The House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee investigating the activities of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has directed the Inspector-General of Police to produce the self-acclaimed Director-General of the disputed agency, Adeniyi Adeyemi, before it within 48 hours.

The committee directed the Inspector-General to ensure Adeyemi appears before lawmakers on 29 July 2026 at 12 noon, as its investigation into the PFIPC continues.

The directive came on Monday as the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, disclosed that his office rejected a request by the PFIPC to open a Treasury Single Account (TSA), citing the agency’s failure to satisfy mandatory due diligence requirements.

Appearing before the House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee, Ogunjimi explained that although the council applied to open a TSA account, the request was declined pending compliance with established due diligence procedures.

The PFIPC controversy erupted after Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the disputed agency, alleged during a press conference that the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, demanded 48 per cent of the council’s proposed ₦27.3 billion take-off grant.

Adeyemi further alleged that the Chief of Staff received ₦400 million through a proxy and later requested an additional ₦200 million to facilitate presidential approvals.

Gbajabiamila, however, rejected the allegations in a sworn statement, maintaining that he had no personal, official, or professional relationship with Adeyemi.

He also denied demanding or receiving any money, abusing the powers of his office, or interfering with law enforcement agencies.

The Chief of Staff further dismissed allegations linking him to the death of Babatunde Tanimola, whom Adeyemi claimed acted as an intermediary, as well as claims that he was connected to an alleged assassination attempt on Adeyemi or had interfered with investigations by security agencies.

Following the allegations, President Bola Tinubu directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the matter.

Two weeks ago, Gbajabiamila filed a ₦15 billion defamation suit against Adeyemi at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

In the suit, he is seeking ₦10 billion in general damages, ₦5 billion in aggravated damages, ₦200 million as the cost of the action, and an order compelling Adeyemi to publish a retraction and apology in five national newspapers and across all social media platforms where the allegedly defamatory statements were published.
