The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has explained that Falomo Police Barracks in Lagos is undergoing reconstruction and has yet to be sold as it has been reported across some sections of the media.

Addressing the media on Monday, the Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the explanation became necessary due to fake online news that the police had been sold off.

He said the idea to reconstruct the barracks was based on the dilapidated buildings, and the officers were duly reintegrated when the construction was complete.

He states, “The police wish to address recent misinformation and sensationalism in the media concerning the reconstruction of the Falomo Police Barracks, Lagos State. The barracks, previously in disrepair, will undergo a complete redesign and reconstruction to provide modern, habitable accommodations that reflect the dignity our officers deserve.

This project was initiated under the leadership of former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba Alkali, in collaboration with the Lagos State Government and private sector partners through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

“The current IGP, Dr Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to improving officers’ housing by convening the first Nigeria Police Force Housing Summit on April 23-24, 2024. This summit brought together stakeholders to chart a sustainable path toward improved police welfare.

“A nationwide assessment revealed that less than 25 per cent of police personnel have access to adequate barracks accommodations, with 90 of existing barracks falling into severe disrepair. Many of these structures are dangerously unsafe, posing a clear risk to occupants. The urgent reconstruction of these facilities, including Falomo Barracks, is not only necessary but aligned with international best practices to ensure the safety and well-being of our officers.

“The IGP, through the NPF Property Development and Construction Company, has leveraged PPP arrangements to rebuild existing barracks and provide affordable housing for officers. PPP models, which integrate private sector investment into public infrastructure, have been successfully adopted across various sectors in Nigeria, such as rail projects and university hostels, and globally in police housing initiatives.”

He noted, “Contrary to recent reports, no officers were forcefully evicted from the Falomo Barracks. Occupants were given adequate notice, provided relocation assistance, and compensated with N2,000,000 each to secure alternative accommodation. Furthermore, they will receive monthly rent allowances in line with provisions for officers not residing in the barracks. Upon completing the new facility, these officers will be allotted housing units, ensuring a seamless transition to improved living conditions.

“We urge the public to dismiss false narratives regarding this reconstruction and recognise the broader objective of enhancing police welfare. The NPF remains committed to the well-being of its personnel, understanding that dignified living conditions are essential to effective service delivery.”
