The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the self-styled Director-General of an alleged “non-existent” Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi.

Justice Mohammed Umar issued the arrest order following an oral application made by the police lawyer, Mr. Wisdom Madaki.
Adeyemi was billed to take his plea on an eight-count charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, relating to forgery, fraud, and impersonation.

However, although the matter was listed as No. 12 on the court’s cause list, the defendant failed to appear for his arraignment, even though a lawyer, Mr. Genesis Francis, announced his appearance on his behalf.

Shortly after the case was called, the prosecution counsel noted that the defendant had repeatedly failed to appear for his trial.
