The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), through its spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, on Sunday debunked a circulating 2025 recruitment exercise notice, branding it fake.
The announcement, marked with a red “FAKE” stamp and shared on X, clarified that the document inviting applications from September 22 is not legitimate, amid growing public concern over recruitment scams.
The forged notice had falsely invited candidates with SSCE, GCE, NECO, NABTEB, OND, HND, or BSc qualifications, setting age limits between 18-25 for some and under 28 for others, with minimum height requirements of 1.7 metres for males and 1.64 metres for females. It also mandated proof of physical and mental fitness and directed applicants to a recruitment portal from September 23, claiming the process was free. However, the police have not confirmed any official recruitment plans for 2025.
Hundeyin’s post urged the public to disregard the fraudulent notice, signed in the name of the Force Public Relations Officer for the Inspector General of Police. The force advised vigilance against scams.
Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, the the Police Service Commission (PSC) has also reiterate that it has not commenced the process for the recruitment of Nigerians into the Nigeria Police Force for the year 2025.
Making this known, Spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani said in a statement, “The Commission wishes to disown an online advertorial on the commencement of the exercise which obviously is fictitious and diversionary.
“The Commission has severally appealed to interested Nigerian youths to exercise patience and allow due process in the forthcoming recruitment exercise which will soon commence with the official footprint of the Commission.
“The current online advertorial is not from the Commission and does not in any way represent the character or the content of the Commission’s statement announcing commencement of such exercises.
“For the umpteenth time, the Commission wishes to warn these disgruntled characters to stay away from this dubious past time and allow the Commission to run the exercise in a manner devoid of unnecessary interference.
“Prospective Nigerians interested in a career in the Nigeria Police Force are advised to exercise some patience as the Commission concludes arrangements for the commencement of the 2025 recruitment exercise.
“The Commission is desirous to organise a recruitment exercise that will be credible, transparent and equitable.”
