Police present N37.9m to families of deceased officers in Ogun

The Ogun State Police Command has presented cheques totalling N37.9 million to families and next-of-kin of deceased police officers in the state.

The presentation was made under the Nigeria Police Force Group Life Assurance Scheme of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Bode Ojajuni, presented the cheques on Monday at the Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

The CP who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, DCP Oliver Ezirim, alongside other members of the Command management team, said the intervention, though not enough to replace the lives lost, reflects the Force’s appreciation of their sacrifices and its commitment to the welfare of their families.

The Command noted that the families of the deceased officers remain part of the police family.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs John Shito thanked the IGP and the Ogun Command for the support, assuring that the funds would be judiciously utilised.
