The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has
reacted to the alleged protest by some of its men in Kaduna state following
reports of non-payment of salaries. The police denied owing any of its men
salary as claimed in earlier reports noting that all officers across ranks and
in the 36 states are paid as at when due. “It is not correct and 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,” a statement by the public relations officer of the force, Jimoh Moshood,
in Abuja, said. READ ALSO: President Buhari calls for calm on issue between
