Fake Agency Exposed in Nigerian Presidential Office | Global News
Description
Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu, is demanding answers after a fake government agency—complete with forged documents and a $1 million budget—operated out of his own office. The so-called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council allegedly used a faked signature of his chief of staff to legitimize itself, securing office space, bank accounts, and even diplomatic backing. Police are hunting the director general, who vanished before confessing his innocence. Tinubu has given the anti-corruption commission 30 days to investigate, probing how this scam bypassed safeguards and whether officials helped enable it. Civil society is demanding accountability as the government vows to protect institutional integrity and prosecute all involved.
