Prince Adeyemi Remanded in Kuje Prison for Forgery Charges
Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, identified as the alleged fake Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has been remanded in Kuje Prison following his arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja. He faces an eight-count charge filed by the police on behalf of the Federal Government, which includes allegations of conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation.
The charges stem from accusations that Adeyemi conspired with two accomplices, who remain at large, to forge presidential appointment letters and other official documents linked to the fictitious agency. During the proceedings, Adeyemi pleaded not guilty to all charges before Justice Mohammed Garba Umar.
Prosecutor Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, argued for Adeyemi's remand in custody due to his behavior prior to arrest. Adeyemi's lawyer, Genesis Francis, indicated that a bail application had been filed.
The case has been adjourned to October 12, 2026, for trial and to address the bail request. Adeyemi was previously ordered to be arrested after failing to appear for his arraignment.
