The Enugu state Police Command has disclosed that the force will not employ people with tattoos in the ongoing nationwide recruitment exercise.

This was disclosed by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Ebere Amaraizu, during a chat with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday.

The police spokesman noted that it was part of the rules for the recruitment, saying that the procedure was put in place by police authorities.

“The present recruitment is for degree holders and will last for three weeks and after that, the selected ones will proceed for the written interview.”

“Over aged people, tattooed persons, falsified results, statement of results over five years and people with some physical impediments will be disqualified from the exercise.”

Speaking on the number of candidates shortlisted, he said, “All I know is that 10,000 people will be recruited nationwide but I do not know the number of those that will be recruited in Enugu zone.”

“We have started and you can see that it is going on peacefully. The exercise is done in batches to avoid any form of rush or stampede. This command will screen the applicants thoroughly to ensure that the best get the job.”
