The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the purported establishment of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) says it has uncovered an elaborate scheme involving the alleged forgery of presidential documents, mutilation of an Act of the National Assembly and the unauthorised use of the names and identities of senior government officials to give legitimacy to the agency.
It also said that about 39 people were presented or represented as employees of the organisation. At the same time, approximately 58 bank accounts were linked through the Bank Verification Number (BVN) and other identifying details associated with Adeniyi Adeyemi, who presented himself as the council’s director-general.
The committee, chaired by Yusuf Gagdi (APC Plateau), disclosed these while presenting its preliminary findings on Wednesday in Abuja
The committee presented the report after weeks of investigations into how the organisation operated within the federal bureaucracy despite the government’s position that it was never legally established.
The findings are a sequel to concerns about the processes by which a purported government agency was able to secure a place in the 2026 Appropriation Act, occupy an office within the Federal Secretariat, obtain official-looking number plates, and establish relationships with several government institutions.
