The Ebonyi State Police Command has presented cheques worth over N69 million to 41 beneficiaries, including next-of-kins to deceased police officers and injured personnel in the state.
Command Commissioner, CP Augustina Ogbodo, did this on behalf of Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun.
During the presentation on Friday in Abakaliki, Ogbodo, represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Administration, Mohammed Mohammed, said the payment was claims settlements from Group Life Assurance, Group Personal Accident and IGP Family Welfare Insurance scheme.
She said: “These are cheques worth N69,246,803.75k to 41 beneficiaries who are next-of-kins to deceased police officers.
“The money is also for the police officers serving in the police command in Ebonyi, who were injured in the line of duty.
“The payment is a claim settlement from Group Life Assurance, Group Personal Accident and IGP Family Welfare Insurance scheme.”
Ogbodo also restated police condolences to families of the deceased officers.
She urged the injured police officers not to relent in discharging their duties, noting that the IGP cared about the welfare of the police.

Ogbodo, however, advised the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the money, particularly on their wards’ education.
Augustine Etim, one the beneficiaries who spoke on their behalf, appreciated the Inspector-General of Police and pledged to utilise the money for the good of their respective families.
