 The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the LEA has made payment of entitlements to over 100 families of slain officers. The chairman of the agency, Brigadier General Bouba Mara Awar, making a cash presentation to the families in Abuji, apologised for the agency's delay in making the payment. Mara, however, says that the agency will continue to be responsive in ensuring that the future of its officers is better secured. As we tried to care for the families of our late officers, most of whom were slain in the line of duty, we also did not relent in our effort to promote their welfare. Through several measures, including the recent harmonisation of ranks, over 3,500 officers and men who are sorted as will be the settlement of the liabilities that are owed to staff in some instances over 10 years. To the officers and men who died in the line of duty, we use this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation for their service and sacrifice and for the families left behind our deep and sincere condolences. Like we all heard that since 2013 they've not done this. And like in my case, my husband just died last year and this thing has been paid a year after. It can only be God. And I return all the glory to God. I am indeed grateful to the president of Nigeria and to the chairman of the NDLA. We are grateful because this gesture will go a long way. It will help us down the line. It has been a prayer and a budding for all of us since our loved ones died. And then with the current administration coming to seek intervention for us, we are very grateful and thankful. For me in person, I wish the payment should be a year or months after the burial of that certain person. When an officer is announced dead and you know it's not easy, so this fund should come immediately or months after the burial, not years after. When I needed this money was like eight years ago, not today. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
