Director-General of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has claimed that he has withdrawn from public appearances because of security concerns, insisting he is not evading law enforcement authorities.
Adeyemi made the assertion during a telephone interview with Channels Television on Monday, days after a United States lobbying firm announced plans to support his bid for asylum in the US, citing alleged threats to his safety.
Rejecting claims that he had gone into hiding, Adeyemi maintained that he was willing to appear publicly despite what he described as serious threats to his life.
“Definitely, I’m ready. I’m ready to show my face. I’m not hiding. I’m only fearing for my life because I have it on good authority that my life is in danger,” he said.
Adeyemi also alleged that there had been multiple attempts on his life but did not disclose further details or identify those allegedly behind the attacks.
