The Police Service Commission (PSC) has suspended the 2022 recruitment of Constables after a protest by the Force Headquarters. Its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement on Tuesday, said the suspension of the recruitment exercise was to resolve all contending issues with the Nigeria Police Force.

While the PSC said its action was in the interest of the nation and enjoined all interested applicants to be patient while the issues were being resolved, it promised to continue to strive to give Nigerians a Police Force to be proud of.

The commission had on August 11, issued a publication in the media on the commencement of the 2022 recruitment of Constables into the Nigeria Force, but on Monday the Force Headquarters distanced itself from the recruitment process for the 2022 batch of Constables, noting that the advert, was not in tandem with the Police recruitment process.
