The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has amended its charges against Adeniyi Adeyemi, the purported director-general of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), increasing the counts from 22 to 36 and adding four defendants. The new defendants are Aminu Abdullahi, Ogaba Harry, Florence Omameh, and Patricia Akhigbe. The development stalled the planned commencement of the trial and hearing of Adeyemi's bail application before the FCT High Court in Abuja. The prosecution could not proceed with the arraignment because the fourth defendant, Omameh, was reportedly hospitalised. The judge granted a short adjournment to allow Omameh to recover and appear for her plea, setting the next hearing for November 18.
