In a bid to avoid total breakdown of law and order on March 26, the date scheduled for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC convention, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Usman Baba has quickly approved payment of new salary structure for the police.
TheNewsGuru. com, (TNG) recalls a letter allegedly written by policemen emerged online last week threatening to embark on a two-week warning strike notice from March 26.
But the police authority immediately countered the letter declaring that the news was fake and should be ignored.
In the letter, the policemen had demanded for the 20% increase as approved by the Federal Government since last year December.
But three months down the line, no alert was received by the policemen who claimed that they work under horrible conditions as their colleagues are slaughtered on a daily basis.
As part of measures to stop policemen from engaging in industrial action, the Nigeria Police Force ordered the immediate implementation of the new salary structure.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, also approved the distribution of uniforms and other accoutrements to men of the NPF.
From all indications the NPF is not leaving anything to chance as the IGP is currently taking urgent steps to stop the said industrial action.
