Nigeria’s Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has filed an amended 36-count charge in the FCT High Court in Abuja against Adeniyi Adeyemi and four serving civil servants. The prosecution says the officials helped facilitate the operations of a purported government body, the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, which it describes as non-existent.
The amendment expands an earlier 22-count case and adds allegations against the newly named defendants. Adeyemi has denied the charges; the claims remain allegations, not findings of guilt. The court adjourned arraignment to Nov. 18 after one defendant was absent on health grounds, according to Premium Times.
