Aggrieved Policemen who are being owed promotion arrears have said they would
embark on strike on March 28, 2015, the day the Presidential election
would hold. According to them, this will help them press home their
demand and convince the police authorities that they are serious about
their threat to down tool.
The police personnel said that over 100 of their colleagues retired
in 2014 without being paid the promotion arrears and other benefits,
adding that the payment had been pending for over two years.
The men who spoke to our correspondent in Abuja on Monday, expressed
fears that their benefits may not be paid as promised by the
Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba.
