AN OPEN LETTER TO NYESOM WIKE: YOUR FEAR IS WELL FOUNDED
Letters from Stockholm
Mr. Wike,
You have finally said something I can agree with. You told the nation that your biggest fear is President Tinubu losing next year's election, and that whoever wins — Peter Obi or Atiku — will come for you first. You said, in your own words, "I know they will come for my head."
Let me assure you, Mr. Wike: your instincts are correct. And let me tell you why.
I, Kio Amachree, am doing everything within my power, and using every connection I have, to make certain that the man you have tied your fortunes to never sees a second term. I have written to President Trump. I have written to Secretary Kennedy, with whom my family's history is intertwined. I have written to FBI Director Kash Patel. I have written to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to the Security Council. I have written to the Prince of Wales, to Boris Johnson, to Lord Cameron — my old school connections put to the service of Nigeria. Every letter says the same thing: examine the record of the man who calls himself President of Nigeria.
And what is that record? It is not my invention. It sits in an American federal courthouse. In 1993, the United States government seized $460,000 from accounts linked to Bola Tinubu as proceeds connected to heroin trafficking — Case No. 93 C 4483, Northern District of Illinois. That is not gossip. That is a court record. On August 28, 2026, the FBI confirmed under sworn declaration that it carried out an investigation into his activities. And on that very same day, your principal filed papers fighting to keep those records sealed.
Ask yourself the question every Nigerian is now asking, Mr. Wike: who fights this hard to hide files if the files contain nothing? An innocent man demands his records be published. A compromised man hires American lawyers to bury them.
You say you think about the President's re-election when you sleep and when you eat. While you were thinking, your principal is spending three weeks on holiday in Europe as the case closed in around him, and no photograph with the American President materialised. The man you serve is fighting a rearguard action in a foreign courtroom, and even his loudest defenders are lowering their voices. You have chained yourself to a sinking anchor and you are only now noticing the water.
And a word about Rivers State, Mr. Wike, because this is personal to my family's legacy even if it is not personal to you. My father, Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC, was among the founding fathers of Rivers State — Nigeria's first Solicitor-General, the first African Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations. On his grave and on my ancestors I make you this promise: the accountability that is coming for your principal will not stop at your principal. The emergency rule, the billions, the arrogance — all of it will be examined lawfully, openly, and without fear. Not mob justice. Épuration légale. Courts, records, questions, answers.
So yes, Mr. Wike. Be afraid. Not of assassins — nobody wants your head. Be afraid of something far worse for men like you: due process.
You wanted a fight. Let's tango.
Kio Amachree

NIGERIAN ARMY INTELLIGENCE SCHOOL CONDUCTS LECTURE ON TERRORISM FINANCING AND ILLICIT ECONOMIES SUSTAINING VIOLENT NON-STATE ACTORS
The Nigerian Army Intelligence School (NAIS), Tego Barracks, Apapa, Lagos, has conducted a lecture on terrorism financing and illicit economies sustaining violent non-state actors for students of its Second Quarter Courses. The lecture was held on 29 June 2026 and was facilitated by resource persons from the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) as part of the school's continuous efforts to enhance the professional competence of its students in addressing contemporary security challenges.
Speaking during the lecture, the Team Leader from the NFIU, Mr Aderemi Olugbemi, highlighted the various channels through which terrorism is financed, noting that poorly monitored natural resources and other processed materials could serve as major sources of funding for terrorist and other violent non-state actors. He underscored the importance of robust inter-agency collaboration in disrupting illicit financial flows and safeguarding Nigeria's national security. Mr Olugbemi further urged students to leverage intelligence gathering and information sharing in combating emerging security threats.
In a related presentation, another resource person from the NFIU, Mr Mustapha Umar, delivered a lecture on the statutory roles of the NFIU in combating terrorism financing and money laundering in Nigeria. He emphasised the agency's mandate in financial intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination, while stressing the need for sustained collaboration among security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies to effectively counter financial crimes that fuel terrorism.
The lecture featured an engaging interactive session during which the students actively participated by asking insightful questions and making valuable contributions, reflecting their keen interest in the subject matter.
The event culminated in the presentation of souvenir to the team of resource persons by the Commandant, Brigadier General David Umaru, in appreciation of their invaluable contributions towards enriching the knowledge and operational preparedness of the students.

Today in Nigeria’s next-door neighbour, the Niger Republic, if you are caught stealing 1 million dollars, you get the death penalty.
This is a nation that is serious about its future.
The first sign to look for in sensible leadership is their stance on tackling corruption.
Meanwhile, Tinubu’s Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila is enmeshed in a 1.3 billion naira scandal, and his boss Tinubu has allocated all our major infrastructure projects to his godfather’s company, the same man who laundered money for Abacha.🤦🏾♂️
Tinubu has proven to be an embodiment of corruption, and Nigeria can NEVER rise with such people in power.
GO GET YOUR PVC, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE!
"The chief of Staff to the President must also step aside, so that a thorough investigation can be conducted into this allegations..."

Fake Agency in Nigeria: We Are Witnessing the Institutional Destruction of Our Country - Tietie
This is a huge intelligence failure on a national scale. If there is an independent report and the President tolerated this, it is an impeachable offence. If the National Assembly wasn't playing along with the President, it should have queried him. This is an embarrassment.

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
Re: The Matter of Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew and the fictitious Presidential Economic Advisory Council
We are aware of the public interest in the matter of a man called Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who has been parading himself as the director-general of a fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council cum Presidential Economic Advisory Council.
The office of the Chief of Staff to the President first blew the whistle on the existence of the illegal agency, following complaints from officials of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council that another government agency appeared to be functioning at cross-purposes with it.
The Chief of Staff, on October 17, 2025, in a letter, asked the DSS and the Police to probe the activities of ‘fraudsters and imposters’ forging appointment letters purportedly from his office.
“The attention of this office has been drawn to the activities of certain individuals and groups engaged in the forgery of official appointment letters purportedly issued from my office. The fake documents, bearing falsified signatures, reference/folio numbers, and seals, have been used to claim leadership appointments to non-existent entities, with particular reference to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
“The aforementioned entity under the leadership of one Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew as Director-General is said to have an office at the Federal Secretariat Complex Phase 111, 2nd Floor. Also, they have been parading themselves as a legitimate government agency, hosting meetings with both foreigners and Nigerian citizens, and even going so far as to request a note verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United States of America to facilitate visas for some of their staff.
“The above development not only constitutes a serious criminal act but also undermines the integrity of the presidency and the credibility of official government communication.
“I therefore urge you to initiate a thorough investigation to identify and apprehend those involved and also to uncover the network facilitating the forgery,” the Chief of Staff wrote in his petition to the security agencies.
The letter to the security agencies was accompanied by a copy of the forged appointment letter, a copy of the request for a note verbal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pictures of engagements obtained from the illegal agency's website.
Around the time the Chief of Staff lodged the complaint with the security agencies, the existence of the fake agency had raised concerns within the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
In a letter on October 15, 2025, the Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote to the office of the National Security Adviser and the Chief of Staff to the President, requesting clarification on the status of Adeyemi’s agency. The letter, which Ambassador Anderson Madubuike signed, followed Adeyemi’s October 10 meeting with ambassadors at the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, without recourse to the ministry.
“This act contravenes extant rules and regulations guiding diplomatic practices globally,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in its letter.
On October 20, the Office of the National Security Adviser wrote to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on the request of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
On 29 October, the OSGF wrote to the Chief of Staff requesting clarification. “This has become expedient owing to several requests from governmental and non-governmental bodies seeking to ascertain the status of the appointment under consideration”
Two days earlier, the Chief of Staff sent his own clear rebuttal to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, stating that he had never issued an appointment letter to Adeyemi as director general of the fake presidential foreign investment promotion council. The Chief of Staff could not have issued a letter of appointment to a non-existent agency. Moreover, the Chief of Staff does not make appointments or write letters, as these are the exclusive preserve of the Office of the Secretary of the Government of the Federation.
On November 5, 2025, the Chief of Staff responded to the OSGF, again flatly denying Adeniyi Adeyemi and his spurious agency. “Prince Adeniyi Matthew, director-general of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, is unknown to any office, nor do we have any dealings with the said council.
“My attention was drawn to a letter of this purported application, which is fake, and my office has instructed the police and other relevant security agencies to carry out investigations on the person and the entity he claims to represent”, the chief of staff wrote.
The Police made the first move by responding to the chief of staff's letter dated 17 October and began their investigation. On 27 October, Adeyemi was arrested in Abuja at the Secretariat office where he operated his elaborate scam.
The police searched the office and Adeyemi’s home in Suleja, recovering vital documents and exhibits. In Adeyemi’s statement to the police, he claimed that one Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola assisted him in procuring the fake appointment letter. Following his claim, the police went after the said Tanimola. The Police found that Tanimola died in a fire incident at Kachi Hotel in Abuja on 22 October, five days before Adeyemi’s arrest. Tanimola’s body was seen by the police at the morgue, confirming the death.
The police were able to establish that the agency Adeyemi purportedly headed was fictitious, that he forged his appointment letter and the documents recovered in his office and home, that he falsely paraded himself as a government appointee, and that he falsely solicited a note verbal from the Foreign Affairs Ministry to enable him and his staff to obtain US visas. The police also found that Adeyemi operated 34 bank accounts, with nine opened in the names of his fictitious agencies, known as the FCT Investment Promotion Agency and the Public Private Partnership (FIPA-APP), and the FCT Investment Promotion Act.
The Police found that Adeyemi, using the fake documents he created, fraudulently opened a CBN account by misleading the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation. According to the police, no government money has been transferred into the account.
“The act of the suspect constitutes criminal forgery, impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, thereby bringing the office of the Chief of Staff to the President and the Presidency to disrepute before the public and international community”, the police wrote in the report of the investigation conducted by the assistant commissioner, Kabir Mogaji.
Based on their investigations, the police filed an eight-count charge at the Federal High Court in Abuja against Adeyemi and two of his accomplices on November 27, 2025. He is due in court on July 27.
Adeyemi was on police bail when he recently claimed that the Chief of Staff had appointed him as DG of the fictitious agency. This claim contradicted his statement to the police in November last year. His new claim prompted the Chief of Staff, on June 8, to issue a disclaimer consistent with earlier advisories that the man, called Adeyemi, is an impostor.
The case of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew is a clear case of a con artist who appears to have built a web of false claims to deceive unsuspecting government officials and the public into playing by his scam book. He has a history of fraudulent misrepresentation. In November 2016, he paraded himself as an ambassador and President-General of the World Youth Organisation (WYO), an affiliate of the United Nations (UN). He claimed to have been elected in New Delhi, India. The local media celebrated him until the UN denied the existence of such a body.
Politicians and members of the public who are weaponising Adeyemi's claim against the Chief of Staff should refrain from swallowing his narrative hook, line and sinker. They are advised to await the trial of Adeyemi and his accomplices, as well as the court's judgement, as comments made today are sub judice.

These newly surfaced clips of my interactions with Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola are yet another reminder that my commitment to the struggle for justice, democracy, and the liberation of Nigeria did not begin today. Long before many of those now occupying positions of power found their voices, I was already on the frontlines of the June 12 struggle, standing with Nigerians against military dictatorship and demanding that the people’s mandate be respected.
The irony is striking: many of the opportunists, enablers, and pretenders who either opposed, ignored, or later hijacked that democratic struggle are now in positions of authority and seek to suppress those who remained faithful to its ideals. They may wield state power today, but history has shown repeatedly that repression cannot extinguish a just cause.
These clips are not merely historical artifacts; they are evidence of consistency. They show a young activist standing with the democratic movement when it was dangerous to do so, and they connect directly to the same principles that continue to guide the struggle today.
Those who now deploy the machinery of the state against dissent should remember that every generation produces its oppressors and its resisters. The oppressors enjoy temporary power; the resisters ultimately inherit history.
They will be defeated. The cause of justice endures. The struggle continues. #TakeItBack #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident
