According to one of the sources,"They started paying last week but it was stopped on Tuesday January 4, 2023. Everywhere is quiet and nobody can say this is the cause. “Unfortunately, there was no circular as to why the affected police officers were not paid their salary arrears, rather, everywhere is quiet and men are not happy," another source added.
"It has been two weeks now but no communication from police authorities concerning the arrears, and Mopol officers are threatening to protest; that is why IG called all the Squadron Commanders for retraining but it was a warning; not training."
