The Ogun State commissioner of police, Bode Ojajuni, has presented cheques totalling N10. 6 million to the families and next-of-kin of deceased police officers who served under the command.

In a statement on Saturday, the command’s spokesman, Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the cheques presentation was held on Saturday at Eleweran, Abeokuta.

He said the presentation was executed under the Nigeria Police Force Group Life Assurance and the IGP Family Welfare Schemes tailored to cushion the financial impact on households whose breadwinners paid the ultimate price in active service to the nation.

The statement said Mr Ojajuni was accompanied by members of the command management team and he Ojajuni personally handed over the cheques to the beneficiaries. 

Addressing the recipients, he underscored the IG’s dedication to personnel welfare. 

He described the widows and families of the fallen officers as the “true superheroes” who continue to bear the weight of their loved ones’ service with resilience.

Mr Ojajuni noted that the financial intervention served as a tangible token of the Force’s enduring gratitude and institutional duty to stand by them.

One of the beneficiaries, Ejembi Ada Veronica, thanked the IG and the command for remembering their families and providing timely relief. 

She pledged that the money would be channeled responsibly toward the education, upkeep, and overall stability of the children and dependents left behind.
