The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ,ICPC, has confirmed the appearance of the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday, 20th July, 2026, to give a statement in connection with the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council ,PFIPC.
A statement by the ICPC spokesperson, John Okor Odey revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR had directed the Commission to investigate how the PFIPC, an entity already disowned by the Presidency as fraudulent, came to operate from within the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, for a reported period of about two years, under one Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, who is alleged to have paraded himself as the Director-General of the controversial Council.
The statement by the anti-graft agency informed that Mr. Gbajabiamila arrived at the Commission in the afternoon and spent some time attending to enquiries from investigators, after which he departed the premises.
The Commission also confirmed that the Chief of Staff’s visit was “on the invitation of its investigators and consistent with its ongoing efforts to gather all relevant facts in the matter. He was not arrested; he simply willingly honoured an invitation.”
Odey assures that investigations continue in the matter, and promises that further updates will be made available as appropriate.
