Nigerian Police have arrested the father of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, ‘DG’ of the disowned Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), after storming the Ogbomoso residence of the family, according to Punch newspaper.
According to Punch, Adeyemi’s father, alongside a family friend who visited the family on Monday morning, was arrested by the police, leaving Adeniyi’s elderly mother in shock.
The arrest was confirmed by Femi Falana (SAN), who spoke to a Punch correspondent.
“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.
