Buhari stops special allowance for Villa guards

President Buhari has ordered the stoppage of Risk and Hazard Allowance for security personnel in the Presidential Villa.

According to Punch, during ex-president Jonathan's government, senior security officers covering the Villa were said to have been collecting between N75,000 and N50,000 while their junior ones received between N30,000 and N25,000 on a monthly basis.

Buhari's ADC Lt. Col. Muhammed Abubakar, summoned sectional heads of all the security agencies manning different positions within the Villa to inform them about the stoppage of the allowance.

''About two weeks ago, an assistant superintendent of one of the agencies called us and told us that the ADC met all the heads of the security agencies in the Villa where the news was broken to them,'' one affected officer told the media. ''Our own head also met us and warned us to desist from carrying rumours about the money. He said that the ADC told them that no money was being released to the guards, as being speculated.''

The officers manning the Villa were at the end told they should be contented with their monthly salaries.
