Recruitment: Rivers Police Warn Criminals

As thousands of applicants await Short Message Service (SMS) for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force, the Police Command in Rivers State says those with criminal records will not be recruited.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Nnamdi Omoni, stated this, yesterday, in Port Harcourt.
Omoni warned those he described as hooligans to keep off the examination and interviews centres for the recruitment.
He said that those with questionable characters who might have been recruited by omission in the past would be flushed out when discovered.
“The police have no immediate means of knowing a criminal, but if after recruitment we discover that one has a criminal record, he/she will be shown the way out.
“Such suspects could be prosecuted accordingly.
“However, ex-militants and ex-cultists that had been granted amnesty by either the federal or state governments and have repented genuinely could be recruited,” he said.
Some applicants that wore tattoos in past recruitments were sent back.
