The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has filed amended charges against Adeniyi Adeyemi, the purported director general of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
The prosecution counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, told the court that ICPC expanded the previous 22 counts to 36.
Tahir said that the four suspects are Aminu Abdullahi, Ogaba Harry, Florence Omameh and Patricia Akhigbe and included in the new charge. The case was originally filed by the Nigerian police. Monday’s proceedings, which originally slated for hearing of Adeyemi’s bail application, was halted because of the charge amendment, requiring all defendants, including Adeyemi, to enter their pleas. the plea taking could not proceed because the fourth defendant, Omameh, was absent from court on health grounds.
