A retired police officer who served for 35 years has cried out after he received N2.8m as his gratuity.
In a video making the rounds online, the aggrieved officer said he served with the Edo state police command for 35 years and retired from service in July 2024.
He stated that he was called in this morning to come and sign for the disbursement of the lump sum of his gratuity put at N2, 870, 451 while his pension arrears was put at N706, 915.
‘’I retired as an SP Superintendent of Police in the Edo state police command 1st July 2024. For 35 years, that is unacceptable. For 35 years I served the Nigeria police. It is highly unacceptable. I will not sign. The Inspector General of Police, IGP Egbetokun, should find out why my money is so small. I cannot accept. I can never accept this, This is highly unacceptable.” he said
This comes days after some retired police officers also took to the street to protest their unpaid pension and gratuity.
