📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
Adeniyi Adeyemi, the detained Director General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), has accused the police of illegally holding him beyond a court order. His lawyer, Prince Ademola Oyedokun, stated that Adeyemi is being kept in custody without being presented before any court or committee, despite a bench warrant only authorizing his arrest. Adeyemi has requested that the House of Representatives conduct their inquiry into the PFIPC in a public session rather than a closed-door meeting. Oyedokun emphasized that the National Assembly has the constitutional authority to investigate the matter openly, and Adeyemi is willing to answer questions publicly. He also noted that an application for Adeyemi's release is pending in court. The lawyer argued that the inquiries should be transparent, as the allegations against Adeyemi were made publicly, asserting that his client deserves the same platform to respond.
