Victor Adewale Egbetokun, son of Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has been accused of receiving ₦100 million from the Anambra State Government’s security vote amid ongoing security challenges in the state.
According to multiple sources, the funds were allegedly transferred from the Anambra State Security Vote (VI) account at Sterling Bank into Victor Egbetokun’s personal Zenith Bank account in September 2025. Victor, who is neither a serving police officer nor a government official, reportedly received money intended for intelligence operations, emergency responses, and logistics during a period of heightened insecurity.
Documents obtained by SaharaReporters indicate the ₦100 million was transferred in four tranches of ₦25 million each. Following internal concerns, the IGP allegedly intervened, instructing his son to reverse the transaction, which was done electronically on September 29, 2025. However, sources claim the money was later withdrawn in cash and redeposited into his account days afterward.
Victor Egbetokun reportedly led a lavish lifestyle during this period, with multiple luxury vehicles and frequent international trips.
When contacted, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Victor acknowledged a suspicious inflow into his account and immediately instructed its reversal. Victor also reportedly instructed his bank to alert him of any future deposits. The Anambra State Government’s security adviser has yet to comment on the allegations.
