Forgery charge: Alleged ‘fake’ PFIPC DG Adeyemi fails to appear in court

Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), has failed to appear in court for his arraignment on charges of forgery, fraud, and impersonation. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, involves allegations that Adeyemi forged official documents to create the illusion that the PFIPC was a legitimate federal government agency. Police are considering applying for a bench warrant for his arrest due to his absence. Adeyemi claims he is avoiding public view due to threats to his life but insists he is not evading justice. He alleges he paid N400 million to President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to secure his appointment as DG of the PFIPC. The investigation began after the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President reported concerns about forged documents linked to the PFIPC.
