Adeniyi Adeyemi, the controversial Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), is challenging allegations of involvement in a “fake agency” scandal. Multiple outlets report that Adeyemi is in police custody and is publicly disputing claims against him. Rather than limiting his response to his own actions, he alleges that other federal institutions were involved or contributed to the situation. The reports say Adeyemi claims that key offices and agencies interacted with the PFIPC during the period in question, and that broader institutional failures allowed the conduct now under investigation to continue. The Punch reports that Adeyemi “fights back” by pointing to additional MDAs, while Legit.ng frames the response as part of a growing scandal occurring alongside a “tight investigation.” Both accounts describe his assertions as a defense strategy and indicate that investigators are assessing his claims about the role of other agencies. The specific allegations and the identities of the agencies he names are not fully detailed in the provided excerpts, but the consistent theme is that the police probe involves cross-agency cooperation and compliance failures, with the DG now pointing investigators toward additional potential responsibility.
