The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, who describes himself as the Director-General of the alleged “non-existent” Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC).

Justice Mohammed Umar granted the arrest order after an oral application was presented by the prosecution counsel, Mr. Wisdom Madaki.

Adeyemi was scheduled to be arraigned on an eight-count charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/562/2025, bordering on alleged forgery, fraud and impersonation.

However, despite the case being listed as number 12 on the court’s cause list, the defendant failed to appear for his plea, although his counsel, Mr. Genesis Francis, announced legal representation on his behalf.

Moments after the matter was called, the prosecution informed the court that the defendant had consistently failed to appear to face the charges against him.

Adeyemi was absent from court on Tuesday when he was expected to take his plea over allegations of certificate forgery.
