**The short version**

- The House of Representatives ad hoc committee found no legal basis for the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), reporting forged documents and unauthorised use of government identities.
- About 58 bank accounts were linked to Adeniyi Adeyemi, the council’s self-proclaimed director-general, through Bank Verification Numbers and other details.
- The committee cleared Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila of involvement, stating he acted against the fake agency after concerns were raised.
- The panel identified 12 fake agencies or entities associated with the PFIPC and reported a ₦27.4 billion take-off grant, though disbursement remains unverified.

A Nigerian House of Representatives ad hoc committee has released preliminary findings from its investigation into the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). The committee reported that the PFIPC had no legal establishment, citing forged presidential documents, a mutilated Act of the National Assembly, and the unauthorised use of senior government officials’ identities.

The committee, chaired by Yusuf Gagdi, linked approximately 58 bank accounts to Adeniyi Adeyemi, who presented himself as the council’s director-general. It also identified about 12 fake agencies or entities associated with the PFIPC. The panel cleared Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila of involvement, stating that evidence showed he acted against the fake agency after concerns were raised.

The investigation followed the inclusion of the PFIPC in the 2026 federal budget, which allocated about ₦1.3 billion to the council. The committee noted a reported ₦27.4 billion take-off grant but said it was still determining whether any funds were disbursed. The findings are preliminary and do not represent the committee’s final report.

25 of 31 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-09-03T07:15:33.823942+00:00.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 1 time; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-09-03T07:30:33.775Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The three left-rated digests led on the scale of the financial network uncovered. Vanguard News and Premium Times Nigeria both reported the committee’s finding of 58 bank accounts linked to Adeyemi. Punch Newspapers highlighted an alleged ₦400 million transaction alongside the 58 accounts, as well as the committee’s identification of 12 fake agencies.
- All three digests carried the committee’s clearance of Gbajabiamila. Vanguard News and Premium Times Nigeria also noted the committee’s finding that the PFIPC had no legal basis, with Vanguard News specifying forged executive orders and a mutilated National Assembly Act.

### Centre

- The three centre-rated digests led on the forgery of documents. AllAfrica’s full report detailed the committee’s findings on forged appointment letters, executive orders, and a mutilated Act of Parliament. Daily Post Nigeria and Channels Television both reported the uncovering of fake documents in their digests, with Channels Television also noting that Gbajabiamila acted against the fake agency after concerns were raised.
- All three centre-rated reports carried the 58 bank accounts linked to Adeyemi and the committee’s clearance of Gbajabiamila. AllAfrica’s full report also included the committee’s finding that the PFIPC operated under multiple names and had no legal establishment.

### Right

No separate framing summary.

**Provisional coverage gap:** right. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
