Millions Spent on Police Food Supplies Sparks Controversy

Records indicate that the Nigeria Police Force, under Inspector‑General Kayode Egbetokun, has made substantial payments for food supplies, sparking public scrutiny over spending practices.

The force reportedly spent hundreds of millions of naira on items such as canned fish, powdered milk, and other provisions intended for officers on duty across the country. These purchases, made through private suppliers, have raised concerns about transparency and the management of public funds.

Civil society groups and members of the public have questioned whether the spending reflects fair market value and proper oversight. The reports highlight broader debates about accountability in government procurement.

The Nigeria Police Force has yet to publicly address the spending or explain the procurement process behind these high-value transactions.
