According to the spokesman, it was a mischievous attempt by unscrupulous individuals to bring the Force to disrepute and misinform the general public.

While he noted that the police is a regimented and disciplined organization with laid down rules and guidelines for addressing grievances, he said the personnel are fully aware that a strike action or other deliberate disruption of law enforcement services by any security organization is mutinous.

It was emphasized that the IGP is accelerating efforts to ensure the full implementation of the increment of salaries and allowances as proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari and approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

According to the statement, there are ongoing reforms such as; renovation of training schools, upgrade of police training curriculum, procurement and deployment of technology to boost ICT-driven policing, cooperative society’s housing scheme and the provision of kits, accoutrement, and body armor.
