December 23 will be 10 years since we lost our brother, Sulyman Tamana Bukar (PRM) M-9801-04714 serving with RS.33 Taraba Sector in a ghastly motor crash on his way to his station (Jalingo) after a family visit.
Four years later, the family lost yet another dear brother Suleiman Abubakar (SRM) M9609-03222 killed by Boko Haram insurgents on 4th November, 2014 on duty in Bajoga where he was serving.
- FG tasked on prudence as National Assembly raises budget to N13.58trn
- Kankara kidnapping and matters arising
To this date, the families (mothers, wives, children and other defendants) of these late brothers are yet to collect their benefits.
You can imagine the years that have gone past, several trips to Jalingo, Bajoga and Abuja with their next-of-kin, wives etc and several documentations.
The family lost its eldest brother Mohammed Bukar who was the next-of-kin of late PRM Sulyman Tamana Bukar while processing the benefits.
It was only after the intervention of a former member of the Federal House of Representatives that the family was paid the emolument of late PRM Suleiman Tamana Bukar.
All other claims of late PRM Suleiman Tamana Bukar and those of late SRM Suleiman Abubakar are yet to be paid.
One keeps wondering if FRSC has the responsibility to uphold staff’s rights in life and in death even for the sake of avoidance of huge deficit of trust between it and her employees.
The deaths of our brothers, who served the commission have exposed the lapses in adherence levels in the protection of the staff and compliance to the rule of law.
FRSC, please remember that their mothers, wives and children are waiting all this long.
