The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Usman Alkali Baba, has presented cheques of N16 million to the families of 28 personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) who died in active service in Kogi State, North-Central Nigeria.

Baba said: “This gesture is part of the ‘Group Life Assurance Scheme’ and IGP’s ‘Family Welfare Insurance’ aimed at improving the welfare of the families of the deceased Police officers.
“This is also aimed at encouraging other officers who are in active service to give their best to the nation, which will not forget their patriotism and services.
“To us as a force, the loss of the deceased personnel is tragic and painful, but we all have to bear it as God knows why.”
