They appealed to the Federal Government to remove them from the contributory pension scheme.

During the 2021 protest, they displayed placards with messages such as ‘NPF pension defrauding Police retirees, SOS,’ ‘Police officers are dying in penury under the contributory pension scheme,’ and ‘CPS is a death sentence against police!’
