Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Eighteen families of fallen police officers in Adamawa State have received lifelines totalling N14,911,511 from the Nigeria Police Force.<\/p>\n

The Adamawa State Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, presented cheques of varying sums to the next-of-kin of deceased officers under the Group Life Assurance and IGP Family Welfare Scheme.<\/p>\n

During the presentation ceremony held at the State Police Command Headquarters in Yola on Monday, CP Morris, speaking on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, conveyed the gratitude of the police leadership to the fallen officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese men and women gave their lives in the line of duty. We may not bring them back, but we can bring some relief to the loved ones they left behind,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the total payout of nearly N15 million formed part of a broader commitment by the IGP to ensure the welfare of officers\u2014serving, retired, or deceased\u2014remains a top priority under his leadership.<\/p>\n

Morris explained that the funds, drawn from both the Group Life Assurance and the Family Welfare Scheme, are intended to assist families in managing life after the loss of their breadwinners.<\/p>\n

One of the benefitting widows, Mrs Christiana Garba, whose husband, Inspector Garba, died in a gunfight with kidnappers last year, said, \u201cI thought the police had forgotten about us. But this cheque tells me they remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each beneficiary received varying amounts based on the rank of the deceased officer.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer for the Adamawa Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, who provided further details on the event, described it as a reflection of the reform-minded leadership of the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a favour. It\u2019s a right. And we\u2019re happy that under IGP Egbetokun, the system is working,\u201d Nguroje told journalists.<\/p>\n
