NPF DEBUNKS RUMOUR ON SALE OF FALOMO BARRACKS
Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
The Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims, claiming that it sold the land in Lagos State known as Falomo Barracks.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, signed a statement via X on Tuesday that referred to the rumors circulating as “misleading write-ups and social media comments.”
The NPF claims that the reconstruction project is a component of a larger national plan to enhance living circumstances for law enforcement officers and their families.
The Force stated, “Due to the critical state of several police barracks (including the Falomo Barracks) the NPF leadership conceived a partnership arrangement with sub-national governments and reputable developers to unlock value in the assets by redeveloping the barracks into more befitting and modern barracks – with complementary facilities and modern infrastructure.”
The NPF revealed that occupants of Blocks A and B have each received ₦2m as a temporary relocation allowance.
“This payment has been made to 347 families after a validation process to facilitate their temporary relocation,” the statement said.
He emphasised that this initiative is not limited to Falomo Barracks, stating, “Similar redevelopment projects will be implemented across all police barracks nationwide over time.”
This approach is described as a strategic effort to improve the living conditions of our officers and their families.
Refuting claims of land sales, ACP Adejobi said, “The claims that the Barracks are being vacated and the pieces of land sold are false, mischievous, and a calculated attempt to cause unnecessary discord within the ranks of the NPF.”
