This is a good move. Supporting the families of fallen officers shows responsibility and helps build trust in the system. Hopefully, payments like this remain consistent and timely going forward.

What you are seeing here is the release of long-delayed financial obligations.

These payments span several years, which tells you that the issue was never about absence of funds alone, but about structure, prioritisation, and enforcement.

That’s a good move, honestly.
At least families of those officers are getting some support after their loss. ₦2.4bn covering that many people shows effort, especially clearing backlogs too.
Hopefully things like this become more consistent, not just one-off.
