The management of DAAR Communications Plc has revealed how its founder Raymond Dokpesi died after a domestic accident.
Dokpesi died on Sunday at the age of 71 weeks after reportedly suffering a stroke.
A statement by DAAR’s group managing director Tony Akiotu hours after the death stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain fell while on his treadmill.
“He had been ill in the last few weeks but was well on his way to recovery. He had a fall earlier today, while on the treadmill during a routine gym exercise.
“Further announcements as regards the burial arrangements will be made by the family,” parts of Mr Akiotu’s statement read.
Dokpesi’s son, Raymond Dokpesi Jnr had earlier announced the death of his father whose DAAR Communication is the owner of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and RayPower FM.
The younger Dokpesi described the deceased as “a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend” who “will be deeply missed by all who knew him.”
