Police arrest father of disowned PFIPC ‘DG’ Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi
The Nigeria Police have arrested the father of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the disowned Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), after officers reportedly stormed the family’s residence in Ogbomoso.
Adeyemi’s father was arrested alongside a family friend who had visited the home on Monday morning, leaving Adeyemi’s elderly mother in distress.
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) confirmed the arrest, questioning its legality and describing it as a case of substituted arrest.

“The father has been arrested. There is no legal basis for substituted arrests. The young man has promised to show up in court, so why arrest his father?” Falana said.
