IGP awards post humous awards to three police officers killed in Yobe bomb blast

The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has awarded post humous award to the three police officers who were killed in a bomb attack on a military checkpoint in Borno state yesterday July 20th.

In a statement released today July 21st, IGP Arase praised the deceased officers for their commitment to duty even until death. He also announced that 4 children of each of the officers killed will be given scholarship up to their secondary school level. The statement after the cut...


The IGP salutes the courage and gallantry displayed by officers of the Yobe State Police Command in containing the menace of insurgency in the State. He is highly pleased that in spite of imminent challenges, the officers exhibited a high sense of patriotism and dedication to duty.
While regretting the death in active service of three officers in the unfortunate incident of Monday 20th July, 2015, the IGP observed that but for the indomitable spirit, sacrifice and professionalism of the deceased officers, the terrorists would have detonated the explosives in a high profile target. To further consolidate the commendation, the IGP has approved the post-humous promotion of the deceased officers.
He has also ordered the Medical Department to foot the medical bill of the injured officer. In addition, four children each of the deceased officers will be offered scholarship up to secondary school level while the families will be afforded priority in the budding Police Housing Scheme. Similar gesture will be extended to other officers who paid the supreme sacrifice in the course of fighting insurgency.

Their families should be paid substantial amount monthly, and not just train the children till secondary school...
What they are offering them is really absurd!

That is commendable. The federal and state governments should add their widow's mite.
