unpaid allowances
Mobile police officers deployed to
Maiduguri, the state capital of Borno
state protested in the early hours of
Monday, July 2, over their unpaid
allowances.
This is coming few months after their
colleagues in Aso Rock, Abuja protested
the same over unpaid Risk Caution
Allowances from May 2015 to 2017.

The Sun reports that the mobile police
were deployed to Borno to boost the
counter-insurgency operation in the
state.
Recall that the mobile police had previously
reported that hundreds and thousands of
policemen on Monday, March 12,
protested against what they described as
“outrageous and unexpected” deductions
from their salaries at the Mechanised
Salary Section (MSS) of the Lagos state
police command in Oduduwa, in the
Ikeja area of the state.

The policemen made of rank and files, as
well as officers, said between N5,000 and
N35,000 were deducted from their
February salaries, while others lamented
that they had not been paid for the
month.
