The presentation ceremony took place at the Command’s Headquarters in Jos, where the beneficiaries received the cheques on behalf of their deceased loved ones.
On behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, the Commissioner of Police presented a total sum of Twenty-Eight Million, Five Hundred and Nine Thousand, One Hundred and Eighty-Two Naira only (₦28,509,182.00k) to the families of the fallen heroes.
While expressing his heartfelt condolences, CP Ewah reaffirmed that the Nigeria Police Force remains committed to the welfare of its personnel and their families.
