***Seeks administrative clearance to appear before Reps panel
By Henry Ojelu
The embattled Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC, Mr. Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, has asked the House of Representatives to issue an administrative clearance to allow him testify in the investigative hearing of the lower chamber.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, had at the last sitting of the ad-hoc panel investigating the issue last Wednesday, told lawmakers that the police couldn’t produce Adeyemi before the panel because court clearance was needed to present him.
But in a statement by his legal team late Sunday, Adeyemi, currently in custody, said any legislative report on the PFIPC scandal without his testimony was “fundamentally flawed.”
