Detained Director-General of the alleged PFIPC, Adeniyi Mathew Adeyemi, has been denied bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja. Justice Obiora Egwuatu ruled that Adeyemi must remain in custody until the court addresses the reasons for his detention by the Nigeria Police Force. The court postponed a hearing until all parties in the suit can present their arguments.
Adeyemi's lawyer, Mohammed Abdulazeez, argued for bail, but the court decided to hear the police's perspective first. The detainee, who was arrested in Osun State two months ago, sued the Attorney-General of the Federation, Inspector-General of Police, Nigeria Police Force, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police in the case. His requested reliefs include bail, release from detention, access to medical care, and protection against forced interrogation or statement making.
The police are currently prosecuting Adeyemi for charges of forgery, impersonation, and other unspecified offenses.
