PFIPC probe: Police explain why fake DG was not presented

The Nigeria Police Force could not produce Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, self-acclaimed Director-General of the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, before the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on Wednesday, Punch reports. Deputy Commissioner of Police Olufemi Akinola, representing Inspector-General Olatunji Disu, told the committee Adeyemi remains in custody under a subsisting Federal High Court order, and that a production warrant would be needed before he could be presented. Committee chairman Yusuf Gagdi accepted the explanation and pledged to secure the required court order, promising to liaise with the IGP’s office once obtained. The panel is investigating the council’s activities following allegations it operated without legal backing.
