The PSC clarified that any recruitment portal not published on its official website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police. The warning was issued by PSC Head of Protocol and Public Affairs, Torty Njoku, in a statement released in Abuja.
Njoku stated: “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 rely only on information from the official sources mentioned above 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.”
