Published

Hundreds of policemen protested in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, demanding immediate payment of their two-month salaries.

The policemen usually transact business at the Nigeria Police Force Micro-Finance Bank.

The angry policemen stormed the bank on Monday demanding for money to settle medical bills.

The aggrieved policemen of various ranks, who did not want to be identified, however, appealed to the Federal Government to intervene in the matter, saying their families were dying of hunger.

Contacted on the issue, the Police Public Relation Officer in the state, Superintendent Othman Abubakar, declined comment, saying he was not competent to speak on the matter.

However, the Branch Manager, NPF Micro Finance Bank, Haruna Yusuf, said the Police authorities had not remitted funds meant for payment of salaries of the affected policemen, to the bank.

He said the Police Command in the state informed him that the funds were with the Budget Office, Force Headquarters, Abuja, awaiting approval.
