BREAKING: Reps Order IG to Produce Alleged Fake PFIPC DG Adeyemi Within 48 Hours

The House of Representatives Committee investigating the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) has directed the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to produce the organisation’s self-acclaimed Director-General, Adeyemi Adeniyi, within 48 hours.

The order was issued on Monday during the committee’s resumed investigative hearing at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.

Representing the Inspector-General, Assistant Commissioner of Police Bashir Abdullahi appeared before the lawmakers and was instructed to ensure Adeyemi appears before the committee by noon on Wednesday to assist with its ongoing investigation.

The committee is probing how the PFIPC, despite reportedly lacking legal establishment, allegedly secured office space in Phase III of the Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja, and received a budgetary allocation of ₦1.32 billion in the 2026 Appropriation Act.

During the hearing, the Nigeria Police Force confirmed key aspects of its criminal investigation, including petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President alleging that Adeyemi falsely presented himself as the Director-General of both the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.

Chairman of the committee, Yusuf Gagdi, said Adeyemi’s appearance was necessary in view of the weight of the allegations and the public institutions linked to the matter.

The committee also directed its clerk to formally notify the Inspector-General of Police of its resolution, insisting that Adeyemi must appear before lawmakers on Wednesday.
