Few hours after an Abuja Court ordered the arrest of the self-styled Director-General of the fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, reports confirm  he has been arrested.

 

Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a warrant for his arrest on Tuesday after he failed to appear in court for his arraignment.

 

Details of the operation which led to his arrest are still sketchy, but TVC News Online reports that Adeyemi was picked up in his hideout in Osun State.

 

Spokesperson for tye Osun State Police Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, confirmed to Reporters that Adeyemi was arrested in his hideout in Osun State by a Police Intelligence Team from Abuja.

 

Asked by the Police to identify himself, on arrest, he said “I’ve mentioned it Sir.

 

When the Police wouldn’t bulge and insisted he identifies himself, he replied: “I have mentioned it several times.”

 

Looking, at once, worried and agitated, he wore a light blue traditional attire and was surrounded by Security Operatives.

 

He is expected to be taken to the Police Headquarters in Abuja.

 

The Court order followed an oral application by Police counsel, Wisdom Madaki.

 

Adeyemi and his co-defendants were scheduled to take their plea on an eight-count charge filed by the police, bordering on alleged forgery, impersonation and related offences.
