Police Service Commission suspends constables’ recruitment after protest by IGP
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has suspended the 2022 recruitment of constables after a protest by the Force Headquarters.
The PSC, in a statement by Ikechukwu Ani, its spokesperson, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the suspension of the recruitment exercise was to resolve all contending issues with the Nigeria Police Force.
The PSC said its action was in the nation’s interest and urged all interested applicants to be patient while the issues were being resolved.
The commission said it would continue to strive to give Nigerians a police force to be proud of.
The Force Headquarters on Monday said it had not commenced recruitment process for the 2022 batch of constables, contrary to a publication by the PSC.
On August 11, the PSC issued a publication on the commencement of the 2022 recruitment.
The Force Headquarters, however, said it had no connection with the advert, which it said was not in tandem with the police recruitment process and called on the public to disregard it.
