The Nigeria Police Force has said that there is no ongoing recruitment into the Force describing as unscrupulous persons currently promoting the fraudulent recruitment online.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba in a statement issued by the Force image-maker and Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, on Friday said the Nigeria Police is currently not recruiting urging the public to beware of those behind the fraudulent recruitment scheme with the intent of misleading and defrauding prospective applicants.
The IGP tasked members of the public who are desirous of joining the Nigeria Police Force or who had earlier participated in some stages of the suspended 2020 Recruitment exercise to exercise patience.
“This clarification is coming on the heels of the proliferation of fake recruitment portals and schemes on the internet falsely claiming that the Nigeria Police Force has commenced the 2021 Police Constables Recruitment exercise.
“The general public is hereby advised that, as is customary with the Nigeria Police Force, every recruitment process of the Force commences with an official statement and advertisement in relevant mass media platforms, with detailed information on processes and procedures. This the Force will do as soon as it is set for the exercise.”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force has commenced investigation aimed at unravelling and prosecuting the orchestrators of these bogus and fraudulent recruitment schemes.
