The Police Service Commission, PSC, has become aware of false information circulating on various social media platforms and unofficial websites, claiming that the Commission has opened a portal for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.
According to the Head, Protocol and Public Affairs of the commission, Tofty Njoku Kalu, the PSC was yet to commence fresh recruitment of policemen into the Nigeria Police Force.
Kalu said, "The general public is hereby alerted that these publications are FAKE and entirely misleading. They are the handiwork of fraudsters seeking to deceive and exploit unsuspecting citizens.
"The PSC wishes to state categorically that no recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Police Force is currently ongoing, and no such portal has been opened by the Commission.
When recruitment officially commences, it will be announced through official channels only. These include:
✓ Advertisements in reputable National Newspapers.
✓ Official announcements on the Commission's verified website:
www.psc.gov.ng
✓ Official Press Releases from the Commission.
The public is strongly advised to disregard and ignore any such fake news and to only rely on information from the aforementioned official sources to avoid falling victim to scams.
Any purported recruitment portal not published on the Commission's official website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police accordingly."
