The family of Adeniyi Adeyemi, described as the purported Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), says a House of Representatives ad-hoc committee investigating the PFIPC matter plans to interrogate Adeyemi while he is held in police custody. According to family members, the committee’s intention is to question him without his lawyers present, which they say would limit his legal representation during the process. Vanguard and The Punch both report that the family has raised alarm over the planned interrogation arrangement, emphasizing that they want Adeyemi’s legal team involved. The reports frame the issue as a concern about procedure and access to counsel during a legislative probe. The sources do not provide details of the committee’s wider allegations or any formal response from the lawmakers. The investigation and the custody status of Adeyemi are presented as ongoing, with the family calling for his rights to be respected by ensuring his lawyers are present.
