ABUJA — The House of Representatives Committee investigating the alleged operation of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, yesterday ordered the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Olatunji Disu, to produce the alleged mastermind, Mr. Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, before it by noon tomorrow.
This is even as the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, revealed that a forged letter which purportedly originated from the State House was allegedly used to secure official government recognition for the PFIPC, also known as Presidential Economic Advisory Council, PEAC.
It issued the directive after the Nigeria Police Force confirmed key aspects of its ongoing criminal investigation, including petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President who alleged that Adeyemi fraudulently presented himself as Director-General of the purported Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
