The Nigeria Police Force has said there was widespread corruption and irregularities in the recently released list of successful candidates for the 2022/23 Police Constables Recruitment Exercise.
According to a statement released by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a thorough review of the list published on the Police Service Commission (PSC) portal revealed shocking discrepancies.
The statement revealed that individuals who never applied for the recruitment exercise, candidates who failed the Computer Based Test, and those screened out due to medical reasons were inexplicably included in the final list.
Recall that on June 4, the Police Service Commission (PSC) announced the approval and release of a list of 10,000 successful applicants for recruitment into the constable and specialist cadres. However, the Inspector General of Police promptly expressed concerns over the discovered irregularities in a letter of objection addressed to the Chairman of the Commission on June 10.
