The Nigeria Police Force is urging the public to ignore a recent police recruitment advertisement that is being shared on social media platforms. CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, stated on Sunday that official announcements regarding the recruitment process will be issued.
Adejobi said the police had not “commenced the 2022/23 Police Constables recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force contrary to the fake publication”.
The Force “states unequivocally that the advert has no connection with the Nigeria Police Force nor is it in tandem with the Police established recruitment process, and should be discountenanced in its entirety.
The Nigeria Police Force wants to assure concerned Nigerians that the commencement of the 2022/23 recruitment exercise will be announced through the official police e-recruitment website (https://policerecruitment.gov.ng), the Nigeria Police Force official website (https://www.npf.gov.ng), and advertisements in national newspapers, as well as official police social media accounts, at the appropriate time.
“The public is hereby advised to rely solely on the abovementioned verified sources and platforms and urged to exercise caution and vigilance in order to avoid falling victim to fraudulent recruitment schemes.”
“The Acting Inspector General of Police has further restated the commitment of the present police leadership to a standardized recruitment process with a view to having more competent and suitable recruit intakes into the policing system in Nigeria,” the statement added.
