The Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Zone one, David Omojola, on Thursday presented the sum of N35.7 million to 91 families of police officers killed during the Boko Haram insurgency in Kano.
Omojola said that families who were presented with their cheque were the third batch to receive cash support from the command.
He said the money which is an insurance coverage for the policemen is meant to alleviate the sufferings of the deceased families and those wounded in the course of their duties.
He explained that the money should not be seen as compensation for the families, saying no amount of money can bring back those killed in the course of service.
Omojola said one of the families received one million naira while the least got N100, 000 naira.
