Police allege hijack of retired officers’ pension protest.

The Nigeria Police Force has expressed concerns that certain individuals with ulterior motives are attempting to hijack the peaceful protest by retired police officers in Abuja

The protesters are demanding improved retirement benefits and withdrawal from the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). 

The police claimed that these elements are allegedly pushing for confrontation and disorder rather than peaceful engagement, although the police acknowledge the legitimacy of the retirees' demands.

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has promised to personally address the retired police officers' concerns, and arrangements have been made for him to meet with the protesters at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
