The leadership crisis at the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) has taken a new twist. The council’s Director General, Adeniyi Adeyemi, has accused the Nigeria Police Force of holding him illegally.
According to Daily Post, Adeyemi made the allegation while in police custody. He insisted that security operatives had no legal basis to detain him. He also called for a transparent investigation into the dispute over the council’s leadership.
Adeyemi rejected claims that he falsely presented himself as the Director General of the PFIPC. He maintained that his appointment followed due process. He added that the facts would emerge if the authorities carried out an independent investigation.
The detained official urged the police to respect his constitutional rights. He argued that investigators should either charge him before a competent court or release him without delay if there was no case against him.
Furthermore, Adeyemi said the ongoing controversy has created unnecessary confusion around the council. He stressed that a fair and open inquiry would help establish the truth and restore public confidence.
According to Daily Post, the dispute centres on conflicting claims over who has the legal authority to lead the PFIPC. The disagreement has continued to attract public attention as both sides defend their positions.
Meanwhile, Adeyemi appealed to the Federal Government and relevant authorities to ensure that justice prevails. He said transparency remains the best way to resolve the leadership crisis and protect the credibility of the investment promotion council.
The Nigeria Police Force has yet to issue an official response to Adeyemi’s latest allegations. However, the leadership dispute within the PFIPC remains unresolved as stakeholders await further developments.
This case is expected to attract more attention in the coming days as investigations continue and authorities clarify the issues surrounding the council’s leadership.
