ASHENEWS reports that the Police Service Commission (PSC) has asked applicants earlier directed to leave the designated screening centres after their practical examination to return immediately for their medical tests.
The PSC stated this in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani.
The statement said that the applicants were erroneously asked to leave the screening centres after their practical examination before their medical checks.
“Those who were erroneously asked to leave the centres after the practical exams and who qualified for the next and final level of the exercise which is the medical screening are advised to return immediately to their centres to be medically examined.
“The Board regrets the confusion that attended the beginning of the medical screening and wish to apologise to the applicants who were caught in the confusion and who were asked to go home after the practical tests and wait for another date for the screening,” the PSC said in the statement.
The Board noted that the list of successful candidates would be released and the Recruits sent to the Police Colleges for training immediately after the medical screening.
It stressed that the Police Recruitment Board has clarified that its decision on immediate medical screening for specialist applicants who scaled through the ongoing practical tests in the Police Zonal Command Headquarters is sacrosanct and should be observed in all the centres currently hosting the practical tests across the country.
The Board warned that any qualified applicant who fails to turn up for the medical examination will have shot him/herself out of the field for final selection.
This online platform reports that the Police Recruitment Board fixed April 16 for practical tests/medical screening of specialist applicants in the ongoing recruitment of Constables into the Nigeria Police Force.
The tests for both general duty applicants and specialists, which had earlier been scheduled to start on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, will last for two weeks.
