NGThe Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi after he failed to appear for his arraignment on charges related to operating a non-existent agency called the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). The court dismissed his defense lawyer's claim that Adeyemi was absent due to fears for his safety, stating it was not sufficient reason to avoid appearing in court.
