The prominent welfare event took place at the Force Headquarters to resolve several long-standing insurance backlog periods. This massive administrative intervention seeks to provide an immediate economic safety net for vulnerable dependants whose breadwinners lost their lives while protecting communities across the West African nation.

This financial rollout marks an extraordinary milestone under the Nigeria Police Force welfare schemes, covering policy years from 2017 to 2025. Inspector-General Disu presented cheques directly to emotional recipients, urging them to secure their children’s education.

Following an earlier disbursement of N2.43 billion five months prior, this event included special acknowledgements for families affected by tactical operations in Kebbi and Zamfara states.

Inspector-General Disu stated that the force will not abandon the loved ones of fallen personnel, while Force Insurance Officer ACP Lydia Ameh urged brokers to maintain prompt processing.
