The Police Command in Osun has confirmed the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi, the “fake” Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Biodun Ojelabi, said Adeyemi was arrested on Tuesday at his hideout in Osun by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team from Abuja.
Ojelabi said the state command was not involved in the operation but confirmed that the suspect had been taken into custody.
“We are aware that the individual parading himself as the Director-General of the controversial PFIPC, Adeyemi, was picked up today in the state.
“The team that effected the arrest came from the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
“He was picked up in the early hours by operatives of the Force Intelligence Department–Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT),” he said.
Adeyemi’s arrest followed an order by Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, directing his arrest after he failed to appear for arraignment over alleged conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.
The police spokesperson did not provide further details on the circumstances leading to the arrest
