Fresh details have emerged on how the alleged fraud involving the disowned Director General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, allegedly penetrated key institutions within the Nigerian Civil Service.

According to Premium Times, documents linked to the case showed that some civil servants and government agencies processed requests that enabled Adeyemi to obtain a Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) account, budget code, office space at the Federal Secretariat, staff deployment and other privileges reserved for recognised government agencies.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that although the documents formed part of the Federal Government’s case against Adeyemi, the report said officials who approved or processed them had yet to be interrogated. Former Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Joe Abah, described the controversy as evidence of serious lapses in public administration.

“Anyhow you look at it, questions are begging for answers. And whatever the answers will be, they will not be good,” Abah said.

According to the report, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nigerian Police Force uncovered the alleged fraud in late 2025. However, no public disclaimer was issued until June 2026.

The report listed several officials and agencies linked to the controversy, including Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, whose alleged appointment letter was described by police as forged. The report noted that investigators had yet to obtain his statement or compare his signature with the disputed document.

Other officials named include Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; former OSGF Permanent Secretary, Nnamdi Mbaeri; OSGF Permanent Secretary, Nadungu Gagare; CBN Director of Banking Services, Hamisu Abdullahi; former Director of Treasury Inspectorate at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), Mulikat Sanni; OAGF Director of Administration, Dauda Abdulhamid; and NITDA Director General, Kashifu Inuwa.

The Budget Office of the Federation, OAGF, CBN, Nigerian Police Force and the Judiciary were also mentioned over issues ranging from budget allocation, account opening, staff deployment, delayed prosecution and the approval of the pfipc.gov.ng government domain.

The report stressed that it could not independently verify the authenticity of the documents but argued that questioning the officials involved would help determine whether due process was followed and how the alleged fraud went undetected for months.
