Police Speak Up On-going Recruitment, Warns Against Fraudsters

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has noted that there is no recruitment on-going presently for cadet assistant superintendents and cadet inspectors.

This was stated yesterday in a statement by the commission’s Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, while cautioning  Nigerians against falling for frauds who only want to extort them by promising to assist in job placements.

Ani said: “The Commission notes that it is in possession of messages and requests to notable Nigerians informing them of a phantom recruitment exercise and asking them to send three names for recruitment. The messages were purported to have originated from the Honourable Chairman of the Commission, Musiliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police.

“The fraudsters according to information in the Commission’s possession, are requesting from their contacts, payments to some account names and numbers of different Nigerian banks.

He noted that the commission is really embarrassed that the fraudsters could go as far as using the name of the Commission’s Chairman for their fraudulent disposition.

“It is also instructive to note that recruitment in the Commission is handled by the Commission as a body and not by individuals. The Chairman only chairs the meetings where decisions of the Commission, including that of recruitment, are taken.

“The Commission warns that Nigerians should beware of these fraudsters who are on the prowl to dupe unsuspecting citizens.”
