The Police Service Commission (PSC) has denied reports that it cancelled the recently concluded 2022 police constable recruitment exercise.
Despite allegations of irregularities from the police, the commission insists that the final list of successful candidates will not be cancelled.
In a statement released on Tuesday by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the commission clarified that the recruitment exercise was conducted in accordance with relevant laws and guidelines.
Ani stressed that the commission has not succumbed to pressure and will not cancel the final list of successful candidates.
The statement reads in part, “The Police Service Commission has just concluded routine maintenance of its portal containing the list of successful candidates for the recently concluded recruitment into the constable cadre of the Nigeria Police Force. The commission wishes to disown a statement circulating in social media alleging that it has succumbed to pressure and cancelled the final list of successful candidates.
“The commission has not and will not cancel the final list of successful candidates from the recruitment exercise which was conducted in clear adherence to relevant guidelines and provisions of the law. The commission is in control of the situation and has since restored the Recruitment portal with its original contents.”
Ani urged successful candidates to disregard the reports, advising them to ignore “the deliberate antics of desperate groups bent on destroying the good work of the Commission.”
