Peter Obi’s Former Campaign DG, Doyin Okupe Leaves EFCC Office

Peter Obi’s former campaign DG, Doyin Okupe has left the EFCC office after his arrest.

Glamtush reports that the immediate past Director-General (DG) of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Doyin Okupe, on Thursday disclosed thay he has left the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos.

This online platform had reported that Okupe was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos on Thursday morning.

The DSS asked the former presidential aide to provide court processes where he paid the fine option following his money laundering conviction by the Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja.

Subsequently, he was handed over to the EFCC, with the Spokesman of the Service, Peter Afunanya, confirming Okupe “was intercepted at the instance of the EFCC.”

The Ogun-born politician fumed at the development. According to him, EFCC official later apologised for embarrassing him.

He wrote on his Twitter handle,

“I was arrested & detained @ the MM int airport, Lagos this morning 12th Jan on my way to UK for medicals yrs of my passport being withheld by the FHC Abuja.I hv just left the efcc office where snr officers in lagos& Abuja appologised to me for the error. OCCUPATIONAL HAZZARD abi?
