The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has finally broken its silence on the arrest and interrogation of African Independent Television (AIT) boss, Chief Raymond Dokpesi.

NIS Public Relations Officer, Mr. Sunday Abraham disclosed that;

“Mr. Dokpesi was invited by the Nigeria Immigration Service for official-related issues and he has been released. But I can’t discuss the issues with you now.”

“Mr. Dokpesi is a high-profile individual so until we are able to finish the issues we are looking at, we can’t disclose them. NIS was simply doing its official assignment and when it is due for the public to know the outcome, they will know. Dokpesi was treated with utmost sense of decorum while his stay lasted.”

“All Nigerians are treated the same way, with high standards particularly when it is related with the operation of the Immigration service. We don’t undermine Human Rights and we don’t undermine the standard of practice. Every person that is treated by the NIS is treated with the best practice. If there is any need to invite him again, why not?”
