Tinubu, ICPC chair in talks at Aso Rock

President Bola Tinubu held a meeting with Dr Musa Aliyu, the chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja on Thursday. Aliyu arrived at the Villa Premises around 05:40 pm for the discussion. This meeting took place a day after Tinubu directed the Federal Executive Council to conduct a thorough forensic investigation into the fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) scandal.

The ICPC had earlier disclosed the existence of two more fabricated agencies operating within government institutions, following Aliyu's submission of the commission's interim report on the PFIPC investigation on August 6, 2026. The report revealed that Adeniyi Adeyemi, the promoter of the PFIPC, had never been appointed by the Federal Government, and that the PFIPC was never established by any legal document.

The commission also found that Adeyemi had created two additional fictitious agencies and unlawfully seized the office of the defunct Presidential Economic Advisory Council. The ICPC's recommendations included prosecuting Adeyemi, imposing administrative sanctions on public officials involved in the scandal, and implementing institutional reforms to enhance internal controls.
