Alleged Fake Agency Scam: Police to Arraign Director-General on Tuesday

Adeniyi Adeyemi, who allegedly headed a fictitious organization called the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), is set to be arraigned in the Federal High Court. The police have charged Adeyemi and two others with eight counts, including forgery and impersonation, in a court document filed in November 2025.

The case stems from Adeyemi's alleged operation of the non-existent agency from the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja. President Bola Tinubu had previously directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the agency's activities within 30 days.

Witnesses listed in the court documents include the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, along with several civil servants from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation and individuals allegedly posted to work with Adeyemi. Documentary evidence expected to be presented includes Gbajabiamila's petition, Adeyemi's fake presidential appointment letter, and various official requests and approvals he purportedly obtained.

The prosecution intends to call additional witnesses as needed. The charges detail Adeyemi's alleged misuse of power and engagement in fraudulent activities through the PFIPC, which operated without official recognition.
