About
53 policemen serving in the Presidential Villa, Abuja have protested
over their unpaid Risk Caution Allowances since 2015, when they were
posted to the Presidency.
This was contained in a petition that the policemen filed to President Muhammadu Buhari and obtained Punch.
The
petition titled, “President Muhammadu Buhari’s mobile policemen plead
over unpaid Risk Caution Allowances from May 2015 to date”, reads in
part, “About 127 police officers attached to the Presidency have not
been paid the balance of their risk caution allowances and about 53
mobile police officers that started working with the present government
since 2015 have not been paid anything.
“The 53 policemen since
the past two years have been languishing in poverty. Most of these
policemen did the data capture and were given the presidential tags.
Those behind this delay are some of the superior officers like the
Squadron, the Principal Staff Officer and the leader of the Presidential
Vehicle Movement.
“The excuse given by the superior officers was
that the affected policemen were boys to the former Squadron leader,
one SP Mau’su.
“These superiors have started transferring
these affected policemen out of the Villa to some states and replacing
them with their own boys, who did not suffer and were not there to bear
what the policemen went through. We are pleading with our father and
President, Muhammadu Buhari, to look into these sufferings from the
beginning of his government till date.”
