@CIVILDEFENDERS There is an ongoing case of fraudulent salary deductions at the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), an officer of the security agency told @thesignalng on Monday.
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola The officer said there were fraudulent deductions from the January 2020 salaries of officers of the NSCDC, adding that officials at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation handling the IPPIS payment system may have attempted to cover up the fraud.
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola The officer speaks: “I work for the Civil Defence Corps. Following the table seen below, my monthly salary on level 11 step 4 is put at N188,219.8. Rent subsidy on annexure 2 for level 11 step 4 is N321,808 per annum. The rent subsidy when divided by 12 months = N26,817.33."
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “If the monthly salary of N188,219.8 is added to the monthly rent subsidy of N26,219.8, it gives a sum of a little over N215,000. In December of 2019, the minimum wage payment was implemented for the Civil Defence.”
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “I got an alert of N216,000 which is in sync with the figures on the above table. The IPPIS app reflected the payment on the app as December 2019 salaries. Few days later another N68,000 was credited as arrears from 18th April - 30th November 2019. The app also reflected that."
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “The N68,000 by itself was by far less than expected of our arrears but we awaited official communication which never came. Nevertheless, we were treated to rumours as represented by this letter below."
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “Though addressed to NIS, we feared it could affect us because our conditions of service are the same. Eventually, in January, I received a salary of N96,000 in line with the above letter. Still no official communication but we were made to swallow the bitter pill."
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “Summary of thoughts: (1) By the careful calculation based on the letter from Salaries and Wages Commission, I alongside my colleagues were not over paid in December 2019.
(2) We are yet to be paid arrears in full.”
(2) We are yet to be paid arrears in full.”
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “(3) The deductions from January 2020 salaries are not in order and an attempted deprivation of our due pay knowing we cannot complain without being charged for mutiny.”
@CIVILDEFENDERS @raufaregbesola “As security officers, we are supposed to address crime but that is no longer the case. The regimentation and threat of mutiny has cowed many of us.”
