Nigerian Police Reject Constables’ Recruitment List After Arase’s Sack

Published

on

By


Under the leadership of Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, the Nigeria Police Force has refused to accept the list of successful applicants for constable and specialist cadre positions released by the Police Service Commission (PSC).

In a statement on Saturday, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, said the list was fraught with irregularities.

While releasing the list on June 4, Solomon Arase, former PSC Chairman, had said the selection process was rigorous in a bid to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of the force.

However, six days after the list became public, he was sacked by President Bola Tinubu, who announced Hashimu Argungu, a retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, as his replacement.

In his statement, Adejobi said many persons who did not apply to join the force had their names on the recruitment list.



“The Nigeria Police Force has raised alarm on the irregularities and alleged corruption of the recently released names of successful candidates in the ongoing 2022/23 Police Constables Recruitment Exercise. This became necessary upon being inundated with a series of complaints and allegations of corruption raised by unsuspecting candidates and stakeholders on the irregularities that marred the exercise most especially the disappearance of the names of screened candidates who were successful to the last stage.”

“Upon careful scrutiny of the list released on the PSC portal, it was discovered that

i) Several names of persons purported to be names of successful candidates are those who did not even apply and therefore did not take part in the recruitment exercise. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

ii) The published list contains several names of candidates who failed either the Computer Based Test (CBT) or the physical screening exercise or both.

iii) There are those who made it to the last stage of the exercise but were disqualified having been found Medically unfit through the standardised medical test but who also made the list of successful candidates as published by the PSC.

vi) Most worrisome is the allegation of financial dealings and corrupt practices leading to the outcome where unqualified and untrainable individuals have been shortlisted.”

Adejobi said Egbetokun expressed his disapproval of the list in a letter to Arase on June 10, 2024, coincidentally the day the former chairman was sacked.

It is unclear if the controversial list contributed to the removal of the former PSC chairman.



“The Inspector General of Police had on 10th June 2024 written a letter of objection to the list addressed to the Chairman of the Commission, citing the discoveries listed above. The reaction of the IGP was without prejudice to the power of the Commission to recruit for the police as ruled by the Supreme court but this power does not include the power to recruit unqualified and untrained individuals for the police. Noting that it is the police that bears the brunt of recruitment of unqualified individuals and not the PSC. The same people who recruited anyhow for the police today will turn round to accuse the police tomorrow of inefficiency when their recruits start messing up.”

“The Police therefore has since dissociated itself from the published list and called for a review that will be transparent and credible. It will be recalled that the leadership of the Police Service Commission, after the pronouncement of the Supreme Court ruling on the powers of the Commission to recruit for the Police, constituted a Joint Recruitment Board, to be headed by one of the Commissioners of the PSC, with the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Training and Development in the Police Force as its Secretary. But surprisingly, the Board was crippled and never allowed to carry out its mandate, insomuch that even the final list was not consented to by the Board.

“The Nigeria Police Force therefore takes exception to this unpleasant development and calls for a total review of the process with a view to recruiting qualified, competent, trainable and productive hands into the Nigeria Police Force, in line with the vision of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration on police reform.

“The NPF hereby reiterates that we are not unconcerned about the plights and ordeals of prospective recruits, who have been subjected to all forms of rigorous screening exercise, assuring that it is our commitment to ensure that the process is thoroughly reviewed, stands fruitful and successful for the betterment of the Nigeria Police, and by extension the country.”

On April 22, a report from the Financial Times, shared by Reuters, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to stop the war in Ukraine but only if the front lines stay where they are right now. This idea was brought up as part of talks with former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is trying to play a role in negotiating peace.

According to the report, Putin had this conversation in St. Petersburg earlier this month with Steve Witkoff, who is known to be close to Trump and is acting as his special representative in the talks. During their meeting, Putin reportedly said that Russia might be willing to give up its claims to certain parts of Ukraine specifically, areas within four regions that are only partially controlled by Russian forces and still have Ukrainian troops in them…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

12 States Sue Trump Over ‘Illegal’ Tariffs That Could Send Prices Soaring and Jobs Disappearing –

Published

By

 

Twelve U.S. states have taken legal action against the Trump administration, accusing it of unlawfully raising taxes on Americans through tariffs. These tariffs were put in place using a law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which gives the president special powers during national emergencies. But the lawsuit argues that this law was never meant to be used to create tariffs and that Trump has gone beyond what the law allows.

The states claim that in the 50 years since the law was created, no president has used it to put tariffs in place, even during times when the country faced serious drug-related issues or major trade deficits. They believe Congress never intended for the law to be used in this way…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Liberal TV Hosts Mock Pregnant Tiffany Trump, but Barron Trump Shuts Them Up for Good! –

Published

The bright lights of a television studio shined as three popular TV hosts sat at their desk, smiling into the camera. But what they said next shocked the world. They mocked Tiffany Trump—calling her a gold digger, saying she was like her mother, and laughing at the fact that she was pregnant. One of the hosts even said, “Just imagine another Trump in the world.” Millions of viewers watched in silence. Some were angry. Some were hurt. Others turned off their TVs.

But no one was more upset than Baron Trump.

Baron, Tiffany’s younger brother, was sitting in the White House. He clenched his jaw and stared at the screen. His hands gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Tiffany had always been kind to him. She had always supported him. And now, people were laughing at her on national television…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

A security guard nearby noticed something was wrong. “Sir, is everything okay?” he asked.

Baron stood up, tall and serious. “No,” he said. “It’s not.”

For years, Baron had stayed quiet. The world knew him as the quiet son of former President Donald Trump. But this time, he refused to stay silent. He took out his phone, pressed record, and spoke clearly and powerfully.

“You disgust me,” Baron said to the TV hosts. “Mocking my sister. Calling her mother names. You sit behind a desk and think you can say anything you want. You don’t know my family. You don’t know my sister. And you definitely don’t know me.”

He posted the video online. Within minutes, it went viral. People around the world watched as Baron stood up for his sister with strength and intelligence. The hashtag #BaronDefendsTiffany started trending. Millions praised him for speaking the truth.

The TV hosts didn’t expect this. They thought no one would speak out. But Baron’s calm but firm response left them speechless. Still, they tried to fight back. One host went back on air and said, “Baron Trump is just another spoiled rich kid throwing a tantrum.”

Baron watched quietly. Then he made a decision.

“I want to sue them,” he told his father’s legal team.

The lawyers got to work. Soon, headlines spread across the internet: Baron Trump Sues TV Network for Defamation.

But Baron wasn’t finished. He held a press conference and spoke directly to the American people.

“This isn’t about politics,” Baron said. “It’s about human decency. When did it become okay to attack a pregnant woman on television?”

His message was clear. It wasn’t just about his sister—it was about all people who are treated unfairly by the media. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The video of his speech broke records. Over 100 million people watched. People cried. Some who had once criticized the Trump family admitted they were wrong. Even celebrities praised Baron for his courage.

The network that aired the cruel segment panicked. Advertisers pulled out. Ratings dropped. They offered Baron a large amount of money to drop the lawsuit.

But Baron said no.

“I don’t care about money,” he told his lawyers. “I want a public apology. On air. The same way they mocked my sister.”

And he got it.

The same TV hosts who had laughed at Tiffany were now on camera, apologizing to her and her family. Tiffany sat in the front row, wiping away tears. Baron sat beside her, calm and proud.

But some media outlets still tried to twist the story. Baron refused to back down. He pushed the lawsuit to court. During the trial, one of the hosts admitted they had lied. The judge ruled in Baron’s favor. The network had to pay millions and the hosts were suspended.

On the courthouse steps, Baron spoke to the world again.

“This isn’t about revenge,” he said. “It’s about truth. It’s about justice.”

Tiffany stood beside him. “My brother stood up for me when no one else would,” she said, tears in her eyes.

Baron became a symbol of truth and courage. He donated all the money from the lawsuit to help others who had suffered from media lies. People across the country called him “The Protector.”

One week. That’s all it took to change everything.

Baron Trump—once the quiet youngest son of a president—had become a powerful voice for justice.
