The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has questioned Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, over his alleged role in the emergence of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC).
Gbajabiamila’s lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, confirmed on Monday that his client honoured the commission’s invitation and appeared before investigators at the ICPC headquarters.
According to Ogunye, the President’s Chief of Staff gave his testimony, responded to questions from investigators, and subsequently returned to his official duties.
«”In full cooperation with the ICPC, acting as directed by the President of Nigeria, I hereby confirm that my client, Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President of Nigeria, responded to the invitation of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and appeared at about 3:00 p.m. on Monday, July 20, 2026, as part of the ongoing investigation into the activities of the ‘PFIPC’ fake agency, among others,” Ogunye said.»
«”My client gave his testimony, responded to questions accordingly, and has returned to his duty post.”»
The development comes weeks after President Bola Tinubu, on July 2, directed the ICPC to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the PFIPC controversy.
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga had disclosed that the President instructed the anti-corruption agency to conclude its investigation and submit a comprehensive report within 30 days.
