The Managing Director of Divine Dopacy Nigeria Limited, Mr. Gbenga Collins, on Tuesday narrated before the House of Representatives how he allegedly paid N400 million to the purported Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, after being promised a contract to renovate and furnish what was presented to him as the official residence of the agency’s chief executive.

Appearing before the House Ad-hoc Committee investigating the alleged establishment and activities of the PFIPC, chaired by Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, Collins said his familiarity with Adeyemi, whom he described as a fellow indigene of Ogbomoso, coupled with the trappings of government authority surrounding him, convinced him that the purported council was a legitimate Federal Government institution.
