President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, promised to
increase the salary, allowances and pensions of the Nigerian
Police force and tasked them to do more in the protection of
human life.
He gave the assurance following his approval of rank salary
structure adjustment, by which salary, allowances and pension
of policemen would be increased.
The President spoke, on Monday, during an audience with
members of the Police Service Commission and the leadership
of the Nigeria Police Force, who were on a visit to State
House in Abuja.
He regretted that the inability of the police in their
constitutional role as the frontline force in the prevention of
crime had led to military involvement in the maintenance of
law and order throughout the country.
