CEO of Daar Communications and Director General of Ibrahim Babangida Campaign, Chief Raymond Dokepsi has been arrested by secuirty operatives in Abuja today for allegedly being behind the Independence Day blast in Abuja that left many killed and several others injured.

Further details will be posted as information became available.

They better arrest IBB if that's what they're insinuating and stop beating around the bush.

This matter is too serious to play PDP politics with.

Now, this is very interesting! What is your source?

I really don't see any connetion. Hope our security agencies are not confused already.

this is an unconfirmed report!

but IBB is written all over this incident, so wont be surprised

Jonathan is at the brink of breaking Nigeria.

IBB's romance with Bombs n Bombings didn't start recently,it dates back to 1986 when on October 19 of that same year he sent a letter bomb to Dele Giwa.let's get rid of all these guys holding Nigeria and Nigerians to ransome.

Dokpesi Arrested, Azazi Heads NSA

San Francisco, Oct 04, (THEWILL) – The Director of the Ibrahim Babangida Campaign Organisation and promoter of AIT and Ray Power FM, Chief Raymond Dokpesi has been arrested by the State Security Service (SSS) in Abuja. His arrest may be in connection with the Independence Day blast in Abuja.

THEWILL has gathered that the politician was invited this morning to the headquarters of the SSS and has sence been detained. Impeccable sources informed us that the politician has not been allowed access to his lawyers, the IBB campaign crew and any other persons.

THEWILL has also learnt that President Goodluck Jonathan has named a new National Security Adviser (NSA). General Andrew Owoye Azasi has been appointed to replace General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, who resigned his appointment to contest in the 2011 presidential race.

THEWILL has exclusively reported a few hours after the bombings that a source informed us that a security report obtained from a Western Intelligence Agency noted that General Ibrahim Babangida and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar allegedly has ties to a political group that provided funding for the blasts.


The appointment of Azazi, who retired as Chief of Defence Staff in August 2008, takes immediate effect.

A statement by the President’s Spokesman, Ima Niboro, in Abuja, said the new NSA joined the Jonathan administration from a rich and illustrious career in the military. "Commissioned into the army as a military intelligence officer, he rose to the position of Director of Military Intelligence [DMI]. He was thereafter appointed as General Officer Commanding 1 Infantry Division, from where he was further appointed as Chief of Army Staff. Gen. Azazi rose to become the Chief of Defence Staff and retired meritoriously on the 28 of August, 2008," the statement by Niboro said.


Following Aliyu Mohammed Gusau’s resignation in September, Col. Kayode Are took over the job of the NSA in an acting capacity.

It has been suggested that the appointment of a substantive NSA yesterday by President Jonathan was not unconnected with the Friday bomb explosions in Abuja that killed several persons and injured others.

A militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta [MEND] is said to have claimed responsibility for the explosions.

Security in the country has since been beefed up especially around the Federal Capital Territory, even as the site of the explosion is still been cordoned off by the security agencies.

As for my source, it is authentic. I am a media practitioner and this arrest has been confirmed by IBB's spokesman, Kassim Afegbua. He has promised to issue a statement soonest. Expect it as soon as I get it. Thanks.

If this is true, they must have a strong evidence linking the IBB camp. I just pray its not.

water don pass garri

paddy_lo:

will all of u shouting war is imminent shut the eff up?. .

BUHARI and OTHER Northerners were oin the EAGLE SQUARE and were left to be slaughtered by the same IBB Bomb

Nothing will happen. . let IBB and ATIKU be arrested and put out of business

BUHARI,RIBADU,GEJ,GUSAU and other responsible contestants will move on

no shaking

Gbam, Seconded

There is noting that would happen, if IBB is found culpable he should be arrested and thrown into jail. What nonesense he dare not do all these crap when Abacha was at the helms of affair. Even when Yaradua who is more or less a weakling was there,  how many times do u hear IBB alter a word.

IBB and Atiku just do not respect d office of d Presidency.

i find this source un substantil, cos i havnt heard of this media thingy before, nd it has not appeared on any credible websitee. so nigerians should not start
concluding on  useless issues

this is getting crazy, the way goodluck is handling this is not good at all, you have to catch the thief red=handed before you make arrest, I am very sure OBJ is the person gingering him, even when OBJ was president he couldnt attack IBB talkless of GEJ .Goodluck has to watch it and be very wise.

this will turn out really bad, the same people supporting him now will still be the same people that will tell him when it gets bad that they never advised him to go too far, thats life for you.

Preliminary investigations by SSS revealed that some suspects arrested over the blast sent text messages to Dokpesi. The terse, coded message, SSS sources disclosed, simply said, "the deed is done. What about our balance?"

SSS officials said Dokpesi will be confronted with evidence against him tomorrow to which he is expected to react.

It was also gathered there were exchanged calls and SMS between the suspects and some high-placed Nigerians, which will be made available in the course of the interrogation.

Someone in the Babangida's camp, British intelligence services, revealed was sighted in South Africa last week where Henry Okah, the leader of MEND resides before his eventual arrest.

Well, i think it is much too early to be speculating but if true and there is cedible evidence then whoever is responsible must be tried, and if found guilty the Law must take its course. Gone are the days when we shy away from doing the right thing for fear of war or uprising. In my opinion nothing will happen.

He was only called in for questioning.
any body can be called for questioning
Jonathan is evil . he carried out this attack to blackmail his opponents.
IT WILL NEVER  WORK

please where did you get this info from? and how will he dokpesi in his right senses communicate with the bombers using his personal line, it can never be true,

The same technology dat they use to plan d deed would nail them.

can't you guys see MEND wasn't behind these bombings?

this story is not true, trust me, you cant do this type of deed and leave traces easily, GEJ is trying to tell us what we want to hear but we are wiser now.

The arrests is not enough to cause a war, however until the next move by ibb camp is done, actually the arrest is to preempt the ibb camp.
The ibb is a very intelligent man and I think he will not react as expected.

The real cake is the general election and not independence day bombing. JEG is displaying lack of depth.

JEG will win the PDP primaries and possible the general elections aginst the norths concensus candidate and that is where the problem will start

I just watched d news on AIT.This is gettin interesting.
