ICPC Uncovers Two More Fake Government Agencies in Alleged Fraud Probe

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) says it has uncovered two additional fake government agencies linked to Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, the self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, disclosed this on Thursday while briefing State House correspondents after presenting the commission’s interim investigation report to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Aliyu said investigations confirmed that Adeyemi was never appointed by the Federal Government and that the PFIPC has no legal backing, as it was not established by an Act of the National Assembly or an executive order.

According to the commission, the appointment letter used by Adeyemi was forged, while the fake council unlawfully took over the offices and official instruments of the defunct Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

The ICPC says investigations are ongoing as it works to uncover the full extent of the alleged fraud and bring everyone involved to justice.
