The Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2 Command, Adeyinka Adeleke, has said the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba., is working on the implementation of the increment in the salaries and allowances of the police in line with the approval of the Federal Government. Reports gathered that a group recently threatened that police personnel would embark on a two-week strike starting from March 26, because the approved salary increment had not been implemented.
Reacting to the development, Adeleke, while delivering a lecture to police officers and men of the Ogun and Lagos states commands, described the strike threat as fake. He appealed to the police personnel to be calm, law-abiding, steer clear of rebellious action, be focused on their duties and maintain the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force as a disciplined organisation with laid down rules and guidelines for addressing grievances if any.
