The Inspector General of Police has launched an investigation following a viral video in which a retired police officer denounced a ₦2 million pension payout as grossly inadequate. The officer, who retired on October 1, 2023, voiced frustration over the Nigeria Police Pension Board’s approval of ₦3 million as his total retirement benefits, comprising ₦1 million in arrears from October 2023 to the present and ₦2 million as his full terminal benefit.
The officer’s public outcry has sparked widespread concern, prompting the Inspector General to order a thorough review of the pension process to address potential discrepancies and ensure fairness for retirees. Further updates are expected as the investigation unfolds.
