ICPC seeks no-fly order on Adeniyi over alleged PFIPC fraud

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is seeking a no-fly and watchlist order against Adeniyi Adeyemi, who is alleged to be connected to a fraudulent entity called the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). According to an ex parte motion filed by ICPC counsel Fatima A. Bardi, Adeyemi is accused of allegedly presenting himself as PFIPC's Director-General, an entity allegedly lacking any lawful establishment, presidential approval, or statutory foundation.

The ICPC wants the Federal High Court in Abuja to halt Adeyemi's travel, both domestic and international, pending the conclusion of its investigation into the alleged fraud involving substantial sums, including N1.3 billion. The ICPC also seeks the surrender of all of Adeyemi's international passports and travel documents. The order would be in effect for 90 days initially, with the possibility of renewal until the investigation or prosecution concludes.
