EXCLUSIVE: Apart from PFIPC, Adeyemi created other fake agencies, opened bank accounts for them – ICPC

Adeniyi Adeyemi, accused of posing as the Director-General of the illegal Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), is alleged to have created additional fictitious government agencies, namely the FCT Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA) and the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency and Public-Private Partnership (FIPA-PPP), using forged legislative documents. According to an interim report by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), these fake entities were presented as legitimate federal institutions, and Adeyemi submitted fabricated documentation to Unity Bank to open two accounts under their names. The ICPC confirmed that PFIPC was never officially established by the federal government and that Adeyemi was never formally appointed. The commission recommended prosecuting him for forgery, impersonation, and related offenses. The investigation was initiated at the request of President Bola Tinubu, who ordered a probe into PFIPC. This case highlights broader concerns about the misuse of government structures and the potential for fraud through forged documents.
