Barring any last-minute intervention, another crisis is set to commence between the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission, PSC, over the ongoing recruitment of police constables.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) issued a statement signed by the Force PRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, informing 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 PSC.
Part of the statement reads that “The Police similarly states unequivocally that the advert (for recruitment by PSC) 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 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.”
