Nigeria’s House of Representatives has summoned officials from the Navy, Police, Customs and other agencies to investigate how seized and recovered assets are managed.
The summons, issued by the House, requires the agencies to provide explanations and documentation regarding the handling of property confiscated during law‑enforcement operations.
Representatives have expressed concerns that the current procedures for tracking and safeguarding recovered assets may lack transparency and accountability.
Officials from the Navy, Police and Customs are expected to appear before the committee in the coming days to address the allegations and outline the steps they have in place for asset management.
The investigation is part of a broader effort by the legislature to ensure that seized assets are handled in accordance with national laws and to prevent potential misuse or misappropriation.
