President Bola Tinubu directs Nigeria’s Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the alleged “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” (PFIPC) and related matters. Multiple outlets report that the directive is contained in a statement issued by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga. The investigation covers the activities of the purported agency, which several reports describe as “fictitious” or “fake,” along with alleged individuals and collaborators connected to it.
Reports also state that Tinubu orders the ICPC to complete the probe and submit a comprehensive report to him within 30 days. One outlet specifies that the investigation includes Matthew Adeniyi Adeyemi (also referenced as Adeniyi) as part of the alleged PFIPC network.
While the coverage centers on the president’s instruction to the anti-corruption agency, the outlets do not provide additional confirmed findings in this set of reports, focusing instead on the announcement, scope, and deadline of the ICPC investigation.
