On September 16, 2026, CP Ajao Adewale of the Bayelsa State Command presented cheques totaling N2,483,354.01 to families of deceased police officers and personnel injured while on duty. This presentation was made on behalf of IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu under the Group Life Assurance, Group Personal Accident, and IGP Family Welfare Schemes.

The beneficiaries included families of officers who died in service and those who sustained injuries. The disbursement also included outstanding balances from insurance companies following previous partial settlements.

Adewale encouraged police personnel to remain dedicated to their duties, reinforcing that the welfare initiatives are designed to support affected families and boost morale among serving officers.
