Aliyu said although his salary “has been processed and reflected,” he has been “unable to access or withdraw it despite several efforts made through the appropriate channels.”
“I have reported the matter on numerous occasions and followed all the necessary procedures, yet the issue remains unresolved,” he wrote.
The corporal said the situation has made it “extremely difficult” to meet personal and family responsibilities.
“This situation has caused me severe financial hardship and has made it extremely difficult for me to meet my personal and family responsibilities. Consequently, I have lost confidence in the system and have decided to resign from the Nigeria Police Force,” he stated.
