Mr Jesubiyi, while presenting the cheques to the beneficiaries, who are the next of kin of the late police officers, urged them to use the money for their upkeep and welfare of their respective families.
He added that the cheques were meant to ameliorate the pains of the deceased immediate families.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Odugbo Precious, appreciated the effort of the IGP in ensuring that the families of late police officers did not suffer after the demise of their loved ones who served the country.
