The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed a trending list of reviewed salary structure for its Police Officers, Jomog News Nigeria.
The list had put the salary of a constable at N84,000, and that of a commissioner of police at N1.5 million.
President Muhammadu Buhari directed the national salaries, income and wages commission to finalise the new salary structure for members of the force, following the #EndSARS protests in October.
The directive was in line with one of the demands of the protesters, which called for an upward review of salaries of officers, in a bid to curb police brutality and harassment.
Buhari had, in 2018, approved an enhanced salary structure for officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
However, a list had emerged on social media over the weekend, showing a new salary structure for police officers.
The force, has now asked the public to disregard the list making the rounds.
“Ignore the trending fake news, please,” it wrote.
