Nigeria forgery and impersonation case: Man charged over creating a fake government agency

A Nigerian man has appeared in court, charged with forgery and impersonation.

He is accused of creating a fake government agency linked to the president’s office and posing as director-general of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council since 2024.

The agency was allocated almost $1 million in this year’s national budget.
