Justice Umar Dismisses FG Charges Against Adeyemi
On October 12, 2026, Justice Mohammed Umar terminated the trial of Adeyemi at the request of the Federal Government, which sought to move the case to the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory for a fresh arraignment. Rotimi Oyedepo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Director of the Public Prosecution of the Federation, presented the application for the termination of charges.
Oyedepo informed the court that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice reviewed the case file and discovered several loopholes in the charges filed by the Inspector General of Police. He indicated that the documents allegedly forged by Adeyemi during his operations of the fake agency could only be prosecuted by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, not the Federal High Court.
