The Police Service Commission (PSC) has advised applicants of ongoing recruitment of 10,000 police constables into the force to disregard a list in circulation.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday by spokesman of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani.
Ani said: “It has been observed that as at the afternoon of today, Wednesday, September 4th, 2019, the list has been withdrawn from their website.
“The Commission will like to report that the list was compiled solely by the Nigeria Police Force without the involvement of the Police Service Commission, the body that has the constitutional mandate for appointment.
“All candidates who took part in the aptitude test held on Saturday, August 3rd, 2019 are hereby to watch out for the authentic list that will emerge after the meeting of the bodies.
“The leadership of the commission since coming into office has been doing everything possible to restore sanity not only in the recruitment exercise but also in all other facets of the mandate of the commission”.
He said the commission will never compromise or abdicate its constitutional mandate and will continue to insist that the recruitment exercise is merit-driven, transparent and in conformity with the Public Service Rules and Federal Character principle.
“PSC will resist any attempt to sabotage its efforts in this direction. Applicants are therefore advised not to panic or despair as all their interests will be adequately protected.”
