PSC raises alarm over plot to dupe unsuccessful
applicants
Meanwhile, the Police Service Commission, PSC, has
discovered that fraudsters have opened accounts to dupe unsuspecting applicants
who were unsuccessful at the recently concluded Police recruitment.
The fraudsters, according to reports reaching the
commission, are asking these applicants to pay money into the accounts so that
they will make the supplementary list.
The PSC said: “For avoidance of doubts, the
commission is not presently raising any supplementary list and has not mandated
anybody to do same or collect money from anybody.”
Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Mike Okiro, said in
Abuja that the Police had been ordered to investigate the existence of this
fraudulent account and to arrest anybody directly or indirectly involved in the
scam.
