Political Associates and Friends Shun Dokpesi's Son's Wedding in Abuja (Photos)

-

Eminent Nigerian politicians and other associates seem to have turned their backs on Raymond Dokpesi following his ongoing ordeal with the EFCC to avoid prying eyes.
 
Son of Daar Communication's boss, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, got married in Abuja on Saturday, as political allies of the embattled Chairman of the Africa Independent Television (AIT) were found wanting in attendance, according to the Daily Times.
 
The wedding of Williams Dokpesi to his heartthrob, Diane at Emerald Park and Recreation, Area 3, Abuja, which would have would have been a jamboree of some sort were the AIT Chairman not to have found himself in troubled waters, turned out to be scanty and was attended by few friends and family members.
 
 
Neither the church service nor the wedding reception was attended by any of his political friends or popular faces in the Nigerian polity. Photos from the event showed that the wedding fell short of expectations, as the venues were deserted.
 
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a popular figure in the national polity, said the troubled Daar Communications owner got shunned because of his ongoing battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
 
 
According to him, the wedding would have become the talk of town but for the recent scandal which none of his politician friends want to get associated with.
 
“It’s a pity that all his politician friends have left him at the most trying times. Nobody wants to associate with him because of his EFCC trouble. We all know that anyone who attends or appears in the photos, might be picked up on by EFCC as an accomplice in the ongoing probe. It’s better to be safe,” he said.
 
 
It can be recalled that the EFCC arrested Chief Dokpesi in connection with money disbursed from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
 
Dokpesi was later docked before the Federal High Court in Abuja where he is answering to a 6-count criminal charge that was preferred against him by EFCC.
