A police constable, Leke Obaba, on Thursday evening str-ípped himself nak-éd at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, to protest over his unpaid salary.
The police officer, who told P.M.NEWS that he joined the police force in 2003, complained that he had not been given his salary since he started working with the force.
“You won’t believe that I have no access to my account since I was demobilised from the Mobile Police Force, MOPOL, 53 Akwa Ibom State. For over 11 years I have worked I was not paid any salary. I was later transferred from Kaduna Command to Lagos last year. Though when I was in Kaduna I was taken to a psychiatric hospital, I have wife and children, how do I feed them?”
