• Detention and Health: Following his arrest by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit on October 27, 2025, Adeyemi was detained for 23 days before receiving administrative bail on November 19, 2025, due to health issues, including a reported enlarged liver.

• Failed Arraignment Attempts: Charges were filed on November 27, 2025, but several court dates have been adjourned:

  • February 3, 2026: Adjourned after the defense requested more time to review the charges.

  • February 11, 2026: Postponed because the presiding judge was attending a judicial workshop.

  • April 14, 2026: Adjourned after the defense submitted a letter citing Adeyemi’s illness.

  • June 16, 2026: Adjourned until July 14, 2026, after the defense lawyer stated they were too ill to proceed.

• Origin of Investigation: The probe began after a petition regarding forgery and impersonation was filed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on October 17, 2025.

• Evidence Gathered: During the investigation, police recovered correspondence with various government entities and identified 34 bank accounts linked to Adeyemi, nine of which were reportedly opened under the names of purported government agencies.

• Recent Developments: While President Bola Tinubu has directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the PFIPC scandal within 30 days, this directive is independent of the ongoing criminal case scheduled to resume on July 14, 2026.

Adeniyi Adeyemi, an individual associated with the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), has expressed his readiness to cooperate with security agencies to resolve the uncertainty surrounding the alleged organization. Adeyemi communicated his willingness to assist the Department of State Services (DSS) or the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) during a discussion with social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy follows a statement from the Presidency, via Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, asserting that the PFIPC does not exist.

In response to the situation, Adeyemi has committed to the following:

• He plans to personally report to the DSS or the police to hand over all relevant documentation he possesses.

• He is inviting security authorities to authenticate and verify his documents to help uncover the truth about the agency’s origins, creation, and operations.

• He has stated his full availability to assist any investigative panel that President Bola Tinubu might establish regarding the matter.

• He maintains that he has nothing to hide and welcomes a thorough examination of his records by security services.

“I’m willing and ready to help security agencies or panel set up by Mr President to unravel the truth,” Adeyemi stated, adding that he would be visiting the DSS or police “any moment from now”.

Minister of Education Maruf Olatunji Alausa has praised Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman Ola Olukoyede for elevating the commission’s operational standards to unprecedented levels. This commendation was made on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, during a ceremony where the ministry received furniture items recovered from a cybercrime operation known as “Operation Eagle Flush”.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

• Asset Recovery and Donation: The ministry received 501 double-step bunks, 939 mattresses, and 12 wooden beds with mattresses. These items are earmarked for use in unity colleges across the country.

• Success of Operations: The underlying operation resulted in the investigation and conviction of 792 suspects, including 193 foreign nationals who have since been deported.

• Leadership and Integrity: Minister Alausa lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s talent for strategic appointments, asserting that under Olukoyede, the EFCC has become the “cleanest” in Nigeria’s history. He further noted that the commission now operates strictly within the rule of law, avoiding the harassment or victimization of innocent citizens.

• Proactive Anti-Corruption Efforts: Alausa highlighted that Olukoyede has shifted the commission’s focus from a merely reactive stance to a proactive one, particularly by addressing corruption in government procurement.

• Supporting Youth and Education: Chairman Olukoyede emphasized that since youth are often the primary victims of corruption, they should benefit from recovered assets. He noted that this handover is part of a broader commitment to the education sector, which has already seen ₦50 billion in recovered funds directed to the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and the conversion of Nok University into a Federal University of Applied Sciences.
