The detained Director General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, says police are holding him unlawfully and is calling for his case to be reviewed publicly by Nigeria’s House of Representatives. In statements relayed through his lawyer, Adeyemi argues that his detention goes beyond the scope of a court order cited to justify his custody. He also urges lawmakers to question him at an open public sitting rather than in a closed-door session, according to reports.
Both outlets describe his demand for greater transparency in the ongoing parliamentary process related to his detention. One report says Adeyemi asks that the House probe him openly, while the other frames his position as a response to what his side describes as “fake” involvement by a detaining authority. The police position is not detailed in the provided reports. The accounts focus on Adeyemi’s allegations that his detention is improper and his request for public access to questioning before legislators.
