The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Monday honoured an invitation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, as part of an ongoing investigation into the activities of the alleged fake agency known as the Presidential Fiscal Intelligence and Public Complaints Commission, PFIPC.
Mr Gbajabiamila’s legal counsel, Jiti Ogunye, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, saying his client appeared before the anti-graft agency in compliance with the President’s directive and in cooperation with the commission’s investigation.
According to the statement, the Chief of Staff arrived at the ICPC headquarters at about 3:00 p.m. on Monday, where he gave his testimony and responded to questions from investigators.
“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 15:00hrs on Monday, July 20, 2026, as part of the ongoing investigation into the activities of the ‘PFIPC’ fake agency, among others,” Mr Ogunye said.
He added that after providing his testimony and answering questions from investigators, Gbajabiamila was allowed to leave and had since returned to his official duties.
“My client gave his testimony, responded to questions accordingly, and has returned to his duty post,” the lawyer stated.
The development comes amid the commission’s ongoing probe into the operations of the purported PFIPC, which authorities have described as an unauthorised entity allegedly operating under the guise of a government agency.
Neither the Presidency nor the ICPC had provided additional comments on the matter as of the time of filing this report.
