The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has asked the Police Trust Fund to justify why it spent N500m on office renovation and procurement of office furniture from the N3.2 bn it collected from Service Wide Votes.
Responding, the Executive Secretary explained that the office was confiscated to them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The Acting Chairman who is also the Vice Chairman of the Committee, Senator Ibrahim Hadejia directed the agency to produce the relevant documents related to the contracts on the renovation and rehabilitation and present a procurement officer before the Committee by next Thursday. He said, “Get your details, come with procurement documents and procurement officer before us by next week Thursday.”All rights reserved.
