Police authorities in Kwara State have dismissed a viral video regarding a protest by some officers over alleged non-payment of one year’s salary.
About 1,056 special constables had manned some strategic areas of Ilorin on Saturday in protest, alleging that the Kwara State Government was owing them for 18 months.
The protesters complained that they have not been paid any salary by the state government since the completion of their training in April 2021.
But the Commissioner of Police in the state, Tuesday Assayomo, said the Command is not owing the salary of any conventional policeman or the allowance of the special constabulary shown in the video.
According to the police commissioner, the constabulary only receives allowances paid by the state government.
