LAGOS, Nigeria — Authorities arrested the chairman of a former military dictator’s presidential campaign Monday in connection with a set of dual car bombings in Nigeria’s capital that killed a dozen people, senior government officials said.

Raymond Dokpesi is the owner of the Africa Independent Television network, which is one of the largest in Africa’s most populous nation. He also chairs the presidential campaign for President Goodluck Jonathan’s greatest political threat in the upcoming primary for Nigeria’s ruling party, Ibrahim Babangida.
