Nigeria Police disowns report on training of 50,000 newly recruited Constables

The Nigeria Police Force has strongly denied an internet report claiming that Inspector General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu initiated training for 50,000 newly recruited Constables. This unfounded story circulated on social media and mistakenly named the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, as the source. However, a statement from CSP Iniedu clarified that the report is entirely false and did not originate from the Nigeria Police Force.

The police force urged the public, especially those preparing for recruitment, to disregard the document and refer solely to official Police recruitment portals and verified NPF communication channels for accurate information. The force is actively investigating the individuals behind the creation and dissemination of the false document and plans to enforce legal consequences on those found responsible.
