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 ā€œmisleading write-ups and social media comments.ā€

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, ā€œDue 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 ā€“ with complementary facilities and modern infrastructure.ā€

The NPF revealed that occupants of Blocks A and B have each received ā‚¦2m as a temporary relocation allowance.

ā€œThis payment has been made to 347 families after a validation process to facilitate their temporary relocation,ā€ the statement said.

He emphasised that this initiative is not limited to Falomo Barracks, stating, ā€œSimilar redevelopment projects will be implemented across all police barracks nationwide over time.ā€

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, ā€œThe 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.ā€
