The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre), a prominent anti-corruption organization, has formally petitioned the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, to launch an immediate investigation into allegations of mismanagement and corruption within the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF).
In a petition dated August 21, 2023, addressed to the NSA, HEDA voiced its deep concern over recent reports published by The Nation news online platform. These reports detailed serious allegations of financial misconduct and misadministration within the NPTF.
The primary issues raised in the petition revolve around the alleged mishandling of funds designated for the Nigeria Police Force. HEDA contends that the trustees and administrators of the NPTF have operated without accountability, neglecting their duty to provide necessary funding, modern equipment, training, and welfare support for police personnel. This alleged mismanagement is particularly concerning given the ongoing security challenges confronting the nation.
The petition, signed by HEDA’s Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, also points out that previous complaints regarding these allegations were lodged with both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
