Police Arrest Father of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi in Ogbomoso

By Tgnews Reporter

In a development that has sent ripples through the family and raised concerns among legal observers, police officers stormed the Ogbomoso residence of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemip’s family on Monday and arrested his father.

A family friend who was visiting the home at the time was also taken into custody, leaving Adeniyi’s elderly mother in a state of shock, according to reports.

The arrest was confirmed by prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), who spoke to Punch newspaper. Falana expressed strong disapproval of the action, describing it as a “substituted arrest” with no legal justification.

“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?” Falana said.

Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, known as the ‘DG’ of the now-disowned Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), had reportedly given assurances that he would appear in court. His father’s arrest has therefore drawn criticism as an unnecessary escalation that has deeply affected an innocent family.

As of now, details regarding the specific reasons for the arrest and the current location of those detained remain unclear. The incident has once again brought attention to the human cost when law enforcement actions touch the families of public figures.

This story is developing, and more information is expected in the coming hours.
