Di House committee wey dey investigate di controversial PFIPC make dis revelation for Wednesday, September 2, 2026, as dem present dem preliminary report about di council and how e enter inside di 2026 Federal Budget Framework.

Di chairman of di committee, Yusuf Gagdi, talk say information wey dem collect from financial and investigative authorities show say Adeyemi identity details connect to around 58 personal, company, organisation and foundation bank accounts.

According to di committee, more than 30 of di accounts appear to dey operate under di names of about nine agencies, companies, foundations and other related bodies.
