Amid rain, some retired police officers on Monday staged a protest at the entrance gate of the National Assembly in Abuja.
The protesters are demanding their removal from the Contributory Pension Scheme.
The demonstrators, comprising elderly ex-police personnel, held placards and chanted solidarity songs as they stood in the rain, insisting that their welfare and dignity had been neglected for too long.
Speaking during the protest, a retired Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Manir Lawal (retd.) called on the government to exit police retirees from the pension scheme, which he described as exploitative and unjust.
He said, ” We are here to ask the government to remove us from the CPS. The pension scheme is exploitative and unjust.
