The latest disbursement covers policy years 2020–2024, bringing the total payout under the insurance scheme to N20.84 billion, benefiting 7,171 families of deceased officers.
The initiative is part of the police welfare scheme aimed at providing financial relief to the dependents of fallen officers, recognizing their sacrifices and service to the nation.
