Fresh details have surfaced regarding the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi, the individual claiming to be the Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC). After evading security agencies for several weeks, Adeyemi was apprehended by Nigeria Police Force (NPF) operatives near Ilesa, Osun State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Strategic Tracking: The Intelligence Response Team (IRT), led by CSP Moses Lohor, monitored Adeyemi for five days before executing the arrest on Tuesday.
A Fortuitous Dragnet: The IRT team was already in Osun State for a separate security mission related to recent unrest. Adeyemi, who was already on an IRT watchlist, inadvertently walked into this existing security presence.
Failed Prior Tracking: Adeyemi had previously been monitored in Ibadan, Oyo State, by Department of State Services (DSS) operatives, who trailed him but did not make an arrest before withdrawing late last week.
Discreet Execution: To prevent public attention or interference from supporters, the arrest was conducted discreetly. Following his detention, Adeyemi was not taken to the Osun State Police Command but was instead transported to Ibadan before being transferred to Abuja.
Legal Standing: The arrest followed a bench warrant issued by the Federal High Court in Abuja after Adeyemi failed to appear for his arraignment on an eight-count charge, which includes allegations of forgery, conspiracy, and impersonation.
