The father of Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, who is currently standing trial over alleged forgery and impersonation, was reportedly arrested by police operatives on Monday in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
Residents said the arrest took place at the family’s residence, where police officers reportedly arrived in several vehicles before taking Adeniyi’s father and another man, believed to have been visiting the home, into custody.
According to eyewitnesses, the operation attracted the attention of residents and caused concern within the household, particularly for the suspect’s elderly mother.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, alleged that the officers swiftly secured the premises before leaving with the two men, while security personnel remained in the area for some time after the operation.
Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi is facing criminal charges bordering on alleged forgery, impersonation, and related offences linked to claims surrounding the purported Presidential Fiscal and Infrastructure Projects Council (PFIPC). The matter is currently before the court.
As of the time of filing this report, the Oyo State Police Command had not issued an official statement confirming the reported arrests or stating the reasons for the operation.
