The Commissioner of Police in Delta State, Olufemi Abaniwonda, yesterday ,presented a cheques of N37,663,936 to 35 families of deceased police officers who died while in active service.
The cheques were issued on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, as part of the IGP Family Welfare Scheme and Group Life Assurance.
Delta state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) SP Bright Edafe, in a statement on Tuesday, said that CP Abaniwonda, while presenting the cheques, noted that the nation and the Nigeria police force appreciates the sacrifices made by their loved once who served in the Nigeria Police force before their death.
He stated that the welfare of families of both serving and late officers are part of the interest of the IG P and it was on his behalf that these cheques were presented to them.
He also appreciated the gesture by the IGP, as the cheques will in no small way act as a boost to the families and also a way of letting them know that, though their loved ones are no more, the Force did not forget their sacrifices.
One of the beneficiaries, Miss Chidinma Paul, thanked the IGP for his magnanimity, noting that the money given to them will be used judiciously.
