Report reaching MouthpieceNG says the Controller General of Prisons, Ahmed Jafar, is threatening people on election allowances which he supposed to have paid before election.

An insider who wish to be anonymous told MouthpieceNG that the CGP postponed the payment till after polls, whilst others have collected their own before election. 

“One of the major achievement of buhari adminstration is that he ensured that he paid all the backlogs of arrears for all MDA’s. 

“Civil defence enjoyed their arrears, immigration and fire services also enjoyed their arrears but prisons failed to paid us. 

Speaking further, “It was almost a week that we have done with elections. 

“Customs, Nigerian civil defence and immigration, police and road safety have gotten the money since. 

They were paid before they embarked on the assignment. 

“Police collected  85k(snr)35k(jnr) 

Immigration (20k) 

Civil defence(15k for each poll) (30k for two polls)

Roadsafety(20k) 10k for each poll

Customs(170k)for two polls. 

Meanwhile effort to reach out to the Controller-General of prisons on his reaction over the allegation is proved abortive. 

The prison officials are protesting the non- payment of election allowance.
