The House of Representatives has directed the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to produce Director-General Adeyemi within 48 hours over allegations of fraud linked to the agency under his leadership.
The directive was issued during a plenary session as lawmakers expressed concern over the allegations and called for a swift investigation into the matter. Members of the House said the order was aimed at ensuring accountability and enabling relevant authorities to establish the facts surrounding the claims.
According to the lawmakers, the Inspector-General of Police is expected to ensure that the official is presented within the stipulated timeframe to assist with ongoing legislative inquiries and any related investigations.
The development reflects the National Assembly’s continued oversight role and its commitment to promoting transparency and accountability in public institutions. Lawmakers emphasized that allegations of fraud involving public officials should be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the law.
As of the time of publication, the Nigeria Police Force had not publicly responded to the directive, while DG Adeyemi had not issued a statement regarding the allegations. The claims remain allegations, and no court has found the official guilty of any wrongdoing.
