Additionally, the organisation claimed that some system users were stealing money owed to these police officers.
Okechukwu Nwanguma, the executive director of RULAAC, mentioned this during a media discussion at the organization's office in Egbeda, Lagos State. He claimed to have attended a police programme, and as he was leaving, some policemen cornered him and informed him of their situation regarding the payment of arrears of their salaries.
Nwanguma stated: “You can’t be talking about police corruption when you’re owing them money due to them.
“We call for the payment of arrears of salaries of police officers.
“We call for radical improvement in police welfare, as a means of humanising the police and checking corruption.
“Apart from owing them arrears of salaries, some officers, after being promoted, continued to be paid salaries based on their previous rank for about six months.
“Some people in the system are pocketing the money due to these officers.
“The corruption in the system takes many dimensions.”
