Presidential candidate of African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore and other activists have led retired police officers in a protest in Abuja.
Reports say the Nigerian Union of Retired Police Officers had vowed to be picket the National Assembly complex and thereafter move to the Force Headquarters, calling for their immediate removal from contributory pension scheme.
They described the pension scheme as “discriminatory”, complaining that their members have been dying.
However, the Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC had warned against the protest, calling on the aggrieved retirees to return to the table for negotiations.
According to PCRC, the protest is an attempt to discredit the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
