The government of Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has dragged the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to the Supreme Court over illegal one percent deduction from the state’s statutory allocation for police reform.
The Federal Government has been deducting one percent from states’ statutory allocation since October 2013 under the guise that the fund was being used for police reform.
