Borno State Police Command has disbursed N20,137,770.34 to nine beneficiaries under the Group Life Insurance Scheme, supporting the families of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The funds were handed over to the next-of-kin during a cheque presentation ceremony aimed at assisting with education, healthcare, and general welfare, the command’s spokesperson, Nahum Daso, said in a statement on Thursday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police for Finance and Administration, DCP Ibrahim Sumaila, represented the state Commissioner of Police, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, at the event and conveyed a message from the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, emphasizing 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 commitment to supporting officers who made the ultimate sacrifice for national peace and security,” DCP Sumaila said, urging beneficiaries to utilise the funds prudently.
Speaking on behalf of the recipients, Mr. Modu Ishaku thanked the Inspector-General for the gesture and assured that the funds would be used judiciously.
The latest payout follows a similar disbursement in January 2026, when approximately N18.38 million was released to nine other families of fallen officers.
The Group Life Assurance Scheme is designed to provide critical financial support to officers’ families nationwide.
