The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has explained why the alleged self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, was not produced before the House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Committee investigating the activities of the purported agency.
The explanation was contained in a letter to the committee, which was read on Wednesday by the panel’s chairman, Yusuf Gagdi (APC, Plateau), after Adeniyi failed to appear before lawmakers as earlier directed.
Reading the letter, Gagdi said the police informed the committee that Adeniyi remains in custody over an ongoing criminal investigation bordering on conspiracy and forgery.
“We have a standing rule. We are mindful of it,” Gagdi said while explaining the contents of the IGP’s letter.
