The House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Committee investigating the activities of the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) has said it will interrogate the purported Director-General of the agency, Adeniyi Adeyemi, at an undisclosed date and location.
The committee, chaired by Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, is probing allegations of forgery, impersonation, financial impropriety and abuse of public institutions against Adeyemi and the PFIPC.
Speaking during the committee’s public hearing on Tuesday, Gagdi explained that Adeyemi had not been brought before the panel because he remains in police custody under a valid court order.
“For the benefit of the general public, we are not refusing to invite Prince Adeniyi here. We have pronounced him to appear here and police have responded that he is in their custody based on the court order,” he said.
Gagdi stressed that the National Assembly would not violate the constitutional principle of separation of powers by attempting to override a subsisting judicial order.
