The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba has ordered an investigation into those behind various bogus recruitment schemes noting that the Police Force is currently not recruiting.
This followed 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.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba implored members of the public who had earlier participated in various stages of recruitment to exercise patience.
“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 are therefore advised to exercise patience and beware of unscrupulous persons currently promoting/advancing fraudulent recruitment schemes online with intent to misleading and defrauding these (prospective) applicants.
“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.
