Police authorities have arrested Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-acclaimed ‘director-general’ of the disputed Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC).
The Force Public Relations Officer (PRO), Okokon Iniedu, said Adeyemi was arrested in Osun State.
“We have just confirmed the arrest of Mr. Adeniyi Adeyemi by a team of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Osun State,” Iniedu wrote in a terse message obtained by Channels Television. “Thank you.”
A video accompanying the message showed Adeyemi being questioned by police operatives after he was arrested.
Although no further details have been disclosed about the arrest of Adeyemi, the development came after a court issued a bench warrant for his arrest following his failure to appear for his scheduled arraignment.
Justice Umar of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, issued the arrest order following an oral application made by the police lawyer, Wisdom Madaki.
