PSC Denies Police Recruitment, Warns Against Fraudulent Online Claims
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has refuted widespread reports circulating on social media claiming that recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force for the year 2025 has begun.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the Commission described the reports as “misleading and mischievous,” urging the public to disregard such publications and wait for official announcements.

“The Commission is yet to commence the process for the recruitment of police officers for 2025,” the statement read. “When the time comes, the recruitment exercise will be carried out following due process and established procedures.”
The PSC expressed dismay over what it described as the recurring efforts by fraudsters to exploit recruitment periods to mislead and defraud unsuspecting members of the public. It also called on relevant security agencies to investigate and prosecute individuals behind the fake announcements.
Reassuring Nigerians of its commitment to fairness and transparency, the Commission emphasized that any official recruitment drive would be announced through legitimate channels and in accordance with its regulations.
The statement concluded with a stern warning to fraudsters to desist from interfering in the Commission’s activities, vowing that those caught would face legal consequences.
