President Muhammadu Buhari has warned the Nigerian Police against the practice of extorting money from applicants before being recruited into the force.
The President gave this warning before approving the recruitment of 10,000 policemen and women.
Buhari said that he would not tolerate any irregularities or extortion of money from unemployed Nigerians in the coming recruitment into the police.
He spoke during a meeting with officials of the Ministry of Police Affairs and the Police Service Commission in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President said: “You must ensure that the recruitment process is transparent. Those who will conduct the recruitment must be above board. It should not be heard that they receive gratification or extort money from those who want to enlist in the police.”
