Na Wa!

Na Wa is a Nigerian Statement Which Means Beyond Words! 
Wow! Men of the Nigerian Police - constabularies, captured/seen in a street protest! 

In this viral video below. Police constabularies protest over non-payment of salaries.

The men purportedly protest non payment of their salaries. Right in front of the Kwara State Government House.

Brave move! The Government should please resolve the issues promptly. The police is your friend they are very instrumental to the protection of life and property through the enforcement of laws and regulations.

An Update On The News Above;

The Vanguard News reports that the Police Command in Kwara has dismissed the viral video circulating above, regarding a protest by some purported policemen over alleged non-payment of one year salary.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Tuesday Assayomo, said in a statement issued by the command Spokesman, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, on Saturday in Ilorin.

Assayomo added that the police was not owing the salary of any conventional policeman or the allowance of the special constabulary shown in the video.

”It is important to state that the concept of community policing and recruitment of special constabulary is voluntary in nature, meaning they are not on monthly renumeration like the conventional policemen.

"This much the constabulary were briefed before taking up the job, besides, the job is not full time job,” the police commissioner said.

"Due to the complaints of the constabulary regarding non-payment of stipends by the state government, they  were invited today for a meeting by the state government on ways by which their complains could be looked into.

”It was surprising that the same set of constabulary after the meeting with agents of the state government could go online with a video claiming that the government was owing them salaries for a year.

"Therefore, members of the public are advised to disregard the viral video as it was designed to embarrass the police and also to draw an undue sympathy from the public,” he added.

Assayomo said the special constabulary are at liberty to honorably disengage from the service if they so wish. 

He explained that the constabulary only receive allowances paid by the state government.
