The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2027 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has criticized the arrest of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi’s father, describing it as an abuse of power.
In a post on X shared by his media aide, Paul Ibe, the former Vice President said the action amounted to a “substituted arrest,” which has no basis in Nigerian law.
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), had earlier alleged that police operatives detained Adeyemi’s father amid the ongoing forgery investigation linked to the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
Reacting, Atiku queried the rationale behind the arrest, asking: “What offense has Adeyemi’s father committed in this controversial matter? Why did they allow Prince Adeyemi to sneak away and are now flexing their powers by arresting the father in his stead?”
He accused the Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of “majoring in minors” and demanded the immediate release of Adeyemi’s father.
