Nigeria Police Force Should Prove That Our Recruitment Exercise Is Corrupt – IG

The Police Service Commission has come out to challenge the Nigeria Police Force to provide verifiable evidence to support the allegations regarding the recruitment of constables.

Head of Press and Public Relations, PSC, Ikechukwu Ani recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the police alleging that several names of persons purported to be names of successful candidates are those who did not even apply to partake in the exercise should be ignored because it is a clear plan to give the commission a bad name.

He added that due process was meticulously followed throughout the exercise, and the successful candidates can be subjected to a forensic audit using the result of the JAMB computer-based test.

His words, “The Commission has studied the issues around this successfully concluded recruitment exercise and has come to the conclusion that even after the Supreme Court Judgment, the Police is reluctant to allow the Commission perform this constitutional assignment. The Commission demands that the Police should provide verifiable evidence to prove the allegations peddled against it as it is obvious that it is a case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it.

It is important to state that due process was meticulously followed throughout the exercise, and the Commission wishes to assert its prerogative to exercise full control over recruitments into the Nigeria Police Force.

The Commission is also insisting that its list of successful candidates and that of the Police should be subjected to a forensic audit using the result of the JAMB computer-based test.”

WOW.
