The Nigeria Police Force has declared fake a viral press release claiming that Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu ordered the training of 50,000 newly recruited constables.
The Police warned candidates to disregard the purported press release titled, “IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu directs commencement of training for 50,000 newly recruited police constables,” and rely only on official recruitment channels.
It said the statement bearing the name and designation of the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, is false and was neither issued nor authorised by the Nigeria Police Force.
“Members of the public, particularly Police recruitment candidates, are advised to disregard its contents and rely only on information published through the official Police recruitment portal and verified NPF communication channels.
“The Force is currently on the trail of the persons responsible for generating and circulating the false document and will take appropriate legal action against those found culpable,” the statement said.
