Dokpesi, Unable To Meet N400 Million Bail Condition, Spends Night In Kuje Prison
Category: Nigerian National News
Raymond Dokpesi, the chairman of African Independent Television (AIT) who is in the middle of the massive arms scandal concerning former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki, is spent Monday night in Kuje prison because he was unable to meet the conditions of his bail.
According to reports, a lawyer representing Mr. Dokpesi confirmed that Dokpesi was remanded in Kuje prison in Abuja having failed to meet the N400 million or surety requirement for bail.
The presiding judge over the alleged arms scandal case, Gabriel Kolawole established bail conditions requiring two guarantors, one of whom must be a current or former public servant of Director rank or higher, and the second of whom mist be an entrepreneur in possession of Nigerian tax payments for the past three consecutive years. Both were required to provide “title deeds of landed properties in any part of Nigeria, the value of which must not be below N200 million.”
Mr. Dokpesi’s lawyer said that the difficultly of meeting these strict bail conditions forced Mr. Dokpesi to spend the night in Kuje prison, a facility that is like the jails average Nigerians are often sent to.
Mr. Dokpesi is facing six counts of money laundering for his involvement with Mr. Dasuki, who is alleged to have illegally provided money meant for military arms purchases to Mr. Dokpesi to produce video documentaries promoting the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
