‘We’ve not started police recruitment’: PSC warns Nigerians against fake adverts

The Police Service Commission (PSC) says it is yet to commence the process for the recruitment of police officers for the year 2025.

The PSC made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, on Monday, August 4, 2025.

Ani stated that the stories currently circulating on social media that the recruitment has started are misleading and mischievous.

Ani said: “The Commission has not commenced this exercise and obviously will follow established procedures and processes when it is ready. It hereby advises prospective candidates to ignore the publications and wait for official communication.

“The Commission frowns at this consistent attempt to fraudulently confuse the public each time there are preparations for recruitment.

“It calls on relevant security agencies to go after these fraudsters and protect the integrity of Police Recruitment.”

The PSC spokesman noted that the commission will continue to ensure that the exercise is transparent and in line with established rules and regulations.

“The fraudsters are warned to stay off Commission’s programmes as they would be fished out and sanctioned according to law,” he added.
