The Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Magaji Kontagora, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Usman Baba, presented over N46million cheques to families of slain police personnel.
According to Kontagora, the cheques were from the Inspector General of Police Group life Assurance and the group life personnel accident cheques to families of deceased Police officers who died in active service. The cheques were presented on 12th of October 2022.
He added: “The IGP in his commitment to improving the welfare of officers and men of the force, has introduced several welfare packages for the Police among which are the group assurance Policy and the IGP family welfare schemes. This is to take care of the welfare of the serving personnel and the families of the deceased officers. Today’s event is an assurance to the next of kin of the deceased Police officers that, the Force will always take care of her own. Even in death, we cherish and respect the supreme sacrifice those Officers made to the Command in particular and the nation at large, before their demise. I wish to reiterate that, the IGP is committed to improving the welfare of the officers, hence this exercise, though sadly and regrettably, is a continuous one. Therefore, on behalf of the IGP, I present these cheques for the total sum of N 46,042,252.38 to the families of the deceased Police officers, who died in the line of duty. I want to use this medium to advise the families of the deceased Police officers to judiciously utilize the token in alleviating their financial needs.”
