Police release candidates’ list despite court order

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

In its completed recruitment exercise, the Nigeria Police Force released the names of successful applicants.

On Thursday, a post on Nigeria Police Force’s checked Twitter handle,@policeng, said police inspector-general Mohammed Adamu had reviewed the list.

This violated Federal High Court, Abuja’s order, which instructed the police and the commission to maintain the status quo on 10,000 constables being recruited.

Justice Inyang Ekwo gave the order at the hearing of the case on Wednesday.

Following police insistence on their right to conduct the recruiting exercise, the commission filed the suit.

The Twitter post read, “The IGP has vetted and given approval for the release of the final and authenticated list of successful candidates who participated in the ongoing recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Police Force. Below is the list of successful candidates: https://www.npf.gov.ng/information/index.php.”

The statement instructed the successful candidates to report at the Police Colleges/Training Schools indicated against their states, adding that on Monday training and documentation would begin.

“The training and documentation shall commence on October, 28 and closes on November 1, 2019. Failure to report for training within the stipulated time will mean that the candidate has declined the offer,” it added.
