As a form of respite to the families of police officers killed during the violence witnessed in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has handed a cheque of N10 million each to them.
The Lagos Governor also awarded scholarships to their chidren.
Disclosing the development on the Twitter page of the Lagos State Government, it reads: “Governor @jidesanwoolu handing over a cheque of 10 million naira each to the families of police officers who lost their lives during the unrest that followed the EndSARS protest and awarding scholarship to their children.’’
The recent effort by the Governor is in fulfilment of the promise he had earlier made to compensate affected victims of the post-EndSARS protest which led to the loss of lives and valuable properties both in the state and the country at large.
