Please I need the advise of insurance experts in the house. My late uncle's PFA was AIICO pensions and his wife was told that she is required to pay 10% of the entire claim to the government before she can have access to the pension funds. The question is; Is this the normal procedure? Is the 10% charge legal?
The issue now is, they said she has to pay up the amount first before they can proceed. Can anyone explain this to me please?
