The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, presents cheques worth ₦2,317,177,094 to 2,971 beneficiaries and next of kin of police officers who die in the line of duty. The payments are made at Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Across reports, the beneficiaries are linked to officers covered under police welfare and insurance arrangements, including Group Life Assurance, Group Personal Accident, and IGP Family Welfare schemes. One outlet lists the cheques as being presented on Thursday, while also describing the payment as part of administrative processes linked to the welfare coverage. Another report similarly places the total at ₦2.317bn and repeats the number of beneficiaries.
The coverage largely aligns on the amounts, the number of families, and the date and location of the presentation, with differences mainly in how the schemes and coverage periods are described rather than in the core figures and purpose of the disbursement.
