Ebonyi Commissioner of Police, CP Hope Urunwa-Okafor
By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Ebonyi State Police Command has presented cheques totaling over 13.2 million naira to the next-of-kin of deceased police officers in the state.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Hope Urunwa-Okafor, presented the cheques on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, said the gesture demonstrates the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to the welfare of its personnel and their families, even after their demise.
The Commissioner advised the beneficiaries to use the funds judiciously for their welfare and that of their children, and cautioned them against lending the money or investing it in risky businesses.
Responding on behalf of the families, Mrs. Ngozi Oruh appreciated the Inspector-General and the Commissioner for the support and concern for families of deceased officers and assured them of making judicious use of the money.
