The House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts has raised alarm over a suspected fake letter linked to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Investment Council, warning that the document could mislead stakeholders and undermine ongoing investigations.
Chairman of the committee disclosed this during a session in Abuja, stating that the letter, which purportedly originated from a government office, contained inconsistencies that raised serious doubts about its authenticity. He noted that preliminary findings suggest the document may have been circulated to influence public perception and disrupt the committee’s oversight work.
According to the lawmakers, the letter allegedly addressed sensitive financial and administrative issues tied to the council, prompting concerns about possible forgery and institutional sabotage. The committee has since directed relevant agencies to investigate the origin of the document and identify those responsible.

Lawmakers stressed that the circulation of falsified documents poses a threat to transparency and accountability, especially in matters involving public funds and governance. They reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring due process and maintaining the integrity of parliamentary investigations.
The committee also urged the public and media organisations to verify information before dissemination, warning against the spread of unverified claims capable of distorting facts.
Investigations into the Investment Council’s operations are ongoing, with the committee promising to provide updates as more facts emerge.
