Acclaimed Director General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi after his arrest.
A United States lobbying firm hired by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Von Batten-Montague-York, says it will brief members of President Donald Trump’s administration on the arrest of self-acclaimed Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
The Washington-based firm disclosed this in a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, hours after Adeyemi was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force following a bench warrant issued by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The firm claimed Adeyemi’s arrest came as it was preparing to facilitate discussions between him and senior members of the Trump administration over allegations he had made against top Nigerian government officials.
“We learned a short time ago that Mr. Adeyemi has been arrested by Nigerian law enforcement just as we were preparing for him to speak with senior members of President @realDonaldTrump’s Administration,” the statement read.
