Dogfight over police jobs
It’s a never ending show. Authorities of the Nigeria Police are again at loggerheads with the Police Service Commission (PSC) over 10,000 new recruits for the force. The police accused the service commission of adulterating the published list of successful candidates with unqualified and untested persons, while the commission charged back that the police leadership had wanted to smuggle hundreds of unqualified candidates onto the list but was blocked, hence the bitterness with what got published. The sister organisations are back to an old turf battle that had pitched them in a four-year-long tussle through trial and appellate courts. The PSC on 4th June published a list of what it claimed were the 10,000 successful applicants for constable and specialist cadre jobs in the 2022/23 recruitment for the police. But police leadership slammed the list as fraudulent and demanded a review over alleged sharp practices that it claimed tainted what was published. Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejob
