The Police Service Commission (PSC) has made it clear that the recruitment of Police Officers for 2025 has not yet begun. In a press release issued by the Commission on Sunday, August 3, 2025, it described circulating social media posts inviting applications as “misleading and mischievous.”
According to Ikechukwu Ani from the Press and Public Relations Unit, “The Commission has not commenced this exercise and obviously will follow established procedures and processes when it is ready.” He added that any post claiming the recruitment has started is false and should be ignored.
The Commission expressed concern over ongoing attempts by fraudsters to mislead the public. “The Commission frowns at this consistent attempt to fraudulently confuse the public each time there are preparations for recruitment,” the statement read.
It also called on law enforcement agencies to investigate those behind the fake announcements and ensure the credibility of the recruitment process is maintained. “It calls on relevant security agencies to go after these fraudsters and protect the integrity of Police Recruitment.”
The PSC promised to keep the public updated through official channels and warned scammers to stay away. “The fraudsters are warned to stay off Commission’s programmes as they would be fished out and sanctioned according to law.”
