On behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, the money was given to the surviving family members of the deceased policemen by the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Janet Agbede, in Umuahia.

The CP, represented by ACP Jane Mbanefo, gave the presentation at the Abia State Police Command’s headquarters on Bende Road in Umuahia. She cautioned the families who would benefit not to waste the funds.

Agbede clarified that the funds were a part of IGP Usman Alkali Baba’s ongoing Group Life Insurance Welfare program for families of deceased police officers for the 2020/2021 policy year.

In delivering the IGP’s message to the families of the deceased officers, Agbede said the funds would go a long way toward easing their suffering. He also added that the officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force would continue to carry out their responsibilities of keeping the country safe.

Justice E. John, one of the next of kin who spoke on behalf of other relatives, praised the IG for the insurance welfare package and said that the move proved that the late officers’ sacrifices were honored even after they passed away.

John promised that the money they received would be used properly.
