Police warn applicants of fake portal

The Nigerian Police Force has issued a warning to applicants seeking to apply in the ongoing recruitment exercise about the existence of a fake portal.

The Force had detected the existence of an unauthorized portal that had been misleading prospective applicants by soliciting applications in the name of the Force.

This was disclosed in a statement made available on the Force’s official X handle on Wednesday.

In the statement signed by the Force’s Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force distanced itself from the deceptive portal.

The statement read, “To ensure that you are accessing the authentic portal for the Nigeria Police Force recruitment, kindly use the following official URLs: apply.policerecruitment.gov.ng, policerecruitment.gov.ng.

“These are the only legitimate channels for submitting your application. Applying on the wrong portal is the reason for certain complaints against the recruitment portal.”

Furthermore, it added that “prospective applicants who have submitted applications on the illegal portal are hereby advised to reapply on the authentic portal.

“The authentic portal is working perfectly, and thousands of applications have been received therefrom.

“We strongly advise all prospective applicants to exercise due diligence and verify the authenticity of any portal or recruitment information before taking any action.

“Do not be deceived by fraudulent activities. Your safety and security are of paramount importance to us.”
