In order to ensure transparency and loyalty in the recruitment exercise of the Police service commission, the commission has warned recruitment fraudsters still opening and operating fake Facebook accounts of its Chairman, Mike Okiro, to deceive unsuspecting applicants to desist from such act.

The commission gave the warning in a statement to ceoafrica by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, in Abuja on Tuesday saying it has discovered a new Facebook account of Okiro on Monday after it threatened to arrest and prosecute the brains behind fraud in the past.

He said that fraudsters were said to be using the account to demand for payments as guarantee for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.

Stressing the reason behind the warning, Ani said on the commission’s behalf that its chairman has no official or private Facebook account not to talk of operating one.

He however advised Applicants to ignore the fraudsters and report any such incident to the nearest police station adding that perpetrators would be severely dealt with.

Ani added that the commission would remain resolute in its decision to ensure that the recruitment exercise was concluded without blemish.

The recruitment of 10,000 policemen is at its last stage of interview, scheduled to hold in Abuja on a date yet to be announced.
