Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has donated relief funds to the families of 16 officers involved in a fatal motor accident on September 24, 2024, while returning to Kano after elections special duty in Edo State.
Recall that police personnel had an accident along
Zaria-Kano Expressway, at Karfi Kura, leading to the death of some officers,
while 11 others sustained various degrees of injury
In a statement, Force Public Relations Officer, ACP
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said: “In a decisive response to this tragic event, the IGP
donated compensatory payment of N10 million each to the families of the five
deceased officers, N2 million each to those still receiving treatment and
N500,000 each to those who have been discharged after treatment, bringing the
total payment to N60 million.”
“The IGP has ordered the Police Insurance Unit and the
Police Account and Budget Department to expedite the preparation of life
insurance benefits for the deceased officers, as well as the welfare scheme
benefits for other affected officers, and to ensure that payments are made
without delay, as this donation is exclusive of their statutory benefits from the
Nigeria Police Force,” he said
According to him: “The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), under the
leadership of IGP Egbetokun, remains committed to the welfare of its personnel,
as the IGP reaffirms the commitment to supporting officers and men of the Force
and their families during trying times.
“These efforts aim to ensure the dignity and well-being of
officers, further enhancing their capacity for effective service delivery. The
IGP once again expresses his deepest condolences to all the families of the deceased
and prays for the quick recovery of those still receiving medical care.”
