Fresh details have emerged in the controversy surrounding the alleged fake government agency linked to Adeniyi Adeyemi, the man accused of illegally operating the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) from Abuja.
The scandal has continued to generate public attention after the Federal Government distanced itself from the agency, insisting that no such council was created and no appointment was made for a Director-General.
At the centre of the controversy is Adeyemi, who allegedly presented himself as the Director-General of the PFIPC and operated from the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja for several months in 2025.
The Federal Government has since filed criminal charges against him, accusing him of forgery and impersonation.
Adeyemi, however, has denied all allegations. He maintains that his appointment and actions were legitimate and has vowed to clear his name in court.
He has also publicly accused the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, of misleading the public over the matter.
New findings have now revealed how the agency allegedly operated behind closed doors and what workers posted there experienced.
Three civil servants deployed to the agency have provided fresh insight into activities within the organisation before it was shut down.
The officials — Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu and Wakili Saidu — were among staff posted from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to the PFIPC.
In separate statements to investigators, the three workers described a workplace that raised serious concerns from the beginning.
According to findings, Adeyemi had written to the Office of the Accountant-General in April 2025 requesting the deployment of accounting and auditing personnel to fill key positions in the agency.
The request reportedly included positions such as Principal Accountant, Accountant I, Principal Auditor, Senior Auditor and Auditor I.
Following the request, at least three officers were eventually posted to the agency in August 2025.
The officers resumed work in September after submitting their posting letters to Adeyemi.
However, what they met at the office reportedly left them confused.
Rather than being assigned duties or properly onboarded, the workers said they were simply given a shared office space and left without clear responsibilities.
One of the staff members, Victor, reportedly said they resumed work expecting to begin official duties but were never assigned any task.
According to him, the situation quickly became suspicious because no work schedule or formal documentation was provided.
Another staff member, Saidu, said there was virtually no communication between him and Adeyemi throughout his time there.
He said despite reporting to work, he received no briefing, assignment or official direction.
Amarachukwu also expressed frustration over the situation.
He reportedly said there was little to do at the office, forcing staff to reduce how often they showed up.
According to him, there was no meaningful activity taking place.
The workers also disclosed that none of them had heard about the PFIPC before receiving their posting letters.
That alone, they said, immediately raised concerns.
Saidu said he only became aware of the agency after seeing his name listed in the deployment notice.
Victor gave a similar account, stating that he had never heard of the organisation before his posting.
The revelations have added a new layer to the scandal, raising fresh questions about how an agency the government now describes as non-existent operated within a federal facility and even received staff postings.
The case has also intensified scrutiny around internal processes within government institutions, particularly how approvals, postings and office allocations were handled.
The matter is expected to remain in focus as legal proceedings against Adeyemi continue.
Recall that the Federal Government filed multiple charges against Adeyemi over alleged forgery, impersonation and the use of fake official documents.
The case is currently before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
