Operatives of the Nigeria Police have arrested Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-acclaimed Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), in Osun State.<\/p>\n
The arrest brings an end to a weeks-long manhunt by security agencies who had been tracking the suspect over allegations of forgery, fraud, and impersonation tied to the purported federal agency.<\/p>\n
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, confirmed that Adeyemi was arrested without incident by a team from the Intelligence Response Team (IRT). He has since been moved into police custody for further interrogation.<\/p>\n
According to Iniedu, the arrest followed intelligence-led operations, days after security operatives raided the suspect’s family residence while searching for him. Investigators had questioned his family members during the hunt.<\/p>\n
The arrest came just hours after Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a warrant for his arrest. Adeyemi was scheduled to take his plea on Tuesday on an eight-count charge marked FHC\/ABJ\/CR\/562\/2025, which includes forgery, fraud, and impersonation.<\/p>\n
Although the matter was listed as No. 12 on the court’s cause list, Adeyemi failed to appear for his arraignment. A lawyer, Mr. Genesis Francis, announced his appearance on his behalf, but his absence prompted the court to issue the arrest warrant.<\/p>\n
The case continues to draw public attention as more details emerge about the activities of the PFIPC and the alleged fraudulent operations carried out under the guise of a federal government initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
