The Nigeria Police Force insists that N100 million landing in the bank account of Victor Egbetokun, son of outgoing Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun was nothing more than a banking blunder.
The funds, transferred in four N25 million chunks from Anambra State's security vote on September 12, 2025, were reversed just weeks later on September 29 after Victor spotted the "error." With no official ties to government or police, Victor didn't hesitate, he closed the Zenith Bank account to prevent further mishaps and even petitioned the EFCC for a full investigation, handing over his statements as proof.
Police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, speaking on Channels Television, called it a mistaken transaction, emphasizing Victor's quick reversal and describing Sowore's earlier accusations as "false." "He saw N100 million in his account and told his officer to reverse it immediately," Hundeyin said, framing it as an honest fix.
Yet, whispers of doubt linger online. How does such a hefty sum "accidentally" target the IGP's son amid Anambra's raging insecurity? The timing couldn't be juicier, resurfacing just as Egbetokun steps down for acting IGP Tunji Disu. Critics point to initial leaks suggesting financial impropriety, with some calling it textbook laundering.
As the EFCC digs in, this saga blends high-stakes finance with family drama, leaving many wondering: Was it really just a glitch, or is there more to uncover? The public watches closely, hungry for transparency in these turbulent times.
