The Police in Taraba on Wednesday said some fraudsters have
started online police recruitment in the social media and have
advised people not to become victims of the scam.
The Police Public Relations Officer, in the State, DSP Joseph
Kwaji, issued this warning in a statement released in Jalingo on
Wednesday.
The statement said the 10,000 police officers recruitment
approved by President Muhammadu Buhari was yet to
commence.
“The command wishes to inform the public that the 10,000
police officers recruitment approved by President Buhari is yet
to commence.
“Modalities for the recruitment are being worked out by the
Police Service Commission and would be announced in due
course.
“The public is hereby warned to beware of online fraudsters who
may take advantage of the recruitment information to defraud
them of their hard earned money,” it stated.
The statement also urged citizens and medical personnel to
assist accident victims and persons with gunshot injuries and
thereafter, inform the police for necessary action.
It noted that the directive had become imperative following
neglects by good Samaritans and consequent untimely death of
victims for fear of being implicated.
