Police file eight-count criminal charge against convener of ‘presidential promotion council’
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has filed an eight-count criminal charge against Adeniyi Adeyemi, convener of a purported presidential foreign intervention promotion council, over the controversy trailing the agency.
In a statement on Wednesday, Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, said the charges were filed by the police on November 27, 2025 against Adeyemi and two accomplices at the federal high court in Abuja.

I shared this negotiation strategy in 2023. Sharing again.
Two steps:
1. Pretend you didn’t have the full cash. Agree a payment plan of say 6 - 12 months. Negotiate fully and get as much general discount as possible. Seal the payment plan and pay deposit as required.
2. Go back after few days or weeks and say “Oga, you know what? I want to squeeze myself and empty my savings and possibly even borrow from friends to just pay the balance at a go, rather than over 6 -12 months. It’s not convenient but I just want to get this transaction closed. But I will like to request that you knock off N3m from the balance. Not convenient for me, but I may be able to run around and raise the funds within a week”
Most sellers will agree with this, having put their mind in receiving the balance in piecemeal over 6-12 months, now they want to give you at once. They may not give you the entire discount amount you asked for, but it works in high value transaction.
A friend I taught this negotiation strategy saved N8.5m in a purchase in 2023.
