UPDATED: Police arrest ‘fake’ agency DG, Adeyemi in Osun

The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.

His arrest followed a bench warrant issued by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Adeyemi was apprehended in Osun State on Tuesday by members of the Force Intelligence Response Team (IRT), just hours after the court ordered his arrest.

DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, the spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command, confirmed that the suspect was captured at his hideout by detectives from the IRT, who were deployed from Abuja.

He disclosed that arrangements were being made to move Adeyemi to the Federal Capital Territory for further investigation and other legal procedures.

“I can confirm that he was arrested in Osun by the Intelligence Response Team from Abuja.”

“He is expected to be transferred to Abuja,” Ojelabi said.
