Court strikes out Nigerian govt’s charges against fake PFIPC DG

At Monday’s proceedings, the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, moved the application seeking the termination of the case. Oyedepo told the court that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had reviewed Adeyemi’s case file and the charge initially filed by the Inspector-General of Police, identifying some loopholes.

He said the documents allegedly forged by Adeyemi while operating the purported agency constituted offences that could be prosecuted by the FCT High Court rather than the Federal High Court.

The DPPF added that a fresh charge had been filed before the FCT High Court and that Adeyemi would be arraigned afresh without delay.
