FG FILES FRESH 36-COUNT CHARGE AGAINST ALLEGED FAKE PRESIDENTIAL AGENCY BOSS ADENIYI ADEYEMI, FOUR OTHERS
The Federal Government has filed a fresh 36-count amended charge against Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew and four civil servants over allegations of forgery, impersonation, false representation, corruption and fraud connected to the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council. The Presidency says the organization never legally existed and that Adeyemi was never appointed to lead it. Monday’s arraignment was postponed because one defendant, Florence Omameh, was ill, with Justice Yusuf Halilu fixing November 18 for all five defendants to enter their pleas. Adeyemi remains in Kuje Correctional Centre while the other defendants present were remanded in ICPC custody.
