Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, described by the outlets as a self-styled Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), does not appear in court for his scheduled arraignment. Multiple reports say the case is before Justice Mohammed Umar, at the Federal High Court in Abuja, and is listed as eight-count charge number FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025. The allegations involve forgery, fraud and impersonation, according to the summaries provided by the outlets. Vanguard, Daily Post Nigeria and Information Nigeria all report that Adeyemi is to take his plea, but the matter may not proceed because he fails to show up for the arraignment hearing.
One outlet characterizes PFIPC as possibly “non-existent” or refers to Adeyemi as an alleged “fake” DG, reflecting the reporting context around the claims. However, the core point across the sources is procedural: the arraignment hearing is not completed as scheduled due to Adeyemi’s non-appearance and his plea has not yet been taken in the referenced case.
