“Ghost Agency Scandal: Resurfaced Video Shows Alleged Agency DG Confronting Gbajabiamila Amid ₦1.3 Billion Controversy”
A video showing Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, the man at the centre of the alleged ₦1.3 billion “ghost agency” controversy, confronting the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has resurfaced online, reigniting public debate over the high profile allegations.
The footage, which has been widely circulated across social media platforms, captures Adeyemi publicly addressing Gbajabiamila over issues linked to his claimed position as Director General of an agency whose legal status has come under intense scrutiny.
The renewed circulation of the video follows recent reports questioning the existence and legitimacy of the agency allegedly headed by Adeyemi, as well as the circumstances surrounding the reported disbursement of public funds connected to the institution.
Although the video has generated fresh public interest, it does not independently verify the allegations surrounding the reported ₦1.3 billion expenditure or establish any wrongdoing by individuals mentioned. Authorities have yet to announce the outcome of any official investigation or legal proceedings relating to the claims.
The controversy has intensified calls from civil society organisations and members of the public for greater transparency, accountability, and stronger oversight of government agencies and public spending. Governance analysts say the incident highlights the importance of due diligence in the creation, funding, and monitoring of public institutions.
As discussions continue, observers have urged Nigerians to rely on verified information while awaiting official findings from relevant government agencies responsible for investigating allegations involving public funds.
