The Police is set to arraign Adeniyi Adeyemi, the Director-General of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to court documents marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, Adeyemi and two others are facing an eight-count charge filed by police prosecutor Wisdom Madaki on November 27, 2025.
The arraignment was initially scheduled for June 16, but was adjourned by Justice Mohammed Umar after Adeyemi was reported to be indisposed.
The prosecution has listed several witnesses, including the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, alongside Paul Emmanuel, Jeremiah Imoukhede and Ituah Sylvester.
Other witnesses include officials from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), Akimbo Shola, Adamu Balongu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, as well as Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu and Wakili Saidu, who were allegedly posted to work with the purported agency.
Also expected to testify are Joy Ngwoke, owner of Kachi Hotel in Abuja, and Ven. Okoriko, pastor of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, Maitama.
The police said documentary evidence to be tendered before the court includes the investigation report, a petition submitted by Gbajabiamila dated October 17, 2025, and an alleged fake presidential appointment letter issued to Adeyemi on March 8, 2024.
Other documents listed by the prosecution include correspondence allegedly sent by Adeyemi to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, approvals reportedly obtained to open accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), requests submitted to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation for self-accounting status, and documents relating to the purported establishment of the PFIPC.
The prosecution also intends to present letters seeking collaboration with government agencies for land acquisition and office spaces across Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as statements from witnesses and defendants and photographic evidence.
NPO reports that Adeyemi had, for three years, run the “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” (PFIPC) which the Presidency described as non-existent.
He had alleged that the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila requested N27.4bn and collected N400m through intermediaries to facilitate his appointment as director-general, with an outstanding balance of N200m.
He further claimed that disagreements over the unpaid balance resulted in threats to his life, including alleged assassination attempts.
