Dokpesi In Another mess as he was taken for Alleged N8billion Football Fraud

At the bail application hearing of
embattled Daar Communications
Chairman Raymond Dokpesi, at the
Federal High Court Abuja yesterday
December 10th, counsel to the
Federal Government, Rotimi Jacobs
objected to his bail application,
stating that EFCC operatives was
investigating a fresh case of N8.4
billion fraud Dokpesi illegally
collected for the airing the FIFA U-17
World Cup hosted by Nigeria in
2012.
Jacobs in his submission, said that
although Dokpesi claimed that FIFA
granted his company the airing
rights, the federal government was
not a party to the contract.
“Here is a man, who in 2012,
collected over N8 billion for the
contract for airing of the Under-17
World Cup organised by FIFA.
Nigeria was not part of the contract
agreement with FIFA, yet, this
applicant collected the huge sum
from the treasury of this country.
Again, let me say here that Nigeria is
bleeding and it is the duty of
everybody, including judges in court,
to ensure that we fight and put an
end to corrupt tendencies in this
country.”he said
Dokpesi is facing prosecution by
EFCC for allegedly receiving the sum
of N2.billion from the office of the
National Security Adviser, NSA, for
PDP’s presidential media campaign
