15 People and Organisations Petition IGP Over Alleged Fraud by Kennedy Iyere
Fifteen individuals and organisations have petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, calling for an investigation into Comrade Kennedy Iyere over alleged fraud and related offences. The petition, dated August 10, 2026, alleges that the petitioners suffered substantial financial losses and asks police to investigate, trace the funds and prosecute anyone found culpable if there is sufficient evidence. One petitioner, Obinna Ukor, alleges that Iyere obtained about ₦14 million from him based on representations that later proved false. The petitioners also allege that funds were diverted and not accounted for as agreed. These claims have not been established in court. The report also refers to a 2025 police directive concerning earlier allegations against Iyere. In a separate petition, a law firm alleged that he obtained ₦26 million from Silver Green Hotel Limited through claims about a government-backed youth programme, and put the total alleged losses involving its clients and others at more than ₦113 million. Iyere’s response is not included in the report.
