The Kwara State Police Command has presented cheques worth N10.6 million to the families of 19 police officers who died in the line of duty.
The cheques, valued at N10,613,786.50, were presented on Monday at the command headquarters in Ilorin by the Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, the intervention was part of the Nigeria Police Force’s welfare initiatives aimed at supporting the dependants of officers who lost their lives while serving the country.
Presenting the cheques, Adekimi urged the beneficiaries to use the funds judiciously, particularly for the welfare and education of their families.
The commissioner said while the financial assistance could not replace their loved ones, it demonstrated the Force’s recognition of the sacrifices made by the deceased officers and its concern for the wellbeing of their families.
He also commended the Inspector-General of Police for sustaining welfare programmes designed to support the families of personnel who died in service.
Adekimi said the intervention would provide some relief to the beneficiaries and reassure serving officers that the Nigeria Police Force remained committed to the welfare of their families.
Speaking on behalf of the 19 beneficiaries, M.T. Moshood expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force for remembering the families of the deceased officers.
Moshood described the intervention as a meaningful gesture showing that the families of officers who died in the line of duty had not been forgotten.
The Kwara State Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to personnel welfare while honouring the sacrifices of officers who lost their lives in the service of the nation.
