The Nigeria Police Force has honoured police officers who lost their lives to a robbery incident at a Zenith Bank branch on Wethedral Road , Owerri , Imo State , on February 22 , 2017 .
It would be recalled that the robbery became public knowledge in May after a security camera video of the incident went viral.
PUNCH had reported that sergeants Chukwudi Iboko and Sunday Agbo, who were attached to the bank at the time of the robbery died as a result of gunshot injuries . A third policeman , OtuAttang , lost one of his eyes .
The Inspector -General of Police , Ibrahim Idris , said the NPF named a newly built office complex at the Nigeria Mobile Police Force 20 in Lagos after the policemen to encourage others like them to be hardworking .
The newly built one-storey complex was commissioned by the IGP at MOPOL 20 on Thursday in Lagos .
During the commissioning, the IGP saluted the gallantry of the dead sergeants , saying they deserved to be honoured.
The IGP , who encouraged other sergeants to be dedicated while in ser vice , sympathised with the families of the deceased .
“This is built in honour of late ChukwudiIboko and Sunday Agbo and other rank and file of the Nigeria Police who died in active service . We cherish their service to the nation ,” he added .
The wives of the deceased expressed happiness over the immortalisation of their husbands.
They , however , complained that they were denied benefits expected from the police force.
Agbo’s wife , Blessing, lamented that she had been side -lined from enjoying some benefits .
She said , “The bank has not been forthcoming with their promise . I don’ t have anything to live on . Neither the bank nor the police is helping . I have six children and I want the IGP to ensure that our benefits are paid. ”
“This is a good thing and I am happy that this kind of thing is done in their honour . But it has been hard to survive. The police should help to pay my children’s school fees and other necessary benefits ,” Rose Iboko added .
It would be recalled that PUNCH had launched a GoFundMe account to help the families in collaboration with some activists , raising more than $ 15 ,000 in the process .
