Chairman Emeritus of Daar Communications, owner of Raypower fm and AIT: High Chief Raymond
Aleogho Dokpesi, narrowly escaped death on Saturday in what appeared to
be an assassination attempt.
Tragically, the police detail attached to the High Chief, Sergeant
Den Gaius of the FCT Police Command, was not so lucky as he was murdered
in cold blood by the armed assailants.
According to an eye witness, four assassins were
sighted in a Honda Accord car. The eyewitness said they accosted the
deceased in front of Child Care and Awareness Clinic at No 7, Fez
Street, Off Kumasi Crescent Wuse 2 Abuja at 2.30am on Saturday, June 4,
2016.
Details made available to The Signal by the office of the Chairman of Daar Communications Plc, read;
"The Managing Director of Africa Independent Television, Dr Mrs
Oluwatosin Dokpesi who had arrived from Lagos complained of serious
stomach cramps and was rushed to the Child Care and Awareness hospital
in Wuse 2. She was accompanied by her cousin Ms Abolore Sode and an
aide, Ms Aisha Adamu.
"They were escorted by the deceased sergeant. They were trailed
by the Honda Accord and as soon as Mrs Dokpesi alighted from the car
and entered the hospital, the assailants attacked them. They were asking
the driver and sergeant about Mrs Dokpesi’s whereabouts. They collected
the handset of the driver and shot the sergeant thrice and made away
with the AK47 of the sergeant.
"They did not go with the Prado vehicle No APP 577DK nor did
they collect any items. The driver said that the assailants said in
Hausa that, “He is not there. Bastard! We will still get him. They shot
thrice at the sergeant and sped off. He died on the spot."
