The Bauchi state Police Command has commenced screening of over 22,000 applicants for the constable recruitment exercise in the state.
At the Police Training School in Bauchi Wednesday, the applicants from across the 20 local government areas were seen with their various documents, dressed in white T-shirts and shorts in queues and were screened at three stages of the physical screening.
While speaking with journalists at the venue in Yelwa, the Commissioner of Police, Auwal Mohammed Musa said, “All have been warned especially those that will partake in the recruitment process that they shun corruption; nobody is allowed to even come around with money. It is going to be perfected to ensure that we get the best for the Nigerian Police.
“As you can see here in Bauchi, the complaint always has been that there is inadequate manpower but now the federal government has taken the bull by the horns by trying to improve on the strength of the personnel of the Nigerian Police Force.
“This is a welcome development and we are going to support the federal government and the chairman of the Police Service Commission to ensure that the whole process is corruption-free and straightforward.”
