Constabulary Recruitment: Katsina Police Alert Applicants To Activities Of Fraudsters

The spokesperson for the police in Katsina State, ASP Aliyu Abubakar-Sadiq, has issued a warning to applicants seeking constabulary recruitment to remain cautious of online imposters, scammers, and potential fraudsters.

Abubakar-Sadiq said that the advice became necessary so that criminal elements would not take advantage of the recruitment process to defraud unsuspecting applicants.

He announced that the physical and credential screenings for candidates who have completed online registration and received invitations will commence from January 8 to January 29.

The screenings are scheduled to take place at the Police Officers’ Mess, Kangiwa Road, GRA, Katsina.

“Applicants are to appear at the screening venue in their clean white tee-shirts, shorts, socks, and canvas,’’ he stated.

Abubakar-Sadiq added that candidates must adhere strictly with the dates stipulated on their invitation slips and report to the screening venue with their National Identity Number.

They are also required to present original and duplicate copies of their ‘O’ Level Result(s), birth certificates or declaration of age, two white office files and recent passport photographs.

Candidates are equally required to present a printout of their application forms, completed guarantor’s form and evidence of physical and mental fitness from a government-recognised hospital.

Other items to be presented are certificate of origin signed by the local government chairman or secretary, evidence of good character from a traditional ruler, district, or village head of the applicant and invitation slip.

According to Abubakar-Sadiq any candidate who fails to present any of the documents will not be considered for screening. (NAN)
