The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps -NSCDC, has presented to the family of late Inspector of Corps Ilyasu Abraham, who was killed during Kuje’s Correctional Service attack, with the sum of N2.8 million.
This was contained in a statement by NSCDC Spokesman, the Deputy Commandant of Corps, Olusola Odumosu, on Thursday in Abuja. The late Abraham was killed on July 5, at Kuje Medium Custodial Center when bandits invaded the facility and freed inmates.
Odumosu stated that the NSCDC Commandant General -CG, Ahmed Audi presented a cheque of N2.5 million and cash worth N300,000 to the slain personnel’s wife and daughter.
In addition to the presented sum, Audi assured the late Abraham’s daughter, Abimiku Abraham of employment into the Corps during the next recruitment exercise as a way of helping the family out.
He consoled the family over the loss of their breadwinner, saying that the deceased would be remembered as a hero who died in active service for the country.
“The money given to the family is in fulfillment of my promise to ensure that necessary compensation is given to the family in due time. It is also an intervention from the Federal Government and the Corps to assist the deceased family and to cater for some burial expenses,” Audi had said.
