The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has extended financial assistance worth over ₦40 million to families of deceased police officers in Osun State as part of the Force’s ongoing welfare intervention programme.
A total sum of ₦40,360,075.66 was presented to 45 beneficiaries under the Group Life Assurance Scheme and Family Welfare Package of the Nigeria Police Force.
The presentation ceremony, which took place on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the Osun State Police Command Headquarters in Osogbo, was performed on behalf of the IGP by the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Gotan, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Finance and Administration, DCP Adebisi Bola Lateef.
In his remarks, CP Gotan commended the IGP for his unwavering commitment to improving the welfare of police officers and their families, particularly those who lost loved ones in active service.
He urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the funds to better the lives of their families, adding that the gesture reflects the Force’s recognition of the sacrifices made by officers who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty.
He also prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed officers and reaffirmed the commitment of the Force to continually support the families left behind.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, confirmed the development in an official statement issued on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, describing the initiative as part of the Force’s broader efforts to sustain morale among serving officers and provide hope for dependents of the fallen.
The Group Life Assurance Scheme and Family Welfare Package have, in recent years, served as key instruments in cushioning the economic challenges faced by families of deceased police personnel across the country.
