The arraignment of Adeniyi Adeyemi, the man accused of creating and operating the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has been repeatedly delayed since he was charged by the police in November 2025 due to a series of adjournments arising from requests by the defence, court scheduling issues and claims of ill health, PREMIUM TIMES can now report.
Court documents and police case diary reviewed by this newspaper show that Mr Adeyemi was arrested by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit on 27 October 2025 and remained in detention for 23 days before he was granted administrative bail.
According to the records, he was released on 19 November 2025 on health grounds after submitting a medical report to support his bail application.
“He got ill in police custody and was having an enlarged liver,” one police source told our reporters, explaining the reasons for the bail.
The police subsequently filed charges against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja on 27 November 2025.
