The father of Adeyemi Adeniyi, an alleged impersonator involved in the ‘fake Presidential Council’ saga, was reportedly arrested by police officers on Monday in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

Neighbours told journalists that the arrest took place at the family’s residence, where officers reportedly arrived in several vehicles before taking Adeniyi’s father and another man said to have been visiting the home into custody.

Eyewitnesses said the operation drew the attention of residents and caused anxiety within the household, particularly for the suspect’s elderly mother.

A resident, who requested anonymity, alleged that the officers quickly secured the premises and left with the two men, while a security presence remained in the area for some time after the operation.

Adeyemi Adeniyi is currently standing trial over allegations of forgery, impersonation and related offences arising from claims linked to the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council/Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PFIPC/PEAC).

The case is pending before the court.

As of the time of filing this report, the Oyo State Police Command had not issued an official statement confirming or explaining the reported arrests.
