The Ondo state police has denied media reports that some policemen who were on duty during Saturday's governorship election have not been paid their allowances.
Some policemen on Monday took to the streets to protest the non payment of their allowances, reports had said.
However police spokesman, Donald Awunah, said those reports were misleading as all allowances of all personnel have been paid.
“The payments were done through the Banks into the accounts numbers submitted by the personnel in compliance with the policy of Federal Government on Treasury Single Account to ensure transparency and accountability," he said in a statement.
“The payments commenced a few days to the election and most of the personnel confirmed receipt of payment alerts into their accounts before the election.”
“The report is entirely false and misleading, the members of the public are implored to discountenance and disregard it as no policeman went on a rampage or protest on the street in Ondo town over non-payment of the election allowance,” the statement said.
