The Presidency has exposed the full extent of a sophisticated scam orchestrated by Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, a man who paraded himself as Director-General of a fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council using forged documents bearing the signature of the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.

According to a report by Vanguard Newspaper, the Presidency, in a statement on Wednesday by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, revealed that Adeyemi operated 34 bank accounts, with nine opened in the names of his fake agencies. 

He also fraudulently opened a Central Bank of Nigeria account by misleading the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation. Fortunately, no government funds were transferred into the account before the scam was uncovered.
