streets again for agitations that why we are saying Brig. Gen. Boroh should pay our money directly to our account. as we are talking to you
now, the money is not fully paid to us. so, we want the Federal Government to listen to our cry before it is too late. As we are talking to you now, some of our leaders have not been paid. Boyloaf has even seized Douglas’s money. We are begging President Muhammadu
Buhari to interfere in this matter and stop Boyloaf from deducting our money. We want Boyloaf to stop paying our money. let Boroh pay our
money straight into our account”
