BREAKING: Gunshots rock Borno as police stage protest

Police officers deployed to Borno State on special duty on Monday took
to the streets, barricading the highway to protest six months of
unpaid allowances.

The police officers were said to have been deployed to Borno State
from various units across Nigeria to help in the fight against
insurgency.

The angry police officers were also shooting in the air on Monday
morning forcing motorists nearby to scamper for safety.

The Commissioner of Police in Borno State, Damian Chukwu, who spoke to
journalists on the development, said the police was aware of the
situation.

He explained that the unpaid allowances had to do with the delay in
signing the 2018 budget.
