Adeniyi Adeyemi Pleads Not Guilty in PFIPC Forgery Case
Adeniyi Adeyemi, the Director-General of the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), pleaded not guilty to forgery-related charges during his arraignment before Justice Umar Mohammed. The Nigeria Police Force had previously issued an arrest warrant against him due to his absence from court.
Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, from the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (OAGF), announced the AGF's decision to take over the case. The charges, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, also include two unnamed defendants.
Justice Mohammed scheduled hearings for the bail application and trial on October 12 and 13, ordering Adeyemi to be remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre. The prosecution plans to call several witnesses, including Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President.
Adeyemi has called for an independent investigation into the alleged financial demands linked to his appointment and the existence of the PFIPC, which he claims is referenced in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
