Tunji Disu, the inspector-general of police (IGP), has presented N2.4 billion in cheques to 1,075 beneficiaries and next of kin of deceased police officers under the group life assurance and IGP family welfare schemes.
The presentation ceremony took place in Abuja on Wednesday
at the force headquarters.
Anthony Placid, spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force
(NPF), said in a statement that the cheques cover policy years for 2018/2019,
2020/2021, 2021/2022, 2022/2023, 2024/2025 and 2025/2026, including outstanding
insurance claims.
Placid quoted the IGP as saying that the ceremony is a
solemn recognition of the sacrifices made by officers who lost their lives in
the line of duty.
While noting that the presentation goes beyond financial
assistance, he said the gesture reflects the force’s duty to honour the
bravery, service, and dedication of its fallen heroes.
Lydia Ameh, a force insurance officer, said the
disbursements “reflect the determination of the IGP Olatunji Disu to prioritise
the welfare of officers and their families.”
Ameh said the payments represent recoveries from
long-standing insurance obligations.
