Police Arrest Adeniyi Adeyemi, Self-Proclaimed DG of PFIPC, in Osun State

On Tuesday, July 15, 2026, Nigerian police forces successfully apprehended Adeniyi Adeyemi, who had been operating as the self-styled Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) ¹³⁶. The arrest took place in Osun State, following a bench warrant issued by Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja ²⁵⁶.

Background to the Arrest

Adeyemi's arrest comes after he failed to appear in court for scheduled proceedings related to the controversial PFIPC ⁵⁸. Justice Umar had issued the bench warrant based on an oral application made by police lawyer Mr. Wisdom Madaki ²⁶. The PFIPC itself has been described as a "non-existent" or "fake" government agency ⁶⁷. Reports indicate that Adeyemi had been operating this purported agency out of the presidency's office for nearly two years ⁷.

Details of the Operation

The Osun State Police Command confirmed Adeyemi's arrest, with spokesperson Abiodun Ojelabi stating that he was apprehended in Osun State and was already being transported to Abuja, the nation's capital ¹². The operation involved operatives from the Nigeria Police Force, including the Inspector General of Police's special forces ⁴³. Security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS) and the police, had been tracking Adeyemi prior to his arrest ⁵. He was reportedly found in a hideout in Osun State ⁴⁸¹⁰.

Ongoing Investigations and Implications

Adeyemi's arrest is part of a broader investigation into the activities of the PFIPC ¹⁰. The incident has also led to calls for further parliamentary probes, with some urging the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gbajabiamila, to investigate the matter ⁸. This development highlights concerns about fraudulent government agencies and the need for vigilance against such schemes.
