IN DETAIL: The eight-count charge filed against convener of ‘presidential promotion council’

Adeniyi Adeyemi, the convener of a purported presidential foreign intervention promotion council (PFIPC), is expected to appear before the federal high court in Abuja on July 27, 2027.

On November 27, 2025, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) filed an eight-count charge against Adeyemi and two others simply identified as Femi and Anu over alleged forgery and impersonation.

In the charge sheet seen by TheCable, the surnames of the two other defendants, who are at large, were stated as “unknown”.

The charges were filed by Wisdom Madaki, legal prosecuting counsel at the directorate of legal services, force headquarters in Abuja.

In the charge sheet, the police accused Adeyemi and the two other suspects of forging presidential letter headed papers.

The police alleged that Adeyemi, Femi, and Anu “forged request for collaboration with the Ministry of the Area of Land requisition and offices across the 36 states of the Federation purported to have been issued from state House Abuja Nigeria”.

The presidency had said Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, alerted the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in October 2025, following complaints that the purported agency was operating alongside the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC).

The presidency added that Gbajabiamila told security agencies that forged appointment letters bearing his signature, reference numbers and official seals were being used to legitimise the fictitious agency.
