The Police Service Commission (PSC) has issued a warning to Nigerians about false information circulating on social media and unofficial websites, claiming that the Commission has opened recruitment portals for the Nigeria Police Force.

The PSC stated that any recruitment portal not published on the Commission’s official website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police. PSC Head, Protocol and Public Affairs, Torty Njoku, delivered this warning in a statement released in Abuja.

Quoted statement:

“The Police Service Commission (PSC) has become aware of false information circulating on various social media platforms and unofficial websites, claiming that the Commission has opened a portal for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.

“The general public is hereby alerted that these publications are FAKE and entirely misleading. They are the handiwork of fraudsters seeking to deceive and exploit unsuspecting citizens.

“The Police Service Commission wishes to state categorically that no recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Police Force is currently ongoing, and no such portal has been opened by the Commission.

“When recruitment officially commences, it will be announced through official channels only. These include:

– Advertisements in reputable National Newspapers.

– Official announcements on the Commission’s verified website: www.psc.gov.ng

– Official Press Releases from the Commission.

“The public is strongly advised to disregard and ignore any such fake news and to only rely on information from the aforementioned official sources to avoid falling victim to scams.

“Any purported recruitment portal not published on the Commission’s official website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police accordingly.” (The Sun)
