The Sergeant had been sick for some time.
This
issue was brought to light when ‘Brekete
Family’ a Reality Radio/TV Talk Show during today’s edition made a live
phone call to Ag. IGP Arase to intimate him about the plight of the police
officer whose salaries have 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
Force, 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.
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 Force 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.
