SaharaReporters had on Saturday reported that some personnel of the Nigeria Police Force expressed resentment and displeasure over the Force's indiscriminate and unfair deductions from their salaries. In an internal signal by the police authorities, the officers were asked to sacrifice N500 to N5000 as Inspector-General of Police sport levy depending on the rank.
“Attempting to sensationalize this longstanding annual practice and personalizing it to the current Inspector General of Police is not only mischievous but a disservice to the above stated facts. It is evident that the purveyors of this disinformation are poised to mislead the public by distorting the truth and creating unnecessary mischief.
