Today police in Borno State (Boko Haram central) have not been paid for the past 6months and are currently on strike. Is this a country that is serious about its citizens? Police in Borno have taken to the streets to protest this injustice.

Why would NG Force PR Jimoh Moshood go on NTA to deny that men of the Police force did not protest over salary in Maiduguri, Borno state this morning when in actual sense their protest caused a lot of road blockade.
