The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has debunked the rumoured planned strike action of members of the Force.
“Police officers who did not collect their six months arrears are creating WhatsApp groups to gather numbers for the protest on Monday in Lagos.
“It has been two weeks now but no communication from police authorities concerning the arrears, and Mobile Police officers are threatening to protest; that is why the IGP called all the Squadron Commanders for retraining but it was a warning; not training.” Debunking this in a series of tweets on Saturday, Force PRO Adejobi said, “Most times, I laugh when I read what some bloggers and news platforms write or publish on policing in Nigeria. This news, at times, look sponsored because they lack professional touches and merit. They are garnished with and full of lies, unfounded issues, assumptions, presumptions, etc.”
Continuing, Adejobi said, “Police Force is not a labour union or group where its personnel meet and deliberate on protest or strike. It’s not possible. We know and are aware of some ‘don’ts’ in the NPF being a regimental organisation. There is a particular news platform whose name sounds like or resembles a desert that will always want to steer up the NPF and our nation with its fake news, unfounded points, unguided arguments, and fallacies.
“We appreciate the improvements in our welfare and conditions of service under this present administration. it’s unprecedented, and I am sure more goodies will come for police personnel as soon as possible.”All rights reserved.
