The Director General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi, has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged forgery.
Adeyemi was brought before Justice Muhammed Umar on an eight count charge filed by the Federal Government. He has been in police custody since his arrest and was moved to court on Wednesday for the arraignment.
The prosecution alleges that Adeyemi forged an appointment letter purportedly issued by President Bola Tinubu and signed by the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The case centres on allegations that the agency headed by Adeyemi is not a recognised government agency and that the appointment document used to support his position was forged. Adeyemi is expected to respond to the allegations as the case proceeds in court.
