Posted by admin | 9 years ago | 2,618 times
Acting Inspect o r – G e n e r a l of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, has directed the restoration of salaries due to W/ Sgt Ajuma Ibrahim attached to Lagos State Command with immediate effect. This includes payment of all arrears owed the sergeant with F/No. 09527, who had been ill for some time.
Ibrahim’s issue was brought to light when ‘Brekete Family,’ a Reality Radio/TV Talk Show on Love FM, Abuja, made a live phone call to IGP Arase to inform him on the plight of the police officer whose salaries had not been paid since June 2013.
The IGP invited the Talk Show crew to his office. After due briefing from the Budget office of the police, it was discovered that the subject’s inability to fill the required emolument forms and processing the same in compliance to extant regulations led to the salary predicament, spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu stated.
According to him, the IGP immediately ordered the resolution of all the issues and restoration of her salary. He also directed the transfer of the subject from Lagos State Police Command to Force Headquarters Abuja and directed the Force Medical Officer to ensure she gets urgent access to needed and required medical attention.
The IGP again assured the public that the Nigeria Police is responsive and responsible and that reported issues of neglect in personnel welfare as well as cases of injustice to members of the public would be promptly addressed.
