Court Dismisses Charges Against Fake PFIPC Director Adeyemi
On October 12, 2026, a Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Mohammed Umar, struck out the eight-count criminal charges against Adeniyi Adeyemi, who was accused of being the fake Director General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). The federal government requested the termination of the charges, stating that Adeyemi would be arraigned afresh at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory.
Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, informed the court that a review by the Attorney General of the Federation revealed loopholes in the case. The charges included allegations of forgery, fraud, and impersonation.
Adeyemi, 38, was arrested in Osun State in July after a bench warrant was issued for his failure to appear for arraignment. He was being tried alongside two others whose identities remain unknown.
