Court Denies Bail to PFIPC DG Adeniyi Adeyemi
On September 7, 2023, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, rejected a bail application filed by Adeniyi Adeyemi, the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC). The court ruled on a fundamental rights suit brought on Adeyemi's behalf, declining to grant his requests for release, bail, and access to medical treatment without first hearing from the respondents.
Justice Egwuatu ordered the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney-General of the Federation to provide Adeyemi access to his lawyers. The court mandated the IGP, police, and AGF to show cause within 72 hours regarding the remaining reliefs sought by Adeyemi, including his release from custody and bail pending the determination of the suit.
The matter was adjourned until September 9, 2023, for the respondents to present their case.
