The Nigeria Police Force has clarified misconceptions surrounding the redevelopment of police barracks, particularly the Falomo Barracks in Lagos State.
According to a statement on Tuesday via X, signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police countered what it described as “misleading write-ups and social media comments” alleging the sale of the Falomo Barracks land.
According to the NPF, the redevelopment initiative was part of a broader strategy to improve living conditions for police personnel and their families nationwide.
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.
