Police React to N100m Sent to IGP Egbetokun's Son's Account

The Nigeria Police Force has reacted to the N100 million reportedly transferred to the personal account of Victor Egbetokun, the son of the outgoing Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun.

According to the police authority, a huge amount of money was transferred to the personal account of the young Egbetokun in error, and it has since been returned.

Daily Trust reported that the clarification came after an online report alleged that the money was transferred from the account of the Anambra State Government’s security vote into that of Victor Egbetokun.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson of the police, made the clarification while speaking in an interview on a television, noting that the transaction was flagged immediately and reversed.

The police spokesperson described the incident as a mistaken transaction and maintained that the money was immediately returned to the account of the Anambra State Government as soon as the young Egbetokun received the alert.
