The Edo State Police Command has revealed that a total of 643 individuals submitted applications for recruitment into the Nigerian Police Force within the state. Commissioner of Police Funsho Adegboye shared this information with the press on Thursday at the aptitude test centres in Benin City.
Despite the high interest in recruitment, Adegboye cautioned applicants against offering money to anyone with the aim of expediting their employment process.
“I am bringing the message of the Inspector General of Police, IG Kayode Egbetokun, that you don’t have to give anybody money to join the police.
“Joining the police is not a secret affair but an open affair, once you pass this examination you are qualified to join the police.
“The chairman of the Police Service Commission, IG Solomon Arase (rtd), has also reintegrated that police recruitment is an open affair and not for sale,” he said.
The CP added that 90 per cent of the applicants are qualified and fit to join the Police, assuring that those who passed the aptitude and medical tests will be recruited.
