Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew has become one of the most talked-about figures in Nigeria following allegations that he presented himself as the Director-General of a government agency the Presidency insists does not exist.
Adeyemi, who describes himself as a public administrator and investment promoter, is currently facing an eight-count charge before the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of forgery, impersonation and operating a fictitious government agency.
Despite the criminal charges, he has continued to insist that he is the legitimate head of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, an agency the Presidency has repeatedly described as non-existent.
