The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, on Friday ordered the arrest of fraudulent persons carrying out illegal recruitment exercises under the guise that they represent the Nigeria Police Force.
The IGP further expressed the Force has not commenced the 2021 Police Constables Recruitment exercise, urging interested persons or those who had earlier participated in some stages of the suspended 2020 Recruitment exercise, to exercise patience.
According to the statement by police spokesman, CP Frank Mba, the IGP advised members of the public to beware of unscrupulous persons currently promoting/advancing fraudulent recruitment schemes online with the intent of misleading and defrauding these (prospective) applicants.
The statement partly reads: “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.”
