The journalist on his visit today discovered it was in connection to a story FIJ published in August 2021 on the award of contracts for police camps which alleged that a Deputy Inspector General of Police, Joseph Egbunike, joined other police chiefs to approve more than N1bn for some police transit camp projects in Benue, Bauchi, Plateau, Katsina, and Kano states. The facilities were meant to provide safe and comfortable accommodation for travelling officers.
However, Soyombo’s FIJ claimed that after a visit to the project locations, nothing or little had been done three years later.
”At the N245 million transit camp in Riyom, Plateau State, two uncompleted bungalows and a few mobile buildings on an expanse of land were found,” the report read. Pro-Egbunike’s lawyers petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali, over the story, demanding the “prosecution” of those behind the “defamation”.
The legal practitioners, led by Stefan Onome Okorodudu, claim to operate under “Concerned Lawyers in defence of the Nigeria Police and its officers”.
