Looming Insecurity: March 26th Police planned strike and Apc national convention
Reports had said some aggrieved rank and file in the Nigeria Police Force have condemned their poor salary, lack of sophisticated weapons to fight crime, bad condition of their barracks, failure to provide uniforms and accoutrements, among others.
The junior policemen queried why operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) receive much higher than they do.
Though the force headquarters had announced the implementation of a new salary structure, provision of accoutrements, tax waiver and other measures to assuage the cops, they said they no longer trust their leaders, saying they have been pushed to the wall.
They demanded N100,000 as the minimum wage, saying this would be the first condition to stop the strike slated for March 26, the same day the All Progressives Congress (APC) will hold its national convention.
According to DAILY POST the presidency had summoned the Inspector General, warning him that the nation cannot endure a strike at a time like this.
