Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, who allegedly presented himself as the Director-General of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and Presidential Economic Advisory Council, has maintained that his appointment was genuine.

Adeyemi, who is facing charges over alleged conspiracy, forgery and impersonation, said the matter was already before a court and expressed confidence that he would be vindicated.

He stated this on Thursday during a telephone interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme.

Asked if he was evading the law, Adeyemi replied, “Not at all.”
