Former Inspector General of Police, Sunday Ehindero has been remanded in Kuje prisons, Abjua following his inablilty to meet bail conditions set by court.

Ehindero is on trial for allegedly embezzling N16 million meant for the police force, while at the helm of affairs. The prosecutor, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other related offences commission(ICPC) said the money was the interest that accrued to N567 million donated to the police, for the procurement of arms, ammunition and riot control equipment, by the Bayelsa State Government. Bayelsa State Government made the donation when President Goodluck Jonathan was the state’s governor.

The ICPC alleged that Ehindero and a suspended Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget at the Force Headquarters, John Obaniyi, conspired to embezzle the funds. Both men are facing a six-count charge at the court.

Oniyangi had granted the former police chief bail in the sum of N10 million and was to also provide a surety in like sum. Failure to meet the bail conditions, Oniyangi ruled, the former police boss should be remanded in prison.

With Ehindero’s failure to meet the bail applications by Friday evening, he will spend at least the next 48 hours, until Monday, with fellow prisoners at the Kuje prisons.

Ehindero succeeded Tafa Balogun, who was also convicted for corruption, as police chief. He was the police Inspector General between 2005 and 2007.

Who cares?

^
A corrupt police officer. Your superiors are surely leading be example.

nawa oooo a whole chief

Who says nigeria won't get better. . .

#10 millon Naira bail for #16 Million Naira theft. Smh

A thousand kilometers starts with a step.Good development and this is hoping justice will be meted on him if found guilty @ d end of the day.pls ICPC and EFCC should also go after all previous leaders(ole)that have brought us to this stand still.Expecially ex-gov in Nigeria.

Pity he is caught but he will be freed soon no be naija we dey

Who cares...stupid man, God purnish you.

Get Bailed and the Case is over.

As usual

Honestly I think the "bail clause" in our judicial system should be completely removed when it has to do with top political appointees and politicians alike. Go round the country and see the shams our police officers live in. From Maiduguri to Ikeja, they are all the same. Very dirty. How can a police officer live in a room and parlour with grown-up kids? Anytime I see the police barrack along constain, Lagos, I feel like slapping all the idiots in force headquatres Abuja hot slaps. Not forgetting the Police barrack opposite MTN, Falomo, Lagos etc

Same fairy tale, just in no time it will definitely become a business. Naija's justice indeed

This is a good development for the NPF if only the present IGP and his AIG's are listening it cld be any bodys turn tomorrow if they don't change their ways and be honourable while in positions of authority

Fynist: #10 millon Naira bail for #16 Million Naira theft. Smh

Factor in his accomplice "suspended Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget at the Force Headquarters, John Obaniyi" translates to #8 Million if shared equally versus his #10 million bail.

The way people dey play with millions for dis country dey make me cry,I dey here dey find 16,000 naira to balance my landlord for him rent anoda man dey dia dey embezzle 16 million naira

Why the name on his uniform written in mirror image

Please, they should not put him in jail because he will corrupt other civilian criminals.

N16 MILLION??
others are busy stashing away billions and getting away with it oga former IGP is being harassed for N16m.

Even farouk wasnt subjected to this kind of humiliation.

Who gives a hoot when nothing was recovered from Tafa Balogun. Moves over to next topic.

Datz gud n it will surely teach lesson 2 others. Before he will come out he will look like dis ^^

I possibly believe that he stepped on some godfathers toes, if not he wouldn't have spent even a night incarcerated. That's our naija for u.

Lol. Whose girlfriend did he snatch? Or which 'Bleep up' is he guilty of in the inner caucus? It's clear something is wrong somewhere, otherwise, Ehindero wouldn't be going through this embarrassment. They all buy their gurlfriends SUVs and houses worth far more than the trifling amount he is being tried for embezzling.Dem dey treat him Bleep up be dat.

What do u expect? They are all rogues in uniform.
