This came amidst denial by the
police hierarchy.
Recall that the Police personnel
on Monday barricaded the command headquarters located on Maiduguri-Kano
expressway, causing disruption of traffic.
“About 10,000 mobile policemen
were deployed to the state from different commands but we have not received our
allowances in the past six months,” one of them said.
But a statement by the spokesman
for the Nigeria Police Force, Jimoh Moshood, claimed the police officers and
men in the state did not protest.
He said some of the Police Mobile
Force personnel on Special Duty in Maiduguri went to the Borno State Police
Command Headquarters on inquiry over the delay in the payment of their special
duty allowance and not on protest as reported in some media.
However, a video has emerged
contradicting the statement as policemen were seen carrying leaves and chanting
songs, demanding their allowance.
They were seen calling for the
sack of IG of Police and calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in
the matter.
