A retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, Isiaka Ayole, has expressed disappointment over receiving just ₦2.1 million as gratuity after serving in the Nigeria Police Force for 34 years and nine months.
Ayole, who retired on June 13, 2026, upon attaining the age of 60, said he was shocked when officials at the police pension office in Eleyele informed him of the amount approved as his retirement benefit.
Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, the retired officer explained that he joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1991 after completing his education at Government Technical College, Ile-Ife, in 1985.
He disclosed that he began his career as a constable and gradually rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Superintendent of Police.
During his years of service, Ayole said he worked with the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Ibadan in 1995 before being posted to Ikeja, Lagos, in 1999, where he participated in several operations against criminals.
