Calls for Review as Recruitment List Flooded with Non-Applicants

The Nigeria Police Force has raised alarm on the irregularities and alleged corruption of the recently released names of successful candidates in the ongoing 2022/23 Police Constables Recruitment Exercise. This became necessary upon being inundated with a series of complaints and allegations of corruption raised by unsuspecting candidates and stakeholders on the irregularities that marred the exercise most especially the disappearance of the names of screened candidates who were successful to the last stage.

Upon careful scrutiny of the list released on the PSC portal, it was discovered that
i) Several names of persons purported to be names of successful candidates are those who did not even apply and therefore did not take part in the recruitment exercise.
ii) The published list contains several names of candidates who failed either the Computer Based Test (CBT) or the physical screening exercise or both.
iii) There are those who made it to the last stage of the exercise but were disqualified having been found Medically unfit through the standardised medical test but who also made the list of successful candidates as published by the PSC.
vi) Most worrisome is the allegation of financial dealings and corrupt practices leading to the outcome where unqualified and untrainable individuals have been shortlisted.

The Inspector General of Police had on 10th June 2024 written a letter of objection to the list addressed to the Chairman of the Commission, citing the discoveries listed above. The reaction of the IGP was without prejudice to the power of the Commission to recruit for the police as ruled by the Supreme court but this power does not include the power to recruit unqualified and untrained individuals for the police. Noting that it is the police that bears the brunt of recruitment of unqualified individuals and not the PSC. The same people who recruited anyhow for the police today will turn round to accuse the police tomorrow of inefficiency when their recruits start messing up.
The Police therefore has since dissociated itself from the published list and called for a review that will be transparent and credible.

It will be recalled that the leadership of the Police Service Commission, after the pronouncement of the Supreme Court ruling on the powers of the Commission to recruit for the Police, constituted a Joint Recruitment Board, to be headed by one of the Commissioners of the PSC, with the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Training and Development in the Police Force as its Secretary. But surprisingly, the Board was crippled and never allowed to carry out its mandate, insomuch that even the final list was not consented to by the Board.

The Nigeria Police Force therefore takes exception to this unpleasant development and calls for a total review of the process with a view to recruiting qualified, competent, trainable and productive hands into the Nigeria Police Force, in line with the vision of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration on police reform.

The NPF hereby reiterates that we are not unconcerned about the plights and ordeals of prospective recruits, who have been subjected to all forms of rigorous screening exercise, assuring that it is our commitment to ensure that the process is thoroughly reviewed, stands fruitful and successful for the betterment of the Nigeria Police, and by extension the country.

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, “sine die.”

Kanu’s trial was stalled after Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court entered a recusal order on September 24, 2024.

The judge issued the recusal order after Kanu asked her to step down from his trial because he lacked confidence in her ability.

Following her decision, Justice Nyako returned Kanu’s case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho.

However, Tsoho was said to have returned the file to Nyako to continue the trial.

Kanu is currently facing charges of terrorism leveled against him by the Federal Government.

The IPOB leader has been in detention since he was rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition back to Nigeria in 2021.

Gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has confirmed that his second marriage has hit the rocks.

Paul Nwokocha married a woman named Goodness in September 2023 just one month after his marriage to his first wife, Alice, ended.

At the time he married Goodness, he extolled her virtues with songs on their wedding day and stated that she was from his hometown, so his fans concluded this meant he knew her well.

He also explained at the time that he “decided to marry my new wife, Goodness, one month after my ex wife packed out of our matrimonial home because the Holy Bible said Paul Nwokocha should not be alone.”

Sadly, the second marriage ended after just one year.

Addressing his second failed marriage in a video, Paul Nwokocha claimed his wife Goodness was caught taking nud£ photos of herself and sending to men.

“I married a wife not a wh0r£, so I owe no one apology for this,” he said.

“Stop calling me names. He who wears the shoe knows how it pinches,” he added.

“Not even minding how long I married you, if I find that you are doing evil, you’re going out of my house,” he concluded his statement.
