Report says the Nigeria Police Cooperative Multi-Purpose Society Ltd. has started distributing tricycles, commonly known as Keke Napep, to interested personnel.

“Regarding the Keke Napep initiative, the Police Cooperative is supplying interested personnel,” a police source said.
A police wireless message dated March 12, 2025, from the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) overseeing the Police Cooperative Society in Lagos, informed all departments, commands, and units about the initiative through the Nigeria Police Cooperative Multi-Purpose Society Ltd.
It identified the company as “suppliers of tricycle trucks, trike pick-up, TTI single cabin, tricycle taxis, trike taxi TP7, Trika ambulance on loan to interested members of the force at the rate of five million five hundred thousand naira (N5,500,000) only”.
It said that “monthly deduction will be ninety thousand naira (N90,000) only”, which is “to be paid within sixty (60) months”.
It noted that the “money will be deducted from recipient’s salary via IPPIS”.
“Forms will be made available by the company for collection at all cooperative shops mine. Treat as very important please,” it added.
Tricycles, commonly known as “Keke,” are widely used for commercial transportation in Nigeria. Allowing officers to acquire them on loan provides an additional source of income and improves their financial security.
