Doyin Okupe, the previous director general of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, is said to have been detained at Lagos’ Muritala Mohammed International Airport by the Department of State Services.
On Thursday, Tolu Babaleye, one of his attorneys, posted about this on Facebook.
Okupe, according to him, was travelling to London.
He asserted that the DSS required him to give court records detailing his decision to pay a fine after being found guilty of money laundering by the Federal High Court of Abuja.
“The reason according to source is that he was asked to produce evidence that the Federal High Court Abuja has freed him from the case in which he was convicted and paid fine to the knowledge of the whole world and was allowed to go home.
“When will this harassment stop? Who is after Dr. Okupe? As of today, the man has no case to answer, I hereby demand that the DSS should release my client immediately as this is a violation of his freedom of movement, right to liberty and dignity of human person. This is unfair as the man’s health is fast failing,” he stated.
