Gbajabiamila Scandal: Father of alleged PFIPC DG recounts police ordeal

The father of Prince Adebayo Adeniyi has has narrated what transpired at his Ogbomoso residence when operatives searched for his son, the embattled self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC.

Pa Adetunji Ajayi Adeniyi in an interview with Ogbomoso Insight said the police conducted two operations with the first operation around 12:30am on Saturday, when security operatives allegedly invaded his residence in the Technical College area of Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

“We woke up and my wife said, ‘Aren’t people within our compound?’ Then they started banging at the door and windows that we should open the door to the main house,”

“They had jumped over the fence, bending the barbed wires we installed. Those that jumped in now broke the padlock at the gate to allow others to gain entrance.”

“They surrounded the house. They insisted we should open the door but I demanded their identity and they said government security agents and I opened the door,”

“They disclosed they were looking for Bayo. I said I didn’t have Bayo at home,” he stated.

The elderly man alleged that the operatives searched every part of the house, forced open wardrobes and confiscated both his mobile phone and that of his wife before leaving at about 1 a.m.

He said the operatives returned at about 2:30 a.m. and handed the phones back before departing.

He further stated that the police later returned on Monday around 11:30am and took him to the Sunsun Divisional Police Headquarters for questioning over his son’s whereabouts.

“They came back yesterday at about 11:30am. They whisked me away and returned me at about 5pm,” he said.

“They were angry I didn’t know his whereabouts, that I don’t know where my son lives. I said I didn’t say that; I told them he lives in Abuja,” he added.

“I was not mistreated at the station. They just asked me questions about my son’s whereabouts and at about 5pm they returned me home.

“I don’t know the offence of my son. You just said he is wanted. You insisted what was his job and I told you that he said he was working under government in Abuja.

“My son is gentle, he is never a troublemaker, and I know he works in Abuja under the government,” he said
