I gave police 35 years, got N2m as gratuity – Retired DSP cries out


Isiaka Ayole, who retired as a Deputy Superintendent of Police after 34 years and nine months in the Nigeria Police Force, has expressed shock and dissatisfaction over the N2.1 million gratuity paid to him, alleging that 24 months of his pension contributions were omitted from his records.


Ayole, who attained the mandatory retirement age of 60 and left the force on June 13, 2026, said he was invited to the police pension office at Eleyele, where he was informed of the amount.  


“I was shocked because I served the country for almost 35 years, and I could not understand why my entitlement was that low,” he told *AYOOLA OLASUPO*. “I was told that some months were not remitted to my pension account. I do not know how that happened.”


The retired officer joined the police in 1991 after graduating from Government Technical College, Ile-Ife, in 1985 and working briefly under Ogundoyin in Eruwa, Oyo State. He rose through the ranks from constable to Deputy Superintendent of Police, serving in the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Ibadan, Ikeja, Ondo State, Alagbon in Lagos, and briefly in Zamfara State.


Ayole said he expected a more substantial package after dedicating the best years of his life to the force. “After dedicating my youth to serving the country and contributing to the Nigeria Police Force, I expected to receive a substantial amount that would support me and my family in retirement,” he stated.


He has written a formal complaint to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), requesting an explanation for the missing 24 months of remittances, but is yet to receive a response.  


“I asked them to explain why 24 months were missing from the remittances used to calculate my gratuity. I am appealing to Nigerians to help draw attention to my case and urge the relevant authorities to explain what went wrong,” Ayole said.


The retired DSP, whose identification number is 138918 and who retired from Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State, has appealed to the Director-General of the National Pension Commission, the Inspector-General of Police, and President Bola Tinubu to intervene.


“I am using this opportunity to appeal to President Bola Tinubu to look into the welfare of police officers, particularly their retirement benefits. Those within the system understand our plight. How can someone work for almost 35 years and retire with such a small amount?” he asked.


Ayole maintained that officers who have served the nation should not be abandoned after retirement and called for a fair review of his entitlements.
