Outrage in Anambra Over Alleged N100m Transfer to Ex-IGP’s Son

There is growing outrage among residents of Anambra State following reports of an alleged transfer of N100 million from a state government account to a private bank account belonging to Victor Egbetokun, said to be the son of former Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

According to reports by Sahara Reporters, the controversial sum was reportedly transferred in four separate tranches of N25 million each.

Reacting to the development during a live television interview, the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, reportedly acknowledged that the incident occurred. He stated that the former IGP’s son confirmed receiving the funds and was immediately advised to instruct his account officer to reverse the transactions. The money, according to him, was promptly returned.

Despite the reported reversal of the funds, the revelation has sparked widespread concern among citizens of Anambra State, with many questioning the internal controls and financial management processes of the state government under Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

Public commentators and civil society voices have called for greater transparency and a full explanation of how such a transaction could occur, even if later corrected. As of the time of filing this report, the Anambra State Government has not issued a detailed official statement addressing the circumstances surrounding the transfer.

The development has intensified conversations around accountability, oversight, and public trust in the management of state finances.
