The Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday arrested Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-styled Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, following a bench warrant issued by a Federal High Court in Abuja, after he failed to appear for his arraignment on an eight-count charge bordering on alleged conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Adeyemi\u2019s arrest after granting an oral application by the prosecution, led by Wisdom Madaki, following the defendant\u2019s absence when the case was called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposing the application, Adeyemi\u2019s counsel, Genesis Francis, told the court that his client feared for his life and had written to President Bola Tinubu over the alleged threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the lawyer, Adeyemi intended to remain alive to defend himself in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding, Justice Umar said, The court will help him be alive, before ordering that a bench warrant be issued for Adeyemi\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge subsequently adjourned the case until September 30, 2026, for arraignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Personal Assistant to the Force Public Relations Officer, Aminu Koji, confirmed Adeyemi\u2019s arrest in a terse statement to journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koji said Adeyemi was arrested in Osun State by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrest was earlier seen in a video released by TVC News, showing Adeyemi in police custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police had filed the eight-count charge against Adeyemi on November 27, 2025, accusing him and two other suspects identified simply as Femi and Anu, who are said to be at large, of conspiracy, forgery and impersonation in connection with the operation of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, an organization the Presidency has repeatedly said does not exist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
