Former IG of police, Tafa Balogun (2002 - 2005) was arrested and jailed for six months in 2005 on charges involving about N13 billion obtained through money laundering, theft and other sources. In 2012, another IG of police, Sunday Ehindero (2005 - 2007) has been arrested and remanded in Kuje Prisons for embezzling N16 million and misappropriating over N500 million belonging to the Police Force while he was at the helm of affairs at the Force Headquarters.

The prosecutor, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other related offences commission(ICPC) said the money was the interest that accrued to over  N500 million donated to the police, for the procurement of arms, ammunition and riot control equipment, by the Bayelsa State Government. He says he's not guilty.
