Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has criticised the Nigeria Police Force’s handling of the questioning of the father of Adeniyi Adeyemi, acclaimed Director General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
Speaking during an interview with Arise News on Tuesday, Falana, who is representing the suspect, said that there was no justification for taking the elderly man to a police station.
Falana said he had been informed by police officers in Abuja that Adeyemi’s father was not arrested but was only invited to assist investigators.
“The reported arrest of Mr Adeyemi’s father cannot be justified under the Constitution, under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, and under the Nigeria Police Act,” Falana said.
