The Police Service Commis­sion (PSC) has suspended the recruitment process of Constables into the Nigerian Police Force.

The commission did this less than 24 hours after the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, fumed over an advertorial on recruitment.

In a statement issued by the Force Spokesman, Olu­muyiwa Adejobi, the IGP had asked Nigerians to disregard the advertorial which was placed in national dailies.

Reacting on Tuesday, the commission in a statement by its Spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, said, “The Police Service Commission notes the publi­cation of the Nigeria Police Force with regard to the 2022 Constable recruitment exer­cise.

“The commission wishes to state that all contending issues around the exercise will be re­solved between the two parties in the interest of the nation.

“All interested applicants and other Nigerians desirous of a career in the Nigeria Po­lice Force should exercise pa­tience while these issues are being resolved.

“The commission will con­tinue to strive to give Nigeri­ans a Police Force they will be proud of.”
