Money I Received Was For Publicity And Media In Political Campaigns – Dokpesi

Aeogho Dokpesi, Daar
Communication (Ray Power and AIT)
founder, has explained what
transpired on Tuesday 1 December
2015 when the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
invited him.
In a statement signed by the
management of DAAR
Communications Plc, he said that
around 2.00pm that day, the Ag.
Chairman of the EFCC, Alhaji
Ibrahim Magu, through a phone call,
invited him to the Commission.
On getting there, he was requested
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.”
High Chief Aleogho Dokpesi “made
his statement on the various media
exposures and campaign
transactions which were dutifully
carried out based essentially on
contractual obligations/relationship.”
The statement however did not
explain how the office of the
National Security Adviser became the
cashier office for the payment of
campaign expenses and the source of
the money.
A special panel and the EFCC are
probing how trillions of naira
budgeted for defence were spent in
the last eight years. An interim
report by the panel already reported
phoney contracts in excess of $2
billion
