Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general of police, has ordered
the suspension of entry requirements for applicants into the constable cadre of
the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The NPF is looking to recruit 10,000 personnel in line with
the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to add 40,000 policemen to the NPF
over a period of four years.
Frank Mba, force public relations officer, had announced the
recruitment details in a statement on July 11.
The requirements listed in the recruitment include that
applicants must be aged between 17 to 25 years and possess a minimum of five
credits, including English and Mathematics, in WASSCE/NECO/GCE/NABTEB.
Applicants were also required to be medical, physical, and
psychologically fit and must not be less than 1.67m tall for male and 1.64m
tall for female.
“Female applicants must not be pregnant at the time of the
recruitment,” the statement read.
The police authorities had also barred persons with
amputated body parts, defective eyesight, speech impediment, bow legs, knock
knees, bent knees, and gross malformation of teeth from being enlisted into the
force.
According to Punch, Adamu directed police commands and
formations nationwide to attend to all applicants who successfully submitted
their applications online.
In a wireless message on Monday, the IGP said no applicant
should be suspended irrespective of physical appearance, age and qualification.
“Inspector-General of Police directs that you attend to all
applicants who successfully submitted their online applications to police
recruitment portal irrespective of their physical appearance, age and
qualification. You are not to disqualify any applicant for any reason
whatsoever,” it read.
“Note that your recommendation for each applicant will serve
as a guide to ascertaining the suitability or otherwise of each applicant.
Ensure that the entire process is transparent and devoid of corruption and
closely monitor activities of ICT personnel and other members of the team for
strict compliance, please.”
