The House of Representatives Committee investigating the activities of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) has directed the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to produce the organisation’s self-acclaimed Director General, Adeniyi Adeyemi, before it within 48 hours.
The directive was issued on Monday during the committee’s resumed investigative hearing at the National Assembly in Abuja.
The committee is investigating how the PFIPC, which lawmakers said was not legally established, allegedly secured office space at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja and obtained a ₦1.32 billion allocation in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
Representing the police, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Bashir Abdullahi, told the committee that an investigation had already led to an eight-count charge against Adeyemi before a Federal High Court on allegations bordering on conspiracy and fraud.
The police also confirmed receiving petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, accusing Adeyemi of falsely presenting himself as the Director General of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
Committee Chairman Yusuf Gagdi said Adeyemi’s appearance was necessary to clarify issues surrounding the investigation, which involves allegations of forged government documents and impersonation.
The committee further heard that investigators had identified about 29 allegedly forged documents, including purported approvals from the State House and other federal government agencies.
It resolved that the police should produce the suspect before lawmakers by Wednesday to assist with the ongoing investigation.
