A policeman at one of the checkpoints on Auchi-Igarra road in Edo State has expressed anger over the non-payment of allowances for officers on duty in the state.
According to the policeman, other police officers who were deployed from other states for the purpose of the election had been paid, but police working in Edo have not been paid their allowances.
Some of the officers were seen stranded on the Igarra-Auchi highway, attempting to fix a Mercedes Benz car that is conveying them to their duty post.
According to TheCable, the officer said, “I am angry that we have not been paid. Other officers who came in from outside Edo have been paid. Other officers on this highway have also not been paid allowances.”
