The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says a N100 million transfer into the personal account of Victor Egbetokun, son of Kayode Egbetokun, the outgoing inspector-general of police (IGP), was made in error and has since been returned.
The clarification follows an online report alleging that the funds were transferred from the Anambra State Government’s security vote account into Victor’s account.
Speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, on Monday, the police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the transaction was immediately flagged and reversed.
“You could remember when he (Omoyele Sowore) said N100 million was paid into the account of the son of the IGP. I called the son of the IGP immediately to know what was going on, and he explained,” Hundeyin said.
Hundeyin described the development as a mistaken transaction, adding that the funds were returned to the Anambra State Government’s account shortly after the alert was received.
