Senator collects N29m monthly’ – Sowore on N1.7m gratuity for DSPs after 35 years
Popular activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has decried the alleged payment of N1.7 million gratuity for retired Deputy Superintendents of Police, DSPs.
DAILY POST reports that a retired DSP, Esther Marcus, had in a viral video alleged that after serving in the Nigeria Police Force for 35 years, she was paid N1.7 million as gratuity.
Esther, who claimed that she retired in 2018, was heard in the video saying that she received N1.7 million as gratuity and was subsequently placed on a N40,000 monthly pension.
Reacting to the video, Sowore lamented that “Nigeria does nothing but evil to its workers,” describing the report as a sad reality.
Sowore, in a post on his X handle, pointed out that if a Nigerian senator is entitled to “N29 million per month,” Nigerian workers should deserve better.
He wrote, “How on earth is anyone who worked for 35 years paid N1.7m ($1,100) as gratuity?
“This is a retired DSP of @policeng speaking about her pension and gratuity after retiring from the Nigerian Police Farce. This is so sad!
“It is the same country where a senator takes home N29 million per month, but the irony is that these @policeng officers will kill you in a heartbeat for fighting the system that oppresses us all!”
