RETIRED NIGERIAN DSP QUESTIONS N2.1M GRATUITY AFTER NEARLY 35 YEARS OF POLICE SERVICE
Retired Deputy Superintendent of Police Isiaka Ayole has called on Nigerian authorities to review his retirement benefits after he was informed that his gratuity amounted to N2.1 million following 34 years and nine months in the Nigeria Police Force. Ayole, who retired on June 13, 2026, also says 24 months of pension contributions are missing from the records used to calculate his benefits and has asked PenCom, police authorities and the Federal Government to explain the discrepancy. His case comes as retired police officers continue pressing for major pension reforms and the government considers proposals for significantly enhanced gratuity and monthly retirement benefits.
