Retired Policemen have blocked the Aso Rock Villa over the pension scheme.

Philips News reports that retired personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and their families, on Monday, April 20, 2026, blocked a gate of the Presidential Villa in Abuja in protest against their continued inclusion in the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).

This newspaper understands that the protesters, under the aegis of the Police Retired Officers Forum of Nigeria (PROF), described the scheme as “fraudulent, illegal, inhumane, and obnoxious,” calling on President Bola Tinubu to assent to the Police Exit Bill.
Retired Policemen said the bill passed by the National Assembly on December 4, 2025, and transmitted to the Presidency on March 16, 2026, would remove police personnel from the CPS if signed into law.

Leading the protest, CSP Raphael Irowainu (retd.), the National Coordinator of PROF, said the demonstration was aimed at urging the President to act on the legislation.

“Our major aim here is to prevail on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sign our bill the bill exiting the police from the Contributory Pension Scheme passed by the National Assembly on 4th December 2025 and transmitted to him on 16th March, 2026, into law, nothing more than that,” he said.

The National Coordinator of PROF lamented that while other security agencies have been removed from the scheme, police personnel remain included.

“The soldiers have been exited, the SSS has been exited, the Air Force has been exited, the Navy has been exited, the National Intelligence Agency has been exited. The police, who are the father of them all, are trapped in this obnoxious Contributory Pension Scheme,” he added.

The protesters argued that the CPS has adversely affected their welfare, describing it as a “slavery and untimely death-inducing pension scheme.”

Meanwhile, PhilipsNews reports that today’s protest by the retired policemen is not the first by retired police officers over the issue. In July 2025, retirees staged a similar demonstration at the National Assembly, demanding their removal from the scheme.

Some of the demonstrators, many of them elderly, also protested at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, decrying what they described as poor pension conditions under the CPS.
