Retired police officer sues for N1.7m gratuity and N40,000 pension over 35-year service.

A retired Deputy Superintendent of Police claims to have been shortchanged by the Nigerian government, alleging that she was owed a gratuity of N1.7 million and a pension of N40,000 after 35 years of service with the Nigeria Police Force. Esther Marcus, who has shared her experience online, is seeking redress for what she believes is a significant underpayment despite her decades-long dedication to the force. Her case highlights concerns about the treatment of long-serving public servants in Nigeria and the need for greater transparency and accountability in pension payments.
