UPDATED: Tinubu suspends three permanent secretaries over fresh fake agency, orders alleged promoter’s arrest

President Bola Ahmed has ordered the suspension of three Permanent Secretaries linked to the operations of a newly discovered fake agency, according to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The fake agency, named "National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office," was discovered operating from the office space within the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

The announcement came after the ICPC found the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) operated by Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has also ordered a forensic audit of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to address the loopholes and prevent future occurrences. Prince George Buchi Nwabueze, the promoter of the new fake agency, is set to be arrested immediately.
