Reps Order Police to Produce PFIPC DG Over Alleged Fraud

The House of Representatives Committee investigating the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council has directed the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to produce the organisation's self-acclaimed Director-General, Adeyemi Adeniyi, before it by noon on Wednesday.

The directive was issued on Monday during the committee's resumed investigative hearing at the National Assembly in Abuja.

Lawmakers are probing how the PFIPC allegedly secured office space at the Federal Secretariat and received a ₦1.32 billion allocation in the 2026 budget despite claims that the council was not legally established.

The Nigeria Police told the committee that its investigation followed petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President alleging that Adeyemi falsely presented himself as Director-General of both the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.

Committee Chairman Yusuf Gagdi said Adeyemi's appearance is necessary to clarify the serious allegations and assist lawmakers in their investigation.
