Ninety five presidential bodyguards and other security operatives attached to the Aso Rock Villa are grumbling over non-payment of their 13-month special allowance, Daily Trust reports.
They are officers of the Nigerian Army, the Department of Security Service (DSS), the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Federal Fire Service and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Since President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office on May 29, 2015, the State House security staff, numbering about 1,400 say they have not received their special allowance otherwise known as Risk Cautious Allowance (RCA).
The administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan was said to be paying each of the senior security personnel at the Villa N30,000; and the junior ones, N25,000 as monthly special allowance.
Even though Jonathan’s administration had reviewed the special allowance upward, the last time the Villa security staff received it was in March, 2015, reports say.
