Adeniyi Adeyemi has been re-arraigned before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja on 22 counts of forgery, impersonation and fraud involving an alleged N30.8 billion government funding request. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include forging a letter dated March 8, 2024, purportedly signed by Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, appointing him director-general of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) alleges Adeyemi used forged documents to gain access to government facilities, seek public funds, obtain a domain name, and secure office space and vehicles by offering N210,000 and N300,000 to officials Aminu Abdullahi and Ogaba Harry respectively. He is also accused of obtaining N20 million from Oyekunle Gbenga of Divine Dopacy Nigeria Limited under the pretence of a project facilitation loan tied to a purported N2.8 billion contract.
