A new dispute over the Police recruitment exercise has started between Police service Commission and Inspector General of Police Alkali Baba Usman.
An advertisement on the recruitment of police constables for the year 2022 had been opened on Police Service Commission portal and published in a National Newspaper.
However, the Nigeria Police Force encouraged Nigerians to disregard the advertisement.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Monday said the advert had no connection with the Nigeria Police Force and was not in tandem with the Police recruitment process.
The statement reads in part, “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 state 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.
“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.”
Recall that the former IGP, Mohammed Adamu, and the PSC Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Smith, were at loggerheads over which body is allowed by law to carry out the recruitment process.
The commission had dragged the former IGP and the Force to court for conducting the recruitment exercise of 10,000 constables in 2019.
