According to recent reports, police officers who were evicted from the Falomo barracks in Lagos have received a significant compensation package. The Nigerian Police Force has confirmed that each of the evicted officers was paid N2 million.
This development comes as part of the efforts to relocate officers from the barracks to make way for other uses or renovations. The payment is intended to assist the officers in finding new accommodations and adjusting to their new living arrangements.
The eviction and subsequent payment highlight the ongoing efforts by the authorities to manage and maintain public facilities, including military and police barracks. The move is also seen as a way to ensure the welfare of the officers affected by the relocation.
While the exact details of the relocation plan and future use of the Falomo barracks are not fully disclosed, the compensation package underscores the commitment to supporting the officers during this transition period.
