Members of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts
yesterday expressed anger over 57,000 (5.6mm) live ammunition sold by
three officers of the police command’s headquarters in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti
State, in 2008.
The committee said it was interested in who the ammunition were sold to and those who collaborated in selling them.
The committee, headed by Solomon Adeola, invited Inspector-General
of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar to explain how the internal control
mechanism of the police permitted such act.
Adeola said the committee will investigate the incident, adding that
it is such acts that cause the proliferation of firearms in the country
with its attendant security implications.
