N100m Mistakenly Paid To Egbetokun’s Son Returned To Anambra Govt, Says Police Spokesman

THE Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has clarified that a N100million transfer to the personal account of Victor Egbetokun, son of immediate past inspector general of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, was made in error.
Making the clarification on a television programme, following online report alleging that Egbetokun’s son received N100million from the Anambra State Government’s security vote account, Police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Victor reported the incident to the Police and that the funds were reversed immediately.
Hundeyin said the statement of account of the former IGP’s son was printed and confirmed that the N100million had been reversed, adding: “You could remember when he (Omoyele Sowore) said N100million was paid into the account of the son of the IGP.
“I called the son of the IGP immediately to know what was going on, and he explained. He said he saw N100million in his account, and he told his accounts officer to reverse the money immediately, which he did.
“He printed out his statement of account and showed me. The young man was forced to close down that account. He has written a petition to the EFCC for that allegation to be investigated.”
Hundeyin described the incident as a mistaken transaction, with the money returned to the state government’s account shortly after detection.
