A viral message on social media attributed to the Police Service Commission (PSC) claims police recruits are to come with ₦2000 for screening.
The claim is FALSE
The fraudulent message, circulating on social media, uses the Commission’s name and states: “Congratulations…come along with 2k when coming” for the January 8th screening.
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has issued a public warning, urging Nigerians to disregard a social media message claiming that candidates for the ongoing police constable recruitment must pay N2000 for screening.
The Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, describing the message as fake and misleading said “The Commission disowns and disassociates itself from this fictitious and misleading publication,” Ani stated.
The PSC reiterated that the entire recruitment process, from registration to medical exams, is completely free. No fees are required at any stage, and the Commission vows to hold responsible any individuals attempting to exploit candidates.
CONCLUSION
The claim that Police recruits are to pay for screening is FALSE.
