The protest, spearheaded by the Nigerian Union of Retired Police Officers, follows their vow to picket the National Assembly complex before moving to the Force Headquarters.
A key demand of the retirees is their immediate removal from the contributory pension scheme, which they have branded as “discriminatory,” citing the deaths of their members due to its perceived inadequacies.
In response to the planned demonstration, the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) had cautioned against the protest, urging the aggrieved retirees to return to the negotiation table.
Despite this warning, the protest is now underway.
