The Osun State Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has declared Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the governorship election held in September 2018.

Adeleke, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party is challenging the victory of Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress.

The Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Daar Communications Plc, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has been arrested at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Dokpesi was arrested on Friday on arrival in Nigeria after receiving medical treatment at the American Hospital, in Dubai.

Reasons for his arrest remain unknown. However, an immigration officer was quoted as saying that Dokpesi was on the security watch list of the federal government.

The officer added that order had been given to have the businessman arrested on arrival.

But on good authority, his arrest may not be unconnected with his association with the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar during the last Presidential Elections.
