Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the ‘Director-General’ of the disputed ‘Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC)’, has said his withdrawal from the public is due to threats to his life rather than an attempt to evade law enforcement agencies.
Adeyemi said this on Monday during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
“I’m ready to show my face. I’m not hiding. I’m only fearing for my life because I have it on good authority that my life is in danger,” he said on the current affairs programme, alleging threats to his life.
“There have been several attempts on my life,” Adeyemi said.
When asked how he raised the ₦400 million he claimed was paid through a proxy, Adeyemi said he borrowed it.
“I borrowed the money [₦400 million] for this appointment. In fact, those that I borrowed from have reported to the EFCC,” he said.
He spoke hours after asking President Tinubu to set up an independent panel to probe the matter and said he was “ready” to defend himself.
