This move followed a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Abia lawmaker Ibe Osunwa and three others during Thursday, June 26, plenary.
Osunwa warned that ongoing scandals were damaging the police force’s credibility and compromising national security.
“The House is concerned that recent allegations of abuse of office, lack of due process and corruption in the Nigeria Police Force threaten the credibility, operational efficiency, and national security objectives of the Force,” he said.
Osunwa cited media reports that the NPF Procurement Department allegedly split a ₦6 billion uniform contract into 66 smaller contracts to bypass the Public Procurement Act, 2007. The contract was reportedly awarded to Crown Natures Nigeria Limited.
