tuesday sent season’s greeting cards to President Muhammadu Buhari and
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The giant cards bearing goodwill messages on Eid el Maulud,
Christmas and New Year was taken to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, by a
team led by the communication outfit’s Chairman, Mr. Raymond Dokpesi
Jnr.
Others on the delegation were the Managing Director, Mr. Tony
Akiotu; Managing Director, DAAR News Services, Imoni Amarere; Head,
Human Resource, Paulyn Ugbodaga; and Head, Corporate Communications,
Kunle Onime.
They were received on behalf of the President by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, who was joined by a
Director of Information, Mr. Justin Abuah.
The message on the giant card read, “The chairman, Board of
Directors, Management and staff of DAAR Communications Plc, proprietors
and operators of Raypower FM, Africa Independent Television and Faaji
FM, most heartily felicitate with Your Excellency, President Muhammadu
Buhari GCFR and family on the occasions of Eid Maulud, Christmas and New
Year 2016.”
The delegation later moved to the Vice President’s office where
they were received by his Senior Special Assistant Documentation, Mr.
Sesan Adeboyejo.
Adeboyejo, like Adesina, also received the giant card on behalf of
his boss and posed for photographs with members of the delegation.
Dokpesi is currently facing a six-count of alleged money laundering. He was charged by the EFCC.
He is currently on bail in the sum of N200m, with two sureties in like sum.
The trial judge also directed Dokpesi to surrender his international
passport, which will only be released to him after application to the
court should he be required to travel outside the country.
