The Nigeria Police Force is set to arraign Adeniyi Adeyemi, who allegedly presented himself as the Director-General of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged forgery, impersonation and related offences.
Drivetvnews gathered that Adeyemi and two other defendants are facing an eight-count charge in suit number FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, filed by police prosecutor Wisdom Madaki. Their arraignment, initially scheduled for June 16, was postponed after Adeyemi was reported ill and has now been fixed for Tuesday.
According to court documents, the prosecution has lined up several witnesses, including the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, whose petition reportedly led to the investigation. Other witnesses include officials of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, police investigators, and individuals allegedly recruited to work for the purported agency.
The police said they intend to tender documentary evidence, including the investigation report, an alleged fake presidential appointment letter dated March 8, 2024, correspondence seeking official recognition from government institutions, documents relating to the opening of Central Bank accounts, and records connected to the establishment of the alleged agency.
Investigators alleged that Adeyemi operated the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council from the Federal Secretariat Complex, Phase III, Abuja, before his arrest.
Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu has directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the activities of the alleged fictitious agency and submit its findings within 30 days.
