The Nigeria Police says it has come to its knowledge that many young and able-bodied Nigerian youths desirous of enlisting into the force are being hoodwinked by fraudsters into believing that the Force is currently engaged in recruitment/enlistment exercise.

“It has therefore become necessary once again to inform members of the public that no recruitment/enlistment exercise is taking place now at the Force Headquarters or at any of our institutions, Commands and Formations,” Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. ACP Olabisi Kolawole, said.

She said the police “will duly inform the general public whenever it intends to commence recruitment of personnel through appropriate channels, including public advertisements in the media.”

“The public is therefore advised not to fall victim, by making monetary payments or any other consideration to fraudsters masquerading through Facebook and other website platforms as agents of the police. The public is further advised to feel free to contact the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in their state of residence or the Divisional Police Officer (DPO)

nearest to them whenever in doubt on all issues relating to recruitment and other policing matters,: the Police Spokesperson said.
