Court Strikes Out Charges Against Alleged Fake PFIPC Director-General

A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out the eight-count criminal charge filed against Adeniyi Adeyemi, who was accused of presenting himself as the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council. Justice Mohammed Umar ended the case after the Federal Government applied to withdraw it. Prosecutors said Adeyemi would instead be arraigned afresh at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory. The Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation said a review by the Attorney-General of the Federation found that the alleged forged documents fall under the jurisdiction of the FCT High Court rather than the Federal High Court.
