The Senate Public Accounts Committee, on Tuesday, quizzed the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over concerns regarding 178,459 missing firearms and allegations of N1.1bn contract splitting within the Nigeria Police Force.
During his appearance, Egbetokun apologised for failing to honour previous invitations, explaining that the demands of his office prevented his attendance.
To ensure compliance in future engagements, Egbetokun introduced Assistant Inspector General of Police Abdul Sulaiman, in charge of Police Accounts, as his official representative before the committee.
His apology was accepted by Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central) on behalf of the committee, who emphasised that the IGP’s appearance reaffirmed that no one is above the law.
