According to the statement, “The Police Service Commission would like to express gratitude towards all applicants for demonstrating patience and comprehending our efforts in making the process inclusive and widely accepted.”

The commission affirms its commitment to uphold merit and adhere to federal character principles in recruitment for the Nigeria Police Force.

The successful candidates are expected to view their newfound status as a summons to serve the Nigerian nation with commitment, emphasized by the commission’s intention to oversee and ensure their training programs equip them adequately for joining hands in combating our country’s security issues.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) declined the constable recruitment exercise’s successful candidates’ list due to alleged corruption and irregularities in June.

According to the NPF, upon scrutinizing the PSC portal it was revealed that “a number of individuals falsely claimed to be successful candidates despite not having applied or participated in the recruitment process”.

After the NPF’s comment, the commission requested evidence from the police regarding their claims of corruption.

An allegation was made by the PSC that the police attempted to seize its constitutional authority in recruiting members of law enforcement.
