The Police Service Commission (PSC) has alerted the public about fake police recruitment advertisements circulating on social media.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the Commission disclosed that it has not yet commenced the process for the recruitment of police officers for 2025.
Ani described the reports of a recruitment exercise and application invitations circulating on social media as “misleading” and “mischievous”.
“The Commission has not commenced this exercise and obviously will follow established procedures and processes when it is ready. It hereby advises prospective candidates to ignore the publications and wait for official communication.
“The Commission frowns at this consistent attempt to fraudulently confuse the public each time there are preparations for recruitment. It calls on relevant security agencies to go after these fraudsters and protect the integrity of police recruitment,” the statement noted.
The spokesperson assured that the Commission will continue to ensure that the exercise is transparent and in line with established rules and regulations.
He warned fraudsters to stay away from PSC programmes, adding that they would be identified and sanctioned according to the law.
