Allegations of fraud and impersonation hovering over the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council are not difficult to see through only if everyone follows the evidence, and not the noise, writes Olawale Olaleye.

One of the greatest ironies of the Adeniyi Mattew Adeyemi saga is that the man being accused by all and sundry may well be the very official, who initiated the process that exposed the alleged fraud. That irony deserves some reflections.

If available records were correct, complaints were received from the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission regarding suspicious activities linked to the so-called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

The matter was reportedly escalated to the Chief of Staff, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who subsequently referred it to security agencies for investigation.

That referral led to an investigation. That investigation led to an arrest. That arrest led to criminal charges. That prosecution remains before the courts.
