Ex Inspector-General of Police and Chairman of Police Service Commission, Mr. Mike Okiro has been accused of N275million fraud. A staff of the Police Service Commission, Aaron Kaase sent a petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) detailing how the former IGP allegedly embezzled N275 million.
The petitioner revealed that the former police boss allegedly siphoned the sum of N275 million out of the N350 million received by the commission from the office of the National Security Adviser to the President to train PSC staffers to monitor policemen and women in the last general elections.
The petitioner added that Mike Okiro allegedly made bogus claims to train highly inflated numbers of PSC staffers in Lagos, Abuja and Kano. Aaron Kaase said that the PSC only trained a few staff in Maraba close to Abuja and Mike Okiro allegedly claimed that some millions of naira was spent to train staffers overseas.
That is not all, the petitioner revealed that the ex-IGP siphoned N275 million claiming to train 500 staffers in Abuja, 200 staffers in Lagos and 200 staffers in Kano whereas the total staffers of the PSC nationwide is about 400. The Police Service Commission Chairman was interrogated by ICPC operatives on Thursday June 4th 2015 for hours in Abuja about the alleged N275 million fraud.
