The Nigeria Police Force will on Tuesday arraign the Director-General (DG) of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Police, in a fresh court document marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, charged Adeyemi and two others with eight counts of forgery and impersonation, among others.
The charge was filed on November 27, 2025.
When the case came up for the suspects to take their plea on June 16, Adeyemi was said to be indisposed and Justice Mohammed Umar adjourned the matter.
According to the court documents, witnesses listed in the case are the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Paul Emmanuel; Jeremiah Imoukhede; and Ituah Sylvester.
Other witnesses are civil servants at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGoF), Akimbo Shola and Adamu Balongu, among others.
The documentary evidence expected to be tendered by police include the police investigation report, Gbajabiamila’s petition dated October 17, 2025, and Adeyemi’s alleged fake presidential appointment letter dated March 8, 2024.
