The Nigeria Police Force has refuted a report claiming that the IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu directed the commencement of training for newly recruited Constables.
The story which surfaced on social media recently had claimed that the purported training was for 50,000 newly hired Constables.
The report, currently in circulation, also had the name and designation of the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, as the issuer.
In a statement by CSP Iniedu, the NPF said the story is false and did not come from the Force.
“The document 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 statement said.
“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.”
