The Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, appear to be at variance over recruitment of new police personnel.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Monday in a statement disassociated itself from the recent placement of an advert on recruitment in a newspaper and announcement by the PSC that its portal for recruitment of police constables for 2022 has opened.
The statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, asked the general public to disregard the advertisement noting that it was not in line with the police recruitment process and has no link with the Nigeria Police Force.
“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.
“The police similarly state 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 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 statement read in part.
