He said: “As you can see us here, we are from 26 squadrons posted to Damaturu for operation, from different states. Right from December 2018, they have not given us any allowances for reasons best known to them, and nobody is talking to us.

“Surprisingly, other operational personnel like military do receive their allowances promptly. We want the presidency to know that we are not being paid, and if they want to close the operation we will gladly return to our respective squadrons.”

Another officer also complained that the salary that he received was not enough to feed him and his family, saying his children school fees have not been paid.

He lamented: “Instead of using the feeding allowances to feed here, we feed ourselves from the salary and our families would be there at home because we cannot feed or pay our children school fees."

Abdulmaliki Sunmonu, the police commissioner in the state, however said that he is not aware of any non-payment issue.

He said: “Even if there is, they have not reported to us. I want to know this people. They may have problems with the banks but we are not owing them."

When asked if the payment of feeding allowances are up-to date, he said: “Yes, it’s up-to date. Thank you."
