Some retired Nigerian Police Officers gathered in front of the National Assembly, Abuja to protest against the Contributory Pension Scheme.
The retired officers stormed National Assembly on Tuesday to drive home their demands for improved retirement benefits
Part of their request is that the Nigerian Police Force be withdrawn from the Contributory Pension Scheme just as their counterparts in the army and other sister security agencies.
According to them, after 35 years of dedicated service to the nation, the monthly take-home of a retired officer under the said scheme is very poor.
