Moving the motion, Taofeek warned against the maltreatment of retired police officers which could worsen the security situation in the country.
The decision was precipitated by the alleged inability of the pension fund to live up to its responsibility of paying pension and gratuities to retired police officers as at when due.
The lawmaker claimed that scores of police retirees had been protesting to the police hierarchy about the reduction of their entitlements while others have since joined the bandwagon of pensioners who don’t receive their monthly pensions and gratuities in full and as at when due.
