There is currently a disquiet among security operatives attached to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, over their unpaid allowances.
If not addressed quickly, the situation, our correspondent learnt on Wednesday, might degenerate into a security breach.
Multiple sources who spoke with our correspondent on the condition of anonymity said “loyalty of the security operatives had dropped drastically” over the non-payment of the allowance.
Under former President Goodluck Jonathan, all security agents attached to the Presidential Villa enjoyed what they called Risk Cautious Allowance.
The security officers include those of the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police, Department of State Services, Nigerian Intelligence Agency, Federal Road Safety Commission and Fire Service.
It was learnt that Jonathan’s administration paid the allowance up until March last year and left those of April and May unpaid.
The op]eratives are however regretting that since the inception of the present administration, they have not been paid.
