Drama as police denounce recruitment advert by commission

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has rejected the recruitment advert by the Police Service Commission (PSC), saying it is not recruiting.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Monday, said the Force is yet to commence recruitment of police Constables.

“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to inform well-meaning members of the public that it has not commenced the 2022 Police Constables recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force contrary to a publication on Page 21 of Daily Sun Newspaper of Thursday, August 11, 2022, by the Police Service Commission (PSC),” Adejobi said.

He stated that the website and the purported advert did not emanate from the NPF, saying: “The Police similarly states unequivocally that the advert has no connection with the Nigeria Police Force nor is it in tandem with the Police recruitment process, and should be disregarded in all its entirety. The website to which the publication refers intending candidates – http://www.recruitment.psc.gov.ng – is not associated with the Nigeria Police Force.

“The Nigeria Police Force hereby calls on all stakeholders and intending applicants to discountenance the information in both the newspaper and on the portal as the website is not the official portal for Police Constables recruitment.”

The police spokesperson further advised Nigerians and prospective applicants to follow genuine website as well as social media platforms of the Nigerian police for any information about the recruitment.

“The Nigeria Police Force thereby assures well-meaning Nigerians that the commencement of the 2022 recruitment exercise will be announced via the official police e-recruitment website – https://policerecruitment.gov.ng, the Nigeria Police Force official website – https://www.npf.gov.ng, and advertisements on national dailies and official police social media accounts as and when due,” Adejobi added.
