The Police Service Commission (PSC) has categorically denied reports circulating on social media claiming that the 2025 recruitment exercise for Police Constables has commenced. In a firm rebuttal issued on Sunday, the Commission warned members of the public to disregard the misleading information and remain vigilant against fraudsters attempting to exploit the recruitment process.
In a statement signed by the Commission’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, the PSC described the reports as “misleading and mischievous,” clarifying that no official recruitment exercise has begun.
“The Commission wishes to state unequivocally that it has not commenced any recruitment exercise for the Nigeria Police Force for the year 2025,” the statement read. “Prospective applicants and the general public are advised to ignore the fake publications and wait for formal announcements through official channels.”
The PSC expressed concern over the recurring activities of fraudsters who prey on job seekers by spreading false recruitment notices online. The Commission called on security agencies to intensify efforts in tracking and apprehending the perpetrators behind these fraudulent schemes.
“These criminal elements must be fished out and brought to justice. The Commission will not tolerate any attempt to undermine the integrity of its recruitment process,” the statement warned.
The PSC further reassured Nigerians that the police recruitment process, once officially declared open, will be transparent, merit-based, and guided strictly by established rules and procedures.
“Any recruitment process will follow due process and will be adequately publicized through verified government platforms,” it emphasized.
The public is advised to remain cautious, avoid engaging with unauthorized websites or agents, and report suspicious recruitment messages to the appropriate authorities.
