Policemen on special duty to Kano State have decried their poor welfare by the authotities.
Forty eight policemen were recently deployed in Kano from MOPOL 4 command, Ibadan, to combat the activities of Boko Haram.
Lamenting their condition, some of the policemen who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that they had been without food and water for 10 days.
They also alleged that their allowance had not been paid just as some of them have resorted to borrowing for their upkeep
It was learnt that while 18 persons were posted to the Rano Area Command, 10 were deployed in Nabawa Division, while the remaining 22 were spread across other communities in the state.
Those outside the state’s capital are said to be housed in less than standard accommodations.
However, the Force spokesperson, Frank Mba, said the allegations by the policemen were false.
He said, “From the reports available to me, this allegation is baseless, false and has no iota of truth.
“In fact, the Nigeria Police Force has never had it so good. Most police officers on national and international assignments are well taken care of.
“Majority of the policemen drafted to these areas are also part of the Joint Task Force and all members of the JTF are usually paid together.
“If the military arm of the JTF is not complaining about unpaid allowances, then why are the police complaining?
“We are unaware of the challenges faced by our men in these areas but we are doing everything to make them comfortable.”
I am a Nigerian and you?
God will punish you if you claim to be unaware of the plight of our police in kano.That is the problem we ve in Nigeria.people who are in position are always playing politics with issues including security issues at the detriment of the peace desired by Nigerians.The police man who made this assertion will not just make it for nothing sake.Is just that ,they cant say anything even if they are dying.We all know what is happening in the force,they dare not open their mouth to say anything to the public. But never mind calamity is upon everyone.Infact it does not know whether you are the boss or not.Let him deniy it, very soon it will get to him or even his dear ones.
God will punish him as Yakubu rightly posted, this Mba is in the same capacity in police force as Okupe is Presidency…
