Adetunji Adeniyi, father of Adeyemi, the self-styled director-general of the “phantom” Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), says police operatives raided his home thrice in two days, destroyed parts of his property, confiscated phones, and arrested him while searching for his son.
On Monday, security personnel stormed the family’s residence in Ogbomoso and arrested Adeyemi’s father, alongside a family friend who was visiting the home.
Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, was among the first to relay the development to the public.
“Police have now stormed the house of the parents of Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, Plot 3, Adeniyi Dynasty, behind Technical College, Road Safety Area, Ogbomoso,” Falana had said.
“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?”
Residents of the neighbourhood also confirmed the incident.
