Musliu Smith, chairman of Police Service Commission, PSC, has said that "people of questionable character" has found their way into the police recruitment camps.
He said this while addressing participants at a one-day sensitization and town-hall meeting on the Police Recruitment Exercise in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, January 31, 2022.
His words, “Part of the challenges the commission discovered during recruitment exercises from 2019 was the academic challenges of the applicants, which is a sad reflection on the society.
“The society must encourage upright and responsible citizens to apply for the recruitment.
“If our responsible and upright young ones are discouraged from joining the police, where are we going to source for the police officers of our dreams?
“Police and policing are a noble act and deserves the best of the society to join and change the narrative on the issue of internal security of our nation.
“We must raise alarm if we notice not so good persons applying to join the police. There have been cases of robbers finding their way into recruitment camps.
“We must all come together as a community to ensure only the best apply for and are recruited into the Nigeria police.”
