The Commissioner of Police, Borno State Police Command, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, has disbursed a total of ₦20,137,770.34 to nine beneficiaries under the Group Life Insurance Scheme.
The payout is aimed at supporting the families of police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The beneficiaries, comprising next-of-kin and family members of the fallen officers, received the funds during a cheque presentation ceremony. The initiative is designed to assist them with education, healthcare, and general well-being.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Thursday by the Command’s spokesperson, Nahum Daso.
“The Commissioner of Police, Borno State Command, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, has successfully disbursed a total sum of ₦20,137,770.34 to nine beneficiaries under the Group Life Insurance Scheme,” the statement read.
At the ceremony, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Finance and Administration, DCP Ibrahim Sumaila, represented the CP and conveyed the message of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
He stressed that the welfare of officers and their families remains a top priority for the Force.
“The Group Life Insurance Scheme is a testament to the IGP’s compassion, accountability, and exemplary leadership in honouring officers who made the ultimate sacrifice for national peace and security,” DCP Sumaila said.
He urged the beneficiaries to use the funds prudently to support their families. He described the scheme as a vital mechanism for providing financial relief and stability to families of fallen heroes.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mr. Modu Ishaku expressed gratitude to the IGP for the gesture. He assured that the funds would be used judiciously.
The latest disbursement follows a similar exercise in January 2026, when the Command paid out approximately ₦18.38 million to nine families of fallen officers.
The Nigeria Police Force Group Life Assurance Scheme provides critical support to officers’ families nationwide. The initiative reinforces the Force’s commitment to the welfare of its personnel and their dependents, even after their service ends in tragedy.
