The House of Representatives Committee investigating the alleged operation of a fake presidential agency on Monday ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disun (IGP), to produce the alleged mastermind, Mr Adeyemi Martin, before it on Wednesday by 12 noon.
The committee issued the directive after the Nigeria Police Force confirmed key aspects of its ongoing criminal investigation, including petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President alleging that Adeyemi fraudulently presented himself as the director-general of the purported Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
Chairman of the committee, Rep Yusuf Gagdi, ruled that Adeyemi’s appearance had become necessary because of the gravity of the allegations and their implications for individuals and government institutions.
“This committee clearly needs the suspected DG to appear before this committee,” Gagdi said.
