  "summary": "The House of Representatives has cleared Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, of any involvement in the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) scandal. An ad hoc committee investigating the controversy found that Gbajabiamila neither authorized nor approved the establishment or activities of the organization. The committee also uncovered about 58 bank accounts allegedly linked to the detained Director-General of the purported council, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, as well as an alleged N400 million transaction under investigation. Gbajabiamila took prompt action after concerns about the PFIPC were brought to his attention, communicating with relevant security and investigative agencies.",
