The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to initiate a thorough investigation into allegations that over ₦6.79 billion in public funds have been misappropriated within the Nigeria Police Force and the Federal Ministry of Police Affairs. This request follows the release of the Auditor-General's Annual Report, which highlights severe financial irregularities, including missing firearms, unauthorized use of police exhibits, and abandoned security projects. SERAP demands that all implicated parties, including contractors and public officials, be prosecuted and that all missing funds and firearms be recovered. The organization emphasizes that these issues pose significant risks to public safety and national security, undermining the operational effectiveness of the police force. SERAP has given a seven-day ultimatum for action before considering legal measures to enforce compliance with their request.
