Retired police officers threaten to storm NASS over pension .
Court declines arrest of ex-senior cops accused of falsifying age
Union of Retired Police Officers under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) has resolved to undertake a peaceful protest at the National Assembly over the payment of pension emoluments.
In a statement by the chairman of the Kaduna State chapter, CSP Mannir Lawal Zaria (rtd), the union lamented the unbearable conditions faced by members.
Zaria cited widespread poverty, lack of access to healthcare, inability to afford basic feeding, children being withdrawn from schools, and increasing deaths among retired personnel.
According to the union, representatives from the Kaduna chapter, alongside delegates from 35 other states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), will converge next Monday on the National Assembly to drive home their grievances.
The resolution followed a virtual meeting held on Monday, September 22, 2025. The party revisited the long-standing demand for the exit of the Nigeria Police Force from the CPS.
Zaria observed that for more than 15 years, the union has consistently petitioned the government, staged protests, and submitted memoranda to lawmakers to push for the exit.
He recalled that the agitation had led to three public hearings, during which lawmakers were presented with evidence comparing the meagre pensions received by retired police officers under the CPS with the more robust benefits enjoyed by their counterparts in the military and the Department of State Services (DSS).
