Policemen Protest Salary Deductions by zakim(m): 3:26pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
Policemen on Monday, staged a protest at the Mechanised Salary Section (MSS) of the Lagos State Police Command in Oduduwa, in the Ikeja area of the state over “outrageous and unexpected” deductions from their salaries. They said between N5,000 and N35,000 were deducted from their February salaries, while others lamented that they had not been paid for the month. The policemen are made up of rank and files and officers. Some of the affected policemen, who spoke to journalists on condition of anonymity, blamed the development on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation which pays their salaries. The majority of the cops, who complained that their salaries were meagre, stated that the deductions had dealt a blow to them as they could not meet up with their needs. Officials at the MSS office were said to have told the aggrieved policemen that the centre was not responsible for the deduction and gave them forms to lodge their complaints. A police inspector said he was amazed when he received an alert for his February salary and discovered that N19,800 had been deducted. He said, “I got the alert on March 8. My salary is N70,000. They deducted N19,800 from it and I was paid about N50,000. It is a fraud. That was why I came here [MSS office] to complain. We were told that the deduction was made by the IPPIS. “I am almost 20 years in service and I have a wife and children to cater to. The N70,000 is not enough for our upkeep in the first place. This is criminality of the highest order and we want it to stop.” A policeman and father of three children, who is attached to a police unit in the Ikeja GRA, said he was also surcharged by N20,000, adding that the MSS had promised to send their complaints to Abuja. He said when he arrived at the MSS office around 9am to lodge his complaint, he met over 300 policemen who had come for the same issue. “Some of them said they got there at 7am. The IPPIS is responsible for the deduction without giving us any explanation. Even some officials at the MSS were also affected. I am aware that there is a circular regarding the delay in salary payment, but the deduction is strange and outrageous.” he added. The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Moshood Jimoh, in a statement on Monday said the command finance officers in the 42 MSS centres across the country had been trained to ensure that issues arising from the salary payment were collated and referred to the budget office at the Force headquarters for resolution. “However, some challenges such as underpayment, omission of names on payroll, non-payment and overpayment of some police personnel currently being experienced in some state commands enrolled on the platform of the IPPIS in the payment of February 2018 salary, have been taken up with the office of the Accountant General of the Federation and it is being addressed…no policeman protested in any state of the country over migration to IPPIS,” the statement read in part. The Head of Media Office of Accountant General of the Federation, Mrs. Kene Offie told journalists she was not aware of the deductions. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/policemen-protest-salary-deductions.html 1 Like |

When There Were No Deductions, Majority Of Them Were Involved In Sharp Practices This Will Only Make It Worse Meanwhile, What Type Of System Are We Running That Someone Somewhere Can Just Make Deductions From Salaries Of Fully Employed Civil/Public Servants Without Any Prior Notice? Such Seemingly Minor Changes In How Government Operates Will Go A Long Way In Setting Us On Right Path 5 Likes |

I know NPF is bad but we still have good people in there. They should not be treated like this. They are the least paid paramilitary in the country and their salaries are deducted for no just cause. Meanwhile it's the rank and file and officers suffering it while the salaries of the IG, AIG, commissioners are complete. Why? Pls this issue must be sorted out now if not it's the common man on the road that will suffer the consequences. 6 Likes |

It's what happens once yr mda migrates to that IPPIS platform. The salary will never stay the same. You will see outrageous amounts deducted from yr pay all in the name of taxes.

The deductions is just too much and it affected all policemen and women. Why would MSS asked the affected individuals to fill any form when the accountant general knew what they did? just make sure you return the unnecessary deductions. End of story. how could you deduct 19,800 from a salary of 70,000 a month? PMB your administration is a scam |
