The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, is currently meeting with retired police officers who were protesting in Abuja over poor welfare.
Newspot reports that the meeting is taking place at the Peacekeeping Hall, Force Headquarters, in Abuja.
Earlier on Monday, some retired police officers protested at the National Assembly to demand their removal from the Contributory Pension Scheme, CPS.
The protesters, who were mostly elderly, stood in the rain, holding placards and chanting anti-government songs.
The IGP had earlier pledged to personally engage with retired police officers protesting over poor retirement benefits.
Egbetokun, while addressing the protesters, said welfare of retired police officers is being addressed but the exit of the Force from the contributory pension scheme is not something that can be activated immediately
He urged the leaders of the protest to refrain from spreading wrong narratives as the Force cannot abandon their own.
