The Presidency has summoned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over the reported protest embarked on by police personnel in Maiduguri, Borno State, on Monday. The policemen were said to have protested over non-payment of their monthly salaries and allowances. The Police in a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, had earlier dismissed the media report, claiming that the policemen only made inquiries on their allowances and salaries before returning to their duty posts. According to the statement, the delay in payment is due to late passage of the Appropriation Act, adding that with its assent by President Buhari, the issue will soon be addressed.
