During the 7th annual Town Hall
Meeting on Security held in Lagos,
Governor Fashola said the two BMW
cars bought for Stella Oduah will
purchase 51 patrol vehicles for the
Nigerian Police.
"It is sad to know that the Federal
Government that allocate three
patrol vehicles for one state police
command of 370, 000 police men,
is unable to resolve how N255
million was used to purchase 2
saloon vehicles for one officer. It
is a very grave irony.
The cost of
average vehicle needed to patrol
the state is just N5 million.
And
with such fund, we will have put
at least 51 patrol vehicles on the
road, patrolling the streets of
Lagos.”
"In spite of all this, they resist the
idea of a state police.
The money
from the fund was in the last one
year used to provide vehicles for
the Nigerian Prison Service,
National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA, Special Anti-
Robbery Squad, SARS, National
Security and Civil Defense Corps,
NSCDC and indeed the airport
wing of the Nigerian police, is
funded from this money. And it is
the same aviation ministry that
manage the airport that we had
this very odious car scandal of
N255 million.”
