The Police Service Commission (PSC), yesterday disowned multiple social media reports on the 2022 police constable recruitment exercise, especially on the ‘imaginary’ scheduled date for training of shortlisted candidates.

The commission also condemned the use of the name of its spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, on fictitious and phantom press statements calculated to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians on the status of the recruitment exercise.

A statement by the Head, Press and Public Relations, Ani, said the commission clarified that it had at no time issued any statement on review of the list of successful candidates, and inviting  successful candidates to check application on newly launched portal.

According to him, the commission had not at any time advised candidates to print any updated invitation slip and proceed to the police training colleges.

Ani stressed that it has not announced any date for the training programme and the Monday, July 22, 2024 date, bandied on social media was just the imagination of the impostors.

The commission advised candidates to be patient and await its official statement on the just concluded recruitment exercise.

The commission also warned the so-called impostors to steer clear of its activities especially the recruitment exercise, stressing that anybody caught undermining the exercise will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
