The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi after he failed to appear for his scheduled arraignment on charges regarding the activities of the fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
Judge Mohammed Umar issued the warrant for the defendant’s arrest following an oral application by the prosecution.
The judge waved away Mr Adeyemi’s lawyer excuse for his client’s absence to issue the arrest order.
The defence lawyer said his client was absent from court because he feared for his life and that he had written a letter to President Bola Tinubu regarding it.
He added that Mr Adeyemi intended to stay alive to face his trial.
