The tussle between the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission to gain full control of the recruitment of 10,000 constables has taken a new twist as the Inspector-General of Police, Moh
ammed Adamu, approved the release of the list of successful candidates despite the PSC suspending the exercise.
The PSC on Friday announced the suspension of the recruitment pending the resolution of the issues with the police. The commission dismissed the list released by the police, insisting it was compiled without its input. “The candidates, according to the information, were invited for medical screening scheduled for September 9-14, 2019. It has been observed that as of September 4 afternoon the list has been withdrawn from their website.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary, PSC, Mr Maurice Mberi, who appealed to the workers who protested against Adamu’s decision in Abuja on Wednesday, said Smith had sought an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari over the issue. The workers however stated that they would not return to work until the commission recovered “its constitutional mandate to recruit into the force”.Spokesman for the Joint Staff Union, Abonyi Abonyi, accused Smith of colluding with the police to render the PSC redundant.
