The accident which occurred along the Zaria-Kano Expressway, Karfi Kura, resulted in the unfortunate loss of 5 officers, with 11 hospitalised after the accident. 8 individuals have been successfully discharged from the hospital after receiving medical attention, while 3 others are still undergoing treatment.


In a decisive response to this tragic event, the Inspector General of Police donated the compensatory payment of Ten Million Naira (N10,000,000) each to the families of the 5 deceased officers, Two Million Naira (N2,000,000) each to those still receiving treatment and the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000) each to those who have been discharged after treatment, bringing the total payment to the sum of Sixty-Million Naira (N60,000,000).


The IGP has ordered the Police Insurance Unit and the Police Account & Budget department to expedite the preparation of life insurance benefits for the deceased officers, as well as the welfare scheme benefits for other affected officers, and to ensure that payments are made without delay, as this donation is exclusive of their statutory benefits from the Nigeria Police Force. 


The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of IGP Egbetokun, remains committed to the welfare of its personnel, as the IGP reaffirms the commitment to supporting officers and men of the Force and their families during trying times. These efforts aim to ensure the dignity and well-being of officers, further enhancing their capacity for effective service delivery. The IGP once again expresses his deepest condolences to all the families of the deceased and prays for the quick recovery of those still receiving medical care.
