A Special Investigation Panel instituted by the
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has
reportedly recovered 19 police vehicles from
former IG, Solomon Arase.
According to Sahara Reporters, some of the
vehicles include assorted sedans, Sports Utility
Vehicles and pick-up vans.
The Inspector-General of Police had ordered an
investigation into the purchase and distribution
of vehicles by his predecessors. Inside sources
say the probe was instituted after it was
discovered that retiring police officers, including
former IGs and Deputy Inspectors-General of
Police, were in the habit of appropriating police
vehicles for their personal use.
The 19 vehicles recovered from Arase are apart
from the four vehicles he was entitled to take
with him on retirement.
A senior officer, who is familiar with the
investigation, said the SIP led by Assistant
Inspector-General of Police, Ali Amodu, (retd.)
was still working to recover five additional
vehicles from the former police boss. A source
in the Police said
“We are making progress in our
investigations. We were able to trace 24
vehicles to the former IG and we have
recovered 19 already. He has yet to
release the remaining five, but we won’t
let up until we recover all the vehicles.
We have pictures of the vehicles and they
have been documented, so he can’t deny
it, the recovery is a fact.”
