Police and the Federal Government arraign Adeniyi Mathew Adeyemi, alleged Director-General of a purported Presidential Foreign Investment/Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), before the Federal High Court in Abuja. Multiple outlets report that the case involves allegations including forgery and impersonation, connected to Adeyemi’s claimed role in the purported agency.
According to reports, the charges total eight counts and are read by the court presided over by Justice (or Judge) Muhammed Umar in Abuja. Premium Times and others say Adeyemi pleads not guilty to all eight charges. Vanguard and Legit.ng report that the court remands him in Kuje Prison, Abuja, after the arraignment.
Outlets describe the PFIPC as “alleged” or “non-existent,” reflecting the government’s position that the agency is fake. Daily Post Nigeria focuses on the transfer of Adeyemi to court and the arraignment process, while Vanguard and Punch emphasize the remand in prison. Despite differences in phrasing, the reports align on the core legal steps: arraignment, plea, and remand.
