Police deny selling Falomo barracks, announce development plans

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, on Tuesday issued a statement to clarify ongoing misconceptions regarding the redevelopment of Falomo Barracks in Lagos State.

According to the statement issued by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Tuesday, the police counter what it describes as “misleading write-ups and social media comments” alleging the sale of the Falomo Barracks land.

The NPF leadership has initiated a partnership with sub-national governments and reputable developers to redevelop several dilapidated police barracks, including the Falomo Barracks, into modern facilities with improved infrastructure.

The Force stated, “Due to the critical state of several police barracks (including the Falomo Barracks) the NPF leadership conceived a partnership arrangement with sub-national governments and reputable developers to unlock value in the assets by redeveloping the barracks into more befitting and modern barracks – with complementary facilities and modern infrastructure.”

Addressing specific concerns about the Falomo Barracks, the NPF revealed that occupants of Blocks A and B have each received two million Naira as a temporary relocation allowance.

This payment has been made to 347 families after a validation process to facilitate their temporary relocation,” the statement said.

The Force emphasised that this initiative is not limited to Falomo Barracks, stating, “Similar redevelopment projects will be implemented across all police barracks nationwide over time.”

This approach is described as a strategic effort to improve the living conditions of our officers and their families.

Refuting claims of land sales, ACP Adejobi said, “The claims that the Barracks are being vacated and the pieces of land sold are false, mischievous, and a calculated attempt to cause unnecessary discord within the ranks of the NPF.”
