The CP who was assisted by the Deputy Commissioner of Police Administration DCP Tokunbo Afolabi, while presenting the cheques noted that the ” welfare of both serving and late officers is part of the interest of the Inspector General of Police,” and it’s on his behalf that these cheques were presented to them.
