The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tueday confirmed questioning the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, concerning its investigation into the activities of a purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC).
The commission stated that it invited Mr Gbajabiamila to help establish how the organisation operated for about two years from within the Federal Secretariat in Abuja, despite not being established by any law or presidential proclamation.
It said Mr Gbajabiamila fielded questions from investigators when he visited its headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
“Mr Gbajabiamila arrived at the Commission in the afternoon and spent some time attending to enquiries from investigators, after which he departed the premises,” said Okor Odey Head, Media and Public Communications of the ICPC, in a statement on Tuesday.
The commission, which clarified that Mr Gbajabiamila was not arrested, stated that his appearance “was on the invitation of its investigators and consistent with its ongoing efforts to gather all relevant facts in the matter.”
