We feel that it\u2019s an act of injustice for some of our superior officers to have received their allowances while they are hoarding our own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need this money because we worked for it under stressful circumstances. It will demoralise us to see that after working for the peaceful conduct of the election, some people feel they can enjoy our sweat,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n<p>The aggrieved police officers called on the Federal Government to probe the refusal of the police authorities to pay their entitlements for the election coverage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, the aggrieved police officers, want President Buhari to probe the non-payment of election allowances in the July 16 Osun gubernatorial election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, the Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Olawale Olokode, said he is not aware the officers\u2019 entitlements were being withheld.<\/p>\n<p>He said top officers who led the election security team may be able to react to the issue because he did not participate in the excercise.<\/p>\n<p>Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force PRO, said in a statement that the delay in payment of the officer\u2019s entitlements was caused by their banks.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adejobi said contrary to the claims of the officer who spoke to journalists, some of those who were deployed for the Osun election started receiving their entitlements before the election began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith regards to the payment of allowances of Police Officers who participated in the Osun State Gubernatorial Election duty, it is pertinent to emphasize that officers scheduled for the duty had their account details forwarded to the Police Accounts and Budget (PAB) office at the Force Headquarters where payments were prepared and disbursed accordingly,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe said payment of allowances to cover the election duty was disbursed directly into individual accounts from the PAB Office and not through any State Police Command. As such, individuals started receiving payment alerts even before the commencement of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The police spokesperson said all the complaints with regards to the officers\u2019 entitlements had been addressed internally and every officer captured for the election duty has been paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis situation is noveau as it has not been experienced in the previous Anambra and Ekiti gubernatorial elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is fully the banks\u2019 fault and not that of the Force. Officers affected were communicated via SMS and internal memo as to the situation. Continuous complaint on this particular delay in payments which has been addressed amounts to impatience and indiscipline on the part of the affected officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reports and the news on non-payment of election allowances as widely publicised is misleading and unfounded, and should be disregarded.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some police officers who covered the Osun State governorship election have accused the authorities of withholding their allowances.
