The
Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, has ordered an
internal investigation into the allegation that the men and officers of
the Kwara State Sector Command were given N20m bribe to manipulate the 2015
general election.
The
EFCC had on Thursday tendered a document before the Federal High Court, Lagos
in which it said that the Resident Assistant Inspector-General of Police in
Kwara State at the time also received N1m cash.
The money was said to be part of the N115bn allegedly
distributed on the orders of a former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani
Alison-Madueke.
The document stated that while the Commissioner of
Police in Kwara State at the time received N10m cash, the Deputy Commissioner
of Police in charge of Operations got N2m cash.
Similarly,
both the assistant commissioners of police in charge of operations and
administration in Kwara State, according to the document, received N1m cash
each.
The
document also showed that the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kwara State
for the 2015 general elections was also given cash of N10m, while the
Independent National Electoral Commission’s Administrative Secretary in Kwara
State at the time received N5m cash.
The
INEC Head of Department, Operations and “his boys” were given N5m, while “other
officers” received and shared N2m among themselves.
Also
listed as beneficiaries of the Diezani bribe in Kwara State were OC Mopol and
“his men”, who got N7m; 21c Mopol and men in the state, who got N10m; the
Director of the DSS and his men, who got N2.5m.
But
the FRSC Education Officer, Corps Commander Bisi Kazeem, said on Saturday that
the agency was aware of the allegation against its personnel and that the Corps
Marshal had already ordered an investigation into it.
“’The
Corps Marshal has ordered an internal investigation into the allegation against
our men.
That
is what I can say for now,” he said on the phone.
