🚨 Exposed: Alleged Embezzlement of Police Funds Under IGP Egbetokun Sparks Outrage Recent reports have surfaced alleging that the quarterly allocation of ₦4 million (approximately $2,500) designated for state police commands has been misappropriated by the Police Management Team under the leadership of Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun. This revelation has intensified concerns over financial mismanagement within the Nigeria Police Force. Further compounding these concerns, an investigation highlighted that divisional police offices across the country operate on meager quarterly budgets ranging between ₦15,000 and ₦30,000. This inadequate funding reportedly hampers effective policing and may inadvertently foster environments where corruption can thrive.  Adding to the controversy, the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) has been embroiled in a financial scandal. Members of the PCRC have called on IGP Egbetokun to investigate the National Chairman, Mogaji Olaniyan, over allegations of misappropriating funds totaling over ₦60 million. Despite petitions submitted, there has been little to no action taken on the matter.   These allegations have led to public outcry, with citizens and civil society organizations demanding transparency and accountability within the police force. The hashtag #EgbetokunMustGo has been trending on social media platforms, reflecting the growing demand for leadership change. #EgbetokunMustGo #PoliceReform #AccountabilityNow #EndCorruption

JUST IN: Reps Propose ₦5M Fine or 7-Year Jail Term for Bribe Takers — “No More Business as Usual” In a bold legislative move, the Nigerian House of Representatives is considering a bill that would slam anyone caught collecting bribes with a seven-year jail term or a ₦5 million fine. The proposed law, if passed, would mark one of the most aggressive anti-corruption penalties ever tabled in the country’s National Assembly. What the Bill Proposes: • A 7-year prison sentence OR • A ₦5,000,000 fine (or both in some cases) …for individuals convicted of soliciting or receiving bribes in any form—cash, gifts, or favors. The proposal comes amid increasing frustration among Nigerians over the normalization of bribery across all sectors—from police checkpoints and hospitals to courts and public offices. Many see corruption not as the exception but the rule, with even basic services often requiring “something for the boys.” According to lawmakers backing the bill, the aim is not just punishment but deterrence. “We want to send a strong message,” one lawmaker said during plenary. “Bribery is no longer business as usual.” Reactions online have been swift and divided. While many citizens welcomed the bill, saying it’s long overdue, others questioned its feasibility in a system where bribery is deeply rooted—and often protected by those in power. “Nice law, but who go arrest the people collecting the bribe when the arresting officer sef dey collect him own?” a user tweeted. Others argued that the bill should also aggressively go after those offering bribes—not just those receiving them. Real Change or Political Posturing? Analysts are skeptical about the practical enforcement of the bill, noting that similar anti-corruption laws exist but are rarely applied to the powerful. Without a strong and independent judiciary, many fear this new law could end up as another “paper tiger.” Still, the symbolic weight of the bill sends a message: the National Assembly wants to be seen doing something about Nigeria’s corruption crisis. ⸻According to TrendingEx #EndCorruption #BribeBill #NigeriaReps #AntiBriberyLaw #NaijaPolitics #7YearsForBribe
