THE Federal Government, on Tuesday, set up an eight-man panel to investigate the rot in all the police training institutions in the country between 2009 and 2012, during which over N2 billion was released for the institutions.

It was gathered that the colleges got N700 million in 2009; N759.5 million in 2010; N291,946,530 in 2011 and N296,757,230 in 2012.
