Nigerian police have arrested the man behind a fake government agency that operated out of the presidency's office for nearly two years.

Court documents accuse Adeyemi and two others of using forged documents to set up and run the council, opening bank accounts in its name, and seeking official government recognition for an agency that didn't exist.

Police made the arrest after a Federal High Court in Abuja issued a warrant on Tuesday.
