An activist, Omoyele Sowore has said he would mobilise legal
support for the nine policemen dismissed by the Inspector-General of Police,
Usman Alkali Baba, over the planned industrial action.
NigerianEye reported earlier that two Inspectors, five
Sergeants and two Constables were dismissed on Tuesday for allegedly
spearheading the call for a strike among the rank and file.
Junior police officers have threatened to go on strike over
poor salary structure, lack of sophisticated weapons, delay in promotion and
others.
But, the police authorities said they tracked the phone
calls of the nine officers to detect that they were the brains behind the
purported strike earlier slated for March 26.
A police signal said the IGP approved their dismissal after
an orderly room trial, asking that they be de-kitted and deleted from the
payroll.
Reacting on Wednesday, Sowore asked Nigerians to link him up
with dismissed officers, who he said were being “victimised” by the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration for planning what he called a legitimate strike
action.
His words: “If you know how I can reach these Nigeria Police Force men victimised by the Muhammadu Buhari regime for planning a legitimate strike action, I will be happy to mobilise legal support for them, they’re heroes! #WeCantContinueLikeThis.”
