SaharaReporters’ checks show that a standard carton of Titus sardines (50 pieces) costs about N75,500–N87,000 on commercial platforms — far lower than the N430,000 per carton the Nigeria Police paid. One unit of Titus sardine is sold at about N1,990 on Supermart, compared with the N8,600 per tin the police paid to Akulight Technologies.
On December 26, 2023, the police paid N8.6 million to Akulight for 12 cartons of Geisha sardines — N716,666 per carton. On the same day, another N8.6 million was paid for 10 cartons of Geisha, valued at N860,000 per carton. A further N8.6 million was also paid for 14 cartons of Geisha sardines.
On April 4, 2024, the police paid N8.7 million for 30 cartons of Owen Rich biscuits, amounting to N290,866 per carton. The police also made payments such as N8.2 million for cartons of Milo (10 sachets × 24).
Further review shows that, in total, the Nigeria Police Force spent N22.282 million on 85 cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits. The payments were made in three tranches: N8.136 million on August 30, 2023; N7.073 million on October 4, 2023; and N7.073 million on October 26, 2023 — an average cost of N261,717 per carton.
Also, on November 8, 2023, a sum of N7.9 million was paid for 25 cartons of Titus sardines. On December 26, 2023, another N8.6 million was spent as payment for 15 cartons of corn flakes.
One of the many contracts awarded included the supply of 12 cartons of Ovaltine tea at the rate of N8.2 million. The payment was made on April 17, 2024, meaning each carton cost N683,333.
A previous SaharaReporters review of the public payments portal, Govspend, revealed that the Force paid N13.3 million for 24 packs of toilet rolls. According to the records, the money was paid in two tranches between April and July 2023 for Carla Rose toilet rolls.
On April 21, 2023, the police paid N6.558 million to Waves Fulfillment Limited for 12 packs of toilet rolls (Carla Rose, 48 rolls per pack). On July 27, 2023, another payment of N6.8 million was made to the same company for “12 pkts of toilet rolls (Carla Rose 48 each per packet).”
This means that between April 21 and July 27, 2023, the police spent a total of N13.3 million on 24 packets of Carla Rose toilet rolls.
The records also show N6.852 million paid on July 27, 2023, and N7.6 million paid on April 5, 2024, both to Waves Fulfillment Limited.
On November 13, 2024, the police paid N8.023 million to Chumchuks Investment Limited for one carton of powdered Peak Milk
The next day, the same company received another N8.023 million for the same purpose. On October 24, 2024, Olycee Ventures Limited was paid N8.6 million for 10 cartons of powdered Peak Milk.
Elapsotic Ventures Limited received N8.5 million for 11 cartons of powdered Peak Milk. Drip-CHS Tech Nigeria Limited got N8.7 million for 10 cartons of powdered Peak Milk.
On October 26, 2023, N7.9 million was paid to Mag-Tram Systems Limited for the supply of canned beef. On December 12, 2023, N7.5 million was paid to Mag-Tram for 20 cartons of Titus sardine. On December 26, 2023, another payment of N8.7 million was made for 10 cartons of Hobnobs biscuits.
Beyond the clear issues of contract inflation, it remains unclear why police authorities split the contracts into multiple payments to multiple companies — all owned by the same person.
The Nigerian Public Procurement law, in Part IV, 16(d) states that: “All Procurements must be done in a manner which is ‘transparent, timely, equitable for ensuring accountability.’” It was also stated in 16(e) that contracts should be awarded to achieve “value for money and fitness for the purpose.”
