The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is still unsure whether or not its efforts to prevent a walkout scheduled for Saturday will be heeded by the ranks and file.

As a result, according to NAIJACRAWL, the office of the Inspector General of Police, Usman Akali Baba, has maintained a high level of effort in order to thwart any planned industrial action by the rank and file.

Heads of all police formations across the country have ordered that all personnel attached to them be at work as early as 8 a.m. on Saturday, less than 24 hours before the nationwide protest and strike.

Any police officer who fails to report for duty on Saturday will be suspected of having an ulterior motive in support of the strike action.

As a result, Commissioners of Police, DPOs, and other department heads are obliged to provide hourly situation reports on events in their districts until stand down, while supervising officers are required to keep a register in all command and formation offices.

Furthermore, no officer is permitted to travel without permission, as doing so would result in harsh punishment.

Junior police officers in Nigeria have expressed their dissatisfaction with what they describe substandard care, particularly the failure to implement the new police salary system.

They claim that, while their counterparts in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are paid far more, they are only paid N47,000 per month.
