The official at the centre of the PFIPC controversy has broken his silence. Adeniyi Adeyemi says he is ready to cooperate fully with the ICPC investigation.
ABUJA, NIGERIA — Adeniyi Adeyemi, who describes himself as the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has pledged to cooperate with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over its investigation into allegations surrounding the organisation. According to a statement attributed to Adeyemi, he is prepared to assist investigators throughout the probe.
Adeyemi said he has nothing to hide and remains committed to complying with all lawful requests from the anti-corruption agency. According to him, he welcomes the investigation and believes it will provide an opportunity to clarify issues surrounding the PFIPC and its activities.
In the statement, Adeyemi urged members of the public to allow the investigation to proceed without speculation. He maintained that he would continue to cooperate with the ICPC by providing any information or documents required during the investigation. He also expressed confidence that the process would establish the facts surrounding the matter.
The ICPC has been investigating allegations linked to the PFIPC following public concerns over the council’s status and activities. The commission has not announced any formal conviction or finding against Adeyemi, and the investigation remains ongoing. Under Nigerian law, individuals under investigation remain presumed innocent unless a court rules otherwise.
The development means the ICPC’s findings will play a key role in determining the next steps in the matter. As the investigation continues, attention is expected to remain on the commission’s actions and any official updates regarding the PFIPC. Stakeholders have also called for transparency and due process to ensure that the investigation is conducted in accordance with the law while protecting the rights of all parties involved.
