Police commission suspends constables recruitment after IGP objection

The Police Service Commission has suspended the recruitment of constables into the Nigeria Police Force.

This came less than 24 hours after the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, fumed over a PSC advert on the recruitment.

A statement issued by the force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the IGP had asked Nigerians to disregard the advert placed in some national dailies.

Reacting on Tuesday, the commission in a statement by its spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, confirmed that there are issues between the police force and the PSC, adding things would be sorted out as soon as possible.

He asked Nigerians interested in joining the force not to apply for the job yet so as to give the commission the time to settle its differences with the police authorities.

Ani stated, ”The Police Service Commission notes the publication of the Nigeria Police Force with regard to the 2022 Constable recruitment exercise. ‘The Commission wishes to state that all contending issues around the exercise will be resolved between the two parties in the interest of the nation.

”All interested applicants and other Nigerians desirous of a career in the Nigeria Police Force should exercise patience while these issues are being resolved.

”The commission will continue to strive to give Nigerians a Police Force they will be proud of.”
