Angry police operatives protest unpaid salaries
It was a surprise to many when a group of police officers under the banner of the Concerned Police Inspectors in Nigeria (CPIN) staged a peaceful protest in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, over the non-payment of 11 months’ salary arrears.
,,,,,,,The officers marched to the Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) to express their grievances.
The leader of the delegation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “Our crime-fighting morale has,,,,been dampened by the lack of commitment to our welfare by the police authorities.”
The officers, who were promoted from Inspector II to Inspector I, amount to over 1,500 personnel from various police formations across the state.
,,,,,,They called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to intervene and ensure the payment of their salary arrears, which they…..say is crucial for their survival in the face of the current harsh economic conditions in the country.(Native Reporter)
