A SaharaReporters' review of the public payments portal, Govspend, has revealed that the Nigerian Police Force spent N22.282million on eighty-five cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits for its personnel on certain operations.

In the first instance, the police spent N7.073million to purchase 25 cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits.

According to details on the portal, the payment was made on October 26, 2023, to Danlokey Systems Limited.

The description read: "Being payment for the supply of twenty five cartons of Cream crackers biscuits (Dry ration) for logistics requirements/consumables for personnel deployed to carry out discreet security ops and info gathering activities."

With N7.073 million spent on twenty-five cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits, each carton would have cost N282,928.

In another instance, on October 4, 2023, a sum of N7.073 million was again paid to Danlokey Systems Limited for the supply of thirty cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits

The description read: "Being payment for the supply of 30 cartons of Cream crackers biscuits (Dry ration) for logistics requirements/consumables for personnel deployed to carry out discreet security ops and intelligence in Taraba State."

On August 30, 2023, another N8.136 million was paid to Danlokey Systems Limited for the supply of thirty cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits.

The description read: "Being payment for the supply of 30 cartons of Cream crackers biscuits (Dry ration) for logistics requirements/consumables for personnel deployed to carry out discreet security operations in Yobe State."

In total, the Nigerian Police spent N22.282 million on eighty-five cartons of Cream Crackers biscuits, which means each carton across the three payments cost an average of N261,717.

Previously, SaharaReporters had also revealed through Govspend records that the Nigerian Police Force paid N13.3 million for the purchase of twenty-four packs of toilet rolls.

According to the descriptions, the payments were made in two tranches between April and July 2023 for Carla Rose toilet rolls.

On April 21, 2023, the Police Formations and Command paid N6.558 million to Waves Fulfillment Limited for the supply of twelve packets of toilet rolls (Carla Rose, 48 rolls each per packet).

Another payment of N6.8 million was made on July 27, 2023, to the same Waves Fulfillment Limited for the supply of "12 pkts of toilet rolls (Carla Rose 48 each per packet)."

This means that between April 21 and July 27, 2023, the Nigerian Police paid a total of N13.3 million for twenty-four packets of Carla Rose toilet rolls.

However, a SaharaReporters market survey revealed that the open market prices of Carla Rose toilet rolls were far lower than what the police paid.

Checks on the popular trading platform Jumia show that "Rose Carla Tissue Paper Roll (one bag of 48 pieces) cost N55,000."

On Konga, the same product sells for N50,000.

At these rates, twenty-four packs of Carla Rose toilet rolls, each containing 48 pieces, should not cost more than N1.320 million.

Lol.

Yet paying their retirees 2million naira after spending 35years in service.

😔

This is pitiful. Crackers dry more important than service years.

PleaseCheck:
What about the money they made from standing on the road and extorting motorists?
What about the money they made by holding young Nigerians and labelling them scammers?

Why shouldn't the 2 million be enough?
