• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think my friend, Mr. Ojode, needs to make very good use of his ears so that he can hear the reply because it is important. I never said that police officers are paid a risk allowance. I only said that it is being considered. It is one other allowance the Government is considering to pay the police officers. However, I said that they are paid a medical allowance. So, he can choose to disagree with me but he cannot put words in my mouth. view
