The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urges President Bola Tinubu to order a thorough investigation into allegations that more than ₦6.79 billion meant for the Nigeria Police are missing and that some police firearms are unaccounted for. SERAP’s request is directed at the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, as well as the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, and relevant anti-corruption agencies.
Both reports say SERAP’s call for action is based on findings referenced from the Auditor-General’s report. SERAP also asks that investigators recover any missing public funds and firearms, and ensure that any responsible parties are identified. The request is framed as a step to address potential misapplication or diversion of public resources and to improve accountability in police procurement and expenditure.
As of the reports, the outlets describe SERAP’s demand for government action; they do not confirm whether an investigation has already begun or provide details on any suspects or confirmed losses beyond the allegations being cited.
