Police constables numbering up to 10,000 who were recruited into the Nigeria Police Force claims that they have not been paid salaries for the past six months.

For clarity purpose, the Police Service Commission said it would issue appointment letters and approve their capturing into the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System for the payment of their salaries and allowances during its plenary meeting holding on Wednesday.

candidreporters.com gathered that the meeting would first approve the recommendation of the screening committee before giving the go-ahead for the issuance of appointment letters which would enable the constables to be captured on the IPPIS platform for the payment of their salaries and allowances.

Reacting to the delay in payment of their salaries, a senior officer said “the constables might be surviving on bribes and extortion.

“They have been working since May but they have not been paid till date. In other words, many of them have probably been surviving on extortion and corruption”.

Our correspondent also gathered on Tuesday that the rank and file and senior members of the force had not been paid their November salaries.
