Retired Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba, has spoken out against the contributory pension scheme, saying it has caused great hardship for retired police officers.
In a video shared by ESET TV, Baba said many retired officers are still waiting to receive their pension benefits, and the situation has become very difficult for them. He said even some of his colleagues who retired a long time ago have not received any retirement benefit. He also said his personal assistant, who retired seven months ago, has not received a single payment.
Baba said the contributory pension scheme is deeply flawed and unfair. He said there are many things happening behind the scenes that cannot be openly discussed.
In Baba’s words: “There are some things that one cannot say on air. It is all about the national assembly taking you out or putting you in. There are things one cannot say on air but it was a dirty game, it was a dirty thing. I told you we had a joint section of the National Assembly for public hearing and people came. We brought people from outside the industry, inside the industry, the retired police officers, how they have been suffering. There are some of my colleagues that have not even gotten their retirement benefits up to today”
