Families of three police officers who died while on duty have received N10 million each from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State.

 

The money was given to the families of the late policemen on Tuesday by the governor who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde.

 

He presented three individual beneficiary cheques of N10 million each to the bereaved families at the Government House, Alausa, Ikeja.

 

This was contained in a statement on Wednesday by the Media Director, Rapid Respond Squad, Taofiq Adebayo.

 

The three beneficiary families were those of: Inspector Ajibola Gafari, Constable Olufemi Richards of the RRS and ASP Omisore Olamide of the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement Unit).
