On Tuesday, May 21, 2024, a group of retired police officers gathered in Abuja, Nigeria, to voice their grievances over delayed pension payments.

The protest highlighted the financial struggles faced by the pensioners amidst the nation's economic difficulties.

Armed with placards, the retirees from various state chapters expressed their discontent with the Pension Commission's (PENCOM) non-payment of their dues.

The images and videos of the demonstration have circulated widely, drawing attention to their plight.

The retired officers called upon the Federal Government to exempt them from the contributory pension scheme, which they believe is hindering their ability to receive their pensions.
