The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Adeniyi Adeyemi, the self-proclaimed Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), in Osun State, just hours after a Federal High Court in Abuja issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
Adeyemi was arrested after failing to appear before Justice Mohammed Umar on Tuesday for his scheduled arraignment over an eight-count charge bordering on alleged forgery, fraud and impersonation.
Earlier that day, the court granted the prosecution’s application for a bench warrant after Adeyemi was absent when the case, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, came up for hearing.
The charges, filed on November 27, 2025, by police prosecutor Wisdom Madaki on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, accused Adeyemi and two other defendants of forgery, fraud and impersonation linked to the activities of the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
The prosecution is expected to present several witnesses during the trial, including the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Paul Emmanuel, Jeremiah Imoukhede and Ituah Sylvester.
Also listed as witnesses are officials from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, Akimbo Shola and Adamu Balongu, as well as a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who are expected to testify as the case progresses.
