Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claimed to be the Director-General of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has been arrested after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered his arrest.
Security operatives arrested Adeyemi shortly after Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a warrant for his arrest.
Adeyemi was scheduled to take his plea on an eight-count charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025.
The charges involve forgery, fraud and impersonation.
Adeyemi failed to appear in court for his arraignment. The case appeared as No. 12 on the court’s cause list.
His lawyer, Mr. Genesis Francis, announced his appearance before the court despite the defendant’s absence.
