The Police Service Commission, PSC has denied claims that its recruitment of 10,000 police constables didn’t follow due process.
PSC said it employed eligible constables into the force and it followed due process, as all candidates have been fully certified fit for the job
Ikechukwu Ani, the Head of Press and Public Relations in a statement on Friday, said the PSC had watched with keen interest the developments since it concluded and released the list of successful candidates for recruitment as Constables into the Nigeria Police Force.
According to the statement, ”the Commission is disturbed at the flagrant abuse of ethics, the Constitution and valid judgment of the apex court of the land which gave it power to recruit eligible candidates into the force.
“It is important to state that due process was meticulously followed throughout the exercise and the Commission wishes to assert its prerogative to exercise full control over recruitments into the Nigeria Police Force.
“It is unfortunate that the Police has attributed its obvious failure to protect lives and properties, and safeguard our nation from banditry and terrorism to bad recruitment, ” It said.
