The House of Representatives has directed the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to produce the self-acclaimed Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeyemi Adeniyi, before its investigative committee within 48 hours.
The order was issued on Monday during the resumed hearing of the House committee investigating the activities of the controversial council at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja. Representing the IGP, Assistant Commissioner of Police Bashir Abdullahi appeared before the committee and was directed to ensure Adeyemi is brought before lawmakers by noon on Wednesday.
The committee is investigating how the PFIPC, despite not being legally established, allegedly secured office space at Phase III of the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja and received a budget allocation of ₦1.32 billion in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
The directive followed the Nigeria Police Force’s confirmation that it is investigating petitions from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, accusing Adeyemi of falsely presenting himself as the Director-General of both the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
