Published

on

The father of Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, who is facing criminal charges over alleged forgery and impersonation, was reportedly arrested by police operatives on Monday at his residence in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

Residents told journalists that the officers arrived at the family home in several vehicles before taking Adeniyi’s father into custody alongside another man who was said to have been visiting the residence.

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

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, alleged that the officers quickly secured the premises before leaving with the two men, while security personnel reportedly remained in the area for some time after the operation.

Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi is currently standing trial over allegations of forgery, impersonation and related offences arising from claims linked to the purported Presidential Fiscal and Infrastructure Projects Council (PFIPC).

The case remains 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.
