Some personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service and Nigeria Correctional Service deployed for the August 15 Osun State governorship election are yet to receive their election duty allowances, The PUNCH learnt on Wednesday.
Checks by The PUNCH revealed that N120,000, paid in two separate deposits of N50,000 and N70,000, was received by personnel deployed from the Osun State command of the Nigeria Police Force as their election duty allowance a few days after the poll.
The NSCDC officially deployed 10,210 personnel, including armed personnel drawn from the six South-West states, the FCT, Kano, Nasarawa, Kogi and Kaduna commands, among others.
Findings also indicated that 300 personnel, largely from the Osun command of the Correctional Service, were deployed for election duty during the poll.
However, the number of personnel deployed by the Immigration Service and Federal Fire Service for the poll could not be immediately ascertained, as reliable sources within the two organisations said those on duty were drawn mainly from their Osun commands.
