Mr Adesina Soyemi, Commissioner of Police (CP) Nasarawa State Command has presented cheques worth over N48 million to 15 families of deceased officers who died in service.
The Command’s spokesman, ASP Ramhan Nansel, revealed this in a statement made available to the News Agency of the Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lafia.
According to Nansel, the CP made the presentation of the cheques on behalf of the Inspector- General (I-G) Usman Baba-Alkali.

Nansel said the CP commended the I-G for the initiative and urged the beneficiaries to invest it in ventures that would add value to their lives.
