Alleged PFIPC DG Claims He Was Detained While ₦1.3bn ‘Ghost Agency’ Budget Was Approved, Demands Probe
The man who claims to be Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has broken his silence. In an interview with social media activist VDM, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew says he was in police custody when the 2026 budget was prepared. Adeyemi insists he had no role in drafting or defending the agency’s ₦1.3 billion allocation. He was detained for 23 days and could not have attended any budget sessions. He questions how a body the Presidency calls “non-existent” survived every approval step, from the Budget Office to presidential assent. He has offered to hand over all records to security agencies and demands a full investigation. Critical questions remain: Who authorised the line item? Which officials overlooked the agency’s legal status? Investigations are ongoing as the Senate and Presidency trade blame.
