The federal government has arraigned Adeniyi Adeyemi, Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
Adeyemi was arraigned before Justice Muhammed Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja this afternoon September 30.
He is facing an eight-count charge bordering on alleged forgery.
The Federal Government alleges that he forged an appointment letter purportedly issued by President Bola Tinubu and signed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
He is also accused of forging presidential letterhead paper.
The charge further alleges that Mr. Adeyemi forged a request for collaboration with the Ministry of the Area Council and requests for land allocation and office space across the 36 states of the Federation, purportedly issued from the State House, Abuja.
When the charges were read to him, he pleaded not guilty.
The court then ordered that he be remanded in Kuje prison.
The court also ordered that Adeniyi remain in prison pending the hearing and determination of his bail application.
