IG Of Police Warns Interested Applicants Not To Buy Fake Recruitment Form

IGP Solomon Arase

The Nigeria Police has warned youths seeking to join the Force against buying fake recruitment forms from persons parading themselves as agents.

The Force made this known in a statement on Friday that there had been an overwhelming interest by many Nigerian youths to join the police force after President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval of the recruitment of 10,000 police officers.

It would be recalled that the President warned on Thursday that the police should not extort intending applicants. The Force therefore, advised applicants to wait for instructions on how to apply, adding that the vacancy would be announced soon. 

An Abuja-based policy analyst, Mr. Jide Oluyemi, said, “Many government organizations like the Nigeria Police had swindled unemployed youths while they were seeking for jobs. He made reference to the the recent immigration recruitment exercise, where scores died after paying much to obtain forms and take exams.
