Fake Presidential Council: Tinubu Orders 30-Day Probe

President Bola Tinubu has ordered a comprehensive investigation into a fictitious body operating under the name “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council,” directing the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to conclude its findings within 30 days.

The directive followed reports that individuals had been parading themselves as officials of the non-existent council, allegedly issuing forged appointment letters, opening bank accounts, and soliciting funds from unsuspecting members of the public and foreign entities. The Presidency described the development as a serious breach of public trust and a threat to Nigeria’s institutional credibility.
