This would mean that each Toyota Prado on the average cost N173.7 million based on the estimate of the money paid by the police force.
The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu, paid a total of N1.74 billion in a single day for the procurement of 10 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado V6 2024 model vehicles, according to payment records.
Data published by socio accountability platform, Govspend and reviewed by SaharaReporters show that on May 9, 2026, two separate payments of N868.697 million each were made under “Police formations and commands” to Mujaf Automobile Nigeria Ltd.
Both transactions carried the same description: “Being payment for the supply of 5 nos. Toyota Landcruiser Prado V6 2024 model to the Nigeria Police Force.”
The two payments, made on the same date, brought the total amount disbursed for the procurement of 10 vehicles to N1.737 billion.
This would mean that each Toyota Prado on the average cost N173.7 million based on the estimate of the money paid by the police force.
The transactions took place less than three months after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Disu as the Acting Inspector-General of Police on February 24, 2026, following the exit of former Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun.
Disu was decorated and formally assumed office at the Louis Edet House, Abuja, on February 25, while the Nigeria Police Council unanimously confirmed his appointment on March 2, 2026.
Previously, SaharaReporters reported that the Nigeria Police Force under erstwhile Inspector General, Egbetokun spent over N239.4 million in 2025 on the purchase of food items, including cartons of tinned fish, biscuits, Ovaltine, milk, Milo and canned baked beans.
