A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the self-acclaimed Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi, after he failed to appear for his arraignment over alleged conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.
Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Adeyemi’s arrest on Tuesday after granting an oral application by the prosecution following the defendant’s absence when the matter was called.
Adeyemi was expected to take his plea on an eight-count charge filed by the Nigeria Police Force over his alleged operation of the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, an organisation the Presidency has said does not exist.
The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, has suffered repeated adjournments. Punch
