Aso Rock policemen protest ‘discriminatory’ allowance

Some policemen attached to the Police Mobile Force 24, State House, are not happy over their alleged exclusion from the payment of the outstanding allowance to security men attached to the Presidential Villa, Abuja recently, according to Punch.

The President Muhammadu Buhari had cleared the backlog of allowance of security agents, thereby dousing the tension that was brewing among the operatives.
It was reported that the President, through the Office of the National Security Adviser, also effected over 50 per cent increase in the security agents’ allowance popularly referred to as the Risk Cautious Allowance.
Multiple sources among the policemen told Punch’s correspondent on the condition of anonymity on Thursday that about 288 personnel were exempted from the payment of the allowance.
The sources claimed that those who were exempted from the payment were allegedly tagged “Peoples Democratic Party policemen.”
One of them claimed that the only problem authorities had with them was because they worked in the Presidential Villa under the last administration.
