A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to call out the Nigerian police after revealing how her father, a retired police officer, was given only N10K as support after suffering a stroke that left him incapacitated.
The lady shared her story as part of the ongoing rant challenge currently making waves on social media, where individuals voice their frustrations over societal issues.
She strongly criticized the way security personnel in the country are treated after years of service, lamenting that officers who dedicate their lives to the force are often abandoned in their time of need.
According to her, despite her father dedicating 25 years of his life to serving the nation, the system failed him when he became ill. She noted that the police force only contributed N10K towards his treatment, despite his deteriorating health condition.
Expressing her disappointment, she questioned how the government expects loyalty from officers when they do not adequately care for them after retirement.
Her words in part …
“My dad served this country for 25 years. Currently, he is still sick; he is down with stroke and brain damage. Guess what? The police department donated just N10K to my dad. He has been down for one year. This illness has made us sell properties.”
Following her post, many Nigerians expressed their concerns in the comment section, sharing their opinions on the matter and reflecting on similar experiences.
