On Wednesday, the Federal High Court in Abuja remanded Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, into custody. Adeyemi, 38, pleaded not guilty to eight counts of conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation. He was arraigned before Justice Mohammed Umar after the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice took over the case from the Nigeria Police Force.
The prosecution, led by Rotimi Oyedepo SAN, argued that the court should accept the existing charge and proceed with the arraignment, citing Adeyemi's conduct prior to his arrest and arraignment. The defence, however, requested the court to consider his client's bail application, which had already been filed. The judge declined to hear the bail application due to the volume of cases on the court's docket. The trial and hearing of the bail application will continue on October 12, 2026.
