Investigators reportedly debunk forged signature, trace alleged ₦400m to Adeyemi’s accounts
Findings contained in reports attributed to the Nigeria Police Force and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have reportedly cleared the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, of alleged involvement in the activities of the fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
The investigations, according to the reports, instead shifted attention to the alleged mastermind of the fake agency and several government officials accused of facilitating aspects of its operations.

Police forensic analysis reportedly established that the signature of Gbajabiamila appearing on a purported PFIPC appointment letter was forged.
The financial investigation also reportedly found no evidence that the Chief of Staff received any portion of the alleged ₦400 million associated with Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, who was arrested over the alleged impersonation and fraudulent activities.
Forensic Analysis Allegedly Debunks Gbajabiamila Signature
According to the reported police findings, forensic examination of the document bearing Gbajabiamila’s purported signature showed that it was not genuine.
The development is significant because the alleged appointment letter had reportedly been used to give credibility to the activities of the fictitious agency and create the impression that it had presidential backing.
Investigators reportedly concluded that the purported legal instrument establishing the PFIPC was also fake.
The suspect was allegedly using the documents to gain access to government offices and structures while presenting the fictitious organisation as a legitimate government body.
No Evidence Gbajabiamila Received Alleged ₦400m
The financial aspect of the investigation reportedly produced another major finding.
Investigators allegedly found no evidence linking Gbajabiamila to any portion of the ₦400 million said to be connected to the activities of Adeyemi.
Rather, the money was reportedly traced to accounts associated with Adeyemi, where investigators allegedly identified expenditures including vehicle purchases, personal expenses, transfers to family members and other transactions.
The findings, if sustained, could further undermine claims linking the President’s Chief of Staff to the alleged financial activities of the fake agency.
Gbajabiamila Had Reportedly Raised Alarm Since 2025
The reports further indicated that Gbajabiamila had alerted security agencies to the alleged impersonation and misuse of his name as far back as October 2025.
His petition reportedly triggered investigations into the activities of the alleged impostor and eventually led to Adeyemi’s arrest.
The development has consequently placed Gbajabiamila in the position of a complainant whose name was allegedly exploited rather than an accomplice in the operation.
Five Government Officials Named
While the investigation reportedly found no link between Gbajabiamila and the alleged ₦400 million, investigators identified five government officials whose alleged roles in facilitating the fictitious agency are now under scrutiny.
They include:
Mrs. Rosemary Omaye Achem, Special Assistant (Administration) to the Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation, who was allegedly linked to budget creation and insertions for the fake agency.
Ms. Patricia Akhigbe, Assistant Director, Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, was also reportedly linked to alleged budget creation and insertions.
Dr. Joshua Kadmi Luka, Director (CAD), Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, was allegedly linked to the creation of government accounts and the National Chart of Accounts code associated with the operation.
Dr. Mimi Abu, Director, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, was reportedly linked to alleged establishment approval and organisational structure issues.
Mr. Harry Ogaba, a seconded staff member from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, was also identified among officials allegedly involved in facilitating aspects of the operation.
The allegations remain subject to due process and should not be interpreted as proof of criminal liability against any of the named officials.
22 Suspects Questioned As Probe Widens
The investigation reportedly widened beyond the principal suspect, with 22 individuals said to have been questioned by investigators as authorities sought to establish how the fictitious agency allegedly gained access to government structures.
The findings raise questions about possible administrative loopholes that may have allowed an allegedly non-existent government body to obtain official-looking documents, interact with government institutions and allegedly pursue financial opportunities.
Investigation Shifts Focus From Gbajabiamila
The reported police and ICPC findings have shifted the centre of attention away from Gbajabiamila and towards the alleged impostor and individuals suspected of facilitating the fake agency’s operations.
Forensic findings reportedly established that the signature attributed to the Chief of Staff was forged, while financial investigators allegedly found no evidence that he benefited from the ₦400 million under investigation.
The case is expected to remain under scrutiny as investigators continue examining the alleged roles of the suspect and the government officials identified in the reports.
Authorities are expected to determine, through further investigation and due process, whether the officials named in the reports knowingly facilitated the alleged operation or were themselves deceived by the fictitious agency.
