Mba said any candidate who failed to present the mandatory basic requirements would not be considered for the screening.

According to him, “The screening exercise will take place at designated locations within each State/FCT. Detailed and specific guidelines for each state will be announced by the Police Public Relations Officers (PPRO) in the 36 and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“The screening and other activities touching on the recruitment exercise will be carried out in strict compliance with the COVID-19 prevention protocols.
