Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

PLEDGES REAFFIRMATION TO HONOURING LEGACIES OF FALLEN OFFICERS


In a continued effort to enhance the welfare of police personnel and their families, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, today, 23rd May 2025, presented the Group Life Assurance Cheques and the IGP Family Welfare Insurance Cheques to the next of kins of 1,235 fallen officers at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Louis Edet House, Force Headquarters, Abuja. Present at the event were members of the Force Management Team, Senior police officers, Insurance Industry stakeholders, and the beneficiaries of the schemes.


The Inspector-General of Police, in his address, stated that the Nigeria Police Force is built on the pillars of service, integrity and sacrifice. The Force is deeply committed to the welfare of police officers and will continually honour the legacies of the fallen officers, as no compensation can truly replace a lost life. The IGP reaffirmed the Force’s pledge to stand by the families of the fallen officers, emphasising the significance of this initiative in clearing long-standing arrears of death benefit claims dating from 2018/2019, 2021/2022, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 insurance policies.


Through sustained efforts, the Force had successfully disbursed benefits to 7,076 beneficiaries in nine phases, amounting to Twenty Billion, One Hundred and Twenty-Three Million, Four Hundred and Twenty Thousand, Six Hundred and Ninety One Naira, Seven Kobo (N20,123,420,691.7). Further demonstrating this commitment, the IGP announced the disbursement of an additional Two Billion, Eight Hundred and Fifty-Five Million, One Hundred and Eighty-One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six Naira, Fifty-Five Kobo (N2,855,181,796.55) to 1,235 beneficiaries. This tenth phase, which was disbursed today, 23rd of May 2025, brings the total insurance benefits paid to Twenty-Two Billion, Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand, Four Hundred and Eighty-Eight Naira, Twenty-Five Kobo (N22,978,602,488.25), benefiting 8,311 families.


The IGP equally reiterates the continual strive of the current leadership in providing succour for families of our fallen heroes and improving the welfare of serving and retired officers, while expressing sincere gratitude to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his steadfast support to the Force.  The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to institutionalising a responsive welfare towards a future where no Next-of-Kin would be left in uncertainty.
