ALERT: “Fake police recruitment ongoing in Nigeria”

 

The Police Service Commission has cautioned Nigerians seeking a career in the Nigeria Police Force to beware of fake recruitment adverts circulating online, insisting that it has not yet commenced the 2025 recruitment exercise.

In a statement issued on Saturday, PSC spokesman Ikechukwu Ani dismissed the reports as fraudulent, Vanguard reports.

“The Commission wishes to disown an online advertorial on the commencement of the exercise which obviously is fictitious and diversionary,” Ani said.

He explained that the PSC has repeatedly urged young Nigerians eager to join the police to be patient and await the official process.

“The Commission has repeatedly appealed to interested Nigerian youths to exercise patience and allow due process in the forthcoming recruitment exercise which will soon commence with the official footprint of the Commission,” he stated.

Ani further stressed that the fake notices in circulation bear no resemblance to the Commission’s official communication.

 

“The current online advertorial is not from the Commission and does not in any way represent the character or the content of the Commission’s statement announcing commencement of such exercises,” he clarified.

Warning fraudsters to desist, the PSC spokesman said: “For the umpteenth time, the Commission wishes to warn these disgruntled characters to stay away from this dubious past time and allow the Commission to run the exercise in a manner devoid of unnecessary interference.”

He assured that the 2025 recruitment process would soon be launched, but only under the PSC’s supervision.

“Prospective Nigerians interested in a career in the Nigeria Police Force are advised to exercise some patience as the Commission concludes arrangements for the commencement of the 2025 recruitment exercise,” he said.

Ani reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to fairness and transparency.

“The Commission is desirous to organise a recruitment exercise that will be credible, transparent and equitable,” he added.
