The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mr Solomon Arase, has in Kano donated N1 million to an injured policeman for his gallantry in service.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Cpl. Ibrahim Adamu lost four fingers during a gun battle with cattle rustlers in the notorious Falgore forest recently.

Arase announced the donation while addressing officers and men of the state Police Command in Kano on Tuesday.

NAN reports that the IG also promoted and decorated Cpl. Adamu with the rank of Sergent.

He said the injured policeman was given the money to enable him seek medical attention.

The IG said the force would continue to give priority attention to the welfare of its personnel for effective service delivery.

He disclosed that the force had concluded arrangements to give scholarship to 300 children of some officers and men.

Arase said that the decision was informed by the commitment to ensure that children of junior officers were given the opportunity to further their studies.

“We are doing this to reduce the fear of the unknown among the officers after retiring, “ he said.

He also disclosed that plan was underway to build houses for the junior officers in all the six geo-political zones of the country as part of renewed efforts to provide decent accommodation for them.

He, therefore, urged officers and men of the command to avoid acts capable of denting the image of the Force.

Earlier, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Muhammad Katsina, told the IG that the Command had recovered 3,338 rustled cattle in the last two months.

Katsina said that the command had also recovered 191 goats, nine sheep and two dogs during the period under review.

He said that the command had also arrested 67 suspected armed robbers and 71 suspected rapists.

He, however, said that inadequate manpower and logistics challenges were some of the factors militating against the smooth operations of the command.

“We have only 7,967 police officers and two mobile police units, hence the need for the command to have more hands to enable it discharge its duties effectively, “ he said.

NAN reports that the IG was in the state in continuation of his nationwide tour of various state commands.

This is CHARITY and it will change nothing. Arase should put in place a SYSTEM for caring for the these injured officers and men. It is shameful to read about policemen injured on duty with unpaid hospital bills.

Nonsense.

Police are maimed, killed daily yet the families get close to nothing.

A friend who died this year in active service, his family have till 31st of this month to leave the barracks or be evicted even the family did not get 1 million but an injured officer got 1 million naira nd promotion..
