The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, clarified that no police barrack has been sold in Lagos State. In a statement on Tuesday in Lagos, Adejobi emphasized that the police are undertaking comprehensive renovations of several police barracks in the state.

He addressed the situation to correct misinformation circulating on social media, which suggested that the Falomo Barracks in Ikoyi, Lagos, had been sold.

"The Nigeria Police Force must address the baseless discussions about the state of police barracks and their redevelopment, particularly the Falomo Barracks and others in Lagos," Adejobi stated.

He acknowledged the public's concern for the welfare of police personnel and aimed to provide clear information about the allegations. Due to the poor condition of several police barracks, including Falomo Barracks, the NPF leadership initiated a partnership with sub-national governments and reputable developers to enhance the barracks. The goal is to transform them into more suitable and modern accommodations.

Adejobi explained that the redevelopment would include modern infrastructure and complementary facilities. Once completed, the occupants of the redeveloped barracks, including Falomo Barracks, would be offered new accommodation on the same sites.

Specifically, occupants of Falomo Barracks Blocks A and B have received ₦2 million each as a temporary relocation allowance. This payment has been made to 347 families after a validation process to facilitate their temporary relocation.

"This initiative is not limited to Falomo Barracks alone. Similar redevelopment projects will be carried out across all police barracks nationwide over time," he added.

Adejobi highlighted that this project is a strategic effort to improve the living conditions of officers and their families, which is a key focus of the current police administration.
