The Police Service Commission (PSC) has said that screening exercise for candidates who applied for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force was yet to commence.

PSC Head, Press, and Public Relations, Mr Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said the commission has also not invited any candidate for the screening.

According to him,

“The commission is surprised to note that some Nigerians besieged the state commands of the Nigeria Police throughout the country for a screening exercise not scheduled by the Commission and for which no applicant was invited to.

“Applicants are hereby advised to ignore any statement on this as it did not originate from the Commission.

The Commission will soon notify shortlisted candidates of a date for the commencement of the exercise.”
