Father of Embattled ‘Fake Agency’ DG Defends Son’s Character
The father of Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-proclaimed Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, has spoken out in defence of his son. Adetunji Adeniyi describing his son as a well-behaved and soft-hearted person, saying the recent allegations against him have been heartbreaking.
The elderly man expressed shock at the claims, insisting his son is not the type to engage in such activities.
Adetunji recounted how security operatives raided his home in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, searching for his son. He said the officers jumped the fence, damaged property, and scattered things during the search but did not find Adeniyi. The father claimed he was later taken for questioning and released after making a statement, adding that the experience was distressing for him.
The elderly man said his son had told the family he worked for the government in Abuja but never shared specific details about his office. He expressed surprise at the turn of events, noting that he had seen his son recently before he returned to the capital. The father appealed for calm and understanding as the matter continues to unfold.
This development is part of the larger controversy surrounding the alleged fake agency and its claimed activities. The Presidency has repeatedly stated that no such council exists, and investigations are ongoing into the matter. The family’s response highlights the personal impact of such high-profile cases on relatives.
As authorities continue their probe, many are watching to see how the situation will be resolved. The father’s emotional plea adds a human dimension to the story, reminding the public that behind the headlines are families dealing with difficult circumstances. The case remains a subject of public interest as more details emerge.
