A court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), after he failed to appear for his scheduled arraignment.
The court ordered Adeyemi’s arrest following his absence during proceedings, directing law enforcement agencies to ensure he is brought before the court to answer the charges against him.
Adeyemi, who has been at the centre of controversy over claims regarding his position within the PFIPC, did not appear as required, prompting the court to issue the warrant.
The development marks a significant turn in the legal proceedings, with authorities now expected to execute the bench warrant and produce him before the court for arraignment.
Further details on the charges and the next hearing are expected as the case progresses.
