Policeman Drags IGP To Buhari Over N32bn Probe,others by Nobody: 3:51pm On Dec 03, 2017
A serving police officer, DCP Abduyari Lafia,who had earlier
earned commendations for bursting fraud cases amounting to more than N360million, has written a petition to President Muhammadu Buhari, against over the
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, calling for
investigations into how the police chief managed series of
corruption cases referred to the police in recent months.
Lafia had served as Chief of Criminal Intelligence of the
Nigerian Police until he was redeployed to Police College,
Kano.

The petition was also copied to the Senate President,
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Minister of
Interior, National Security Adviser, chairman, Police Service
Commission and the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices
and other offences Commission (ICPC).

Sources in the Senate and the House confirmed at the
weekend that the petition, received at the Presidential Villa
on November 3, 2017, had also been received at the
legislative chambers.
The petitioner claimed in the document, a copy of which
was sighted by Sunday Tribune, that he was being
persecuted by the IGP and was left with no other option but
to convey his travails to Buhari and the National Assembly.
He alleged: The reason for my current travail is that I refused to be a conduit pipe in conveying monies as
proceeds of bribe, popularly known as ‘returns’ to IGP
Ibrahim Idris on high- profile fraud and corruption cases
running into billions of naira and millions of Dollars, which
I have, at one time or the other, investigated or provided
intelligence for investigators on.”

The officer further alleged that the IGP had covered up
series of fraud cases referred to the police, which he said
he had investigated or helped the investigators with
intelligence.
He alleged that the IGP transferred a fraud case of N2.4
billion involving some Akwa-Ibom Officials out of the
Intelligence unit to the IGP Monitoring Team after the
Intelligence Bureau had established
the source of the funds and identifies the perpetrators of
the crime.

He said the case has become moribund since the transfer.
He also alleged the cover up of N32 billion,400,000 (thirty
two billion, four hundred thousand Naira) by the Police, a
case he said was reported by a whistle blower.

He stated that in the course of investigating the above
cases, he had rejected a bribe of N400 million later jerked
up to N7million. He said that the case had been successfully
investigated by the Force Intelligence unit, with accounts
frozen in one of the first generation banks In the petition,
he also raised the issue of $1million fraud case he had
earlier investigated, where a citizen who was defrauded of
the sum, Albert Austin Ugochokwu addressed a press
conference in Abuja, where he alleged that the IGP
summarily withdrew his case which he said was being
diligently handled by Abdukyari at FIB and transferred the
same to the IGP Monitoring Unit.

The petitioner prayed the President to protect his life and
that of his family, while also asking the President to
institute a probe to into the management of Akwa-Ibom’s
N2.4 billion.
He said that some officials allegedly collected the sum of
N400 million to put the case in the cooler.
Police Public Relations Officer, Moshood Jimoh, who
addressed the media on September 19, when this issue
started brewing had claimed that Abdukyari was
transferred from the FIP because of an ongoing
investigation into a $20,000 exhibit which the DCP could not
account for.

Last month when the Sunday Tribune opened this story the
Force Public Relations Officer dismissed the claims by the
DCP.
Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood had told told
the Sunday
Tribune in Abuja that DCP “is currently being investigated
over the exhibit money under his custody and which he
must account for in the interest of justice and fair play to
the owner of the money and the image of the Nigeria Police
Force.”
