The Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, Ayuba Elkanah, on July 19, 2022 presented the sum of N2.5 million, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to the next of kins of five late Police Officers who died in active service.
He was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Finance and Administration, Olubenga Adepoju.
The presentation of the cheques was in continuation of the IGP’s welfare Insurance scheme to families of deceased Police Officers.
The event was held at the Police Command Headquarters, Gusau.
Elkanah appreciated Baba for his continuous concern for the welfare of Police Officers.
The CP described the gesture as timely, stating that the money will go a long way in alleviating suffering faced by families of deceased Police officers, and further assured that the IGP, Officers and men of the Command will continue to put in their best in the discharge of their duty for sustained peace, security and safety of Zamfara State.
The CP, therefore, charged the beneficiaries to utilise the money judiciously, noting that in the last 10 months, the Command had received similar cheques from the IGP 10 times and presented the same to the beneficiaries.
One of the benefiting families members, Favour Peter, speaking on behalf of other beneficiaries, thanked the IGP for the gesture.
Peter promised that they would all use the money judiciously.
