On September 16, 2026, the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, Michael Falade, presented insurance benefit cheques amounting to ₦9.797 million to the families and beneficiaries of police officers who died in the line of duty.

Falade stated that this gesture reflects the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to the welfare of its personnel and the families they leave behind. He acknowledged that while no financial amount could replace a loved one, the benefits provided meaningful support.
The Commissioner assured the beneficiaries that the Nigeria Police Force would not abandon the families of fallen officers and urged them to utilize the funds wisely, particularly for the education and welfare of the deceased officers' children. He also expressed condolences to the families and prayed for their strength.
