ICPC arraigns alleged ‘fake’ PFIPC DG Adeyemi for forgery and impersonation

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) arraigned Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi on 22 counts of forgery and impersonation before the FCT High Court in Maitama. He is accused of posing as director-general of the allegedly non-existent Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) and obtaining more than 27 billion naira, plus another 3.8 billion naira for personnel costs. Prosecutors allege that Adeyemi forged documents purportedly signed by presidential Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila to claim the appointment and secure offices, vehicles and other benefits. The ICPC says the alleged offences took place between 2024 and 2026; Adeyemi has been in detention since July 14.

DRC: Fayulu condemns Prince Epenge’s detention and demands respect for his fundamental rights

Martin Fayulu has condemned the detention of Prince Epenge, Lamuka spokesperson and ADD Congo president, who was arrested Sunday at N’djili airport while preparing to travel to Rome. Epenge was transferred Tuesday to the Kinshasa/Gombe prosecutor’s office after two days at the National Cyber Defense Council and is accused of spreading false rumors about the death of Manassé Lomboto, who was killed during an opposition march on September 15. Fayulu is demanding respect for Epenge’s rights, an independent investigation and accountability without political pressure, and has urged the courts to examine a complaint filed by the C64. Epenge’s passport, seized by the Directorate General of Migration, has not been returned.
