The Integrity Youth Alliance (IYA) has dismissed reports linking the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to an alleged $2.5 million fraud, describing the claims as baseless, false and malicious. IYA also rejected claims of an internal crisis at the Force Headquarters, insisting that there is no turmoil within the Nigeria Police Force. Clarifying reports that the IGP abruptly cut short an official trip to Lagos, the group said Egbetokun completed his engagements as scheduled before returning to Abuja. It also denied claims of emergency meetings involving information technology officials, noting that ICT matters are handled through established command and administrative structures. Challenging the publishers of the report to present verifiable evidence, IYA said there was no proof of any financial transaction linking the IGP to the alleged fraud.
