Reps Launch Probe into ₦6 Billion Police Contract and Asset Sales Scandal

The House of Representatives has initiated a formal investigation into the Nigeria Police Force following allegations of contract splitting and questionable asset sales worth ₦6 billion. This probe stems from a petition submitted by a coalition of over 30 civil society organizations, led by the Peering Advocacy and Advancement Centre in Africa (PAACA).

At the heart of the controversy is a ₦6 billion contract for police uniforms allegedly awarded to Crown Natures Nigeria Plc on January 16, 2024. Instead of following due procurement process, the contract was reportedly split into 66 smaller contracts, each under ₦100 million. Critics say this was a deliberate attempt to bypass procurement laws and avoid scrutiny.

Even more troubling, the funds used for the contract were reportedly drawn from the operational budget of the police—funds specifically meant for critical items like arms, vehicles, and emergency responses. According to internal sources, the Director of Finance within the force raised concerns over the legality of this move. Nevertheless, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, allegedly approved the disbursement of ₦2 billion to the contractor.

Adding to the controversy are claims of unauthorized sales of police properties. Several barracks in prime locations such as Jabi, Falomo, and Kano were allegedly transferred to a private company, Exima Realty, said to be linked to close associates of the IGP.

These serious allegations have prompted the House to demand full disclosure of all contract documents, payment records, and approval memos. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has also been petitioned to investigate the matter.

As the investigation unfolds, Nigerians are watching closely, hoping for transparency, accountability, and justice. The outcome of this probe could serve as a defining moment in the ongoing fight against corruption in Nigeria’s public institutions.
