The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has presented cash to the family of Inspector Ilyasu Abraham, who was killed during the Kuje jailbreak

He pledged his administration’s support to the family of the slain personnel and reiterated his unflinching commitment to the welfare of all officers and men of the corps.

“It is also an intervention from the Federal Government and the Corps to assist the family and to cater for some burial expenses,” he said.
