The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has launched a manhunt for Adeniyi Adeyemi, Director-General of the discredited Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), according to Naija News.
The manhunt follows escalating scrutiny of the PFIPC, a body not officially recognized by the Nigerian government. The council has come under intense public and security agency scrutiny amid allegations of operating under false pretenses.
Amid the widening investigation, Adeyemi announced he would submit documents to Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) and the police. The disclosure, reported by Vanguard News, suggests an attempt to provide clarity amid the controversy. Adeyemi stated, “I’ll give documents to DSS, Police,” signaling a potential effort to cooperate or pre-empt further action.
As of now, Adeyemi remains at large, with police forces actively seeking his arrest. The NPF has not disclosed the specific charges under investigation, but the manhunt indicates a formal escalation by state authorities.
The PFIPC’s legitimacy has been widely questioned, with no official record of its establishment by any arm of the Nigerian government. Its activities, including claims of foreign intervention mandates, have drawn skepticism from legal and security experts.
