The Nigeria Police Force has urged Nigerians to disregard an advert issued by the Police Service Commission (PSC) on the purported commencement of 2022 constables recruitment exercise.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi stated this in a Monday statement issued on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
Adejobi said that the advert has no connection with the Nigeria Police Force and was not in tandem with the police recruitment process.
He said that the commencement of the 2022 constable recruitment process would be communicated through official channels.

“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 (PSC).
“The Police similarly states 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 – http://www.recruitment.psc.gov.ng – 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 Nigeria Police Force thereby assures well-meaning Nigerians that the commencement of the 2022 recruitment exercise will be announced via the official police e-recruitment website – https://policerecruitment.gov.ng, the Nigeria Police Force official website – https://www.npf.gov.ng, and advertisements on national dailies and official police social media accounts as and when due,” the statement read.
