“Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-proclaimed DG of the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, was arrested by the police on Tuesday. A Federal High Court in Abuja had issued a bench warrant for his arrest after he skipped his arraignment on eight counts of conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation.”
The judge granted an oral application by the prosecution after Adeyemi failed to appear when the matter, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, was called.
“Justice Umar replied, ‘The court will keep him alive,’ and subsequently ordered the issuance of a bench warrant for Adeyemi’s arrest.”

He was said to have switched off his mobile phones for about two days, making it difficult to locate him.
He is widely regarded by many Osun residents as one of the key security officers who contributed significantly to the peace and stability enjoyed in Ilesa and other parts of the state during his tenure. Following his transfer, concerns were raised by some members of the public about the security situation in the state and the impact of his redeployment.
