The Single Sharpest Fact
In a shocking turn of events, Adeniyi Adeyemi, the Director-General of a non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), will face forgery charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja tomorrow.
The Investigation Unfolds
The prosecution, led by police prosecutor Wisdom Madaki, filed an eight-count charge (FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025) on November 27, 2025, against Adeyemi and two other co-defendants. The scheduled arraignment follows a prior delay on June 16, when the defendants were originally scheduled to enter their pleas. Justice Mohammed Umar had adjourned the case after the court was informed that Adeyemi was indisposed.
Key Witnesses and Documentary Evidence
The prosecution has lined up several key witnesses to testify in the case, including Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu, and Wakili Saidu. All three individuals were allegedly deployed to work alongside Adeyemi at the fictitious agency. Other notable witnesses slated to testify include Joy Ngwoke, the owner of Abuja’s Kachi Hotel, and Venerable Okoriko, the pastor of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Maitama. The documentary evidence expected to be tendered by the police includes the police investigation report, Gbajabiamila’s petition dated Oct. 17, 2025, and Adeyemi’s alleged fake presidential appointment letter dated March 8, 2024.
A Fake Presidential Council
Adeyemi was alleged to have operated the fictitious agency from the second floor of the Federal Secretariat Complex, Phase III, Abuja, before his arrest. Persecondnews recalls that last week, President Bola Tinubu had directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of the fictitious agency.
The Scheduled Arraignment
Adeniyi Adeyemi is set to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday to face forgery charges. The case has been adjourned from June 16, when the defendants were originally scheduled to enter their pleas. Justice Mohammed Umar had adjourned the case after the court was informed that Adeyemi was indisposed.
President Tinubu Directives and ICPC Investigation
Persecondnews recalls that last week, President Bola Tinubu had directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of the fictitious agency. ICPC was given a 30-day deadline to complete the investigation and report to the Presidency.
A Look at the Charges
The charges filed against Adeyemi and his co-defendants include forgery, impersonation, and related offenses. Persecondnews has obtained a copy of the eight-count charge (FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025) filed by the prosecution on November 27, 2025.
The Impact on the Presidency
The fake Presidential Council DG Adeyemi's case has drawn attention to the Presidency's role in the creation of such fictitious agencies. Persecondnews understands that President Bola Tinubu has been briefed on the case and has directed the ICPC to conduct a thorough investigation.
Context
It is worth noting that the PFIPC is a fake agency and its activities have been under scrutiny for some time. President Bola Tinubu's directive to the ICPC to investigate the agency's activities is a step towards ensuring transparency and accountability in the government.
