Reps Panel Clears Gbajabiamila, Names Adeniyi as Face of Fake Federal Agency Scheme
A House of Representatives committee investigating a fake federal agency has cleared Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila of wrongdoing, while identifying Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi as the principal figure behind the alleged scheme. The panel’s preliminary findings uncovered an elaborate operation involving a purported federal agency, fabricated presidential correspondence, a fake Executive Order and an altered document presented as an Act of the National Assembly, with the committee confirming the organisation, referred to as PFIPC, was never lawfully established. Investigators are examining about 58 linked bank accounts and an alleged N400 million transaction tied to the scheme, with Adeniyi Adeyemi identified as the principal person associated with the purported agency. The committee stressed that evidence before it does not establish that Gbajabiamila authorised or participated in the organisation, cautioning that no criminal guilt has yet been established against anyone named in the ongoing probe.
