Adeyemi Faces Court for Alleged Fake Agency Creation
Adeniyi Adeyemi was arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja after multiple failed attempts to bring him to court. He appeared on Wednesday at 2:33 p.m., escorted by a female officer from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre.
Adeyemi has been charged with eight counts related to conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation, following his arrest in October 2025 after a petition from Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu. The charges stem from allegations that Adeyemi and two accomplices forged official documents, including a presidential appointment letter and State House letterheads, to operate a fictitious agency, the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
Adeyemi falsely claimed to be the Director-General of PFIPC, an act punishable under Section 179 of the Penal Code. He has denied the allegations.
After failing to appear for a scheduled arraignment on July 14, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest, leading to his capture in Osun State.
