Reps Order IGP to Produce Alleged Fake Agency DG Within 48 Hours

The House of Representatives has directed the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, to produce the self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeyemi Adeniyi, within 48 hours as part of an ongoing investigation into the activities of the controversial organisation.

The directive was issued during a resumed hearing by the House committee probing the operations of the PFIPC. Lawmakers are investigating allegations that the organisation, which they say lacks legal backing, secured office space at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja and received a ₦1.32 billion allocation in the 2026 Appropriation Act.

Committee Chairman Yusuf Gagdi said Adeyemi's appearance had become necessary because of the seriousness of the allegations and the number of government institutions linked to the matter. He instructed the police to ensure the suspect appears before the committee by noon on Wednesday to clarify issues surrounding documents presented during the investigation.

Representing the IGP, Assistant Commissioner of Police Bashir Abdullahi informed the committee that the police had already filed an eight-count charge against Adeyemi before the Federal High Court. He added that while investigations were ongoing, the police would avoid disclosing details that could prejudice the court proceedings.

During the hearing, the committee also examined documents allegedly linked to the organisation and was told by police investigators that several signatures did not match authentic government records. Lawmakers said the probe had uncovered numerous suspected forged documents allegedly used to legitimise the activities of the purported agency, vowing to continue the investigation until all issues are resolved.
