According to reports, the labour party chieftain was intercepted by the DSS at Terminal 1 of the airport on his way to take a flight to London.

Recall that Okupe resigned as the campaign DG of the Labour Party after he was arrested and found guilty by a federal high court in Abuja for receiving a sum of N200 million from the ex-national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

The court found Okupe guilty in 26 out of the 59 counts preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and was sentenced to two-year jail term with an option of fine.
