Meeting with Adeyemi on PEAC/PFIPC Probe Stalled
The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating the controversies surrounding the Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PEAC/PFIPC) and its Director-General, Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi Mathew, had a planned meeting with him on Monday that was stalled. The committee, chaired by Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, is set to reconvene on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, to meet with representatives from various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) related to the investigation.
Adeyemi, currently detained by the police following a bench warrant issued by Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja, failed to appear for arraignment on an eight-count charge including conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation. The committee had previously met Adeyemi briefly in police custody, where he insisted on having his lawyer present before making substantive statements.
The committee's efforts to secure his appearance had faced challenges due to his detention.
