Arugungu Partners FCC on the recruitment of the police, Riot Act on Racketeering

The Police Services Commission (PSC) warned that it will deal with anyone who intends to get involved in any form of racket or fraud in the recruitment of Nigerians qualified in the Nigerian police forces (NPF).

A press statement by PSC Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, Wednesday in Abuja, said that the Commission will soon begin the processes for the exercise of this year that will include ASP and cadet inspectors.

He said that the president of the Commission, Dig Hashimu Salihu Argentu (Retd.), He gave the warning when he paid a request for courtesy to the executive president of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Hon. Kayode Oladele and his management team Wednesday.

The spokesman said that Dig Argerungu, who led the PSC team, including the commissioner representing the commission judiciary, judge Paul Adamu Galumje, warned that any unacceptable behavior, clear practices or upsetting acts during the recruitment processes will be resistant and sanctioned deviant.

He argued that although the date for another recruitment of Nigerians qualified in the NPF has not been set, there can be no better time to look for the partnership and the cooperation of the FCC as one of the reliable and fundamental parts in the police recruitment process.

The president of the PSC assured that there must be transparency, responsibility and equity in the assumption process.

The question of discretion, renunciation or replacement said that it denies the principle of fairness and equity, and therefore must be avoided.

By welcoming his guests, the head of the FCC, the Hon. Kayode Oladele, said that the visit was not only a demonstration of inter-agency cooperation, but also a testimony of a shared commitment for the ideals of equity, justice, equity and national Chesion as a sanction in the establishment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He observed that “working together to guarantee equity and balanced representation in the police, we are laying the foundations for a strong sense of belonging, trust in public institutions and sustainable peace across the country”.

The president of the FCC also reiterated that “a diversified and inclusive police force is better positioned to build public trust, discourage insecurity and serve all citizens without prejudice thus strengthening the pillars of the renewed agenda of hope”.

This is as it reiterated the readiness of the FCC to work closely with the PSC in monitoring and guaranteeing the conformity of the federal character in the NPF and also confident that the partnership will do a lot to serve the best interests of Nigeria and the Nigerians in general.
