THE Federal Government, on Tuesday, set up an eight-man panel to
investigate the rot in all the police training institutions in the
country between 2009 and 2012, during which over N2 billion was released
for the institutions.
A source at the Police Affairs Ministry
told the Nigerian Tribune that the committee, headed by Mr E A Bature,
Director, Special Duties, Ministry of Police Affairs, was inaugurated in
Abuja on Tuesday by the Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Captain Caleb
Olubolade (retd) and had one week to submit its report.
The
source said the committee was expected to determine the utilisation of
funds appropriated and donations received by the Nigeria Police for
renovation/upgrade of the institutions in the period under review.
It
was gathered that the colleges got N700 million in 2009; N759.5 million
in 2010; N291,946,530 in 2011 and N296,757,230 in 2012.
Institutions
under investigation included Detective College, Enugu; PMF Training
School, Gwoza and Ila-Oragun; ATS Training School, Nonwa Tai; Police
Colleges in Ikeja, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Oji-River; PTS Iperu, Ibadan,
Oyin-Akoko; Mounted Troop and Dog training Schools, Ikeja and Kaduna.
The
committee would ascertain “if the heads of the NPF formations were
regularly updating the police anagement on the conditions of the
institutions between 2009 and 2012.”
