Adeniyi Adeyemi Faces Court for Alleged Forgery in 2026
On September 30, 2026, Adeniyi Adeyemi was arraigned before Justice Mohammed Umar at the Federal High Court in Abuja, accused of creating and operating the fraudulent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council. The Nigeria Police Force filed an eight-count charge against him, which includes allegations of forgery, fraud, and impersonation.
Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, represented the prosecution, having been assigned by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation to take over the case. Adeyemi pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The prosecution requested an accelerated trial due to public interest and sought to remand Adeyemi at the Correctional Centre until the trial. Adeyemi's lawyer, Genesis Francis, indicated plans to file a bail application, which was scheduled for hearing on October 12, 2026.
Adeyemi was arrested in Osun State in July after failing to appear for arraignment, and the Presidency has disowned the PFIPC as a fake organization.
