Meanwhile the Police Service Commission has discovered that fraudsters have opened accounts to dupe unsuspecting applicants who were unsuccessful at the recently concluded Police recruitment.
The Fraudsters, according to reports reaching the Commission, are asking these applicants to pay money into the accounts so that they will make the supplementary list.
The Commission said it is not presently raising any supplementary list and has not mandated anybody to do same or collect money from anybody.
The Chairman of the Commission, Sir Mike Mbama Okiro, a retired Inspector General of Police, said in Abuja that the Police have been ordered to investigate the existence of this fraudulent account and to arrest anybody directly or indirectly involved in the scam.
Okiro also said that his office is not receiving any names for supplementary recruitment, adding that applicants who were not successful this time should wait for another opportunity rather than submit themselves to the fraudsters.
He noted that the Commission was guided by laid down rules and regulations and that the recruitment was based on merit, Federal Character and geographical spread.
