The
attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to reports in some of the
media captioned “Nigeria Police Force Personnel Protest Non-payment of Salaries”.
The Force
Public Relations Officers, CSP Jimoh Moshood, said that
salaries of Police Personnel across ranks throughout the Thirty Six (36) States
and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and all other Police Formations are
being paid as at when due and on time.
According to him, it was misleading that
Police Personnel protested anywhere in the country because of non-payment of
salary as reported in some media today 9th October, 2017 or at any
other time.
The image maker said: "Few Policemen who went on inquiry to the
Mechanized Salary Section (MSS) in Kaduna State Police Command over complaint
of Under-payment, Omission of their names on the Salary Payroll as a result of the implementation of the
Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) handled by the
Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, were immediately attended
to and addressed by the Officer in Charge of the Mechanized Salary Section (MSS),
Kaduna State Command in the early hours of today that their problems have been
taken up by the Force Headquarters with the Office of the Accountant-General of
the Federation. And they left for their duty posts. No Policeman protested and none
went on rampage as reported in the media in Kaduna State or anywhere else in
the Country."
Moshood further said, "some challenges such as Under-payment,
Omission of names on payroll, Non-payment and Over-payment of some Police
Personnel experienced in the Eight (8) State Commands that have been enrolled
on the platform of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS)
in the payment of August and September 2017 Salary have been taken up with the Office
of the Accountant General of the Federation and its being promptly addressed."
