RULAAC seeks independent inquiry into telecom equipment theft arrests
RULAAC has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police for an independent investigation into the arrest of four people over alleged theft of N150m worth of telecommunications equipment in Lagos and the South-East. The supplied material does not detail the allegations, the detainees’ identities or the police response.
RULAAC has called for an independent police investigation into the arrest of four people over the alleged theft of telecommunications equipment valued at N150m. Punch Nigeria reported that the organisation petitioned the Inspector-General of Police. The alleged theft relates to equipment in Lagos and the South-East, according to the supplied material.
RULAAC’s request concerns the handling of the arrests and seeks an inquiry separate from the process it is challenging. The available information does not explain what prompted the organisation’s petition or identify the officers or police formations involved. It also does not name the four people arrested, state the allegations against each person or say whether charges have been filed.
No police response to the petition was included. The value cited in the report is N150m, but the supplied material does not provide an inventory of the equipment or details of where it was allegedly taken from. The independent probe requested by RULAAC would address those issues only if authorities approve and conduct it.
