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, Okokon Iniedu, confirmed the arrest, which took place 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 said in a message obtained by Channels Television.
A video accompanying the message showed Adeyemi being questioned by police operatives following his arrest.
No further details have been disclosed about the circumstances of the arrest. However, it came after a court issued a bench warrant for Adeyemi’s arrest following his failure to appear for his scheduled arraignment.
