Police raided my house 3 times, Adeyemi’s father wails

Police operatives raided the home of Pa Adetunji Adeniyi, father of Adeyemi, the self-styled director-general of the "phantom" Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), three times in two days. The operatives allegedly scaled the fence into the compound, destroyed security wire, confiscated phones, and arrested Pa Adeniyi while searching for his son.

Pa Adeniyi recounted that armed operatives first gained access to his compound by scaling the fence and damaging the barbed wire before identifying themselves as government security officials. Upon opening the door, they searched his entire house, including all cupboards.

“

They jumped the fence into my compound and destroyed the security wire at the entrance before entering. They banged my door and identified themselves as government security officials. When I opened the door, they rushed in and searched the entire house, including all the cupboards.

This incident follows Adeyemi's declaration of readiness to cooperate with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate how the "ghost" agency secured a N1.3 billion allocation in the 2026 budget. President Bola Tinubu had issued a 30-day ultimatum to the ICPC to investigate the council, which the Presidency insists is non-existent and fraudulent.

Activist and lawyer Femi Falana, SAN, publicly relayed the raid on senior Adeyemi's home, questioning the legal basis for substituted arrests when the younger Adeyemi had promised to appear in court. Residents of the neighborhood also confirmed the incident.

Police have now stormed the house of the parents of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, Plot 3, Adeniyi Dynasty, behind Technical College, Road Safety Area, Ogbomoso. The father has been arrested. There is no legal basis for substituted arrests. The young man has promised to show up in court, so why arrest his father?
