Retired Police officer rejects N2m retirement benefit given to him after serving in the force for 35 years (video)

A video featuring a retired superintendent of police, who served the force and the country for 35 years, has sparked a debate on social media after he was given a retirement benefit of 2 million Naira.

In the emotional video, the former police officer, who retired on October 1, 2023, expressed his frustration. He stated that the Nigerian Police Pension Board had recently informed him that his total retirement payout had been approved for 3 million Naira. This amount includes 1 million Naira in arrears from October 2023 to the present, along with 2 million Naira as his full entitlement.

The retired officer promised to refuse the payment and fight for himself.

“I laugh—the Nigerian Police. I really do. I am a retired Superintendent of Police. I retired from the Nigerian Police on October 1st, 2023. Since then, nothing has been paid to me.

Just two weeks ago, they called me and said they were going to pay me three million naira. For what? They said that was my pension.

Lo and behold, the three million naira isn’t even my full pension. One million naira is supposed to be arrears from the time I retired till now. The remaining two million naira is my entitlement.

I cannot serve this country for 35 good years and be paid just two million naira. The devil is a liar. Please, let the Inspector-General of Police hear this.

I was a Superintendent of Police before I retired. Even if your brother is a Superintendent of Police today and he’s told to go home with two million naira as retirement benefit, ask yourself if that’s fair.

I am not accepting that money. I will not collect that money. Let my service be in vain if that’s how they want it. I don’t care. I have no money, but that two million naira won’t change my life. It won’t make me rich. It never will.

I am not a rich man. I had hoped that after serving this country, I would have something reasonable to take home. But after retirement, all the police could give me was two million naira?

What a shame. And I say, I served, yes, I served my fatherland. I served my country wholeheartedly. And now my benefit is two million naira? Please, I want the whole world to hear this. Two million naira for a Superintendent of Police?

I want the Federal Government to do something about this. Even if the Federal Government won’t act, I will fight my own battle in 

my own way. I will fight it the way I see fit. No problem. But let the Federal Government take action.

How can I serve the Nigerian Police, dedicate my life, my commitment, my energy, everything to this country and after 35 years, all I get is two million naira? For what? For what? For what? Come on.”

You will learn. You will learn the hard way,” he said
